So you're using what to tune with?

for now just the 5 knob S-AFC, it'll run fine, just as long as i'm not boosting a lot. Soon i'll be getting DSM Link.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

Well at least with those 8.3:1 Wisecos you'll be able to take advantage of the fact that the fiddy trim is a pump gas warrior by running a decent amount of boost on pump, just don't let Rick tune it...

Hopefully it doesn't have ARP mains.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

do you even have a logger cable for the 5 knob? The safc itself cant be used to tune very well at all. Even with the 2g logger, the car cant be tuned the best.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

no it doesn't have arp mains, and why not let Shindley tune it?

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

wow my computer is really freaked up i cant even type a number without it doing symbols and yes my caps lock is on but im typing in lower case hold on so i can fix this.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

Rick has done good work for me, but I've heard some stories.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

I'm curious what Rick means about the 2g oil pump in a 6 bolt to keep the crank sensor?

Cause personally the oil pump has nothing to do with the crank sensor, and a oil pump out of a 7 bolt will work just fine in a 6 bolt without any modifications.

Now if he modified the case cover I am still curious on how this is done. If anyone can elaborate for me, that would be excellent. I would ask Rick but it seems as if whenever someone asks him a question, the way he answers always makes him look like a foolish moron. You'd think a guy like that who wants business and respect would have a little more professionalism in his replys whether he is just screwing around or not.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

well, if you explain maybe i'll think about not letting him tune it, i can always let elite do it, there's no doubt it's going to running rich though.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

When I went there, It sounded like he was saying he beat the crap out peoples cars. I heard he tunes very conservative which might be good if you have no way of loging. He seemed nice to me though and did good work other than trying to tune our talon the day before we were going to go to the track. We were having him do something with it and it was tuned and ready to go. He heard a misfire around 5k and tryed to fix it even thouh we told him not to tune it. The misfire was the studder box and we couldn't go to the track since it was so out of tune. I have nothing against him though. He was nice, got the work done quickly and was only trying to help out.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

btw, it's the RRE method, it's hard to explain. let someone else explain it.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

I think he is just talking about rewiring the crank and cam sensors on the 2g for a 1g cas. I think he is just explaining it wrong.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

no he modified the front case and did alot of work on the CAS so that it could be a 2g in a 6bolt.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

Rick will try & tune your car whether you want him to or not. The one time we took my car to him, I specifially said do not touch my AFC, and he did. Thankfully nothing bad happened...

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

Thank god the AFC II has a password now! :D

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

I think he just likes to drive other people's cars. We told him not to tune also.

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

You didn't use a 1g cas? Why wouldn't you just use a 1g cas. I have never heard of anyone swapping a 6 bolt in and using the 2g cam and crank sensors. Why did he need to modify the front case other than the bs elim?

Re: This is what my rebuilt 6-bolt consists of
 

we couldn't first of all find a 1g CAS and sometimes it doesn't work, there have been lot's of problems with it, Mike at QPR hasn't had problems with it but i've talked to ppl who have and me and rick both decided we should do it that way. It's the RRE way, they've stopped doing it because they're just doing DSM Link now.
