There is no real 'hit' when you come into boost, onset is slowed just enough to make the car SUPER linear, and transient boost between gears is still damn quick. I can't wait to get tuned and *gasp* get more supporting mods on this thing!
On the injectors, I've tried 3 different published scaling/latency values and all seem to want to go around -10 on the fuel trims and WOT has been anywhere from 10.3-11.8 on my existing fuel map, but they start, idle, and cruise perfect, even with the a/c on. The idle control system on the X is WORLDS better than dsms/evos, it is nothing short of amazing to me.
On the MAP turnaround, I talked to them a week prior, setup a rough date, and then turned up thursday and begged them to get it done for me. If you have more than 24 hours I'm sure they could fit it in 48-72 hours no problem, they like to keep similar coatings together (i.e. do a manifold and hotside at the same time). Basically just being respectful, giving them a solid heads up and then asking really nicely if they'll stick to that schedule is all it takes. Beer helps, as always. Yes murlo, I got it coated, see pics in the install/turbo pr0n post  |
I will try sweat talking them when I get there today
Yea its pretty insane how the X is up top...I honestly had trouble shifting my Red at 7600rpm, the turbo was pulling so hard up top it wanted to rev higher. The BBX looks to be exactly the same. It honestly is starting to feel more and more like my turbo RSX...well it was, lol.
What other supporting mods are you looking to do Scheides? The CBRD mani looks epic, I think i might do that this winter...most people on stock frames have showed no losses on tubular mani's on the X's and lots to gain up top! Or I might have ETS build me a twin mini EWG tubular to keep twinscroll, now that would be epic...but T3 kit priced, lol.
