198 at the wheels...find out what the hell I'm doing to my REX... what I'm pissed about...I guess that says it all.
For those of you green to these kind of things... that's 198 wheel horsepower (which is different from the horsepower advertised by car manufactureres... i believe that's horsepower at the crank they adverstise)
Ya... I guess my car ISN'T fast. It felt fast... I mean... let's put it in some kind of perspective... I have the Link ECU, vf34, fully catless, injectors, intake... people around the country pull 260+ horses w/ that setup.
Oh... btw... i was boosting 18.5 PSI!!!
So what's wrong?... (i would post the dyno chart but i didn't get to scan it yet.) but basically... its fine except for that ITS TOO DAMN RICH!!!... that's what you get for street tuning the car w/out a wideband O2 sensor (which is already ordered btw!)
Am i pissed off?!? nah, not at all... i didn't really expect HUGE numbers because we never dyno tuned it. Now... for the street tuning... i'm not gonna do that again 'til we get a wideband O2 sensor.

Hey, I just drove a stage 4 today
It was wicked awesome!!!! Night and day. Butt dyno aside, I am very certain of the difference. The ???mph race I just did up Kunia road made ecstatic. What changed? A little, teeny, tiny Y connector. I was using about a 2 gauge sized T connector to hook my ABC up to. WOW.
I'm really trying not to be too overly enthusiastic. I'll probably find myself running slower down at the track, but for now, I don't care. You ought to feel that frickin turbo come on. And it comes on progressively, even with my gain set to most conservative.
I would feel like a complete newby, chucklehead, doodie-face for making a laimbrain mistake like that, but I'm too happy.
Oh, by the way, I came in 2nd from last at the autocross today. WAHOOOO!!!
I guess that sort of reinforces one thing (although I don't know how). I pulled between 2-4% (pretty significant) across the board for fuel and after the autocross, I've got the sharp, stank smell of gasoline still in my nostrils. Fphpew!!!
How can pulling fuel make you rich (or at least smell rich)?
I'm back at the base st4 fuel levels. No knock.

How do you know ? If you came in 2nd to last, I must've been last place....The course just did not agree with me today
I felt like a fish outta water.Steve
