:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:
I certainly appreciate what it is, but christ on a cracker that’s freakin ugly. Haha.
I thought it was getting tuned yesterday
update?
yea…i was excited to hear about the tuning…i think it looks good…Its unique and certainly CtNewman styles
That was just it being on the street before going on the trailer to innovative. We’re still in the middle of tuning… hopefully done today.
oh snap. lookin fresh. oh and btw paint your sideskirts black.
so did you push it or drive it to the street =)
that might look proper considering the black of the bumper goes right into the flares…hrmmmmmmm
:tup:
yeah i think that rug would really tie the room together…
I wanna see this shit.
It’s at innovative being tuned right now.
IanK, get on this!
Those are prob my favorite rims i have ever seen on an e30
Bud I think I need to put something in perspective. Carnut was at my shop while the Skyline he worked on got tuned. The tuner spent two very full days getting that car running and he’s tuned tons of RB’s on AEM EMS so he had a map from a car with almost the same mods to start with. That saves a lot of time, plus he has a really efficient way of tuning them including special macros and math functions he developed to speed the process up while he worked for AEM. I’ll also be doing cold start tuning which means I’ll need the car totally cold to start it and adjust the start and warmup functions. While this part is not very time consuming, the car has to sit overnight or all day to get fully cold before I can run a single test. It generally takes 2-5 to get it just right.
I’m going to get the car tuned and running great, but it’s going to take me longer than it took him, and it took him around 20 hours of time at the laptop, not counting the other testing/diagnosis work we’re doing. He also had nothing to do but sit and tune that car all day long. He barely took a lunch break. I get pulled away from tuning throughout the day to help customers, answer questions from our mechanics about the jobs they’re working on etc. I will be working on the car today and tomorrow diligently, but I don’t expect it to be done this weekend.
Tuning a standalone ECU properly takes a good amount of time. Tuning one on a turbocharged application with ITBs makes it take around 2-3 times longer than one with a single throttle body because of the way the ITBs affect airflow into the engine.
Last night we did the following:
compression and leakdown testing
tie wrap vacuum lines
remove headlight, smoke test intake system for boost leaks
remove compressor housing, seal, reinstall housing
Newman fought with a PITA balance tube leak and won
oil change and filter inspection
replace non functioning wideband o2 sensor
diagnose MAP sensor wiring issues
Newman fixed the wiring issues
start car and bleed coolant system
get car onto dyno and call it a night
Today we’re going to:
wrap and secure the new wideband sensor cable like you did the old one so it doesn’t melt on the header
smoke test the exhaust system for leaks
strap the car down and start partial throttle tuning
woo woo!
Seeing how this project started in 2006 however much time he spends tuning isn’t shit in the big picture.
