shawn, were you guys concerned about dynoing with that big exhaust leak?

this seems not ideal:

I didn't know you were up there, I visit friends in Pequot Lakes regularly. I hope to get out and meet you and see the car sometime this year - I sold my TII swapped FB last August but maybe I'll get that back or get another rotary. Car's looking great and those dyno numbers are awesome!

I'd be concerned about the fireball from the exhaust too...

We used a manual boost controller since we didnt have time to setup the electric one.... The IWG obviously controlled the boost very well!

Na I set them that way... I currently have them unplugged due to my mistake on making them using constant power... so it constantly drains my battery.

I recently purchased the SSI-4 from Elliot at Turbosource in order to data log my fuel pressure. The unit was fairly inexpensive at $129 and really easy to setup.

I followed the instructional video awesomely laid out by Andy with Adaptronic:


Why would one want to data log their fuel/oil/meth pressure?

1. Engine safety (as pointed out in the video it enables some very nice fail safes to prevent engine failure)
2. Diagnosing any issues with your current setup
3. Remote Tuning!! (I have been sending my data logs to my local tuner for him to adjust my settings to reduce the cost of dyno times)

What is awesome is you can now buy the sensors needed for this unit from a well known shop Full Function Engineering for a very reasonable price of $60.

Here are some pics from my install:

I also Staged my fuel pump using the easy to use Adaptronic software! As shown I just setup an inverted map pressure based map for 7PSI so that the ECU would turn off the ground at 7PSI. After data logging with my SSI-4 we decided to lower that value to 3psi for more fuel stabilization in the higher RPMs... I cant wait to hit the dyno again now that iv sorted out my fuel issues!
