Here are 2 logs. 1 from 3rd gear 2500 rpm
and 1 from 1-6 gear.
This is my first time logging.
I think my AFR is running lean no? Do i need upgraded fuel pump?

I let off the gas abit early on the gear 1-6 log cuz i ran out of road lol, i think on gear 5 i slowed down quite a bit.
I have no codes when i read the code and car feels strong but I am really OCD and want to make sure i find whats wrong and fix it before pushing.
Please give honest feedback and how to fix what is wrong.
I've also just sent these to PTF for review as well

Spoke to you on IG. Logs look fine.

Flashed BM3 today and it turned off my cold start. Is there a reasoning to this besides being really loud and annoying to neighbors? Is a cold start good for warming up the engine or are there no benefits from it.

JaredG_F30 · 09-24-2019, 07:21 AM

Turning off the cold start is quiet. Cold start on is loud. No reason for a cold start on unless you have a DP with catalytic converter. I've also found that with a cold start on my idle first thing in the morning is much more smooth. I experienced erratic idle with cold start off so turned it back on and set cold start idle to 850 RPM. It's louder than cold start off but not as loud as cold start on at OEM idle setpoint which I believe is around 1100RPM.

Since I have a Fabspeed catted DP I guess I should turn it back on. I also noticed an erratic idle with the cold start off this morning. Guess it's back to being the annoying neighbor again!

Love it man. I posted my initial impressions in a post below. I think the fact I went FBO all at the same time made the difference really apparent. Trans flash made sports mode silky smooth and responsive too. I do no like the burbles though, prob gonna turn that off.

Good to hear! I tried flashing stage 1 93 last night but the Agent was picking up my cable connection. I just ordered an Apple Enet to USB connector for my Mac on PTF's recommendation. I hope this works.

Hi

I have some engine knocks and I would be happy if someone would help me figure out why this happens.

This is with 98 RON (with a bottle of STP 5in1)...

Should I replace OEM spark plugs?

I had the same issue. I followed Jared's advise and my car is a lot happier.

You'll love it. Had my tune for almost a week now. Going to do the transmission tune later this week. I've heard they complement each other nicely.

Freaking awesome! Did the tune and trans tune a few hours later. I keep finding excuses to go drive the car.

These logs are a mess....do 3rd or 4th gear 2500 RPM to 6500 RPM and then slow down and end log.

I'll give this a try too. my car about 30% of the time the start up is sporadic, i have cold start set to OEM,

dotjonnL · 10-04-2019, 11:49 AM

I will be purchasing a license soon and want to know if the one map it comes with includes the Stage 2 ACN91 map or do I have to purchase the map pack?

Does the TCU flash come with the license or is that part of the map pack as well?

Any Canadians running into problems running Stage 2 ACN 91 with Shell V Power 91?

You can run the normal 91 Oct map and start from there.

He has crap gas, so he should select the ACN 91 map as his free map. Don't choose the 91 map unless you're prepared to run boostane in every tank.
