Savagecat's Progress Thread

Wuts wrong with the boost a spark and wuts does boost a pump have to do with it, I figured it wouldn't be worth putting a bigger throttlebody on. Wut do u think about intercooler options

KB makes both and the Boost a Pump works well yet the Boost a Spark does not. Thats what I was saying. If you run to near limitson your fuel system then you may want one. The Boost a Spark though is useless. All it does is give the coil more feed voltage and in theroy it makes a hotter spark. Well on multi pack systems it dont make a difference. It will just burn the coil faster. If you have spark, you have spark. It MAY help if youare blowinghe spark out but you need to be close to 20psi before hat is an issue.

As for the intercooler who knows if it will fit or not. You need to measure and figure that out. An air to water is better then air to air but may not be able to fit it. Even a FMIC will take some work to fit but would be easier then an air to water setup.
 
did read that post right his sister wrecked the car after he put the sc on the car cause she avoided adding water and the water pump quit working????

Heres my pathetic dyno results

Yes that seems low??? I wanted to wait till I had exact numbers for mine before I replied. But I'am just not there yet, but close. Installing a meth/water injection then it's ready. They say a stock Cobra like mine Dyno's around 370 RWH stock and my mark has more pull than the Cobra did stock. It doesn't now because the Cobra is no longer stock. Will compare with you as soon as I get any concrete numbers.

I think after I do the intercooler, pulley, and maybe cobra intake, I'll be putting down around 360RWH
 
I think thats pretty close. The pulley will prolly move you to 9-10psi and with the lower IATs you could bump a few more degrees of timing so 350-360 rwhp sounds about right.
 
Ok I finally got my oil pan done and I got a smaller belt and they car has no belt slip anymore. My problem now is my check engine light has been on an it was before with my last tune with codes for both banks running rich now the codes are for bank 2 running lean and bank 1 running rich now I don't know if that could have to do with the tune or if my o2 sensors are bad cause I don't understand how one side could be lean and the other rich unless I have a bad fuel injector or something and now I'm afraid to drive with it running lean. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

What does MPE Racing say?
They did your tune right?

If you pull your o2s, just replace them, don't buy bosh.
 
I replaced the fronts with bosch's when I did the headers a few years ago but I never did the rears, but I would think the rears wouldn't matter since they're after the cat. I'm not even gonna bother calling MPE I know he's just gonna tell me to change the o2's, he counld.n't even figure how to email me my tune when it got deleted from my programmer from sending out to be fixed so I had to drive an hour to have him plug it right in to the computer. I think I'm gonna replace all 4 o2's and then I'm taking it somewhere else to get it tuned.
 
The rear might be shut off in the tune.
I would ask before spending the money.

If it was me and was not happy with the tuner, and I was going somewhere else.
I would leave the car as is.

Good luck, it sucks to have it so close, but not close enough.
 
I don't think the rears are shut off because he was having trouble getting the idle and stuff perfect because they're supposedly bad I don't knoe why he didn't just shut them off in the tune, I think I'm just going to replace the fronts with motorcraft and then take it somewhere else to get it tuned once I fix a few problems with my meth kit so hopefully in a week or 2 then I can finally take it to the track. I think I'm also going to cut a hole in the pass. side fender and route my intake in to it so its sucking in cooler air and then I can put a bigger filter on it.
 
I think moving the filter inside the fender will also allow me to move the MAF further away from the meth nozzle and keep it from getting contaminated I think that was one of my problems the last time I got it tuned.
 
Its a good idea to get a rid of the bosh.
Fix your meth, tune once.

He might be trying to tune you to pass local Emissions laws.

So glad we don't have that bullchit here.
 
Mine doesn't have any rear O2 sensors. My Conical air filter is in front of the radiator (behind the silver metal shield) and the first meth injection nozzle is after the MAF but before the supercharger. Sorry this is a old picture before the meth injection. I'll get a new one.

I just took a picture of the Meth hook ups. Hope it helps ?? I know it needs cleaned up. Thats next as soon as it cools of some. There is also a picture of were the boost gauge and air fuel ratio gauge and the meth injection activation light ( little green light under it) were installed in place of the message center. They are angled toward the driver. One of the old rear O2 sensors runs the Air Fuel ratio gauge.

Did you ever get your car dynoed, I want to see what Don Paus car is putting out at the rears wheels so I have a good idea of what I should be putting out since his setup is very similar to mine.
 
Yes I did 306 rwhp after I got the exhaust redone. Just bought a complete 04 cobra rotating assembly with 40k on it with all forged internals so I can turn the boost up from 6psi to 18psi, and I can't wait to see the new results!!! I'll keep you both posted.
