It sounds like you've been through a lot with this car, kudos to you for hanging in there and getting it done. Sometimes if you want something done right you have to put in the time and headaches yourself to get stuff done. No one else is gonna wanna take the TIME to figure somebodies aftermarket issues/bugs. I'm glad you figured it out
Now can we please get some videos so that we can enjoy it too!
Car is still running good. Been doing some datalogging and something came up. As soon as I hit around 6lbs of boost or so a couple of my injectors hit way over 100% duty cycle; the other 5 are all around 68-70%. I need to find out what's up before I push this car a lot more. It may be a sign of needing new injectors. I'm going to open a new thread to see if anyone's experienced this. Stay tuned!!!
Are you still using stock injectors? I don't remember.
Nope. I'm using RC440cc injectors. I had them professionally cleaned but they're very old; at least 10yrs old. They came with the kit. Not sure but they may be on their way out.
update bump. been ghost following for a while. have you figured out your injector problem yet?
Hello. Don't think it was ever an injector problem after all. I had the sample rate on the FIC datalogger set at the fastest rate; 10ms. I think it was capturing data too fast for the injectors. I changed the logger sampling rate to 100ms (or 1/10th of a second); this should exclude any incorrect data from being recorded by the logger. I haven't tried it yet. Car still runs great. Waiting for roads to dry up to post some videos.
So any videos ? I'm tired of looking at the same old ones on youtube!
I remember looking through old threads of OG members not posting videos of their SC cars and you were saying the same thing I just did LOL. So I know you feel my need for speed!

I'm working on getting an appointment for a final professional tune. Just got my new rubber installed (BS S-04 Pole Positions). So, as soon as I get a good tune I will post up some awesome videos. I promise.
I can push the car a bit but it's only easing into boost and usually let off at 5lbs; still puts me back into my seat though.
However, I don't fully trust my tune to really get on it. I came so far and don't want to blow my engine. Lol. I tried a few times just mashing the gas at WOT and the car bucked and bogged a bit, too little and too much fuel and probably not a smooth enough fuel/ignition curve. This is why I need a professional dyno tune. The tune I did is safe, very rich, very drivable, no codes now for over 6mos and passed NYS inspection with this so called seemingly impossible FIC piggyback. It works as advertised, as long as it's wired and setup properly. Which took me a very long time to hash out.
I hear you man, you came a long way with this SC set up. I just hope you get it running perfect and YOU not loose any faith on it. Don't mine me I'm just patiently waiting in the back round, so don't forget to update us lol.
