the lean-ness of the tune i sent you guys was due to my amazeing leaky RFL-BOV
it totally died on me friday night, so i used the wonderful light of a walmart parking lot to pull teh BOV off, re-shim the spring and assemble things back together. thats when i found it it wasent going 100% closed, and leaking boosted air before the maf.
fun.......rite?
heres a snipit of todays fun
its a bit hard to see, but i'm out of maf in 2nd and 8% away in 3rd.....
its time for yet another maf re-tune....see if i cant squeeze some more out of it up top.
my "use maf to avoid IDC jump" tuning is shown in the cyl airmass calc for reference.

the IDC spike i used to have, once i bumped the MAF across the board and dropped the commanded PE the spike went away...its got to be related to a PE event trigger past a specific amount.
the maf readings are maxed at 11.1K hrz and 58lb/min in 2nd...and an average of sayyyyyy 8% lower in 3rd.
my re-tune will hopefully lead to a little more room to work with up top....if not, then i'm in for a bitch of a time...tuning a car with no table to support.

Wait a minute, you guys are both using RFL BOV's? You know I love you guys (no homo), but WTF are you thinking! Everyone knows RFL stands for Really ******* Leaky!
Paul, that Tial 50mm should be quite a nice upgrade then. I had a shitty ebay one on my Integra I got for free for short period of time until I scored a nice gay purple real Greddy Type-S. That BOV is way better than the old leaky POS one I had.
Also, when was the last time you cleaned your MAF Paul? Just curious, as that CRC MAF cleaner is the ****! It solved my reading problem I had with when I was tuning the twinscrew. A clean MAF is a happy MAF I guess.

And yes, the RFL must go for sure! Congrats once again on the numbers though! I loved the video of everyone in there shouting cheering at the 411whp!
I've been walking around the shop here all afternoon bragging about your car even to people not even interested in cars! I also called home and bragged about it to my family! My uncle thought that was awesome by the way!

Trix has whcihever one is the gay purple color one lol... but **** sounds pretty damn nice, and he has like 0 lag..... but still got nothing on the top end power of a 60-1.... (sorry mike had to toss that in)

I swear I was 110% gung-ho on doing a turbo swap as soon as I got back until Mase fixed the twinscrew and started giving me updates on it again! Now I don't know what I'm going to do! I will however still take the snout and blower case off you hands when you have a chance. I know you're busy and probably tired as **** from being up all night, so take your time there. It will have to be shipped to my house anyway as I found out we have no TIG capabilities here which will prevent me from working on it anyhow.

ah ok man... Ill hopefully get a chance to pick that up for you this week and hit you up with a shipping quote. I got one gutted out already, and one that just blew up a few weeks ago.
yeah his setup is nice man, i like how his car runs alot.... once I get my car more dialed in, I'll be even happier lol

They are indeed Really ******* Loud.If I decide it's going to be a turbo for the car in the end, I'll either be getting another Type-S or the Tial. Both are quite nice.
By the way, what did you use for the belt since the blower was removed. I don't think I remember that.
