Speedtuning Ecu upgrade questions! - Page 2

no, it's not the basic buzzing, its like a jarring clatter/cackle under boost or sudden vac

I had that stupid buzzing, but then I just set-up a nice brass T and the buzzing went away and then a loud sh!tty noise came a bit later, I think it's just a bad batch that the local autoparts store has...

tomorrow I will put my VDO in and I hope to report silent perfection....I'll let everyone know how it goes

i love how every speedtuning car is running so differently. people are ranging from 8-23 psi, and still no one has dyno'd theirs yet. its a good option if your poor or cheap but just doesn't seem reliable.

also people need to stop saying it $125. its not. that was at first to gain business. with shipping your looking at ~200 and your gona have downtime on your car and your taking a slight risk. a dbc chip from the 3 big companies is only 400 now. its worth the extra money.

you can still buy their tune off of eBay for 125

I sent my spare ecu out, hopefully I end up with an awesome tune....I'll make a 0-60 vid when I get it back, but the closest 4 wheel dyno is about 3 hours away...and I really don't want to make the effort or time to see a 25whp increse...lol


well, everyone cross your fingers and knock on wood!...please!

I'll keep everyone up to date! I should have it back by thursday or friday....

and just to let everyone know, I am on my third defective autometer boost guage (sportcomp II), so I ordered a VDO today and I will get that tomorrow....

just a heads up on autometer, they make some fu<ked up noises!....oh well, if anyone wants a sportcomp II, I'll let it go for $10

do you have an 01?

he has a 98.5, it's below the avatar.
BTW, no noises at all coming from the autometer ultra-lite boost gauge.

^good to know...I think the problem is only with the sportcomp II, I stupidly threw away the box and packing, so all i can do is trade the guage for the exact same guage

I have done the no buzz T, and that killed the buzz, but a much worse sound followed, so I plugged the hole in the back with silicone, hoping that would help, and it did a bit...my guage is lame and innacurate....autometer in my experience has been a bit hit or miss, I am glad yours is working out okay...the one in my car right now is givving me innacurate readings, so I figured I would just go for a VDO guage, which'll be nice since it'll light up red w/ the interior (the one I have in right now lights up white, looks good during the daytime tho)

besides the fact that the face of yours is silver, our guages look identical to me....

are you running an MBC or an N75 race?...kinda worried about spiking w the chip...

I have the same and no problems either.  My only problem is the 20psi limit on mine

^^20 psi and no chip... Shouldnt be too much of a problem!

^sounds like a problem...lol

the autometer I currently have is a 30/30 and the VDO I am gettin is a 25/30...20 is definately a littly low


cincy, aren't you building your 1.8 to a 2.0, or at least going for some new internals and such?...think I remeber you mentioning something about your car in pieces and an eventual t3/t4 maybe?...could be mistaken tho

Yes im currently building a 2.0.  The plans were a t3t4 50trim before the build, but now that i will have a built motor i have decided to go with a gt3082r .63.  Its the same turbin as a gt3071/76 and compressor as a gt35r and gt4082r.  Should make 450whp on pump easy and close to 500whp with w/m injection when all is said and done.  Needless to say i will need ATLEAST 35psi gauge if not 40

oh nice...so it's all built and back in the car?...or is the TT down?

sounds like it is gunna be a monster!...are you fronttrack or quattro?....

35 psi will be nuts!...are you building a sleeper or are you guna be tracking it?

I don't go into the TT forum usually...do you have a build thread over there?

The car is still apart.  I have a fwd car.  Will be somewhat stockish but a drop and wheels.  Its being built for a highway monster and my enjoyment.  There is a build up thread in the TT section but its dead since im having problems with my "builder". 
 
Goal is 2600-2650lbs and 450whp on pump.  Should make a 11sec car on street tires.

that'll be nuts!

I could see you on the freeway downshifting into 3rd and spinnin the tires a bit...lol

11 sec. street car is prolly too much for me, although I can't say that every once and a while I don't wish I had that kind of power

you're gunna have to launch outa second...lol

good stuff man, hope you figure everything out with the builder...bet you miss havin the TT as your DD

Sadly its my only car.  But i will be happy when things are going in the right direction.

man that sux!...do you still sit in the shell and make racecar noises?...lol

well, hopefully your car gets back together soon enough....

so is the motor comletely back together, or is it still in pieces?....a built 2.0 with a stock turbo and the diode mod would be really funny

you think you may go standalone?

what cc file are you guna run with? the ctapp 630?

Mine is sweet, from a 2.8 stand point it really help
 
Kinda seem like my first gear got slower though :huh:

Cincy, im really interested about your build, did you take any pics?

heres the civic rebuild that i did..  so simple..

I dont have any, sorry.  Ill be sure to take some if i have the chance to.

I hate that buzzing.
