hey matt are you going againt this weekend? checkmate is gonna try to hit the 1/4 this weekend

 

heres a pic from Sunday....I'll try and get Corey's vid of both runs up tonight as well after I get his camcorder

 

turn the radio off, haha. All that drag from the antennae.

 

GXE POWA!!! Its a fixed mast! ROFL

 

get the 10

 

Is it really fixed mast? Both of my GXEs had power antennae.

 

So when's the roll cage going in?

 

Great run, cannot wait to see the full vid! Maybe I missed something while reading, but what exactly did that Mustang guy say? Great job again, engine sounds beautiful.

 

Mine a 96 Gxe and has a power antennae

 

I want more vids , were are the vids

 

hurry you ricer..

 

He's out of town, hense all the DC post-whoring. Congradulations on the run! Why don't you bring that beast out to Frederick on Saturday. Paul and I are throwing a mini-mod meet. Tilley might be there with his 3.5 4th gen (not the 3.2...yet...). Some day I want to see you two line up and run just to shut up that announcer at MIR!

 

Corey locked all his doors so I can't "break in" to his house like I usually do I might try to swing by there tonight and grab the video before I got out and see if I can catch his girl to let me in.

 

damn those are some wicked times... i cant see the video anymore i guess they took it off or something.... congrats on everything mardigras

 

im heading up to capitol raceway in MD tomorrow night. You should gimme a call.

 

Any plans to go back to the track before the year ends?

 

I dont think I will make it again. The tunning issue with the JWT ECU needs to be worked out first. Only having 10 degrees of ignition advance is hurting the power very bad, and EGTs are through the roof I'm sure. Im working on the 90mm lightning MAF set up for next season. 11.4 is a great way to close the season.

 

let a 100 pound girl drive it and maybe she can get it in the 10s...

 

girls cant drive

 

I've got 6 chicks in the Chattanooga area that can whoooop your ars in the twisties. And they all have huge hoo haas.

 

Girls give FWD's better weight distribution, hence they "handle" better.

 

that thing is kinda big.. i wish i could afford one

 

yes, 11.4 is great way to end the season. that is an awesome e/t matt ! if you need anything let me know.

 

Sorry for the late chim in, but congrats Mardi. I hope you get that JWT tune figured out with them....it could come in handy for me. I was supposed to get Jim some timing info but my tranny took a crap and now the car is probably done for the season.

 

I will be ditching the JWT ECU set up over the winter and more than likley going standalone.

 

Have you thought about the Ultimate E-manage (forgive me if someone already asked that)? When they get their heads out of their @sses and DO add the VQ30 to their list, though.

 

Yes, but true standalone will be so much better. Two step revlimit. Seperate timing maps that automatically switch for alch/water injection and nitrous. Fine tuning of maps based on IAT and EGT. Traction control (maybe). Knock control. Map tuning based on wide band O2 (EU does this too). Boost control.

What a pain the install and tuning will be, but the result will be awesome!

 

whatcha think about going with, V-Con pro? AEM?

 

^^^ I was going to suggest the same thing (V-Con)
But what rout are you going to go Mardi?

 

yeh inquiring minds want to know, lol.

 

More than likely EMS.

 

F-Con V Pro is what you mean to say I think.

 

its really hard to find someone that can tune f-con being that hks only gives the software to dealers that attend their $3k school. i personally know a great aem tuner down here if not the best on the east coast.

yes HKS one.

 

EU can do the launch control, seperate timing maps that switch for whatever reason, individual cylinder ignition/fuel map, acceleration ignition/fuel map, vehicle speed adjustment map, IAT adjustment map, water temp adjustment map, AFR target feedback map(w/WB02 added input), eliminate the MAF for a boost sensor, control aux devices(boost control maybe?), control external relays, directly modify injector pulse width to control HUGE injectors, and hopefully soon the ability to increase the rev-limiter and advance timing once the VQ30 crank signal is added.

Standalones are better in many areas, however the EU can do more then even you need for far less money($450? vs. $1300+?) and definitely less install/tuning effort. With your JWT ECU and J&S, you already have the timing retard and increased rev-limiter taken care of. All you need is the timing advance, however with FI and N20, is that really needed? You could take care of that with a JWT race gas program until the EU update, if that's really a concern.

Standalones are great for bragging that you have one. IMHO, todays piggybacks like the VPro, EU, Unichip, SMTx, UTEC, etc. bridge the gap between your basic AFCs and standalones so well, you really have to just WANT a standalone to justify the cost/setup/tuning.

Just my .02 that you don't need one for a street car, but please show us what you can do with a standalone.

 

Alex, not that I dont beleive you but please point me to the info on the EU @ Step, Seperate Timing Maps etc. I had no idea.

 

Sure...I had a feeling you haven't been keeping up. The EU can do A LOT more the Blue version. Check this out: http://www.mohdparts.com/emanage/ult...res/index.html

Most of it is visible in the software you download from here to try out:

Ignition Cut Feature - With the installation of a switch (in the “ON” position), ignition can be cut at a set RPM point



The launch control uses the ignition cut method. Basically, you set the throttle position and cut RPM, and once the EU picks up forward speed via the VSS, it goes stops cutting.


Toggle Switch (Dip) - 2 independent setting can now be stored and accessed via the “Toggle Switch.” 2 separate maps for the “Injection Adjustment Map” and the “Ignition Map.” (For Rotary engines, 2 separate “Primary and Secondary Injector Maps” and “Leading & Trailing Ignition Maps.”) i.e. one program for “street” and one for “race track”.


The toggle switch is basic method, however with the MSS the EU can adjust ignition timing when the MSS activates the optional output, ie N20, per the manual.

I think the MAF elimination, map tracing ability, and WB02 feedback tuning alone would be more then enough reason to spend the $450-$550.

 

man thats some good stuff, will this work alongside the J&S if so i think im gonna check into it mon

 

Yes, however you may or may not need to have John@J&S mod the load resistors to not cause a CEL.

 

thanks i'll give him a call, if he ever answers his phone. i have been waiting patiently for some sort if engine management that i can work on myself
i dont have much support where im at. i ran 12's with just the jwt so i know with proper management i can squeeze another second or two out of her with out blowing.
