Hardest part of all






The above is some snap shot of my microtech program for my fuel maps and ignition maps , this are just some snap shot of it , the entire program is too huge to show all.




here is a snapshot of my PLX M500 reading , the a/f ratio is when i was cruising , i leaned it out to almost 14.5 for max fuel effiency but the dips is when i shift gear thats when it is tad bit richer.




Oh This is the single exit exhaust that i installed as well , it's a Corksport Cat-back system, loud but boy was spooling time a lot more shorter. I have some center muffler to quite it down as well but it's still out which always wakes up m y old neighbour. lol


After i got the base map on the microtech to run , i brought it over to the shop to get the problem corrected. $80 later , here is the results.




See this thing and now you know why it scrapes so much.


My inlet intercooler pipe , that small thing is not the radiator but my oil cooler.


here you can see the wrong measurement i took and the fabricator welded it up to my mock up pieces and here is what i got. A buldge from under the bumper cover which is hideous , and since my car is quite low it scrapes a lot when i go over bumps and potholes.

Material that i used was T6061 aluminum piping which doesn't retain much heat and disperse them fast enough to keep my charged air as cool as possible. Screw stainless steel i/c pipings like those used in malaysia man , we talk efficiency here.



Now i understand why it cost so much to do intercooler piping , the amount of measurements and trial and error fitting took me a staggering week because since the car is not running yet i can't tow it to the shop as towing is expensive and just don't want to waste that kinda money.

Here you can see I went from the Greddy 3 core friggin huge intercooler to this pea size intercooler, point to take into consideration for my deicision was spool time. This is a NPR intercooler taken from a Isuzu truck , and you know for a truck how much heat they could generate so if it works for the truck i'm sure it would do better on a sports car. I was right I only lost 0.5psi recorded by my microtech so i just have to use the AVC-R to raise the boost a little back up just to compensate that.
