LZY13B build thread

It is in the mid 30s in Sydney atm so that doesn't help but I'll see how it goes and if it doesn't feel right I'll take it back on Friday to get it looked at but I get the feeling I need to buy a TIP to help cos I think that's restricting it a little

I found a noticeable gain when I changed the TIP on phase 2. I didn't change anything else at the time so it was purely the TIP that I was feeling. Wouldn't say it was a massive gain but certainly felt better between 3-5000rpm.

Well after driving it a bit I've noticed more torque over 3k but feels like something is holding it back so a TIP will most likely be next but it felt smoother on stage 1 with just the dump feels like it's running too rich with the 4 bar reg or something :/ I know it's only a 15% increase for stage 2 but was expecting a bit more of a kick and it doesn't fry the tyres in second really so I'm not sure what's going on

not spinning tyres is a good thing you got traction. what tyres are you using?

They are kumo KU19 I believe they are kinda new might be why I have traction lol

[LZY13B]

Ok I've come to the conclusion something isn't right with my car giving it a few hits on my way home it does feel slow and being stage 2 I don't understand why I couldn't even make the tyres spin in second up a hill. When I got the dump put in on stage 1 it felt good had some torque steer hitting full boost quick

It's still hitting 18psi in second and around 19-20psi in 3rd and 4th looking in the bay I can't see anything lose but honestly felt quicker on stage 1

did u order the TIP? i do feel that not having a larger exhaust is holding my tune back but dont under estimate your little car. i did the same and proved myself wrong coming up against cars that should be faster but weren't. HAR8ON and i go on drives nearly every 2nd week you can tag along if your interested and we can take a look at it.

is your tune designed so that you can road test it yourself and add timing with unisettings/lemmiwinks, similar to the custom code phase 2 system or is your ignition timing considered to be at a "don't touch" maximum?

If you can take some o2 sensor logs that would be ideal to see if you are running pig rich. Alternatively a mechanic you might know might be happy to go for a blat around the block with you with an AFR sensor up the tailpipe.

Pull your plugs and see if they are fouled.

[LZY13B]

Haven't ordered the TIP yet but soon just spent 3k on the car and just had rego turn up for the rx7 so trying to control myself a bit haha
And I can't play with the tune myself it's a revo stage 2 might call the shop and have him take it for a spin and sus it out but honestly it's only really felt this way since I put the 4 bar reg in so I believe it is running rich or just the standard TIP is holding it back

If you have a registered version of VCDS Lite or get hold of ME7 Logger, go log it.

ME7 is much more powerful than VCDS for logging and is worth the time setting up. Plus it's free. That will help clarify what's going.

Don't go fiddling with lemmiwinks or unisettings until it's logged.

[sambb]

oh yeah when I mentioned lemmiwinks I wasn't suggesting that you could fiddle your way out of a problem using it - just thought maybe your tune is done in a way that expects you to go and road tune it, and that maybe the source of your problem is that it feels flat and turd because you haven't gotten any timing into it yet. Worth asking the revo people on that one.

[LZY13B]

Well I just ordered a TIP so that will turn up in a few weeks and I'm sure that will be fun to install haha and it is a recommended upgrade for the revo stage 2 so if no good after that it's back to the shop to get looked at but I do get the feeling it's not getting enough air hence why it feels like it's running rich so hopefully the TIP will give me the power I'm looking for

[seangti]

Do you also have the larger air intake, PD160 or pod or something? The stock one is also restrictive, I noticed a nice little gain (more so smoother delivery than a gain as such) going with the PD160 on stage 1 tune.

[LZY13B]

Yes I have the PD160 installed and cut out that flap but no pod just a k&n pan filter but sure if I wanna go pod filter but wouldn't mind the induction noise lol

[LZY13B]

No matter what I do I can get second gear to fry reving it till 5k but no luck. Spoke to the guy who tuned my car and suggested maybe the over sized 3" dump pipe is why I've lost the power down low and don't really feel the good power till 4K but I don't see how that is possible seeing as when I first got the dump installed on stage 1 it was pulling harder and quicker than ever and It was frying and was fighting some torque steer lol

Only really felt the power loss since I put the 4 bar reg on other than that can't really think of anything else unless anyone else has some ideas on what could be causing the problem? He said he can look at he tune for me but I need to wait around 2 weeks till I have some time to go might go over he car tomorrow and see if I can find anything loose but it's really starting to annoy me

[sambb]

where in sydney are you. flick me a PM. I'm going to be out in sydneys south west tomorrow. You'd have to come to me, can't guarantee anything 'cos I'll be working but I might be able to fit in some logs.
