It works well, along with the FFS. just upload your current map and it will throw on FFS and LC.

i use 3200 for my LC so far, but havent had warm enough conditions for it to work without roasting the tires.

I tried searching, is there a thread that explains how-to log properly?

I do have Abilor's guide downloaded but I wont get to read it till after school...is there anything in there about how-to log?

[Mr Wilson]

4th gear 2500 rpm to redline.

Click to start give it a second and then floor it all the way through. Don't lift, try to find as straight and flat a road as possible.

[joedemarco]

shift 3----->4 and WOT to redline. (sorry, I just want to make sure I understand the details)

okay...I should be getting my hands on an AP soon enough, if all goes well with the job I have lined up.

AND a member is parting out his car, and offered to trade me my OEM exhaust for his TurboXS straight up...I know its not the COBB I'm dying for but I'm stoked to finally get a CBE!!!:thumbsup

[Mr Wilson]

4th gear, zero shifting. Start at 2500 rpm about 60kph and give'r

[Fack_Dude]

I missed the post....lol Best way to do a log is drop to 4th gear at 2000rpm and then hit the ap button and slam on the gas peddle all way done and hold it to 6500 rpm. Then slow down to a respectable speed and then hit the ap button again. And there you go!

[joedemarco]

And turn off DSC when doing logs, there's a way to completely disable it on gen1. With gen2, all I need to do is press it once

[Impressive]

If you guys are hitting near redline when you log, how fast does that mean you're actually traveling by the time you get up there in 4th gear?

[fywdyl]

Do you really think someone's gonna post that on a public forum?

[Impressive]

I'm just curious as to how you could do that...It's probably a stupid question, but going onto an onramp and doing a 3rd gear pull doesn't seem too ridiculous.

All logs are done on a closed course in Mexico.

I know where the DSC button is on my car...but what exactly is it?? What does it do??

to turn it off I just have to hold it and the light indicator on the cluster comes on (im assuming thats off).

what benefit is there to disabling it altogether?

[Elusivellama]

Exactly 100km/h on the highway, no more, no less.

[alhope34]

Try launching hard with it on and then off (with some wheel spin) and do a hard shift into second before the rpm drops from first (to get it to chirp into second) with it on and off as well and you will understand why it's best to turn dsc off for anything but cruise control highway driving.

I did a 4th gear pull today on my way to school on the highway...then a white charger with lights (off) came up behind me in a hurry, I thought I was toast. Turns out it was a EMS car, never seen one of these before.

When I get my AP I dont think I will be logging alone, I'm going to have someone cruise up ahead and give me the ok before I get myself into trouble.

why don't you scope out the area first to make sure it's clear before you decide to do a pull.

Like I said before in a thread that was closed.

End of 410 North before Valleywood is the best

... there was a reason why that thread was closed....

[rzapata]

Just a thought, if people want to share info about where they do their pulls/logs, send a text/PM or something private. We don't want anybody getting into trouble plus this can easily be used as a police tool to track down street racers.

-Mods can delete this post once everybody had a chance to read it-

[joedemarco]

why don't you scope out the area first to make sure it's clear before you decide to do a pull.

I did...but the ramp that I did it on you cant see traffic coming up behind you, its very resistricted, but you can see out in front of you all the way. It was a one time thing, just wanted to see what I had to do before, during after a pull, I even simulated pressing the AP button as a measure of timing.

looking for ward.

I probably wont do any more on the hwy though, I know better places.

[Booostin]

I think highway is best because the road is usually perfectly flat whereas doing it up North is bumpy as hell and in turn more dangerous at higher speeds.

[MajesticBlueNTO]

you don't have to press the button right before the run... with the old resolution, the AP could log 10 hours worth....let's say 5 hours with the greater logging rate.

so, all you'd really need to do is start the log, go for a few runs, download csv file off AP, open in your favourite spreadsheet program, search for WOT (99.06 was what i searched for)... copy pasta those cells into a new spreadsheet, analyze run(s).

Everyone with a speed3 rips it so dont gimme this bs lol

[loki]

you both need to stop talking about which roads you guys are going to log on

there's a PM function. use it.

simulate using the PM function instead of simulating pressing a button on a device that you do not have in your possession.

[Fobio]

Because posting about logging and potentially speeding is so cool. So much cooler than actually posting a log and subsequent dyno showing inferior horsepower…and then not being able to do a damn thing about it…

[S.F.W.]

For those who do not understand, consider this an official TM3 administration statement:
Do not post on TM3 about where to log, or how fast you are traveling when you log. If you want to have those discussions, use the pm feature or come to a meet and discuss in person .
Further posts of similar nature will be treated like posts about street racing, they will be deleted, and warnings handed out.

We will basically formalize the MSpeed offerings thru APH...

Like dyno tuning that emulates street tuning...to address a lot of the noise floating around on this thread lately.

Great news Vince. Nice to hear we will be able to tune safer now...

Could someone with the corksport TIP measure the outside diameter for the metal tube the MAF housing connects to?

Or the inside diameter to the silicone connecting the two.

I need to find some silicone to fit and my car isn't at work with me... Thanks!

the corksport TIP is very narrow. I had to rig a piece of rubber around it from my old turbo inlet just to get my Cobb Sri to fit on it

[loki]

f**** this thread gives me a headache somedays....

Snot, that coupler doesn't look like it will work on the corksport TIP. diameter is too large. I think the corksport diam. is 2 inches (possibly less)

I was reading the mod-path by MSpeed and I am thinking I should replace my spark plugs since #1 I dont know when they were changed last and #2 ive since put 20,000km from day of purchase...so I think I am going to go ahead and change them...doesnt hurt right?

My issue is, and I searched it, I dont know what stage (is that right?) of spark plug I should go with. I know Denso is the brand to go with...I am currently running a COBB SRI, and getting a TIH in the next week (if that makes a difference). If someone could provide a link to a "how to pick spark plugs" page, it would be appreciated.

[Thrizzl3]

would you also consider a compression test to see the health of your engine at the same time?

[joedemarco]

yes sir...I am in the process of setting one up. Does the results of the CT have an effect on which spark plugs to use?

sorry, Im slowly trying to educate myself...

[Thrizzl3]

compression test shows whether or not the piston rings are sealing properly or if they are on their way out. i know your speed is high milage so it wouldn't hurt too see the status of your motor

[joedemarco]

OHHHH..thats what you were getting at... Yes you are absolutely right, test to follow next week.

Any opinion for spark plugs?

well unless you are upping power i would stick with stock plugs..if you are looking to up the boost and power...1 step colder plugs would benefit your car. Denso ITV22.

ok. I plan on going stage 1 after getting my AP and TIH and readin Abilor's guide...Im thinking 1. wait till then or 2. get stock plugs and upgrade later??!! at $50-75 a set...#2 is looking really stupid...

well if the compression test said that something needed to be done then yes I would fix the problem...I would always fix the problem...but something like changing internals before I know that anything is even wrong with it I wont do...I'm not even at stage 0...so I'm going off the basis that since I'm still stock and *assuming everything is in working order then I wont do the internals before I get the AP to monitor whats actually going on.

But I dont know yet that I have an issue with the internals hence my decision to get the AP before internals...make sense or am I looking at this the wrong way?

Sir...I will be bothering you next week, I am coming by for a compression test lol. And we need to talk about your Michael...but later!

[BlueStreak]

Spark plug recommendation is generally made on a rule of thumb basis and in some ways, is a black art. The best way to determine what plug to run is to put the car on the dyno, swap plugs and optimize the tune for each plug to determine which plug combo makes more power.

The overriding rule of thumb is to run the hottest plug you can get away with that maximizes power. Maximizing power takes into account detonation that may arise from running too hot a plug.

Plug selection is highly correlated to combustion chamber temperatures and not necessarily how much power you are making. If you were to have a setup that could make 400whp on E85, I would bet stock heat plugs would be the way to go. However, most people making big power run 2 step colder since they are primarily on pump with a bit of meth.

tl;dr. If you decide to go straight to one step colder plugs now, it wouldn't hold you back. The car will run fine.

[joedemarco]

Thats great!

Thanks for the help Dave.

[SomeGuy]

Ugh, rear suspension is creaking and I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like swapping back in the stock RSB before I take it to the dealer...someone come do it for me.

[standsideways]

Why swap it back in...its likely your spring perch creaking.

[SomeGuy]

Hahah it's actually the RSB....lowered the car back onto its own weight without the RSB and it was silent. Go figure...guess I'll swap the new collars that corksport shipped in and clean the bushings out and regrease fully. See how it goes...

[standsideways]

You really gotta grease those bitches up good :)

[SomeGuy]

You really gotta grease those bitches up good :)

I had greased them up this year...in any case, cleaning them up entirely (ie taking them right apart) before regreasing got rid of my creaking problem. However after putting it all back together, on very uneven driveways and such I now have a metal on metal clunk sound when the rear goes over the bump :( Checked and made sure everything was tight but still there. Seems though on just regular roads and even with aggressive cornering there isn't any noise...any ideas?

Check the stabilizer links for play

End links? All solid, I've triple checked both the bolts that are at the sway bar as well as the top bolts where they attach to the control arms.

Are you using aftermarket heim joint links?

Nope, everything else is stock suspension.

Fack... I just realized that when I calibrated my MAF, I only did it for MAF Table A... I didn't copy the values over to MAF Table B. Time for new calibrations, or can I just load the map from my AP, copy the values, then flash it back?

For example... I would not neuter the load tables by setting them all at 2.5 load, instead, I'd change them to about +0.05 of what I log as calc load.

Ok guys hopefully you can help.. So when I installed the RMM and had it up on jacks I noticed my front driver side dunlop was wearing out on the inside so that leads me to believe my front camber is off most likely due to hitting a pothole recently. The reason I say recently is when the tires went on about a month ago they were all in good condition.

So I had an appointment at Mazda this morning and well they will not do the alignment due to the car being lowered..(That story is for another day). They also said they wouldn't recommend doing the alignment until I replace the front tire.

I am hoping that one of you guys might have an oem set lying around for the 2010's that you are willing to sell one tire (or donate :chuckle) as I don't want to spend the money on a new one because next year all 4 will need to be changed.

Any suggestions would be great

The wear on the inside of the tire is most likely due to excessive toe, not camber.

^^^Agreed. Which dealer?

I know Dave Wood does a great job on alignments if wanting to stay the dealer route.

So, after driving the car one day after an OCC install (with a bunch of WOT pulls) and letting it sit overnight, I check the hoses to the OCC and to the PCV nipple and the intake manifold nipple. Everything looks tight and nothing is leaking.

http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/Elusivellama/e6f064c4.jpg

Both hoses zip tied to a large radiator hose.
http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab96/Elusivellama/6149c75f.jpg


Question, it's normal to see some of the black oil crap pooled at the very bottom of the curve in the top hose, right? (the hose which runs from the green PCV nipple down and by the oil filter then back up to the top nozzle on the catch can). In the pic below, the clear hose in the foreground is the hose running from the IM to the bottom nozzle of the OCC, directly in the middle of the pic you can just make out a portion of the top hose with some black crap in it)
