We miss the Tumbler
Hmm never thought of it that way. Though to me I dont think the gains would be there just for lower IATQuote:

Haha I'll take her for a rise off and snap a night photo when I get off of work tonight ^_^

Thank you sir!

This will take me a while to read every page
Could of hit that HDR-ish filter on the crapple =P
Looks good man. For your tune, wouldn't you want to keep your AFR closer to 12's for torque? Maybe it's more of a preference lol.
I still need to bug you for some more getup and go for my daily 2.4L
So far I bumped timing up by 3 between 3krpms and 5.5krpms between 60 and 100 load (put 10k miles on it since). Didn't really notice much on the butt-dyno but makes me feel better. I could use some guidance for NA power!
I think it dries on the fenders first because its sloped way more then the hood.
Glad to hear Tumbler is still going, cant wait to see whats up next
i hate the hdr on the iphone. ugh. so over saturated.Quote:

Also more timing wont do much without less fuel saturation and more air going in for a cleaner burn.
That totally makes sense! hah never stopped and thought about it.Quote:

Drove her to and from work, last tank I got 405 miles lololol

Still stealthy
Looking good Marc, when is that beech gettin some window tint? also could you please post a video of inside the car of you stomping the gas, get the cluster in the vid.
Looks good my man! Whoa whoa whoa! You're getting 405 to the tank on a boosted SOHC 4g64????? That's fucking awesome!!!
Thanks man! I'm planning the tint as soon as it decides not to be an ice box around here haha. That video is a good idea.Quote:

Jeez! Really? She must be rich as hell. I think worst I got was 230 when it was just boosted and not tuned
It's more because of my driving style I think. And I mostly did city driving at the time. I went to go visit my siblings in school 3 hours away and I got like 330 to the tank. But there were a few 80-120 pulls on the highway. Haha.
Haha yeah I am pretty docile driving around and am doing a combo of city/highway. Mostly highway though that's why. With a few low gear pulls of course.
Wait tumbler is still auto?

Yup! Haha. I kinda like it for the time being
^Womp womp lol
I hope I don't jinx by asking this, but how is the auto holding. I had to rebuild mine shortly after taking ownership..I didn't even have a maf adapter+filter yet iirc lol. But then again I wasnt given any records of prior tranny maintenance.
Haha! It will eventually get swapped!Quote:

That's can happen with an auto...but you might end up breaking something.Quote:

Lets not forget the non exist ant boost drop on shifts. I drop 2 psi mid shift lmao. And I have wheel spin when boost hits at low speeds. I was amazed the drivetrain loss didn't completely eliminate that
Usually there a difference in WHP between autos and manuals but torque remains, the most part, about the same between the two as the torque converter...converting torque from the engine to get the vehicle moving. That's what robs WHP, the torque converter but it can gain some of it back by using a smaller diameter and/or lighter weight converter.
But your car behaves like its positive displacement charged!
Yep I had thoughts of going to a lighter converter when I had her open bit I said eff it haha. Honestly this car is as fast/faster than Ivory boosted and manual tranny. I'm quite pleased
Don't talk down to Ivory like that!!! =P
Haha! Oh I'm not. Ivory was a beast! I've just gotten better at modding/tuning. Makes me freak out cause Ivory would be retarded fast by now
Haha, I wish I knew what I was doing for tuning =/ ivory would be so fast, you're right. I sure do miss her looks with the new style jdm skirts.
Tuning is a pain in the ass at first till you get the hang of it. Once passed the learning curve it's fun shifting your power and where you want it and getting your car to do certain things. And I miss her ass too :( it's ok tumbler will get there eventually
build the auto. few vr4's drivers have had success with that. makes for a very quick car
and get some 245/40/17 semi slicks and gloss black *insert your fav wheel* asap!
I'm gonna go with the plan I had for ivory. The looker set of 18" wheels. Then a track setup that's 17".
Lolol hit a bump and my speedo stopped working. I think the vss kicked the bucket. Gotta pull one from the yard. However this is after I got home from work.

That is at 360 miles for this tank so far. I will hit 400 again. My lean burn tune works nicely. Afr's are at 15.1 at idle and cruise.
