that fast'n'furious hijacking of my RBs didn't work out that great...USPS/CanadaPost is da bomb!

They even delivered with a completely f*ed up postal code that was for a different city in Ontario, no duty no brokerage fees...USPS/CanadaPost FTMFW!

Something to the effect of running just 13.5psi and unintentionally defecating. It was a brief text from a few hours ago. I haven't heard from him since. I'm sure he'll update soon....

Anxious to see some results and dyno graphs on the RB + Procede combo!

Ya......I was communicating with him a few hours ago and then poof he was gone.

Roads in his area are clear of snow now but a little damp still from yesterday's storm.

He certainly would not be able to go WOT in lower gears without significant traction loss.

But I'm sure he's out tasting the goods like a kid in a candy store.

Maybe he got up to 88mph so fast that he went back in time

anonemouse · 02-04-2011, 01:48 PM

dzenno, did you have to adjust anything in the Procede settings due to the wastegates, or everything just worked fine.

Thanks,

A.

jpsimon · 02-04-2011, 02:11 PM

Wastegate settings autotune like the other stuff, works great!

enrita · 02-04-2011, 02:11 PM

yeah even at 13.5 - 14 psi pump the car is a monster with fully upgraded turbos

no need to adjust anything with the procede. Car will run great straight away , its not a JB.....

adrean8j · 02-04-2011, 02:41 PM

DZenno is it possible to give a list rundown of your dyno's numbers from stock to now? With each bolt/add-on annotated? Would be kinda cool to see in a outline/timeline format!

dzenno · 02-04-2011, 02:43 PM

Alright everyone, the verdict is in!

These "things", don't know if I should call them turbos as to not insult them when compared to stockers, are just NUTS! I drove around on stock boost for 2 days and can't say I felt much of a difference from stockers other than no dropoff in power to redline...anyone thinking about warranty or if they'll be noticed, they won't...

Yesterday evening around 7PM I came across a stretch of road that was decently dry but speed limit was let's just say VERY low

its a small sideroad, no traffic from either side so sort of safe of traffic and cops ... Switched to map1 on 1/21 firmware so 13.5psi boost only!...Launching was just stupid and just left me spinning ALL THE WAY THROUGH

Next I rolled to about 40km/h, 2nd gear eased into it...WOT...ZERO traction, car was everywhere...next I was on the highway, again very few cars around and I found a stretch of a very long offramp...shifted down into 3rd at around 70km/hr...WOT, spinning instantly...went to about 85km/hr, ease into it then WOT spinning

At this point I was like WTF is this 13.5psi!!! Back around onto the highway, get to the offramp, now 4th gear at 4k rpm hit it and by the time the car was at around 4500rpm, honestly don't know exactly, the car lost traction and this made almost made me shit my pants! At this point I just freaked out and GAVE UP!

Sent Shiv that message, went home and got some relax warm tea hahaha

'nuff said for now...I have one single wussy datalog from this morning on stock boost, procede valet mode, but that doesn't tell much at all...

Hopefully I'll find some time this evening to do a few pulls and get some real datalogs...

Rob Beck, you've created a monster!! THANK YOU!
