Headers are in: a couple of questions!

Taskmaster · 08-28-2015, 04:31 PM

As the title says, car currently has OE tune for 3 stage manifold, my mechanic has said that the idle is kind of choppy at first is that normal? Says it's a lope every 10 secs or so...

EDIT: Reset the adaptations and the car seems to be running well though it did lope on me once for a few seconds.

Anyone run headers BEFORE and AFTER the tune? Big difference?

Retarded amounts torque, makes you and the car feel lazy.

I'll tell you in a few!

Awesome. It's absolutely awesome.
I have video, revs quick, pulls hard and has plent of torque. Wonder what the header specific tune is like.

Oh and the idle is solid too.

Benny Lane · 08-28-2015, 08:45 PM

The header specific tune is amazing.

yeah resetting adaptations should take care of it all though mine worked its way out with time. It really felt like it was going to die in the middle of traffic for a while but i'd raise the revs with the pedal and it would smooth out immediately. Strange but hasn't happened in a long time.

I want to buy the retune for 100 bucks and dyno...but I also want to AA tune. What should I do?

Taskmaster · 08-28-2015, 09:40 PM

Also, too poor to do either at this moment. Hasn't been the cheapest of projects.

I'll try and see if they can fit me in, otherwise I was going to dyno the "retune" they send and my current map together.

Taskmaster · 08-29-2015, 09:01 PM

Anyone run headers pre tune/after tune? Increase in torque?

Probably minimal.

You'll see better top end power as the A/F is "fixed"
