Pashen Gets Edited

[Mr Turbo]

Glad you are enjoying the car Dave!

The high torque reading is due to the stall converter and torque multiplication!

Can't wait to see how it goes at the track! bring on the 11s...

We kept the tune at a safe level as Dave still has std internals however there is alot more potential there..we did make more power but pulled it back a lttle.

I am intrestesd to know if any of you guys have looked at fitting engine oil coolers?

Welcome to the site Boys good to see your here...

Well done Dave good pwr and nicely set up for the street with all that low down grunt and 99% of the time that's were you need it (if you get traction)

Hi all,

As some of my close friends here know, PASHEN has been running like sh*t for the last few months.  It's been surging, stalling, turning off at the lights, overboosting, not starting first time etc etc.  This was the main reason it didn't sell, I believe. Prospective buyers weren't too impressed when it stalled and the turned off at the lights, trust me. But until I sold my home, I couldn't do anything about it, even though I desperately needed to.

I took PASHEN to HPF a week ago.  I just picked her up tonight.  When I arrived at HPF last week, the brief was to fix those drivability issues.  Also, while they're working on it - give PASHEN a better spread of power in the low-mid range.  Not so much more power, just more of it earlier on and a more even spread. 

Here's one of my graphs.  I'll have to post the other two (incl the GEEA + PASHEN comparison) when I receive it from HPF.  This was on my 19's...and shows my before set-up (with my PHASE unichip ) to my after (PHASE 3 hardware with EDIT).  Ignore the RWKW (as dyno's are just a tuning tool...lol), but observe the before and after difference.  PASHEN was an APS PHASE 3, tuned to 310rwkw on 17's before this.  Will post more graphs when I get them.

On the road, the result and difference is AWESOME.  Feels like a different car altogether.  All the problems I was experiencing are GONE.  This in itself was worth the $.  BUt under hard accelerating, the power is everywhere..straight away...damn its hard to describe...it now feels angry and has MUCH more urgency than before.  Heavy throttle just burns them up so easily its not funny...and stays burning rubbber until I ease up.  Even with my 275 mm rubber, traction is a real problem now.

The Rev limiter is now set at 6500, with power increasing up to 6300rpm.  The APS exhaust sounds SO damn hot at above 6000rpm.  Boost remains the same -  15-16psi max.  that's the same boost levels I had before, but look at the difference.  Trust me, the NEW PASHEN would leave the old one 5-6 car lengths behind at a traffic light drag....as long as I have traction.

I couldn't be happier.  I felt that the whole forum should know about this.  With a highly modded T like mine, with bigger everything, and provided its installed and CUSTOM tuned by a tuner who knows their stuff, the EDIT is THE way to go without a question. HPF know their stuff.  They are now my tuner of choice and PASHEN will be seeing them for every service and upgrade from now on.

I still can't believe the difference on the road...and this is what its all about for me.  Charts, rwkw, etc are all bullsh*t if the car doesn't go hard and is drivable.  PASHEN now goes MUCH harder, but now drives and behaves like a stocker off the factory assembly line.  What was initially an emergency fix for a major drivability and reliability problem, has become not only that, but has  transformed my car in the process.

Well Dave what can I say.... Congrats!!!

The issues you were encountering were identical to mine, and your objective the same. Better driveability with power through the whole range, which has obviously been achieved.

It hard to describe to people the difference in the car and you have tried to represent your feelings and experiences the same way I have. It's hard to describe unless you have actually experienced what you are on about, which a few of us now are.

Dave I am really happy that the car has come back exceeding your expectations, I am glad that the research that I conducted with HPF is now benefiting others.

I am sure like me you have now got a new lease of life on your car, and after all the frustrations of the driveability issues you now have reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

I would really love to catch up with you and go for a spin in Phasen. Prehaps a good excuse to get the boys together.

Congrats again mate, and good on Rob at HPF for producing another finely tuned T!

[RAPHOON]

Fantastic result!

I'm particularly impressed with the mid range improvements over your previous tune. This would transform the way the car feels in the REAL world.

Now, of to calder you go to give Craig some hurry up.......

Good to see something going right Pashen

Brian I believe that Dave has a 2800rpm high stall (Correct me if I am wrong Dave) and that this would be what is causing the torque multiplication you see early in the dyno graph.

Thanks Dean, that makes sense and puts it in perspective.

Well done Dave. Glad you're happy with the results.

On a side note, Dave and Dean how does the high stall effect driving around town? Is it more sluggish and does it tend to use more fuel?

[Lawsy]

Well done Dave. Glad you're happy with the results.

Yeah, high stalls will always use more fuel around town, but drivability is actually still pretty good, from what high stall cars I've been around anyway (one being a 4500rpm stall, on a hemi).

I have a similar high stall. I don't think it affects fuel economy much if at all. On my recent trip up north I was averaging 10.5/100km's measured physically. Not sure around town as it depends on my mood. It doesn't make the car sluggish either. My stall is only 2700-2800rpm, I can launch at the track at 2750 but on the road I am unable to stall it up past 2200rpm without causing wheel spin.

Geea.

[PASHEN]

I think mine's a 2800 or 2900 stall. Anyone else with a Yarra Valley Auto please confirm? Mine could be even higher though (up to 3500...apparently my box was specially built) but Nizpro wont answer my questions as I'm having problems with them.

Yeah, it uses more fuel Steve...at least in city driving. Haven't noticed a difference on the highway. Driving around town is affected only slightly. Its more of a case the car feeling like its begging to be opened up and the throttle nailed now, more than before the stall.

I'd recommend you get one mate. You'll notice a difference, especially at your power levels.
