Flash Box Question

Featured Replies

#1

finally got my flash box and finally got it to work and loaded it on today (10psi tune). I wanted to run it in so the computer could suss it out propperly so I took her for a cruise down the coast tonight. she drives good like normal and 1st n second are all shweet (full boost pulls hard and spools up real narce! but 3rd n 4th, as soon as it hits full boost she misses and gets abit spitty, a mate of mine said he had to regap his sparkplugss to get his to run right with the tune and I was thinking I will probobly have to do that to fix the problem or els I was thinking it might have something to do with my cat back exhaust or the 3inch dosepipe I have coming off the front of the turbo? could it be sucking in just abit much air for her as such speed?

I know its all basic sh*t and its been asked b4 and deep down I know I should just got get it tuned propperly, but all in good time...

any help appreciated???

cheers.

it'd be worth pulling out one of your sparkplugs and having a look, the ground wears away as they're expected to last forever, but they end up increasing the gap as they wear. You'll be able to tell straight away if it's worn.

But as dagabond said, the custom tune will make all the difference.

you will have to re-gap your plugs mate around .7mm should do ya

but as dags said start saving and get the custom tune mate generics are dodgy at best and could end up costing you money in the long run

in the mean time a trip to your local dyno for a run should cost you less than $100 and you can check a few things like plugs,afr's etc :spoton:

gaped the plugs to 0.7 this afternoon like u guys said, and now she goes great, sits on 10psi and just pulls no problems, loves it. on my way home though from the test run a vl turbo raced me, and I dunno how but it won, so I think I have some work to do yet :P.

thanx guys.

never underestimate the vlt's.. they may be an old car but these days there running 270rwkw+ on the streets.. plus you have to think of the weight difference,, a vlt only weighs 1600k
