Default Re: Project Crossfire - a Rotrex Supercharged Limited!

I found the wiring issue that was keeping my IC pump from working, but went ahead with going back to the stock ECU. Done!

In the end, having the star das was the thing I was missing previously and having been there done that, I actually think using the NA ECU will be the best thing to do all the way around. It will definitely help other people save money and wiring changes to go the FI route.

So I am now back on the stock NA ECU and cruising just fine. I also made a couple of tweaks, cleaned up some previous wiring boo boos, and got the Star Das working to make the necessary changes. For now, I disable the EGR system because it leaks boost and I have it physically blocked off. However, I have a plan for something to address the issue. The disabled EGRs the only real thing keeping my setup from being technically "legal".

As soon as I find some time, I'll squeeze in some tuning runs and start working with my restrictor to limit top end boost. I want to see what kind of power I can make with a solid 13 psi and map out my game plan from there. Especially now that my flow is what is should be, what reads on my boost gauge should start translating to power closer to my math.
