A Stratified Journey

[Tifosi42]

Ok sorry for the delay, life is busy. I have had the CS TMIC and updated Stage 2 Flash tune on for about 300 miles now and the car is running well. The LTFT seem to stick between -2.3 to 0 when cruising around and at about -5.0 at idle. The car does seem to pull harder longer without the restriction of the stock intercooler. I am definitely enjoying the car at this point and cannot believe the difference between the stock car and the point that I am at now.

I have attached several data logs with varying ambient temperatures if anyone is interested. I am seeing a little knock, although still less than 2.0 degrees timing, with 90 degree ambients, but I guess this is to be expected with only 93 octane fuel. I am pondering the use of meth injection for cooling purposes only at this point, but don't really see a need for it yet.

The next step as far as power goes for me will be a CPE catted down pipe and a full etune. It will probably be fall or next spring until that occurs however. I would really like to at that point get on a dyno just too see what the car is making at the wheels, especially to show my Honda buddy my stock turbo speed is making more torque than his big turbo Integra.

I would again like to thank @Lex; and Stratified for a great flash tune and I look forward to continuing my Stratified journey in the future.

Looks great and it looks like the flash tune pretty much maximizes your power potential on your current modifications and fuel. I recommend either WMI or E85 as a next step.
