sorry about the pic size i dont know what the hell im doing when im resizing these

 

Looking good man. Now lets see what this beast can do with some slicks in the 1/4mi. Oh and your welcome for the boost. -Paul.

ps. pretty good air/fuel curve

 

is that apexi avcr a good boost controller?

One of the best. Also one of the most expensive and one of the most difficult to learn how to use.

Rather than me blab on about it, I'm going to submit an excerpt from an article on the AVC-R:

"Some key functions include: RPM-based boost and solenoid duty cycle control, scramble boost, self learning mode, 2D ghost map trace mode, analog display mode, real time replay and peak hold data modes. The AVC-R utilizes an ultra-fast microprocessor and a high quality solenoid valve to control boost. The result is ultra-fast response and accurate, stable boost control. Due to the complexity of this product, A'PEX recommends having the AVC-R and other A'PEX electronics installed and tuned by authorized A'PEX Power Excel Shops. "

A few things this does not mention are the fact that it can monitor your injector pulse width and aside from RPM controlled boost, you can have gear based boost.

 

how many lb are you running?? is the car tuned yet?

 

it is tuned and its at 7psi

 

stupid question

what are VAFC and AVCR and how much do good one's cost?

 

vafc=vtec airflow converter avcr= actuator valve controller type r or boost controller

 

way to go

 

i was surprised at how realitvly flat the fuel curve is
