dandan Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Sorry to hear the news Dean. What boost, fuel and afr's were you running? We're you in the 12's repeatedly while mapping on pump fuel? Any idea what you're egt's were doing or what timing you had at that point? Lastly what fuel rail and setup are you running other than the 650's?

I thought he meant he wanted to run a 12sec 1/4 But the AFR's would be interesting reading if you can get the datalogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right Alex - I read it too quick! What else has has happened to cars Dan has been mapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 With all the monitoring going on whilst being mapped, it should not have gone pop as a result of detonation. If that was the cause, I'd not be best pleased with the mapper for pushing it too far. I have been very careful about who works on my car after paying well over the odds with my R32 GTR a couple of years ago and Dan has a great reputation on hear and in the tuning world thats why I used him, but nothing surprises me anymore and I will be asking some questions tomorrow when I have calmed down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vvteye Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Feel for you mate... including the damage it does to your aspiratons and wallet. As you probably know I can totally empathise with you and the sinking feeling in your guts takes a long time to go. As I keep saying the the missus... ultimately the money isn't the issue... it's being without the supra and the smiles it brings which is the killer. Chin up mate...

tooquicktostop Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Really? Well I have been ripped off before and have paid over the odds for work also so I used this forum to make a choice on who was going to do the work on my car, 7 months ago TF and Dan were getting so much praise and compliments and everyone I asked said yes to there work, I have never seen anyone speak of poor tuning from Dan, maybe I just missed that thread ??

Alex Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 PM me with the details Darryl. As you know, I am thinking of going single and really need some recommendations as to who can tune my car. Thinking, emanage ultimate / AEM. AEM - speak to Wez's mapper he's done a fine job (you'll have to ask Wez for details). Also, Ryan G seems to have done a nice job on Homer's (fingers crossed) but has said he's not done AEM's before. EMU - IanC. To put the kit on; Pheonix, Envy or Chris Wilson.

Exactly what fuelling mods did you have in place when it let go and do you know what boost, afr, ign timing and octane was at the time?

dangerous brain Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Dan assumes and says as much that your entire engine system is all in order before he starts tuning your car. Its up to you to ensure your mods are correct and up to the task. Also on any given modded engine you asking for trouble at some point. Some let go some don't. I remember a period of time when when both thor and whiffi had a spate of blow ups on the dyno. The common denominator was in fact the aem ecu. Not very re-assuring when I myself am running same ecu lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
