+1 seriously, you’re a little crazy, or you have money to burn. I’m having a hard time believing that setup is good long term over all conditions.
Time will tell I suppose, which is why I decided to move forward to test it. What are your reserves on it? I would like some outside insight on the matter as well.
I’m no expert, but I think the GAIC tune is pushing the car near its safety limits and when it tries to dial back it won’t dial back as much as the GAIC engineers wanted since the CW is overriding and tricking the GAIC tune/ECU. Also add to this the double pulley, where there is more boost available that the tune was designed for, where GAIC probably set the requested boost slightly higher than achievable to utilize all available boost, but now there is actually more boost than expected throwing off calibrations. Then, in some heat soaked conditions with high IAT, I would be worried, there is only so much the ECU will dial back timing from what I’ve read on these forums.
Seems high risk to me if you intend on keeping the car for awhile or are adverse to the cost of large repair bills. Everyone was up in arms when Revo disabled some safety checks, this setup seems like another way to bypass safety checks/limits as well, but then again, I don’t really know enough to know what the car would actually do in bad conditions, but I personally wouldn’t take on the risk to find out. good luck!
Thank you, good and helpful feedback. Yes, I do have my reserves, but I’m persistent on testing it still and doing a lot of logging.
I do plan on running the standard pump file and dial the CW back to a “91” pump mode (literally 4-1 dial on the box) during the summer months with my normal e85/93 mixture to be on the safe side. Its rare that WOT is used, but I see and understand what you mean in regards to the bypass valve; during part throttle applications, yes the bypass valve is closed at “n”+10% currently (meaning that if the GIAC is requesting it to be opened at n=65%, the CW will override n-10% for an actual value of 59%.
