dayton EVO,

I want to clear something up so the guys over at AMS don't get any wrong ideas about what took place. I did bust your ***** for living in Ohio and not running our parts vs. running theirs. You explained to me that the reason you used their parts over ours was we required a buy-in for you shop and they did not. At that point the ball busting I was giving you stopped. I like and get along with the guys very well at AMS so the ball busting was more out of curiousity with you being "right down the road" from us than anything else.

I also said they build great parts and that the low power your car made did not make sense that the car was making as little power as it was.

You asked why we didn't extend the same 4 hour tuning window to you that we did the car that was there before you. Well the reason was the car before you was an EVO9 that takes 19 minutes per reflash that also had some problems. We had no choice in the matter and now have seperate days for Subaru's and EVO9's on our dyno days to keep these seperate.

If I remember correctly I talked you out of upgrading anything else, like the AMS manual boost controller that was suggested to be removed, because from what I was reading on the dyno graph said that you had no boost leaks and that AMS manual controller was doing a fine job. I didn't feel then or now that there was anything further to trouble shoot on the car or we would have. The power was just on the low side.

Sorry you didn't go away with a great experience.

Al I believe it was my evo you were referring to. You guys swapped the Forge BOV onto my car and found my stock BOV wasn't the culprit of my boost leaking.

 

I understand and appreciate the apology, but I take offense to some of the things that occured like the throwing the melted dyno strap and clamp in front of me(which was not my fault) and saying what you did. I can joke and have fun as well, and if I'm comfortable with someone I get get pretty raw. But I don't know you, so therefore I don't know if your serious when you say things. I like your business and would like to keep it that way. As for the power issues, I was not made to understand what was going on other than the little comments you made. My total time on the dyno was I believe 15 minutes and 20 seconds to be exact and 4 runs(5:30:09 PM - 5:45:11 PM). So forgive me if I thought the 1 hour alotted time that I paid for was not utilized to figure this out. I'll remember this if there is a next time and hopefully no bad blood now. I am hardcore businessman and I take my money and my business very seriously when comes to things like this. The car actually belongs to my brother, whom I did him a favor by ordering and installing the parts through my company since I bought him the car.
So all in all, we will see how the car really performs as soon we get it to the track.

Thanks David

 

Here is what I was talking about in the last page or so.. See the attached picture.. I think no matter what if I don't get a front motor mount I'm just going to keep tearing couplers.

 

Yeah...that's not good. Are you sure you've done everything you can with adjusting the FMIC brackets and shimming them in different places. Mine was off too but I got it about spot on with a rubber mallet and a handful of washers. Another thing you might want to do is cut out a section of the pipe welded to the core and add another coupler so that there is more flex in the whole tube. Another thing you could try is using your old turbo outlet pipe since someone else said it still fit the 9 turbo. Maybe the angle would be better?

 

wow that is pretty bad. I had a similar issue a couple of months ago. I removed the fmic, and lower pipe and reinstalled everything and it came out perfect. time consuming, but well worth the peace of mind. I believe alot of the problem lies with the licp...

 

our gas gauge isnt the most accurate, i have seen mine sit for a long time then drop very fastly after, sorry but there is pretty much no way you have gotten 200 milles on less than half a tank, your gauge is off..

 

justchil,

Can you do me a favor? Pull the FMIC off the car and send it to us. I am going to modify it so it is like our new Deluxe FMIC. It will only take me a day and I will return it to you.

If I had a box big enough man I would. It would be cool to get it modified to how the new ones are so I can upgrade to the race FMIC and sell this one easily.

I'm trying to pound on it some to get the pipe moved back just a little bit but it isn't working like I thought. I will try to find a box today/tomorrow and ship it up to you. I'll probably end up breaking it if I keep trying to make it fit

 

Please send it to me, the EVO9 turbo outlet we supply will not work with the old Deluxe FMIC's that have the one piece lower. I'll gladly fix it.

If I run 14 gallons of fuel, and have ran it within a gallon or so left and verify my mileage, who are you to correct me. I know my gas mileage.

Sorry, but you are wrong about my gas mileage. My gauge is very accurate. I average 150 miles + in the city from a half of a tank of fuel and about 180-185 from the highway. After the parts and tune from AMS, I was getting about 200 miles with less than half a tank(highway mileage that is and ALMOST on the half tank mark). Just leave it at that and don't try to tell me my gauge is off. I keep very accurate mileage logs. Besides, the subject has been resolved.

Have a nice day

well congrats on being the only person on the forum that gets 33 miles per gallon

 

I got 27mpg today no problem. That's pretty damn good considering only half was highway and it's not exactly flat here. This was pretty normal driving with probably a half dozen put it to the floor til redline incidents

 

who's car is this with what mods? ive never seen a dyno like this. doesnt even look like a 4g63t to me. unless it had a boost leak or something? im confused.

see how the power just falls instead of climbing after like 4600 or what ever. the torque seems normal stock turbo style(really high tho) but ive never seen HP drop after such low rpm.
