Im curious as the what my gains will be over the basemap, im running 10.9-11.2AFR full throttle lol a little rich, ive been contemplationg putting the 3.8 on :mbiggrin:

Im guessing you make 203whp before and 221whp after. You better run 13's with that charger.

I baselined with the race kit, k-pro, all my bolt-ons, and the base map at like 187whp. Once the tune was done I was at 220whp and have been there ever since.

hell yea man! im rooming at the roadway inn, you know, the one that always has baller ass party's lol last year like 7 cops told us to take the beer pong indoors lol and that our grill wasnt aloud in the parking lot :( But 10psi on the 3.8? damn im hitting 5.5-6 on the 4". 10psi sounds like there's a little restriction in there somewhere? do you have a race header or a shorty? CAI or SRI?

I hope you make it. Jerseyjew is a tiny AF guy though. I bet he doesn't weight over 165lbs.

The car only had the rear seats out, nothing more. The drag radials are definitely needed. A part out of my car is gonna be happening soon. My needs and hobbies have changed so I am looking for a truck. The EP will be going completely back to stock (thank god I saved all of the parts). I have tons of stuff, so keep your eyes peeled in the classifieds section for my part out thread.

Yeah it did feel completely different...lol. The thing is that the tune included all my part throttle driving as well. When my tuner was done, the car felt amazing and my gas mileage was better than it was stock......as long as I did not floor the throttle everywhere....lol.

haha i cant wait now. but hey how many pounds are you hitting and what are your mods? i have the INJEN CAI (old wrap around the battery style), Kiddracing RH, and HKS exhaust, so i know the setup is fairly free flowing, but on my boost gauge (i dataloged it a week or so ago and it said between 5.5-6.5psi) im having trouble seeing 6psi on the boost gauge, and when it does hit 6, it's at like 6400-6500rpms all the way to 7700. my belt isnt slipping, but it's got me kinda worried something is wrong, im on the 4.0" pulley running on the basemap with a CEL on, but i know that wont affect boost as it's an RPM dependant process. Anyone care to dip in with advice?

03-29-2010, 08:43 PM
not that i know a whole lot about boost, but i never really thought boost gauges were that accurate. i thought they could be off up to like 1.5 psi or so depending???

04EP3Hatch
03-30-2010, 04:03 AM
they can be off up to that amount, but mine was fairly accurate, i was just curious as to why am i hitting peak so high in the rpms?

Yeah it is a sad thought, but I just really need a truck and there is no reason to keep the EP because it would never get used. I will still be trolling around the boards and will definitely lend all the knowledge I have picked up over the years to other members. Two weekends from now I am going to start ripping everything off and taking pictures. I just realized how much stuff I have sitting around. It should be a pretty lengthy for sale thread.
