logs on its way you should get it shortly, thanks

 

[Twinz]

Cool got them. Aaah I see the problem. Hopefully we can sort it soon. If the lambdas are wrongly installed or burnt then it explains the outcome of the logs. Chat tomorrow on the phone.

Check the difference in performance on this vid,both cars running jb4 map2 but the one car is fbo and the other not.

WTF
Time to go FBO!!!

G5 isolated firmware testing begin. Awesome!!! Mod takes 30 minutes in and out and sorted! Holds boost for longer and does not pull or fade boost as quick. Same fuel and settings and my wagon in 3rd gear breaks traction only for a second or so but now it's ridiculous! Great mod quick and easy!

 

[Twinz]

Great news Edz. Keep us posted on this progress. Nice:inlove::joy:

 

[ed_z]

Just received the new isolated G5 board hex files and future use setting will log and send to you.

 

[Twinz]

Cool thanks :thumbs:

He is a great ethanol mix calc for non standard ratios.

We only have E95 here. Use it, don't use it.

Ethanol mix calc

 

[Twinz]

The calc is more useful for the US/EU crowd.

If you have a flex fuel map then start with:
8 Liters 95 ethanol mixed with 12 Liters pump fuel.

See if car behaves well and no error codes.

Then mix 9 Liters 95 ethanol with 11 Liters pump. This seem to be the best mix before you start getting engine error codes.

RichardH and myself have been running ethanol for awhile now and have logged many runs and consulted regularly about out experiences. This is the ideal mix.

However, with this content mix the car will occasionally when its been very cold have a slight hesitant cold start but nothing to be too worried about. Did not experience this with warm weather on cold starts.

Ethanol makes big power. I hope to start a support thread soon with the full range of experiences we had. :thumbs:

i agree. Twinz can you please send me the Hex file for the iso G5. I understand what you meant on the phone.

Hoping to get the Lambdas sorted tom. Is the hex file still in Beta phase?

I want go to the strip soon, if you know what i mean.

 

[Twinz]

Its still alpha. I am also excited about the isolated boost control but will wait another two weeks before I am going to start pestering Terry to include more SA guys in the testing. My suggestion would be, that we wait out the two weeks for the beta version to make its appearance. I will leave my G5 as is for now and wont clip the integrated bridge (for now) until beta is out. Just a suggestion. :thumbs:

 

[ed_z]

Thanks im running all the logs for you guys!:roflol:

 

[Twinz]

Yes, post them up when you have time. So we can see how the new tweaks are delivering. :thumbs:

 

[ed_z]

when i get my wagon back after a boost leak was sorted today.........

 

[bybyM3]

finally sorted out the lambda prob, struggling to get a decent log as i am breaking traction in 3rd gear:rollsmile:

Twinz will send you a log soon.

Cant wait for beta iso G5.

[bybyM3]

ok i just cut the pins and i am proudly ISO G5, hmmm all i can say is the PSS tires are great on the twisties but on the straight the suck:roflol:
maybe its the power.

Dammit iso is brilliant, so predictable and so strong.

 

[Twinz]

Nice. Whats you lag set at? 60 or 100? :joy:

Ive got the bms flash installed today and a brand new complete exhaust system but wont have time to test this weekend...damn have to wait for next week.
