Boost Gets U Laid eh? Count me In

[cali yaris]

average of 14 for idle and cruising, 12's for regular acceleration, 11.5-12 for WOT.

Sounds like you are a too rich if you're hitting 10's.

to run water temp, do i run this off water into the turbo or water out of the turbo?

neither. You want block water temp.

[yaris2010RS]

so far changed my mind about water temp (having a hell of a time getting a water line to the turbo so no point imo) and i didnt end up running a oil gauge (there is no way im running a live oil line into my car and not enough room at the stock oil sensor to put the electric one), currently running with only boost gauge and afr gauge.

yeah i was thinking 10 was WAY too rich, ill try with a more refind tune, thanks for the numbers garm.

any idea about the P0101?

MAF clamping needs to be set because of what you have already stated...too much air flowing passed the sensor causing it to trip out. Since you are using the F/IC perhaps I can see about sending you my MAF map with the understanding that you are in a different climate/altitude, etc from be (Maine) and that anything you do with it is at your own risk. I am just getting tuned this week myself finally. Been running off the stock ECU only for 14k miles/8 months.

As for boost, I would start with 6/7 and verify whether or not you are going lean at the top of your curve. I am seeing that and therefore will be installing an aftermarket fuel pump most likely with a modified fuel rail and return in the next couple months.

(very annoying step to have one guy hold it from under the car and one guy hold it from above)

the turbo was pushing 6psi to start so i played with the waste gate thingy and preloaded it more so currently im pushing 9psi and all is well. im probably gonna lower the boost a bit, think 9psi might be a bit high for a DD

tuning im looking greatly at the afr, i wanna make sure my engine is safe (again as it is my DD) and its jumping around alot, at a safe limit when i punch it (afr gauge says 10.0) and when im accelerating normally its around 11.6-12.5 and when im cruzing (with cruze control on) it jumps up to 13.6-
15.0, this seems off to me. do these numbers sound right? or atleast safe?

I'm not a tuner, but I can tell you the mass air flow volume code is most likely because the MAF voltage is being maxed out. It needs to be clamped in the tune. Roughly 5~7psi maxes it out.

I would run an oil pressure gauge if I was you. It saved me when I had an oil pressure problem. There's more than enough room it the stock location to put a sensor in, I did.

[cali yaris]

(there is no way im running a live oil line into my car and not enough room at the stock oil sensor to put the electric one),

Yeah, this just isn't true, it's where mine is installed. You know you replace the stock one with the one for the gauge, right? You don't use two sensors, in other words.

[yaris2010RS]

the shop i went to had a massive electric sender unit, also the adapter i have for my oil feed line (the split from the stock senser unit) uses metric thread on the end (where the stock sensor needs to go back) and imperial thread on the sides. i was told that shop and most shops in the area can only get imperial thread, not the metric ones.

a new code i seem to be getting (after i stalled) was P0335 CrankShaft Position Sensor A circuit. was this just caused from the engine stalling or could be sign of a serious issue? i didnt write down the freeze frame data on this code but i remember the TPS to be at 0% and engine rpm at 1160.

[cali yaris]

I don't get why you still need the stock oil pressure sensor. Just replace it.

[yaris2010RS]

dont get me wrong i completely agree with you, and if i could find one with the same threads as the stock one i would.

Any reason why you can't swap out for an NPT fitting?

This could be a sign that your Boomslang is suffering from the same incorrect wiring that mine and a few others had. I can't recall as I am going on 2 hrs sleep in over 48 hrs right now, but it is either set to tap or intercept currently (possibly) and it should be tap I believe otherwise you will have issues. CTScott would be a great resource to PM to talk to about it. He went through my entire Bslang wire by wire to test/confirm proper termination and soldering, etc. He found several bad points and fixed them for me. He is an electrical genius if you haven't already been made aware of it and a great contributor to the community. Always willing to help.

Not saying that this is your issue for sure, but it a path to investigate.

[yaris2010RS]

i suppose i could, would just be a matter of finding one

ive read about this issue but i find it odd then that i've only gotten it twice, its not a common issue. only thing i can see possible is the connection in the harness is loose

[yaris2010RS]

Has anyone crashed their AEM FIC yet? lol, i ran into a very strange error when trying to connect my pc and it told me i had to reflash it....gay now i need to start all over again. tuning is such a PIA

I had the same issue when I first installed the boomslang and FIC . The code appeared once and the never again until I sent my FIC back to AEM then the code came back once I reinstalled. I cleared it and havent seen it in 4 months.

[cali yaris]

I think mainly the issue with the Boomslang is re-used stock pins coming out that had to be re-inserted, more that than actual incorrect wiring.

[thebarber]

boomslang harnesses are often crappily done...

[yaris2010RS]

^thats silly considering its a almost $500 harness......

but if it was a bad wiring job it would throw the P0335 code always, ive only gotten it twice. wondering if its a loose connection.....

would some di-electric grease on the connectors be a bad idea or a good preventitive measure?
