Me+22psi=confused Porsche driver

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Making my way down the entire state of Florida traveling from Jacksonville down to the Keys to visit back home and party out on boats for the 4th. Left after work and the drive was pretty quiet until around Ft. Lauderdale. A 996 Porsche Carrera came blazing by in the car pool lane so I gave chase. He saw me come up on him and switched a few lanes and got on it so I dropped down and showed him who was boss. We did a bunch of bursts up to around 160 and did some spirited driving for about 7 or 8 miles. It was fun and passed a little time. I tried to take a video with my phone toward the end but we got in to traffic so no more open roads. He came up next to me twice giving a bunch of thumbs up so I guess he enjoyed himself haha. To bad I am still at only 22psi due to running my stock fuel pump since I need a new banjo bolt for the new pump or things would have got ugly with me at 28psi.

And Audi FTW!

[eldoA4]

f yeah. good times.

[A4 Moda]

ShowOff. I like it

[DonnieDark0]

thats effin awesome dude. good work!!!!

i smoked a 350 z twice and he was rubbin his head not understanding why lol

[HTA A4]

Nice kill. 22psi on a stock pump? Brave soldier

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Finally made it home! Yes 22psi. I was running 16psi but my tune calls for way to rich of mixture so I kept turning it up until it started to lean out and run in the 11s due to what I would assume is pressure drop of the pump and the injectors running at high duty cycle. I keep fowling plugs from the rich mixture since I stopped running 28psi so this is my temporary fix, need that new file bad. It has been this way since I got this Beta file a year ago, but I never ran low boost so never experienced the rich issue. Apparently I always had a fuel pump issue causing a pressure drop therefore making the injectors max out to try and keep up and I could never meet my requested target a/f of 10.6 and even richer at times in the upper rpms but instead would run high 11s in the upper rpms even though requested was down in the 10s, I guess it was a good thing in a way because running rich sucks.

David, even after your fucking retarded thread last month I still like you. Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.

Ahh ok. My E-Code file targets 11.7 A/F and I've never seen it go above that even on 28psi so far.

[jalcom1]

It's great to surprise people with the A4. I walked a Z4 yesterday and I could tell he wasn't happy. :-)

[Trev]

Good kill

Dam you BAT guys! Story's like this make me want to go BAT so bad

I miss my built 4G63

hes using a rising rate on a returnless file. Totally different

[SleeperAvant]

Haha, I walked on a 350z, GS430, Boxster S, E36 M3, 540i and another A4 lol.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Those all are a complete waste of time, the Porsche was actually fun since I wasn't running high boost but I could still pull away even at the real high 130+ speeds.

[SleeperAvant]

lol

[FORCE_FED_DUB]

But the ECU should still be able to hit requested AFR. 10.6 seems a bit rich IMO, just throwing fuel at it to keep it in one piece ......but I'm not running a BAT

[onlyaudis]

you drove your car 160MPH on public roads? Someone tell me how is that not insane.

[HTA A4]

Have you ever been to FL? The interstates are all straight as an arrow and so smooth. I wouldn't have a problem doing those kinds of speeds (if you can pay the ticket).

[Hyphy]

^No one said it wasn't.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

It does hit requested if I turn the boost down so I am not outflowing the pump. The injectors run at 100% and the pressure drops since it can't keep up now. At t the lower boost the injectors run way lower duty cycle and the car runs rich as hell so that is why am running it like this. I guess they set the ratio very rich since this was the first ever b6 a4 with a 830cc file. I was supposed to get revisions after doing logs with a Uni rep but had an issue on that day and never got back together with him so never actually got a "good file." Still made over 400whp and trapped 116 on the Gt3076r at 28psi and that was with stock intake manifold and throttle body. Wish I could have got back with a more complete tune and the addition of an intake manifold and bigger throttle body before switching the turbo to see what kind of improvements I would have had.

How? I'm just talking about A/F ratio. Unless you're saying that the A/F should be richer on a rising rate system? But that wouldn't make sense to me...

The key is to know your limits and the constraints of individual situations. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I think enthusiastic drivers are probably some of the safest people on the road; they are more aware of their surroundings, abilities, and limitations. Most crashes are caused by people not paying attention, not speeding.

Thats about the dumbest shit i've ever heard. I'm sorry. My brothers friend and passenger just killed themselves in an STI driving curvy roads becuase they were "enthusiastic drivers" becuase they were "more aware of their surroundings, abilities, and limitations"

Street racing deaths are a small portion of total road deaths. But street racers consist of an infinitesimal percentage of total drivers on the road and have a higher per capita death rate to regular commuters.

apparently they weren't aware of their limitations and misjudged the situation....LOL

Driving enthusiastically, being aware of road conditions and driving like a fvcking dumbshit are 2 different things. If you have ever gone to a track day, they teach you how to learn the limits of your car. It's not hard to drive fast and be safe, someone just needs to tell you where to look, what to look for and what your car can handle. I would be willing to bet the driver in the accident was driving too fast for the road and his car and thought he could negotiate a turn that he couldn't.

At these track days, you have class sessions and parking lot drill sessions then you get to go on the track. In the parking lot you learn to keep your eyes ahead at all times, even during turns and you will naturally drive to where you're looking. You do braking drills, so you know how hard you can brake before you engage your ABS. You learn how to throttle steer, etc. You become a safer driver on the street because of the things you learn about driving your car.

like your signature says FORCE FED DUB. . .

Don't get me wrong, I love going fast and getting that addrenaline rush doing it, but you never know what could happen. I got hit while riding my bike. A guy pulled into his driveway when he didn't see me. Put me inthe hospital for 2 days. 100% his fault when all was said and done, there was nothing that i could have done, other than not ride my bike.

Anything can happen. And if you are doing 130MPH, anything comes ALOT faster. . .

[BNZ TOY]

Good kill

Dam you BAT guys! Story's like this make me want to go BAT so bad

I miss my built 4G63

you and me both man...

x3 ^^^ my 4G63T was insane fast... in a straight line... lol... no AWD :-(

I don't disagree with you, I just find it silly that people get so upset about speed in all situations. Of course going 130MPH through traffic is stupid and reckless, but an empty stretch of highway, like on my last road trip through the desert, is a relatively safe place to wind 'er out.

[jalcom1]

I had cars and motorocycles pass me like I was standing still when I lived in Germany and I normally drove +130mph in the no speed limit zones. Germany has a lower rate of fatalites per capita than the US but they drive at much higher speeds. Its not the speeds, its the lack of training and the general lack of intelligence used by our fellow American drivers.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Always gonna be negative Nancys out there that don't know anything about the situation but will have their .02 cents to put in even though half are hipocrits. I am not gonna waste my time talking to much about this. I will say, my car goes 150mph in 4th, and I had to switch to 5th a few times, so guess it was 150+ How you like them apples? I am not a complete idiot, we weren't running through rush hour "in the Ferrari and Jaguar switching 4 lanes top down screaming out money ain't a thing", it was on a 6 lane hwy (6 each way) and relatively late at night and high speeds were done when there was clear road to go fast and on a straight damn road, not around a twisty probably narrow at that road, two COMPLETELY different things.

Exactly, the Autobahn is one of the safest roads in the world and has the highest speeds driven on it. Speed don't mean shit, doing stupid things does, like the popular RS4 vs M5 doing some SERIOUS bobbing and weaving video on youtube, that is stupid and where the Debbie downers should reserve their comments for.

so um...wanna race up hwy 9

haha

Yes! We still need to go for a ride.

I95 FTW

Looked at his post again. Agreed 10.6 is very rich. I know when I switched though, my target AFR is spot on but the boost comes on so fast, that the injectors just dump fuel and AFR goes into the 9s. It's not the ECUs fault because it doesn't know its coming.

How? I'm just talking about A/F ratio. Unless you're saying that the A/F should be richer on a rising rate system? But that wouldn't make sense to me...

True, read post above about what I meant
