Good and bad times at the dyno today

[blmlozz]

Well I'm currently sitting at the dyno, car made some nice numbers, 276/347 on only a giac-x dynojet. The bad part? After the guy takes it off the dyno and parks it he turns the car off without letting it cooldown! I didn't know that of course since I would assume he knew to let it run a minuite side tree were about 20 other turbo cars there with me. So I get back to the car and guess what? It dosent run! Surprise! The car cranks and starts but dies immediatly after. It's a 01 a box with a 'remanufacuted 1k ago' Bosch maf. I have somone otw so I can switch my old h box back in and see if it's the maf.. Anyoe else have any ideas? I thought about blown turbos but the car would idle at least right?

New thought: the wiring for the maf looks good but it's just some terminal connectors and not the o.e. Plug so mabye letting it sit heatsoaked the connections and killed one of the wires? Thoughts?

car started right up when I swaped in my Stock ecu and hitachi maf.. I'm hoping it was my shi**y wiring on the bosch and not a dead maf after I bought it less than a week ago.

I would say say swap back the a box back in and see if your hitachi maf works with that. Also if you have a volt meter, see if u can check the resistance of both mafs to make sure that both are in working condition.

I dont see why a maf would fail right away after a hard run. Either a wire wiggled lose or something stupid. See if you have any codes with the 1st maf in.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt its his fault, and doubt that its anything to major..

Your car would start with your turbos completely gone. So its not that.

WOW, the car picked up 100+whp just on a chip. Has nothing to do with the shop or the way they shut the car off

that's what I'm thinking, I'll have a real o.e. Bosch plug Monday so I'll find out for sure when it's not ghetto rigged. I still feel good about 276hp and 346 torque, I was the 3rd highest car there except for two evo viii's and a Sti, two of which I made more torque than anyway so I'll have something to gloat about for a couple of days :). When I get home tonight I'll try to post a picture of the printout, from the look of it I have alot to be gained from a full exhaust

those are good numbers for a chip! I still have been too lazy to get mine on a dyno but its because Ill be disappointed with this altitude and I need a cheap remap which is like an oxymoron, there isnt such a thing!

Honestly you may want to check your IC hoses or TB boot, that is the symptoms I had when I blew mine off after a hard run.

turned out that the ghetto rigged electrical connections to the MAF melted or shorted out and the car wouldn't run because of it.. Runs just fine now on the bosch MAF after I got an OE plug for it. Thanks for the input though.
