CC Stage 2 tune

[Paazuzu]

Cheers mate

I'm wondering if it is the bolts as I just had a look (well as much as you can see from the engine bay) and there is definitely two of them firmly intact. The engine has about an inch of movement back and forth by hand, so I'm now wondering if it's a busted engine mount?

Give me a call Dan.

Have seen a busted dogbane mount do that in the past, but you would also feel some vibration through the car

All sorted now. It was the dogbone bolt nearest the front of the car that gave way and popped out - Gav came to the rescue this arvo.

Heh, whoops, you just changed that bush recently

[Paazuzu]

Doh.

Doh.

And one from me too as the one wielding the tools.

Thought I'd provide a short update now that I've done around 600-700kms with the new tune.

Definitely used to the power now (and want more!!!) and feel a lot more confident when planting the foot. Boost is really linear and not peaky at all - which makes the tune feel like a natural upgrade for the car. Enjoying watching the boost gauge hitting 21 psi

Next steps include getting the seat sport bushes so the car doesn't tram line as much under acceleration and sorting suspension/swaybars too (considering Bilstein B12's...but dunno yet).

Best response so far was when my better half drove the car and told me it felt like the car was going to lift its front wheels when it started boosting

Most surprising is the fuel economy...my 30k mostly highway run to work this morning averaged 6 litres/per 100! Even giving it a bit of a strap last night was only 7.7.

If you are still thinking about a CC tune, I'd recommend doing it.

I am sure you can use less fuel than that mate!

I have some Superpro bushes on the shelf if you fancy going that road. The ones can be set to anti-lift, the same as I have in mine.

Good news. I find the power to be quite peaky (esp in 1st). How much timing do you have dialed in? From memory I have around 8 deg.
I have no idea how you've been managing with the extra power, I have coilies, front and rear sways, front brace and semi-slicks and can break traction in second if the surface isn't great. Most of our power mods are the same
