Vanilla Ice buildup thread....

Hey don't you have compounds to build oke:

Gare once you get the truck dialed in, I'd def call mike at kem.

no.....but matt does. i'm just there for moral support and beers :naughty:

 

[Mwilbur516]

I dont see how response could be much better with mine now. I almost think it has less lag than stock.

There's always room for improvement.

 

[PTSUPERD]

If someone wants to work with me on some ficm tunes there is a benefit to it even with the way I tuned this truck even with larger injectors.

I'll guinea pig...

Now that's the spirit.

Sounds like the truck is running pretty nice. I know I've been impressed with both trucks I've driven with Matt's tunes.

Hope the cast wheel fixes the issue, but three times I've had this issue it ended up being a boost leak that was very hard to find. Very small leaks that caused boost to stop building like it hit a brick wall. One other time I had the same problem that ended up being a fuel pressure issue. Of course my experience with this is on Cummins and 7.3s, not 6.0s.

I would like to get with Bill and offer a specific flash for each nozzle type to get the fuel straight for a little better part throttle experience. Something like his economy flash with some pulsewidth removed from strategic locations.

Sounds good. Let me know if you'd like me to give him a call for you or if I can help out in any way. We're gonna flash my truck with a more custom FICM flash next time I'm at his shop.

This is what I need Matt, I'm in to test for 150% nozzles. I have a gryphon as well so it can be remotely added to my programmer.

One word.... Smokey

 

[java]

I had a 58V FICM tuned by KEM for my 190/100s and it was SMOKEY. I put the factory 48V back in today and it actually has better throttle response and the smoke isn't too bad.

I have 150% nozzles right now JJ lol

Experiencing something similar too,

With the php economy file it smoked way too much on anything over 15% throttle, atlas 40, 80 and hercules were not streetable. Today I flashed my truck to my stock ARZ2AL11 ficm file, paired with my tsd file and its virtually smoke free. I thought I was happy before, I was actually surprised when I leaned into it, its definitely faster on the stock ficm file.

 

[faster6.0]

if 150 nozzles don't smoke, you have the wrong tunes lol.

 

[Mwilbur516]

Question, do these trucks run better on stock files because of the larger injectors and the fact that the FICM tuning is just too much?

 

[Pizza pig]

You mean the RIGHT tunes :swordfight: LOL

it will haze WOT dont get me wrong, but theres something wrong getting 8mpg highway and smoke hazing while going 65mph

Seems that way doesnt it. I'd really hate to sell my gryphon

 

[Extended Power]

I have a 58V FICM that does NOT have any tuning in it, but with the 150% injectors...I can look out the passenger side window with the cruise set at 75 mph and see a black "haze".
Temps are only about 750-900*F unless it smells a hill, then I see 1100*F.

I always have to clean the back 1/4 panel after a 2-3 hour road trip...it's BLACK...

Thats exactly what I experienced until I flashed back to my stock file, I see similar temps now, but less smoke. Of course our setups are far different.

how soon?? i could probably get a php tuner soon and let you have a crack at it?

 

[Gearhead]

I haven't talked to anyone yet and I'm so swamped right now, I haven't even been able to keep up with tunes going out and such.

One thing I learned about boost leaks and something we use as aircraft mechanics is to wrap aluminum foil around joints, just one layer and safety wire ends shut, take aiplane out for high power or in this case take truck out and run to full boost, shut engine down and look for blown out foil, that's your leak point. Just what to pass something on how to find air leaks.

Learn something new everyday. Thanks for sharing. Never thought of doing something like that.
