atekido Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 torque showed a maximum boost of 17 psi which I think is what it should peak at? Everything seems to be running well and strong. 13k miles on it. couldn't find any indications of leaks or anything. happy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atekido Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 How has your unleashed tune been? i plan to get a tune on this thing in the next few weeks is there really any difference between Unleashed and livernoise (sure i misspelled that) or basically just personal preference?

Nick Halstead Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Unleashed is a tad slower at the track, but I have zero complaints. I like the SCT X4 over the mycal, cause the X4 can be used as a gauge layout also. Tune is def the way to go. I've been driving around on stock file for about a month now and I feel like I would lose to a 3cylinder geo metro in a race.

atekido Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 haha! yea i was already looking at the intake and what not before it got dark trying to figure out how its all piped. the stock airbox is a horrible design for smooth airflow and I am guessing its like pulling air from right under the hood ni that little gap area?

atekido Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Yep you mentioned exactly what I was seeing I could see light around the hood latch area from that tube. and you are not lying I have never seen such a horrible design Especially for FI. multiple hard 90 degree turns. Honey combing inside the top of the airbox which causes air turbulence. I guess the Edge just isn't a big enough money maker in the aftermarket world for companies to make anything. I have been trying to figure out on the vaccar sema edge what the guy did about the air sensor in the top of the removed airbox or if he just never actually drives the thing and just made it look pretty for show and didn't even re-hook that back in somewhere.

The sensor was hooked up underneath, Aaron has since demodded the Sema Edge and it's for sale or finally sold at a local orlando dealership 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
