i make cvt cooler kits for the cvt's haha. sorry datalogs are only available to owners by requests only.

if you can keep the cvt temp low & slow it down from heating up too fast it'll be useful but if it keeps going up, no matter how good the tune or boost it makes it's useless. we know it here because it's summer weather at this part of the world all year round. Maybe for short bursts is ok but if running it longer the power will go down no need dyno the driver will feel it for sure.

all the tunes are as per dynochart or probably slightly lower settings for track but they're proven & tested from street to touge runs & the circuit track too.

you can see some data here too via TunerView by @Linszter ;)

Not sure why you wouldnā€™t wanna share CVT temp info with the community but whatever. Tbh your dyno charts donā€™t look too different from base map charts. None of them are smooth. Thanks for the input

share your actual dyno chart here, not all dyno will or able to produce the same exact results. it can be very beautiful & smooth with some editing such as smoothing or cf or manipulated to show high numbers well not gonna go all over it maybe you know better.

Owners choice not mine anyone can share anything they want such as your post sharing your mods here with everyone. Sharing is caring heh.

Any way youā€™d wanna share the datalog? Interested in CVT temps while this is taking place
AFAIK, its not common for tuners to start sharing dyno charts or datalogs of other customer's vehicles without expressed consent of the owner.

I know Drob doesn't do so and even asks you along with the form you need to sign off on when you go get tuned with him. All those dyno charts he posts are posted with the consent of the owner.

How did the stealership know you were tuned? Can they see if itā€™s been flashed to stock? If they canā€™t I might as well stay with the stock turbo till warranty expires on mine.

From my understanding they canā€™t see an actual flash count but they can tell if it has been flashed
Likely maxed out fuel system. I have a similar experience until swapping in a Si Intake cam.
So I think Iā€™m overdue for a valve adjustment, while I got the head off I was thinking about doing this myself. What was your experience with this?

You actually need the head and cams in place to do the valve lash adjustment. It's typically right before you seal up the valvecover. You'll do each cylinders valves with each 90Ā° rotation of the crank. The service manual will lay out out in detail for specifics.

Thanks, but I was talking about the cam swap itself, I canā€™t seem to find much info on it. Itā€™s a direct fit? Should I follow torque specs for the SI? Any links would be super helpful
