richmod

Post by Duke of Cruel » Sun May 29, 2011 10:11 am

Hey guys and gals,

I have recently bought an pruen box, and it drives, and the boos is there, but it runs like its on base ignition. So i took the box apart, and the ignition part was clipped out. Is this normal, or have i been fucked?

In your last PM to me yesterday, you wrote
"works really nice."
What has changed since then?
It worked beautifully for me in my 1993 auto. I had a dyno chart showing it producing 140 BHP at the wheels, estimated 170 at the flywheel.
Maybe a blue one is not correct for your car after all.

There's no "ignition part" in the EZ210K but for a small transistor amplifying the signal from the microcontroller so what has been clipped out? I hardly believe this complain is to be taken seriously.

Sounds good. Its easier to manually adjust the ignition then.

Yes the boost was nice, but after a long drive, it just didnt felt like it had a mapped ignition. And it didnt. So i asked somebody who knew, to be sure before i complainted about it.
