Installed the Standback

[VinnieBeachbum]

Hey all I installed my standback yesterday. I have heard people say it "wakes up" the car. But good lord it must have been in its REM sleep.
Installation was easy, instructions were on point. I soldered everything in.
Kinda sucks cutting that first wire, no going back from there....
Data display is neat too with the computer. You see all the stuff CP-E talked about. Although I don't have anything on A/F wideband. Don't know if I have to get something extra for that.

The spool-up is good. The kick in is very exciting. BÜÜÜÜÜÜSSST.(rofl2)

So if anyone is in the South Eastern Virginia area, that wants this put in for them, give me a shout. I'll do it cheap.

Oh an thank you for all the maps that I got I am bouncing them off of one another seeing what does what. Using my own tune though for you naysayers. AND I will share it once I get it.

[Chris-BE]

Heck yea, congratulations.

PM me or email me if you have questions, maybe I can help. Otherwise, bother Jordan. ;)

[VinnieBeachbum]

yah the CEL keeps coming back. The last time it was a lean condition I need to check to see what it was this time....porbably the same thing. Is it cause I am not in VTA for the CPE tune?

[MississippiSpd6]

Don't forget to change your sig info about the EMS !!! :)

[dadasracecar]

You should only run the VTA tune if you're BOV is set to VTA. If it's in recirc, you should not be running the VTA. I forget what the stock "program setup" parameters are but the VTA settings in the fuel map are -81. In order to go back to normal, change the -81 settings to zero. This important because if you're running the bov in recirc and the standback in VTA, you're causing a fuel cut but still letting the air into the engine. Air and no fuel = lean and dangerous.

[VinnieBeachbum]

thats what i figured but I could not explain that to my wife. I am going to go put it in recirc you said change -81 to 0.

[BoostedSpd6]

hey man congrats on the install... im still waiting for mine to come in... anyway u could do a write up or a how to on this i mean i was going to do it after i put mine in since no one has done a wirte up yet.. just throwing it out there...

[dadasracecar]

thats what i figured but I could not explain that to my wife. I am going to go put it in recirc you said change -81 to 0.

Put it in recirc and use the AAM tune I sent you - if you're stock. The VTA tune is just for that - vent to atmosphere.

[VinnieBeachbum]

sweet thank you!

Ok, so I went to my guy to get tuned today. The time it would take to scale the MAF for the AEM CAI is around 4hrs. If everything was tuned using CPE intake then you are fine. I hope..... 330$ is alot for an intake. CPE gets you in this little damned if you do damned if you don't scenario. So I spent my money on the intake. waiting for that to come in. then I will take it back. My guy told jordan how much he charged and hour and Jordan laughed at him. heh. He is charging me even less than that.

The MAF scaler is there just incase you do not want to change intakes. But the time to tune it would outweigh the cost I believe

dada I will have lots of cool Info for you soon. you and Chris-BE Thanks very much. With those maps I could figure out where to tweak and what not to touch! You guys rock.

[dadasracecar]

Anxiously awaiting your results.

[ssinstaller]

I've got the 3" TBE, FMIC, and X-cel intake....Does anyone have a base map for all the CP-E bolt ons? I'd like to have it here waiting so I have something to tune off of when my standback gets here.

-Chris

[dadasracecar]

MUSOM has that setup and is tuned. PM him. Even if he charges it should be worth it. His tune was done at Altered Atmosphere in Gaithersburg, MD.

Will do, thanks for the info.

I don't get it... do you say that the CP-E Standback comes with maps for their parts ONLY? No base or performance map for non-modified cars? If so, then (notcool)

[WickedMZR]

Following this thread closely. My standback is going in tonight and I've got the AEM. Chris-BE I got the tune from you on the 6 forum but it looks like I will have a lot of work to do. :(

[pHeeL tHiZ ViBe]

hmm..i'm sticking with the Fujita anyways, its an awesome intake.

[VinnieBeachbum]

I am not saying that it won't work at all. But yes they tuned it with their intake. You can tune any intake into the system using the MAF scaler. It just will cost you.

[tru-boost]

the maf will make the fuel trims slightly different between the various intakes. the tunes CP-E give you will not be WAY OFF if you do not have their intake. any dyno shop telling you it would take several hours to adjust for the different maf housing is butt friggin stupid, and should not be tuning cars (or just trying to screw an unsuspecting customer) if they tune the boost, timing, and A/F to be at a aggressive yet safe ratio, you will be fine.
i had a long talk about the standback with some of the guys at CP-E last week. now mine is comming soon !!

[PerfectXtreme]

Did we ever get a thread up about how much the tunes are costing speed6 owners on average? I'll be taking my car in pretty soon and I want to make sure I know wtf i'm doin and whats going on.

I want to be prepared to walk in... get a quote.. and laugh at them as I leave letting them know how fucking stupid they are to expect so much!

I know there are some good shops around who... while they do charge a pretty penny... will do it till its right... I'm not willing to pay someone per hour... to fuck around and mess up over and over... NEVER PAY PER HOUR... that just gives them more of a reason to take longer...

[tru-boost]

all shops i've seen tune ...per hour. just telll them you are not willing to pay for more than 2 hours of dyno time. that is enough time to tweak and dyno at least 10 times. if they cant do it in that much time.. they arent very good at what they do. CP-E spent a lot of time giving us very good base maps. there is not a whole lot for the shop to do.

but they didn't spend alot of time giving us different base maps for the different aftermarket setups available, so that= more dyno time for people who don't have cp-e products like their intake.

[bova80]

Yeah someday when I get the ems I would like to be able to have it tuned for my Fujita intake. So if anyone out there has an ems and Fujita with a map tune, save it cause some of us might need it.

[pHeeL tHiZ ViBe]

i'll have some fujita maps in like...hmm 6 months :(

i don't think that the fujita will cause the fuel trim to be as far off as the other intakes, like the MS one.

[tru-boost]

true aftermarket parts can be tuned to show more power. but having a good base, is a great start. only fuel/timing will need tweaking. its really not hard. i'm thinking of tuning it myself. there is a place by me that rents out their dyno by the hour. they drive it on the rollers, for insurance reasons, but you can tune your own ride ! the only thing stopping me is.... its a mustang dyno. all of my many previous dynos have been on dynojets. plus it was like $75 per hour instead of $150 like most shops want to tune it for you.

ha maybe by then i'll have enough saved up to buy the cpe standback. also i will be modifying my fujita this winter to be short ram.

It basicaly consists of:

- determine the 5 wires in ECU harness to be cut and feed through the SB
- connect 10 wires from SB to the cut ends of those 5 wires
- determine another 5 wires in the ECU harness to be spliced on
- connect 5 wires from SB to these
- connect two wires to chasis ground

That's it - but it sounds easier than it is because of the location of the ECU. ;)

[aTriz]

How long did it take you guys to install the ECU and if you went to get it done somewhere how much did they charge you?

[dadasracecar]

took me like 3 hours but I spent extra time taping everything up so it looked stock.

[forrestang]

It took me probably around 3 hours too.

And it was a PITA just because it's so cramped down there. Definetely remove the seat, my shoulder was killing me afterwards.

[bova80]

is there any problems with taking to the dealer with it in to get the recall done?

[pHeeL tHiZ ViBe]

no they didn't even ask me, they just did it all.

[bova80]

does anyone have a tune for a corksport dual exhaust and intake?

[ZUZOOM]

Has anyone installed the cp-e Standback with the PNP harness??? still showing not in stock. Is it worth waiting for. Not to handy witht he soldering gun. Aslo looking to install the DashHawk and BOV with out a CAI. Any information?
