I got a question for you guys that have tuned the itb with the map sensor.
I noticed when I was driving on the road, I had to be very gentle on the throttle (can't move it too suddenly). All the pedal movements had to be gradual. When I suddenly open up the throttle, the engine just BOGS!
I think I have to mess with the Accel settings but not exactly sure how to tune it. What kind of settings are you guys using for that?
Or do you just have to be easy on the gas?
Oh btw, at the moment, I'm on entirely stock exhaust and AEM EMS.

...and in direct answer to your last question, I'm NEVER easy on the gas

BAD GAS?
Usual I take some Pepto Bismol or something
I'm noticing that when I just stomp on the gas (large dTPS), I get a lean spike until everything settles down again.
I'm just wondering what accel settings everyone was using to combat that lean spike cause I'm pretty sure it occurs for all ITB guys.

Thats the weird thing.
At full load say for 4000 rpm, the AFR is bang on at 13.3 when its accerating from say 2000rpm upwards.
If I'm at 4000 rpm low throttle and all of a sudden I stab the throttle all the way in, it'll bog.

Alright, I did a bit of tuning in my driveway and I seem to have helped the bogging problem a little bit.
If you guys are at idle and all of a sudden stomp it to 100% throttle, do you get a lean spike which tapers down after?
Right now thats what I'm still dealing with. I think on the road, it should be much better but I haven't had a change to test it out yet.

oh cool, yeah for fuel that's what you need... but for the rest yeah it is included, vacuum block, tps, map sensor adapter, etc. you just need to be creative when installing it. hopefully you order the kit with the throttle linkage. if not, you have to make your own mount to fit the stock cable or use the new cable which is additional work.
also when you order the kit, it comes with the jenvey foam filter which doesnt fit... he does have a screen filter though to filter big particles.... it goes in between the tb and the horns, i have em.
