Full throttle Electric Supercharger Build Thread

A couple questions/comments then:

1: What is the point of super pursuit mode or whatever it's called? I (apparently mistakenly) though it was an on/off for the ESC.

2: I stopped at dad's for just a couple minutes and forgot to disarm the ESC when I turned the car off. When I started back up, I threw three CELs:

U0073 - Network Electrical

P0102 - Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Input

P0113 - Intake Air Temp Circuit High Input

The traction control light (wheels spinning out) was also back on like it was when I first started the car after install.

I disarmed the ESC, turned off the car and cleared the CELs. Restarted and the CELs were gone, as was the traction control. Everything seemed fine after that.

Would starting the car with the ESC already armed cause the CELs?

I haven't had any trouble but if the compressor tried to surge as the car starts that could make the ecu freak out a bit.

Definitely double check all your electrical connections with that electrical error.

I'm wondering if that has something to do with the traction control warning light coming on...

If that's the case you don't need to turn the esc on or off from the voltage display. Just leave it on, and it will shut off automagically.

Sometimes the traction control light will come on for certain cels.

Ok, I'll just leave it armed. Unless it causes the CELs to come back again... LOL.

I'm wondering if arming/disarming maybe one of the issues. Try it for a bit and see what happens.

Except for it's creator, Rob.


Can't wait for the E-85. It's going to be AWESOME!

Ha! ~ 3 thks/day via email-text.

Just went out and started the car again after leaving it armed. No CELs.

I'm curious as well.

I remember one of shiv's comments regarding the sound change at around 3.5-4k rpm due to the aggressive VVT change (stage 1 tune) was that, if we don't want the aggressive VVT sound, get an aftermarket header so the VVT doesn't have to compensate as much at the torque dip range (stage 2 tune).

In short: if you hate the vvt tuning sound, go stage 2.

Wouldn't it make sense to have a less aggressive VVT tune in the torque dip range for ESC users with UEL headers?

Got the track pipe on today. No weird sounds at all. Absolute lovely sound though. Really feels like it is pulling harder now that I have the track pipe and header.

Looking forward to hopefully getting a little leaner afr curve and extracting more power.

Took my buddy with a 2013 stage 1 sti for a ride today and from 0 to 130km/hr he felt it was the same speed...... This is good!

Boost videos will come soon... It rained today.

Man, idk what's going on. I still have that P0108 cel no mater what i do. It doesn't seem to affect the powet of the car so should i just ignore it? But it bothers me that i have a cel on.

Maybe @shiv@vishnu forgot to disable that cel in your tune? I don't know if that is how it works or if everyone gets the exact same?

What does the code stand for again?

What is your ROM type (CAL ID)?
