Couple small updates.
Car has been running great. Here's the latest vdyno. No huge changes, but the car's been running great. Turbo is super maxed out.
Today I finally installed my SWAS switch. For whatever reason I never really had an issue with SWAS on my AP v2 before the build, but after the build and the AP v3 upgrade I seemed to hit it all the time. Really noticeable on the mountains when I took it down to Tucson, so I finally got this set up. Have a little coolant leak, but I haven't bothered looking into it too hard since it's very small, but that's a pain in the ass I'll have to approach sometime.
My next kind of shitty long term issue is my Eonon head unit. After dealing with China "support" on this for a long time I've finally given up on getting anything decent out of them. They've shipped me 2 different LCDs to try to fix my screen issue. The screen on the Eonon worked fine when it was originally installed, but one day the screen went black and has stayed that way since. I found out that at night I could very faintly see the screen. It's very dimly backlit, but during the day you can't see anything. The touch screen still works and the radio works fine, but I'm basically at the point where I have to memorize where everything is on the touch interface for me to navigate during the daytime. I've tried remounting the connections, replacing the fuse, and replacing the LCD with a new one from Eonon, but nothing seems to fix it. Not sure if anybody else here with an Eonon has had any trouble with this or not, but I've just kind of given up on it at this point.
One other strange issue that I do not think is related is that one of my MAP lights in the car doesn't seem to function correctly. All of the other lights in the car work just fine, but no matter what bulb I use, the driver's side doesn't light up properly when the doors are opened, but works fine when the button is pressed. Here's a couple images of what I'm talking about:
Door opened:
MAP button pressed:
I checked the voltages with a multimeter and when the door is opened the driver's side bulb is pulling 5v while the passenger is pulling 12v. When the button is pressed down and it lights up normally the drivers side goes up to 12v. I'm not really sure what this could be since I've swapped the bulb and have the same problem. From the wiring diagram it seems like they're wired up in parallel, so I'm not really sure what could effect just the driver's side bulb. I've checked the ROOM fuse and even replaced it for giggles, but still no dice. If anybody has any ideas on this I'm all ears.
All of these are pretty small issues, so I can't complain too much. My first oil analysis is going out to Blackstone on Monday, so I'll report back with that after I get a response. I'm at ~8k on the motor so far. It's ripping so hard that the Pilot Super Sports don't seem to be cutting it anymore. I'm looking at a stickier tire, but I just bought this set of PSS. I think a couple of R888Rs or something in the front is what I'm gonna have to do. I can break it loose in 4th now which is hilarious, but shouldn't happen. Rather than detuning, I think tires are a good first step. All in all things are going pretty good though.
