Found the issue to that noise. It was the dv. Swapped it out and it's all good now. I'm gonna try like you said with a little less e85 and up it some more.

I meant how your car smells and how sensitive you are to it is subjective. I personally haven't noticed a smell or change since changing my downpipe and I know that gross no cat smell from older dirty running vehicles. CEL is also one of those magic in the ether things.. I got a CEL but fixed it with a spacer

So either the bad Dv was the issue or the e85.. because my latest log looks better with no e85 at all. This is just 93.

E85 is never bad unless you put in too much. 3 gallons to top off a full tank of premium is what you target.

That's what I was doing which leads me to think that my issues were mostly with the dv...I guess the new plugs and coils I already ordered will only help now? I know I've said this before...but I really don't think I want to push it much more...[emoji23]

Your timing is taking a big hit. Go back and look at your map 4. you were advancing to 13 degrees on the one log where you were just adding 1 psi and now you are 7-8. The e85 will help get that back, But I think on 93 octane, the APR tune is maxed out.

You need to log from 2500rpm to redline in 3rd gear. In your logs, you were in 3rd gear but they were from 4500rpm so you don't know what happened below 4500rpm. But nice IAT (93 degrees)
, at 5300rpm you lost 2 degrees in timing in both logs, so you may want to lower the boost by 0.5.

IS38WAGON is the one who built the wagon. Mine is an is20 fwd, bigbearbut is getting ready to go either is20 or is38. That being said. You need to log from below 3,000. Like 2,500 all the way through third. When you press the pedal down, you can feel the kick down at the bottom. Press right to it and don't press hard enough to make it kick down. It will still be 100%. My concern about your settings is a that the is12 will not make more than 16-17 psi efficiently on the stock downpipe and 93. It also does not like boost to continue to increase past 4,000. Your just making hot air and losing timing at that point. Look at where your timing drops to 5 at around 4,400 it should keep going up st that point. You should be able to hit 16-17 degrees or better at 6,400. 2-3 gallons of e85 will allow you to go higher, but again, peak at 4,000 and then taper

Are you James? I’m the one you were messaging on FB a while ago. My wagon is doing some decent times, but chuck’s (is38wagon) still has the best time!
