I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

you can find parameters online if u look hard enough ... i'll see if i can find you some. I wouldn't drive around all day long with these parameters, as each motor is seperate and reacts differently, even though they are all made from the same place. They'll be good enough to get the car safely running until you can get it dyno'd.

i'll look for some for ya

actually don't the parameters go by +/- 10? If that's true, if you set everything at 0 then it's at it's stock setting, correct? I don't have any personal experience with them, but that's what i understood about them.

Anyway, if that's true, set everything at 0 until u can either dyno it, or find someone who knows what they're doing with it, or find what to do through research.

I'm still looking for some parameters for you - i'll keep you posted
