Some of you have followed this project. I did a small lil write up on the build up.

Here is a link for some of you that missed it.

I finally got the time and money to finish the project. It's been running for about 2 months now. With moving and all I have not had the time to get on the dyno. I finally got a chance to work some small bugs out and tuned the car at Torquefreaks. My first choice was Groundzero's Mustang dyno, but they were pretty booked everytime I came back down to Portland. The other option was to dyno at Torquefreaks who has a inground dynojet. Since I did most of my tuning on the road I just had to fine tune WOT and get some numbers.

So here is the dyno at 10psi. My boost gauge said 10psi, but to be exact it was about 10.34-10.68psi via the AEM EMS Logging.

Here is the dynoplot. Just to let you guys know Torquefreaks uses a tailpipe 02 pickup. Which I found to be about .75-1.0 leaner than what my AEM Uego was picking up. I did calibrate my AEM Uego before tuning to make sure it was setup properly.

I logged every run and to give you a example. On Run 15 which is in RED the o2 readings shows I was at 11.5a/f, my logged showed 10.18a/f. I checked my plugs and I verified I was running rich. I am going back tomorrow to straighten out the last leg of my air/fuel a lil more to not only gain a lil power, but to keep my torque level. I will also lean it out more due to the fact I am shootin for 12.0-12.5. The car runs real good at 12.5 and shows no sign of detonation. If I see no real power gain with 12.5 even with no sign of detonation I will go ahead and tune it for 12.0 so I can easily turn up the boost later on and let boost comp take care of the rest.

Anyways. Take a look, there is more power to be had, and I believe 400whp at the same boost level is just around the corner. All the tuning was done by me, and the AEM EMS has been working out pretty well. My best run made 388whp. This was about run 8. I am sure the lower HP numbers is due to heatsoak and etc.

I did drive 2.5 hours to the dyno, and was strapped on in 15 minutes. I also did a total of 15 runs..so I am sure some heatsoak was there. But no matter, I am happy with the results.

I rented the dyno for 1 hour and tried to get as many runs in as I could. I did ofcourse take breaks in between each run. There was also 2 slight misses up top that you can see in the dyno graph. I am going to close up the gap on the plugs and also switch from a V-power plug to one with a standard electrode. I also forgot to choose CDI in the coil dwell wizard which could have been the reason for the slight miss. It seems to run a lot smoother with the coil dwell set properly. We'll see.

Nice numbers andy! What is the turbo program consist of?

Alstare

Damn nice numbers man...

Are you gonna tune off your UEGO or the dyno WB?

BodyKits NW

I am going to tune using my AEM Uego. The logs are more accurate and show me exactly what the o2 readings are at the exact rpm. The dyno's o2 has a delay of about 500rpm's. So if the dynojet shows it's 11.0 at 6500 rpm's it's actually 11.0 at 6000 rpm's. If you saw my log the A/F curve is exactly the same as the dynojet's. Only difference like I said is that my log shows I am running richer and it also shows the reading without the 500rpm delay.

i would trust the dyno wideband more than the aem. in my experience i have found the aem wideband to be a piece of ****. it could be just that particular wideband tho.

GREAT #s for 10 pounds.

that is sick for 10 psi

Nice job Andy

Great Job Japandy, is this with the Precision SC61?

FOrSfEd

Can someonme let me know the numbers I'm at work and can't see the graph because of a filter lol.

383 and 249 on 10 lbs

FOrSfEd

Damn those are some great numbers

PM-Performance

so you did end up sticking with my motor.
glad it all worked out

BodyKits NW

Yah the guy backed out and by the time that happened I had already saved enough money to build another motor. Well saved enough money to get most of what I needed done. All that lil **** is soo damn expensive.

B18C1CYA

what turbo are you running to make them numbers at around 10psi ?

BodyKits NW

I run the Innovative GTS61. Just the standard T3/T04e housing.

turbosi03

holy **** thats real nice man... I used your write up to build my motor, I will be dropping it in the car tonight

so thanks for the help, and great numbers

btw: looks like the xover point is way over to the right... whats the peak RPM like 6500~7k or something??

jumpmann23

when are we gonna see the high boost dyno plot?

BodyKits NW

LOL. When I run out of 92 octane and can put some 110 in. I can't really turn the boost up much more. The most I would run on pump is 425-450 and that's already pushing it. I'm sure I can attain that maybe at 13-14psi. I'm not even in the efficiency range of this turbo yet.

jumpmann23

im sure 400whp is enough for the streets anyway. im still running around on 5lbs haha so.. i shouldnt be telling you to turn it up.

PM-Performance

400 is almost retarded on the streets. hella fun on the highway though. i was pushing a little under 450whp on pump on the streets when i sold it. blazing the tires up in smoke on a high gear highway pull was insane.
Damn i miss turbo

m R g S r

****, what you have now is plenty for the streets, how's 1st and 2nd gear traction? I bet it's non-existant.

DC_andrew

Nice work Andy, Im glad to see all this work is finally paying off. Those numbers are awesome for such low boost...hopefully Ill be able to come check it out soon.

Kowalski

Nice numbers man
