dynoed 3rd gear i could have swore the gauge said 8lbs but the dyno guy said 10lbs Thanks to Dave Lee for getting me in to tune it on the street. I am over 200 but i guess i wanted to be around 250 with everybody else.

wow that looks pretty damn nice... i hope mine turns out as nice as that. what kinda cams you runnin?

 

Pretty nice. I think it was at 8 psi. I have had many LS's around that mark on 8.

 

Did you go with the Greddy kit to keep is legal?

 

Stock cams were in there. I hope thats only at 8psi cause i have been sniffing around here for awhile and seen some darn close setups to mine runing around 250+ on 10lbs.

I got the greddy kit used for about 1100 the turbo had been rebuilt which was never told to me and the pipes did not fit right so i lost AC but i cannot go wrong for about 1100 with injectors bigger IC and a boost gauge i sold off.


Its just bugs me alittle bit about the boost problem i am having with the Profec. I knew intec was in a hurry to get out to the car show in Tacoma. I just wish dave or josh was there to make some changes. Heck ya tho 65 bucks for wideband and 2 power pulls i know were i stand i guess.

 

Whoops btw thanks for the compliments. I have been trying to get rid of that POS beat up T2000 front end for 6 months and go back to stock but nobody has a decent one for sale.

 

why dont u have someone make u a custom dp. i kno the stock ones suck and they are really small. you can make so much power w/ what u have. other than that u should get to 250 no prob. its weird that i see the a/f is 12:5 or so and u only made that much on 10psi. ive seen greddy w/ 10psi easily over 200ft/lbs of tq.

 

Yeah that is one option i will work on. was thinking GSR cams and then a new Downpipe. But like i said intec was in such a rush i think it was only 8psi.

as you can see on the sheet. my 1st one i let off at 7500rpm.i dunno what i was thinking. 1st time with a turbo car on a dyno. then the next run i think i got it up to 8k rpm. More and more i sit here and think about it. I am pretty sure it was 8lbs. But do dyno machines record how much boost it is running. or is it what you see is what you get on this sheet. I am just so uncertian. I was up there so quick and off quick.

 

was this on a dynojet or mustang dyno?

 

it should read on the computer. the dyno doesnt read boost just whp. the ems ur running should tell u what psi ur running

 

dyno jet sae corrected uncorrected was like 224 or something.

 

Yea another + for Dave Lee. Hit me up if you want to change out that mani and DP for somthing better, bigger.

 

if the dyno is hooked up to a vacuum source on the car which alot of dyno's do, then your boost reading on the dyno should be correct. I know i trust the laptop and comp. on the dyno more then i trust my autometer boost gauge.

also, the dyno's a dynojet and it uses a tailpipe sniffer.

 

looks nice, 209 must be at 8psi if not youve got a problem somewhere. do you have any fuel management systems? vafc-2 e-manage ems hondata?

 

It was tuned on chrome. I might have a leak somewere so i will be looking at that next. I could use a downpipe right now but i am broke for alittle bit after all this. so i have to stick with what i got unless its around 100 bucks. I will keep all that in mind tho

 

what do you mean it was tuned on chrome? whats that

 

Bleh was typo Crome freeware like uberdata/turboedit

very nice set up. I still have all the stock IC piping on my kit with a 2.5" DP and at 17psi and stock B18C bore I did 309whp 242wtq conservative since I drive the car daily and that was on pump gas. you have way more left it in

i agree

 

play around with an air intake on that thing....last greddy kit i saw i played around wtih that and actually putting a draw tube with an air filter near the headlight actually made pretty big gains in power...i wanna say like 15-20whp......could be wrong on the numbers, it was a few years ago.

I was thinking of flipping my intake tube to face downward for norwalk and see if it helps being slightly to the right(if you are in front of the car) of the IC

 

did you just do dyno pulls at intec or did you have them tune too? looks good overall though

 

I see an Accorn in the background

Yeah i just did 2 power pulls down at intec. I did not have a appointment and they were trying to get ready for that global import car show. I swore i fixed the profec and did a few rips yesterday held boost at 10lbs all through the gears. Today on the way home i was spiking over 11 and getting that sputter around 6krpm would not go any higher. I may try something different cause i never messed with the profec since it was holding fine the other day.

Dave lee tuned mysetup but sent the bin file to the wrong person & josh was off that day to work on the car. 2 weeks and maybe i will let somebody else dyno my car and report back.
