spend a whole weekend strapped to the dyno and get that baby tuned!

 

I've had it tuned at the dyno before I turned up the boost. We only tuned wot from 5500 up. The AF is 11.9-12.1. I will probably just drive it the way it is now until my 2.0 gsr is finished. Any ideas why my tq is so low?

 

holy f8ck!!!!
awesome!!!!!!!!
POST THE VID>>>>>POST THE VID!!!! pls
damn.i need a C1 and a 60-1

 

So the only thing you did different was turn up the boost?

 

nice #'s josh, i'm still waiting on a ride in that thing.

 

Come by work and I'll take you for a ride. Art All I did was turn up the boost and make me p72 file a p30. I'm kinda happy with the car right now for once.

 

So you tuned 5500 and above. That explains that dip That torque "curve" is crazy wack funk! Talk about flat. What are the specs on your turbo exactly?

 

Why is there a drop right before the boost kicks in..on your dyno plot?

 

turbo 60-1 compressor .60 exhaust .63 stage 3 wheel

My boost builds around 4000-4200 and vtec is at 5100-5200. I'm not sure what the dip is from I wish I knew.

 

Any ideas why my tq is so damn low?

 

Holy shiet....that jump in power at 5500 RPM is insane! Nice man, nice!

 

up

 

What is your timing set at? Timing with good fuel = good torque. With 115mph in my Buick I ran 11.50's all day (but thats rear wheel drive hooking 1.55 sixty foots), so that should show you what you are comparble with on a rolling start on the streets. Hook us up with that video bro I would love to see it.

 

heyyyyy, that was on street tires ?

 

I have a hondata but my base timing is 14degrees. I know I'm running conservative (safe) timing and fuel. Could some wack cam gear settings cause this weak *** tq?

 

It was on some 22*8*15 slicks but I was launching at idle so I wouldn't break a axle.

 

what torque were u making at 7.5psi?

 

I had a different turbo then (.50/48) and made 189ft/lbs

 

interesting, thats good torque, how was your top end with that turbo? torque fell off alot more im assuming. I noticed with the 60-1 torque doesnt fall off at all to redline. maybe the 60-1 wants more boost to get into its efficiency?

 

Sweet power dude, good luck breaking into the 11's! Looks like you are headed that direction!

 

I went to a local 1/8 mile track this past weekend and ran a 7.94@93.2. When I ran my 12.5 my 1/8 was a 8.18. The 1/8 mile track is prepped alot better than out local 1/4.

 

115 mph is good for high 11's. Keep that in mind.
EVIL

 

I was working on my car today and looked at my cam gears. I saw that my cams gears were set advanced 1 degree on the intake and advanced 5-6 degrees on the exhaust. Isn't that exhaust way off? Could this have a big effect on my hp or tq? Can I set my exhaust at 0 without needing to get retuned? I know if I adjusted my intake cam I would have to play with the timing. What kinda cam gear setting is everyone else running?

 

Looks like your turbo is really liking the bigger VTEC lobe. Why not set VTEC to engage about 500-700RPM sooner and see how the TQ curve feels on the street?

I'd say find someone with a GTech Pro and get someone to ride along with you and do some 3rd/4th gear pulls from 3000-5000RPM, then 5000-8000RPM and just compare the G's you can pull. Make small changes on your cam gears, like retard exhaust 2 degrees and then make a few pulls and see how it performs. If there is no noticeable change, try something else. If you find nothing offers any benefits, then go back to what you've got now.

It'd be a real "dirty" tune, but I've seen some people get pretty close to the an "optimal tune" with a little patience and a scientific approach to street tuning.

 

definitly tune those cam gears.
