I talked to a local guy today about tuning my car. I knows he's done Haltech before and I'm certain because his DSM use to have one. I asked him how much he can get me with aroud 18-20psi and he told me that I should expect around 350-400whp....is that pretty good for the amount of boost I'm using through a 60-1? I kinda thought that that was kinda low....

 

On 20lbs you should be near 450-480whp depending on your compression ratio. The 60-1's are super efficient in higher boost levels.

 

I'm only running 9.0:1...

 

Still... 20+ psi should have you well over 400 hp on a DECENTLY tuned engine. 350 hp is attainable at less than 1 bar with excellent tuning.

 

anyone around the midwest really familiar with haltech?

 

ttt

 

I would help you, but im a bit far.

 

is virginia that far? I'm guessing maybe 20 hours max?

Jinxproof....who tuned your car?

 

You have the plug and play version from mark at phantom motorsports right? I got this a few months back and got the base map that he provided, and retuned the car to run on that map with 720cc injectors. If you have a wideband you can do it yourself, it really isnt that hard. You only have 20 fuel tables to tune, it isnt that bad. The map that he gave you is good till about 16-18psi, but the timing will have to be backed out a little bit to make things safe.

If you need help with tuning it i can try and be of assistance.

 

I have HAltech e6k with 3 Bar map sensor boosting 21 psi for short periods. Safe boost is 17psi on 9:1 B18C6 Euro-spec ITR engine.

 

thanks guys....yeah, it's the version from Mark...He told me to go down there and he can tune it for me, but UT is kinda far from MN

 

Well, mostpeople i talk to say anything over a few hours is far.
For me, anything over 24 hours is far.

 

ttt

 

kinda ot but howmuch power would a t3/to4e(57 trim. .63a/r) make at 20+psi? how effiecient would it be?(for 1.6 or 1.8 L)

 

John Brown

 

400-440 wheel

 

ya so i heard john brown sux at tuning cars a friend of mine has a white gsr boostin round 20 and his car has never run right it was built and tuned by john brown he spent too much in that engine for it not to work right i was told all john does is drive up and down the street on race gas and tunes the car somehow but whatever just what ii heard

 

yep.

 

so how come Jinx(Karl) is making 448whp and running 10's all day long?

 

Are you talking about Isaac Hurst @ Elite?

 

kong at elite just dyno'd his at 344whp @ 11psi(he needs a 3 bar map). Not sure if he was using hondata, but im almost certian he does.

 

To DC from ames, iowa is about a 14 hour drive. I'm doing it this weekend, if you want to caravan back let me know. I think payntech would be considerably closer for you and they are good tuners also.

 

yeah, That's what Isaac told me...

 

Yeah, he uses a Hondata.

Regardless of what his estimate was, Isaac is a really good tuner. maybe he's just being conservative with those numbers he gave you. I think he surprises himself a lot, anyways.

 

yeah, I might try it....
