Turbo Horsepower Question
Ok, I got my Fmax/Hondata up and running well now. No oil leaks; I don't think any significant exhaust leaks.
I have it dyno tuned to at least 8psi and have fuel and timing mapped to about 10psi before its gonna cut fuel since we aborted further tuning when I sprang the turbo oil leak last month.
I'm getting great boost which hold steady and I'm wanting to get back to a dyno to continue fine tuning.
I'm wondering if I'm getting all the horsepower I should be. Should my tires be busting loose from the road at 8psi in a GSR if everything is ok? I'm getting great pull but not the kind of traction losing pull I was hoping for. Maybe at 8psi I shouldn't expect that?

Re: Turbo Horsepower Question (GruvyTune)
Define "breaking them loose". Wheel spin after launching... from a roll? Entire loss of traction or just squeeling?

Re: Turbo Horsepower Question (GruvyTune)
If you've dyno tuned it then you've got the torque and hp figures. So how much power are you making? That would be a lot easier to compare to know if you're tuned well than something subjective like whether you break the tires loose.

Re: Turbo Horsepower Question (Ubermensch)
i was getting about 210HP at 8psi but i am sure its more now.
at 6psi it was about 200HP
the turbo was not working well then and was leaking oil and had play in the shaft.
i will try to dyno again soon and retune to at least 10-12psi when i do. My steering is hard to control once i hit high boost and get into vtec (set at 5800 now).
tires are coopers i think in the fronts right now. a bit sticky but not very

Re: Turbo Horsepower Question (Phantom)
when set at stock there was a huge power dip at the vtec crossover (4800RPM). That was fixed by raising it to 5800 so now the power curve is straight without the dip.
