TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
I have my first follow up this coming Tuesday. He will go over what he found out and get me scheduled for my next procedure. This one will be a bit more extensive, but still fairly routine; about 2 hours to complete. This will be a repair to the kneecap. After that, we move to the left knee. Lol

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
Worked on data logging today and worked out the graphs pretty nicely. The one thing I come to realize today is that this damn car is way to fast to be able to tune any further on the street. I hooked up my AEM solenoid to the ECU today and added up to around 15psi to the tune and it pretty much made me park the car. I’m still only running low cam mode and have not even turned vtec back on in the program until I finished the low cam maps and this damn thing almost scared me. I never felt uncomfortable driving this car while it was running 11’s but the new setup is a whole new beast! I don’t see how anybody can drive a 500hp Honda on the street? I know mine is lighter than most street cars, but this is a 10 sec car without the vtec already and low boost levels, I can’t wait to get this on the race track and see what it’s made of!!!

Sounds freakin awesome though! And you'll get used to it and be turning it up in no time

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
Looks like Friday is going to be my first day on the dyno! I’ve been Street tuning enough to get a great starting point on the dyno. I have no idea what kinda numbers I’ll put down, but this will be my first real attempt at making serious power. I’d love to see it make 400hp with the little tuning experience I have.....anymore than that and I’ll be thrilled, any less and I’ll be hiring a tuner. Lol

Sweet! Yeah, I thought I was doing good on mine last time until I started tuning with Phearable and then it became evident I wasn't really making any kind of real progress. Lol!

It’s looking like the weather is going to work out for me to be able to race this weekend for the first time since my build. I’m doing my own tune for the first time on the track....... everybody want to guess what my best time and mph will be! Let’s hear what everyone thinks!

Not to sound like a killjoy, but after all the hard work you've put into this project before tuning,. My Hope is that the car (and you most importantly) just make it back in one piece. You'll get the car just perfect if you don't have hyped-up unrealistic expectations to begin with. Just be impartial, exacting and emotionless as a Vulcan

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
I just got back from the dyno a few minutes ago......A few things didn’t go my way and I had to run the car off the wastegate spring and I didn’t get to work on boost settings. The 255 walbro pump also was running out and I started to lean out over 8k rpm . Over all I’m thrilled! At 11psi and my dumbass doing the tuning, the car made 404whp and 265 lbs of torque. I didn’t expect to see over 400 until 15psi or better. I’m very happy so far.

Very nice! Timing was pretty conservative then? I think I may have hit the time/speed pretty close according to those numbers. Lol

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
.4 deg per psi is what I have it set at right now, so close to 5deg pulled at 11psi car made 140 more hp with high cam engaged. I tuned it on low cam and then did the math on how much fuel to add for high cam. Made 366 first pull with vtec engaging

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
Very nice! I stuck with 1:1 on my last tune. I'm hoping to do a full dyno tune this time around. I'll probably clean up partial and idle but leave WOT for the dyno.

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
i was at .75 on 93 but E85 I changed it to .40. I did a pretty good street tune, I didn’t have to change too much on the dyno

Man.. Almost no visible engine twist at all. Those mounts are tough. Lol! Car sounds beast. When the turbo starts spooling, sounds like a little jet about to take off.

Re: TurboLScrx - Making my return to the fold
ha! I was just watching for motor shift myself. The crap turbo manifold I have broke on the dyno which is what made me call it quits. Been Talking with Humble Performance today about getting a KLM top mount. I was surprised how loud the turbo was
