Default My new setup after step 1 of break in.

Well crud. It has been a very very long time since I have posted anything.

After the Map died we had a sickly motor and only ran to 15psi and made 460whp. We were in the process of checking things out because the car smoked real bad and turns out we had to start over. So here is where we are so far. I will update as we move closer to finishing the break in and into C16 and higher boost.

Right now we are at 12psi and making 430whp on a dyno dynamics dyno. Dyno brand doesn't matter to but what does is that we pulled -4 on the timing from the original set-up and we are 11.2-11.5 till the motor gets some more break in. So for the most part the car is making much better power than it did before. (even if it was broke to some degree)

I still have a inactive PLX a/f gauge that i am working out and just got the temp gauge on the factory cluster up and running again.

So I thought to share were I am the second build around. Looking at more power in a couple weeks once we hit the 1000k mile mark. 17psi is next. 1500 more good miles and c16 and 28psi.

Take it easy

Wow sounds like you've had quite a struggle. I am sure it will be worth it once it is all done.

why keep the afrs so low even during break in? I don't think that's as much a safety thing as it is causing possible unnecessary carbon buildup on the pistons.

Nice numbers though, can't wait to see the results!

I only have the tune that rich while the car is in boost. Street driving is set about perfect at this point which is where i should be breaking things in. LOL Boost is not for break in. I still need another 700 miles before the car really should be seeing much boost and at that time we plan on leaning it back out.
