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?

I would think at 8 PSI you should break em loose, I Remember some people saying they were breaking loose at 6PSI.

 

Maybe i'm just not tuned right then?

 

Define "breaking them loose". Wheel spin after launching... from a roll? Entire loss of traction or just squeeling?

any loss of traction especially once rolling and turbo engages at WOT

 

What tires are U using? Are they really sticky?

 

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.

 

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

 

Why is your vtec point so high?

 

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.
