hehe he just said YOU need to

LOL......i guess ur right

Take the car to the drags again. If your terminal speed is up on last time then no drama.

No harm in having a safe tune, dyno's are only a tuning tool.

Looking at the graph against AFR can help tell you if there is more in it to extract of course, the final number is not important. It is the change in number and it's magnitude across the graph that indicates good things.

Don't get hung up on dyno comparisons, whats the point in having a peice of paper that says 200rwkw if someone can show you one with 170rwkw for the same type of car. A that car is faster and more powerfull where it shows up and where it counts, on the track.I lost count of the number of times I've seen it and the number of people who don't get it years ago.

Just don't sweat it mate.

well back in the day i got 210rwkw at mainline dyno -bel performance thats with 10-11 psi boost and full exhaust from turbo back, front mount and pod...

cheers

[Haines]

I got 187.3 on 13psi with FMIC and 3" pipe

[33apx]

sounds fine for me too!!

[onedollarodent]

Take it to the strip and see the results, listen to Rev210, he knows whats hes on about.

Later,

Well written..i guess it the knowledge of knowing whether your car is running safe and giving you the HP you need. I too don't believe in number...just want my ride to be reliable with many years of joyride left in it. Cheers!

Wot he said above, i agree!! but in saying that every1 would want their car to be making as much pwr at the wheels as possible. I would be disapointed with that personally considering wots been done. Before i put on my pod and was still running standard boost i was making 183rwkws. on my 34 now i got safc2, 3" kakimoto, pod running 0.8 and i made just over 200. Id be getting a 2nd oppinion. Just book it in 4 a pwr run, for like $50 and if ur AFR's are looking crazy on the 2nd dyno get them to do a retune and see wot it gets then.

[evil_weevil]

Im with rev210 on this one too!

try the drags again and see what mph your getting!

[nizmokid]

sounds about right to me!

[17SOK]

Sounds about right...

Mine's putting out 186 rwkw @ .8 bar on a safe tune with the following mods (also runs 13.9 down the strip @ 100mph on a crap 60ft):

Apexi pod filter

Power FC

Blitz EBC

Front pipe

High flow cat

Cat back zorst

... running standard SMIC and turbo though and wouldn't even contemplate boosting any higher than .8 bar without a turbo that can cope with it.

Cheers.

There seems to be a bit of a pattern here, a lot of the guys that are quoting higher boost levels are actually seeing less power. This seems to indicate that possibly other things need to be changed for it to be worth while running the car at such high boost levels.

I'm not saying this is conclusive, but there is such a thing as too much boost. I'd like to know what would happen with the same car with the boost wound down to more like 10 -12 psi. Perhaps the car is getting excessive knock or something?

Also I'm not sure what pressure the intake valves can take before they start to have trouble shutting, I've heard that this can sometimes be an issue.

Personally just from seeing cars on a dyno day, of the cars that were running high boost levels it was only the ones that were well soughted out that were pulling deacent figures, all others were dissapointed.

[R31Nismoid]

Its probably more to the fact the turbo is just not efficient at higher boost leves, and is pumping hot air around

[J_Red33]

Would be pretty ineffiecient if it was creating less power with more boost just because of the turbo. I'd be surprised if this is the only reason.
