TSCOMP TUNED strikes again 395hp/363tq almost stock Evo 9
Pretty amazed at this tune. I have a pretty much stock Aussie Evo 9 running on 93 pump fuel (98 oct Aussie fuel, same as 93 octane in the states). Mods are limited to -
Litespec 3" exhaust
Tomica 100cel steel cat
Meek (local workshop) 3" stainless front pipe
K&N pod filter (with home made airbox and Monster Sport carbon intake)
Alloy suction pipe (eBay one I think)
Grimmspeed EBCS
ETS licp
Walbro 255
That's it, stock cams, stock turbo, stock UICP's, stock injectors, stock coils, stock engine size, no E85, no water or meth injection. Nothing else done. Total price for all my mods is probably around $1200. O yeah, most important bit, a tune from Tom at TSCOMP.
Results
395hp and 363lbft or torque at 28psi on pump gas (no 3port so just eyeballing the boost gauge) (this is on smoothing 3 whatever that means, seems to be the one most people here use, looks the best too
)
I did see over 400hp at one point but I had a few 2 counts of knock so Tom backed off the timing, I feel that this is a really safe tune. Almost 400hp and masses of torque with no knock.
Tom thought I should mention that this car is in Australia and it's now winter here so the log runs were done at about 15c (55F) air temp, he thought that no one would believe the numbers if I didn't mention that. Another thing is that the logging was done at 2200ft (750mtrs), I think that this car would be making over 400hp at sea level at this temp.
Car drives great! The most amazing thing isn't the power, it's the torque. Come out of corner at 2500rpm in 5th (cruising on the drive home from work) and just squeeze the pedal, the car just goes, no hesitation, just lots of grunt. The idle is great, no dips or anything even with the eBay suction pipe.
Tom at TSCOMP as been great, this is a result of 65 emails and 18 maps, each one giving just a bit more power. As he put it to me in his last email
"glad you like the numbers..it's what you get when you don't rush a tune and try to extract every last ounce of power out of the car while still maintaining a safe boundary so the motor stays in one piece"
Good job I say
.
Thanks

Awesome numbers man
I just got tuned by Tom myself and put down 374whp/326wtq. Also with minimal mods but 2psi less then you. I didn't want to go over 26psi on pump gas.
I have no doubt that torque must feel great. Tom could have gone higher but I asked him to keep it low until I get a built 5-speed.

Thanks HaVoC187, yeah it's a lot of boost, might be closer to 29psi, I'm having a hard time eyeballing the boost gauge, rev gauge and road at the same time. First time the boost needle swung around to those numbers I was shocked, asked Tom if that was ok, he said "yeah that what I want" I wasn't getting any knock issues so Tom is happy and if Tom's happy so am I . Tom suggested that the Aussie 98ron must be good fuel, Vpower ftw! Wish it was a bit cheaper though!

thanks for the review and sharing the graph Andrew, glad you're happy! Ya the fuel is good.. that and the cold weather helps also.. the 2200ft sea level im not sure how much that effects power % but your car makes great power for miminal mods.
id say the fuel is like a 93 but a really good 93 .. possibly a 94.. the evo 9's are easy to make power on stock though because the head already has good size cams in it.. they are equiv to a hks 272 some would say from a evo 8 standpoint.
if at all possible shoot me over a 4th gear pull so i can confirm theres no detonation in 4th.. if there is i will lower boost a bit in 4th only .. ive already done so for 4-5 but we didnt get any logs .. so just shoot me that over when you get a chance.
enjoy the car and thanks for choosing me to tune it.
