Official "I got DynoFlashed!" Thread
I blame the Greddy ebc. I just wasn't holding boost well. I put about 289 at 16psi. If we could have gotten the boost right, Al estimated around 310-315. Oh well, it's still fast as crap! GottaGoFaster was very impressive with his mods!
Hey guys - it was really a great day and I enjoyed all your company. I really appreciate your business and trust with your prized evos.
The Dyno Pak needs a lot of playing with the settings - pull legnth - gear ratio and starting and ending rpms to get it to read accuratley to the actual street load. After a few times, I was able to get some really good sheets.
The first few sheets did not just look right as we were getting some oscilations on the dyno
BTW - not accurate to compare the 3" buschur car to the 2.5 " one b/c that 3" one we left super conservative (more than usual) as he seemed to have some engine issues - he was blowing smoke and has low compression after having a problem earlier in the week installing a boost controller and hitting very high boost over 30 psi
Gotta go faster really benefitted with the low end power with that 2.5 " down pipe - but it was the top end that super suffered due to the stock cat back section - thats why it falls down a bit on top
His power band was super - super smooth and that pull was after flogging it out on the road so that smooth tune is staying ! I am getting to the point were my dyno sheets are much smoother than just about any out there. We make power - do it super safe and super smooth with zero knock activity and ALL under the FACTORY knock threshold (good thing)
The difference between his first dyno sheet and second being so much smoother is becuase of the Fireball 2 upgrade in the flash which was his base map
Thanks again guys !
PS - Me and TAk had some time after wards - I could not finish his car in time - it was proving to be hard so he and I were out on the back road to almost 2:00 a.m. finishing his tune - we got busted by a woman cop who held us for over a half hour and then told us we better knock it off and go home !!!!!!!
Good thing b/c then I got in my car and drove it to Englishtown and qualified 2nd place in the AWD class of the Toyo Import survival series and went on the take 2nd place (kicking some STI's asses ) and taking the cash prize and nice throphy - I need some sleep
I love my car ! My best time was 11.61 @ 125 mph without any nos and a full interior and my Mcintosh - not bad on a car that just drove 170 miles

I forgot to mention - you get a free re-tune on your car when i come back there in a few weeks - get all those minor details sorted out and we will get you some more safe power !

Answer my question or I will unleash the monster below Grrrrrr...

Looks liek you need a better BOV, is it stock? If so it is leaking, and probably why the power and boost is falling off, I bet this little mod will alow you to hold more boost and then WHP.

Yeah that woman cop sucks. Her flashlight was so ****ing bright, while she was checking our IDs, Al didn't care and was still working on my car. Anyway, thanks Al for spending that much time on tuning my car, you're the hardest worker I've ever seen. My car is running so smooth and pulling so strong now, I really like it. I hope I can get some more mods put in my car before you coming back to Agile. Your car was super fast man, I sat in the back seat holding the roll bar felt like sitting on the rollercoaster.
hehehe....

Hey guys...just wanted to thank Al as well. My car is fairly humble compared to these guys as it's still stock (K&N drop-in filter) but after Al's magic at Agile, I got 253 whp and 270 wtq. Pretty damn good numbers for the $$$ and the car is a MUCH better driver than ever before. Pulls strong all the way to redline, idles smoother and feels stronger throughout the powerband.
I can echo these guys in that Al is a super-nice guy. He treated my car with respect throughout the process and never "thrashed" it but rather merely drove it to it's potential. Thanks again and I look forward to the next time...

Al is certainly a no B.S. kind of guy. He does what he says, no myths ands or buts about it. Great work Al, totally worth the $$ and before I add any additional mods, my first thought will be to track down the next time you are in the area to tune them in properly.
The car feels much more like a 6-cyl BMW moter then a 2.0L I-4. very smooth, well except for the fact that it runs like a Mother****er, now !!
