yes some form of boost control and a tune is a given

For minimal physical mods the car moves

 

Sorry. I'll explain about the Blitz. It's my favorite boost controller.

The unit uses it's own MAP sensor. Feeds signal to it's display.
The display charts boost over time.
It also does peak/hold.

So on a run, you can record it, and it can play it back and you can watch spikes, tapering, creeping whatever.

The runs I did were hitting max boost and then tapering slightly...1-2psi.


I went to the dyno with my street tuned map...I really wasn't expecting to make a lot of changes on the dyno, simply to get an idea of how my map was doing.

Since then, I have made a few changes, I'm still logging everyday to and from work to learn how the car responds.

Then maybe I'll push 23-24psi. This is my daily driver though. I told myself I wouldn't do that. If I were to push 23-24psi, I may need to get a walbro. In the meantime, I think my fuel pressure is fine based on my injector duty cycles.

 

I actually used the factory solenoid for a while and could hit 20psi and taper...but I got sick of dealing with the damn thing.

It's so worth it to buy a boost controller.

I hate manual ones. Pisses me off that they cost so much for so little. Might as well buy a nice EBC with a gauge built in.

 

imagine what a gt3082r can do with mivec!!!!

weee

 

Has anyone seen results of a 3076 with the IXs? I would like a bit more, but don't want a turbo that kicks in at 4500 + and is a dog below....Thanks

 

great job...i tune myself too, but i don't have a dyno in ne so i have to street tune.

 

good question, im sure someone has, although you can get that compressor on the gt28 turbine, which is 53mm instead of 60mm. (the anti dog)

 

Its amazing how well the IX responds to selected mods. I could feel a significant difference after installing just an AMS LICP and Random Tech HFC on top of my Works drop-in and mail-in flash.

 

wow, nice!!

 

I'm running 24.5 psi with no fuel starvation. Before I installed the LICP and HFC, the IDC's are around 95-98% at 7000 rpm though. Probably are a bit higher now. Need to get out and gather more data.

 

nice numbers

 

I didn't want to, nor expected to dyno tune my car.
My car is/was street tuned every day.
I think I posted it already. I pretty much log my car every day to and from work.
I made some adjustments on the dyno based on TDC's advice and got some pretty good gains. Over 10awhp more.



Incidentally, my Innovate LC-1 is busted so no logging for a bit. Stupid unit. Damnit.

 

Nice numbers ... With a dp and catback should put you around 320-330 whp what IXs usually make wit those mods

 

I really don't trust mail in flashes and that stuff.
Not to tug on me own nuts, by my AFRs are pretty rock solid. My timing map has been worked pretty good. I would expect better results than from a mail-in flash.

TDC's dyno reads 10% lower than most dyno's so I think I may already up there in terms of power to the wheels.
I don't know if I'll ever get a catback.

I have to keep reminding myself...daily driver daily driver.

What I will do is weld a freakin extension onto the factory exhaust. The tip is about 3 inches too short. Gettin all over my bumper and stuff.
