In decembre I had my car tuned by David Buschur in Las Vegas.

Been really busy with work and couldn't post results untill now, but here they are.

It was definetely worth the long drive to get the tune, I was happy with the down-to-business Buschur service and am now going to throw in a Buschur 2.3 stroker in the coming weeks.

Also a special thanks to Doug from Doug's Dynopower for all his help and enthusiasm during the dynotest.

91 octane tune:


C16 tune:

 

Not to bad. How much boost where these runs at? Sucks you gotta run 91 for daily driving. Happen to have any vids of the car with the 3037s?

 

91 was a 25psi spike holding about 22psi if I'm not mistaken.

Race gas was a 30psi spike holding about 26psi.

I am about to purchase the 2.3 Buschur motor and will hopefully have a nice torquey motor as the car is used for track events. I've also got a GT4088R sitting here on my desk which I may throw on the car someday just for giggles and a run down the 1/4,although that's not really my thing..

Here is a video of the car at 19-20psi spike holding 14psi. On this occasion I did not run more than 14psi because the clutch was beginning to slip...

Nice results

 

nice #'s

 

Thanks very much! I had hoped for slightly higher numbers, but I guess the turbo just didn't want to make much more.

On the weekend I threw some new rings and rods bearings in the motor and headed to the track, and I really liked the nice fat wideband, only the slowest turns show any signs of lag, and I'm confident that will be solved with the 2.3L

 

Thanks for coming to Vegas for the tune. I know it was a long drive and I appreciated you making the trip.

 

Thank you.

I'm just saving a few more pennies and I'll be hitting you up for the other pieces we spoke about...Christmas/new year's was a lot more expensive than I had planned

 

not very impress with this turbo. 3037 is a 3076R. Fpred would of been a better choice.

 

Congrats on ur new found Buschur Power! ; ) must feel good to be tuned by the one himself

 

I have the same turbo kit and im planning on getting kelfords to go along with it I was wondering what kind of power Ill make. Great numbers what other mods did your car have.

 

better choice for who/what?

It's hard to judge criteria if you don't know what my criteria is. I think the green (and lot's of other turbo options) are great but for this car in particular I wanted to go JDM style....was it the right decision??..does it really matter? It is what it is.

The car draws a crowd wherever i open the hood and the ooo'es and ahhh's speak for themselves. I didn't build it to break records, but to have that feeling of driving an Evo with a bunch of HKS stuff under the hood and you know what...it feels kind of cool.

For less money I could've gone with a AMS or Buschur (etc) turbo kit and reaped more power, but I couldn't care less, I'm one of the lucky one's who gets payed to drive (race) for a living so let my team boss worry about giving me a competitive car lol.

By the way, the car feels great on the track with only a little lag in the slowest corners, which I'm sure will be eradicated with the pending BR 2.3. Honestly I've looked at the FP red power curves and they are impressive, and may some day try one out for myself..for now I'm happy.

 

Yes, you know..it does give a lot of confidence to be looking at your car on the dyno and think "hey that's Mr Buschur tuning my car"

You may well make more power with the kelford's, also I asked specifically for a tune that would allow me to run long races with no probs...that means fairly conservative timing and tune.

As far as engine basics, my car has:

Cosworth head and cams
HKS Kansai intake manifold
ARC intercooler (holding car back due to high IAT's)
2.5" custom intercooler tubing
Walbro 255
AEM EMS
Stock TB
3" electronic cut-out
4" custom intake and AEM filter

If you require any more info just let me know.

 

Respects to you. You do what you want to do with the car that makes you love to drive the car. Most of us struggle for power and take compromises with what we'd like and what we end up getting.

Awesome

 

nice numbers...
