Got my IX tuned by J. Reese and for the first time since having my car it actually put down some decent numbers. There is some history with this car and Reese .... for some strange reason my car never seems to put down decent HP if my life depended on it.... sorry for all that just thought I would vent a bit
any how here is the info..

Mods:
Megan TBE
GM boost solenoid(hope I spelled that right)
AEM intake(w/stock MAF did I refer to that properly?)
AMS LICP

Fuel:
good ol' 76 91 oct

Boost:
25psi

Dyno Jet numbers
325hp/328trq

once again I want to thank James for having the patienance to deal with her and getting her to put out ....

 

good numbers! Newb ques, what is the GM boost solenoid?

 

It is a boost solenoid made by GM. A lot of people run those and use the stock ECU to control boost. It holds boost better.

 

Good numbers for mild mods! Reese and crew really know what they're doing and are great people to do business with.

 

doesn't seem bad for having to use 91 octane

 

Thanks guys! I think I will be corn fed (e85) by the end of the month .... Just need head studs and injectors ... Hopefully break the 370s and stay below 30psi... then it's off to the track we only have 1/8th mile races here in SD...unless ur a bum and street race which is retarded ... Anyhow.. With the e85 I hope to hit low 8's in the 1/8th of mile wish me luck !

 

IMO....I think your pushing your turbo pretty hard for 91oct and your numbers are alittle low. I have a 9 myself with the Megan TB with test pipe, Injen up/low ICP and intake, and an AGP intercooler, stock boost solenoid at 22 psi and 92 oct. And on a Mustang dyno (reads 10-14% lower than a dynojet from what I have read) 330 whp and 318 wtq tuned by Tim Bailey who is one of the main men for Cobb Tuning.
But if your knock counts are fine thats cool....I would just hate for your turbo to prematurely fail.

 

congrats on the numbers.

 

Nice Numbers I am interested in the GM solenoid I gotta look into that

 

yeah man i like it alot... contact James at reese tuning for more info unless you know someone else.. good luck with it

 

b/c of 91 octane, I dunno how much to turn up the boost as well? Guess it all depends in the tune right? I just don't want any detonation, but the op seems to be fine... I'm putting my hands in GST

 

Trust me James will not give you a dangerous tune...

he knows what he is doing and is a really good guy...

Reese Tuning FTW
91 octane FTL

 

nice numbers!

dyno sheet please!

i got a 3" TBE and 3 port and made similar numbers but i think we got worst that 91 octane here

u got a Walbro as well?

boost @ redline?

 

Here is some good reading:

At the last pages I posted where to get it the cheapest.
