Converting a Evo IX turbo to a FP Black seems to be a popular upgrade these days with pricing under $2000 for a bolt on turbo requiring no aftermarket manifold, reusing stock oil feed and drain lines, coolant in and coolant out. With our direction, we advised Angel that it would be an efficient use of funds for his 2006 Evo IX MR 6sp CT9A. Already equipped with our dual map switching ECU tuning with a map for pump 93 and a map for 110 octane racefuel, he wanted to take it up a notch with our TTP twin pump fuel system upgrade and Ethamax 1250cc injectors for his FP Black turbo. We also swapped out the manual boost controller in favor of TTP's ECU controlled boost mapping thanks to patches from David Shirley from NZ.



With the turbo installed, our twin pumps added to the mix along with our fuel injector upgrade, we were ready to test out this Black and see what she'd do for us. Equipped with an INJEN intake and pipes system, Megan Racing turboback exhaust, TTP O2 housing, Kelford TX272 camshafts for EvoIX, stock springs and retainers, it was time to test it out on 93 and E85. With little fuel in the tank we were able to get the pump map done quickly as we have tuned many Reds and Blacks on V7 bigmaps and have a solid foundation of maps established which speeds up the tuning process. Once we drained the remaining drops of 93 from the tank, we moved onto 5 gal of E85 (which I personally would always like to see a full tank follow a fuel swap so that as close to the target 85% ethanol content could be achieved). With the new fuel added and boost, timing, AFR, injector scaling all modified and adjusted to optimum targets, the previous racefuel mapping on 93 octane, stock turbo 350whp/361tq on stock IX turbo @ 1.00%CF was trumped by the newly founded 126whp gains to 476whp/400tq @ 1.00%CF uncorrected dyno numbers.



Checking in on his car and tune via text message returned a response that it drives great, but that he is scared of it now so he is taking it easy for a while as we had just replaced an ACD transfercase for him last month that he broke from racing at Lakeland Speedway. You have to pay to play and if you are racing, you are breaking things.

**edit- I actually pondered the cause of the dip at the end of the graph for a little while before it hit me... I checked with the customer and indeed the valvesprings were in fact still stock. The high boost coupled with winding out the motor certainly induced valve "float" which caused a dip at the end of the curve.

We will be swapping them out in favor of the Supertech beehives at his next appointment time and get back on the dyno.

 

You have good story telling skills to go with these dyno results! LOL! good salesmanship

 

nice job scott looks like a nice little street car

 

We truly enjoy what we do and its our way of describing the experience our customer goes through with their ugrades and visit. The forum is a great place for information and the more combinations of parts and tuning you can read about, the better you will know what to expect out of the car. Take what you read and learn and apply it to your own special recipe build.

 

nice work scott!

 

I hope you didn't use the stock line

Good numbers btw

 

^^^ looks like it has the fp plug in the stock hole

 

Should have been more clear. Able to use the stock oil feed line, but according to FP turbo policy the oil feed line from the oil filter housing coupled with their inline filter is required to meet their warranty policy rules.

 

wow..! my next step is a FP RED/BLACK

 

very nice power. could you say how much boost you were using to make the power?

 

impressive work with the stock ecu.

 

I realize it is OT, however I'd like to know what nice black rims are on the car in the opening post. Thanks, and nice work!

 

How much boost?

 

When you say 1.0CF what are you referring to? I see the graph is uncorrected, but other then altering weather correction factors the is no true correction factor in the powerdyne software. Are you meaning you just lowered the paristics multiplier to the default of 1.00?

 

Scott I too would like to know how much boost you were running please.
