Here are the dyno graphs from the last time it was tuned almost 3 years ago:




The primary difference between the mods then vs. now are engine management (was on an AEM EMS) and compressor cover (was stock).

 

smoothing of 7, and from my experience this smoothing will show less then what it will on a real dynojet.. i have done around 10 cars back to back on a dyno vs virtual dyno in the past.

 

Congrats Tom more solid work proven again.. That's exactly why when researching remote tuners, I ended up with you. Cannot wait to see what my car makes next week.

 

you could have been more direct regarding which graph and used more of a professional response no? I have posted the 2 graphs in question with a higher smoothing.

This car makes 440's with very high smoothing (7).. so yes the power is maxed just like it seems to be on your vehicle....... minus the tq in your case.

The graphs on the first page were smoothing (3). From my experience anything past a 5 when there's not a spike (which there wasn't on these runs), starts to take away actual hp/tq so i used 3.

Also remember the smoothing algorithm has been modified in the newer VD's. a smoothing of 7 now would be 15~ in the old one approx.

 

No problem! it was a pleasure. you have a very strong car.

A crap ton that's all ill say. Its better you slowly raise it on your car and find your cars personal limitations rather then me give you numbers and you try to run them and hurt your engine.

 

How much of a difference does the FP 25psi actuator make on peak power vs. peak torque?

 

that's a good question I'm not even sure to be honest. Id imagine it helps, but how much i have no idea.

but for example on the stock 9 actuator preloaded to the max lets say at 100% wgdc the turbo is making 25psi at 6k

now if we take the actuator off and put the fp 25psi wga on, then we can get the same result (25psi at 6k) with lets say 30% less wgdc.. so it does make it easier to hold the boost out more.. but i cant answer your question because i dont have any solid data to back it up.

if you want me to post the boost log vs rpm and stuff i can. just let me know.

 

I've got the FP 84 mm cover on my stock turbo.. I'll get a vid when I get my tranny tranny back in

 

I was just curious, I stopped making torque at 21* at redline so I backed it off to 20*

 

How or what do I have to do in order to get one of the FP 84mm compressor housings installed on a stock IX turbo? Thank you.

 

Order the 84mm compressor cover from FP and then swap it with your current cover. Then you would need a larger intake pipe (I opted for the BR 84mm intake pipe) or you could try using your current pipe with a coupler that allows the smaller diameter pipe to be connected to the larger diameter inlet. Best option is the larger pipe for optimal flow.

 

I like how that sounds. I will simply order the compressor cover as well as the FP intake pipe directly from FP to make things easier. I am also assuming that you have a ported hotside and a 3" O2 housing, correct?

 

Hi Tom, nice results, I used to get spikes like that in the green and blue graphs on the first page; in my case it turned out to be a one line data jump in rpm where it would read exactly 1000 rpm lower than it should be and then continue normally. Oviously the engine didn´t go up and down 1000 rpm in .1 seconds, so I just deleted that line or added the "missing" 1000 rpm. The graph then became smotheer and power was a little down from the spike.

Might not be whats happened here, but worth a check. The power will still be kickass I´m sure

Cheers,

Ricardo

 

The previous owner of the turbo I have now apparently had the hotside ported by PPI. I am not sure how good of a job they do. I have an Invidia 02 housing, and plan to replace it with a ToxicFab 02 dump.

 

Those are all fantastic parts, my friend and I am sure that it will further liven up the stock IX turbo for you. From my understanding, PPI does outstanding port work. I am resourcing a brand new stock IX turbo with the 84mm compressor cover from FP right now as I really think it would be a stout combination with a block that has yet to be built. I wonder if anyone has done some back-to-back testing.
