Finally got my car on the dyno this past weekend. 5 hr drive down to Topspeed in Atlanta from Fort Campbell TN/KY area. Luckily my parents live in Atlanta so I had to place to sleep for a few hours and leave my pups occupied. Build thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/al...tle-build.html

double in-tank Walbro 255
ID2000 injectors
E85

Shep trans 4.11FD
AEM wideband

JohnBradley aka Aaron@English Racing tuned

car was tuned to 40 psi. The owner of Topspeed was a little scared to try to hit 40 psi right off the bat so we turned it down to 22 psi and worked our way back up. But for some reason, it did not want to hit 40 psi again. Would not go over 35 psi. So this is the 35 psi pull. Car hit 35 psi @ 4437 RPMs in 3rd and 3968 RPMs in 4th.

Dyno chart is 3rd gear


Here is the video of the pull

Here are two street pulls on VD. One is 36 psi with only me (150 lbs) and the other is 40 psi with a passenger (285 lbs total)


previous numbers
basic bolt ons and BC 272 93 oct 340/333 @ 23 psi
bolt ons and shearer T3 kit 50trim 93 oct 403/340 @ 25 psi
bolt ons and shearer T3 kit 50trim E85 498/421 (i think) @ 30 psi
bolt ons and shearer T3 kit PTE5857 E85 533/424 @ 30 psi *the 22 psi run netted me 520/418 with the new setup

Pretty impressive. What rpm did this setup make peak torque?

4750 RPMs

JDM EVO 6

These 5758 spool very quickly as quick as an fp red but with much more top end congrats.

I had similar probs, with holding boost, what spring combo do u have for the wastegate

Drill_Sergeant

iTrader: (21)

Are you talking about the taper or not hitting desired boost?

I didn't have problems hitting 40 psi until the dyno. Maybe it's time for a new boost controller.

I'm running the 14 psi combo. Exactly as is when I bought the T3 kit from shearer back in 2008.

Nice numbers, fast spool, looks a fun setup!

I very much enjoy 600hp and 500tq

It's normal for boost to drop on the dyno. But like I found out, you wana run at least half the spring pressure of ur Target boost.

I Jus left Campbell, I was on a black converted to external wg, 7psi spring would only get me 7psi, slowly since it opened so soon. So i jumped to 21psi spring and have been able to spool quicker and get my Target of 33-34psi

Yeah I need to up my WG spring. But that didn't cross my mind until after the tuning started. And I didn't want to delay because I wanted it done before I moved. When the next set of changes I'm definitely changing out the springs.

perfect setup, great numbers, can't wait to see what you hit with 40psi.

That's a sweet curve Michael

So you have a VD graph as well from when aaron tuned it?

Drill_Sergeant

iTrader: (21)

I'm sure I have a 35 psi log. Might be -/+ 2 psi.

Drill_Sergeant

iTrader: (21)

I doubt I'll ever be back on the dyno with this turbo. 35 psi is a solid reference for this turbo. Just not worth spending a day to do a few pulls at this point.
