Drunkmann Tuning: Evo 8 on 92oct and 9 turbo in Hawaii

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.evo...f69ef0067e.jpg He doesn't get much coverage, so I figured I'd give my impression of my Drunkmann Tuning experience, which was awesome! Anthony is in north Florida, but often travels to other shops in Fl, Pa, and La like he did when he came out here to Hawaii (on the most populace island, Oahu which also has the only AWD dyno). Here's his website: https://www.drunkmanntuning.com For what it's worth, here's my review: Anthony was very competent, professional and easy to deal with. After a good once over of my car, he even completed a new SD map for my car in the parking lot while I adjusted the TPS (crazy, stupid, fast! IMHO). The car was started and ran without a hitch and the folks at Rad Motorsport made it quick and easy moving the car on and off the dyno. Once it was strapped to the dyno and officially on the clock, Anthony really got to work quickly and made me feel like his time in my car (on the dyno) was valuable and my wallet thanks him for that too! The shop charges us by the hour for the use of their Dyno Jet dyno. Also, I really appreciate him sharing his thoughts on how the car was doing and what he was going to do next between pulls. I've been modding the car for the last year trying to get it to a sensible place in the mod path for a tune (it came to me with a stock cb exhaust, broken down pipe, stock FMIC, HKS cams?!?), so I've never really been able to enjoy the car, but now it really flies and I'm really happy with it...for now lol! Thanks Anthony! Here's my mod list: 2005 Evo 8 tuning through ECU Flash, stock ECU (SD Map). Evo IX turbo Forced Performance exhaust manifold Invidia 3" Oxygen (O2) sensor housing Invidia 3" down pipe and test pipe HKS sport 3" cat back exhaust HKS 272 Cams w/ ARP Head studs Perrin air intake and air filter FORGE manual boost controller Spool'n Up COP w/ NGK BPR8ES plugs gapped to .020 Tial QR VTA BOV Nisei upper intercooler pipe (UICP) Buschur Racing lower intercooler piping Buschur Racing 3.8" front mount intercooler ACT clutch and flywheel WORKS (ported) 65mm throttle body Walbro 255 fuel pump FIC (high-z) 1100cc injectors+resistor box delete A couple of notes here: 1. The dyno software was just updated to WinPep 8 and Anthony estimated the hp/tq was reading about 10% lower than his (multiple) previous trips. 2. The dyno's AFR seemed to be pretty consistently off by +.5 from the dyno graph. The first dyno graph is with the map he made in the parking lot @19-20psi (first pull). The last one is also the last pull @ 25-26psi where we left it. |
