315hp/310lb

 

Close, as I posted on the last page though I pulled 305hp/310tq

 

hel if ino:

Did you manage to find an atm to test the 2step boost, was curious on the times. I took off - had to get home to tuck in the kids

 

What could I get for hp?

3" invidia TBE no cat.
3" o2 housing SS
SS header feeling cheap
fuel pump 255 lb
hks hard pipe intake
hks hard pipe upper/lower
hks ssq
hks FMIC
93oc

05 RS considering my 10.5 hotside w/ flash
same eastscoast

 

Didn't find a damn atm, but the dood let me make a pass... I did ok, ran a 7.96@87 with a 1.72 60ft. I was actually bogging in the hole, didn't do that on the street but I guess I had more grip on the track, it was f'king fast though, almost beat a turbo mustang.

 

if on stock 03 turbo, then 330WHP on Dynojet / 285WHP Mustang dyno.

 

Its kind of funny how things work out in the whp game

Here we have an excited customer obviously looking for good power delivery

Sadly, it was not to be

As a tuner, being able to "feel" and "hear" what a car is doing and having the experience to understand when a car is not right mechanically is what gives you the ability to get good results and avoid disasters

When tuning this car it was clear that the powert was not there given the mods, boost, timing and a/f - looking out the back of the car and seeing the tell tale bluw oil smoke was another clue

I personally conducted a compression test and found a week cyl about 28 psi lower than the others - a swirt of oil brought it right up to the others

on a 4 cyl car = you are not going to make good power on 3 cyls - sorry

My suggestion was to lift the head and hopefully its a head gasket

Obviously, you are at the track racing the car

Hopefully your next step is not pulling the entire motor

Sorry your car did not make the power you wanted but its not going to happen with a weak cyl

 

Al, where are you coming off? I didn't have any problems with the power delivery... it went just fine. I was "hoping" for more, no big deal. Since you mention the smoke, the EVO 9 you dyno'd immediately after mine was exhausting the same amount of smoke, as noted by others watching the dyno. I thought you told me it was 20psi below?? Either way, you can't tell me this is the only '03 evo you have seen to exhibit this kind of behavior, with #3 being low, but within tolerance. It seeming to become more of a "trait" with '03s here and there, not all, but more often now... could that be because of the mileage?? Who knows...

I had no issues with the tune, I love the tune, I love the power, I love the launch control, and the smooth idle, props Al. It should have made more, is all... As far as extracting it, who the hell knows I hav always felt, since day one, that I had a slightly weaker EVO, than fellow EVO owners similar setups... maybe I just need to buy a 9, and have you tune that one right?

 

How much mileage your car have now?

 

1.72 60ft? Man I got to learn that 2 step. I may have to politely show up next week with $40 cash and some smoothies durring some down time.
I ran a 8.045@88.739mph w/t a 1.798 60' (still havent changed stock catback)- I cant figure my ET in respect to mph - shifting?

 

43,xxx

 

damn, trap speed is high, your car sounds pretty damn fast, or maybe I just suck at driving... that is hella good with a stock catback and stock clutch.

 

I think it may be the opposite, I shifted easy. Fast ET in respect to mph = quick shifting
Slow ET in respect to mph = loosing time between shifts
I think shifting speed has more effect on ET than mph
Moreover, I dont trust that track's mph.
Hotside, cams, stiffer WG act, and no boost leaks. My catback has been adulterated: I permanently opened the internal flapper and and beveled the 2.5 flange where it meets the catdelete- helped.

10.5 Hotside alone gave me 0.27 sec in 1/8.

 

Crap, that may be something I will have to look into

 

O2 + 10.5 + Methanol

Or get a 20g-9 and tell me
