Do you have any numbers? Before and after dyno sheets? Please post them if you have them.

 

I can most definatley say there is a significant difference in spool up. And this was with the stock LICP, instead of the RMR LICP i had on there before.

 

I will post up HP numbers from my datalog lab software soon. however, i just came back from buschur, and i did 290hp on his dyno, tunning it my self.

 

That doesn't make sense - others have reported about a 200rpm loss in spool on an VIII. Even if there was a 200rpm gain in spool, it wouldn't be described as "incredible." Interesting...

 

I dont understand too. when i had my stock turbo, i would see 22psi at about 2900rpm. now i am hitting 24psi at around 2800rpm, that is, from what i can see from the gauge. but ignoring the gauge part, i can definatley feel it. I LOVE IT!

 

Gotta love placebo mods.

 

What were your numbers before you installed the 9 turbo?

 

2800 and 2900 rpm? Wtf? Did you mean 3800 and 3900? I never hit that much boost even in 6th gear with any combination of mods.

 

We already went through this before on a previous thread. Thats what i see on the boost gauge.
however, on BR's dyno, i showed 24psi hitting at around 3650 rpm.

 

well, like i said, i want to get my new tune data logged on data log lab to make a direct comparison. last time i averaged out at 340hp and 350 tq on the software.
when i dyno'd it and pure tunning's MD dyno, i made 300hp/312tq with afr @ 11.5. they said its configured to read 10-15% less than a dyno jet.
So i slapped on the evo 9 turbo, removed the rmr licp (will not fit with the 9) and added the rmr uicp.

I just came back from BR's dyno, and i made 289hp/276tq with afr @ 11.8. From Buschur's post, his dyno read about 20-25% less than a dyno jet.

Whats intresting is that i made lower torque than hp this time. It could be because of the stock licp, so i will see.

 

I have n evo 9 Turbo for sale,

pm me with offers

 

Hypothetical question for y'all, and slightly OT:
If a stock Evo8 turbo can make a 2.0L I4 hit full boost (19psi) at ~3250rpm, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that it would make a 2.8L I4 hit full boost (~10psi) at ~2250rpm assuming it had a low-backpressure exhaust and small (stock) cams?

 

No

 

What makes you say that? I figured that assuming similar volumetric efficiencies, both engines should be feeding the turbine with comparable mass flows...

Oh, and btw its C6H5CH3
