What's up everyone. I just set up a date to get tuned on 4-12-06 by Dan at harman motive. I've made up my mind, and ill be running on vp110..
I was wondering if anyone has tuned there 9 on race gas yet??? {Please chim in with hp/tq, what octane, and mods} I wanted to know what kind of numbers I might see? I'm really hoping for 375hp... Am I dreaming?
Current mods are..
Intake, header, o2 housing, catless down pipe, and catback.
Date of tune ill be installing waldbro 255 fuel pump and 720cc injectors and a mbc.

 

what kind of boost are you looking to run?

 

Dan said we would be at about 26/27psi...

 

Run away as fast as you can.

 

????????

 

Sounds kinda high...maybe 2muchboost(haha) anyways...just get some alky and run like 32 psi

 

You should be just fine with 26/27PSI for a dyno session. If you should be close to or right at 375WHP, I don't see why you wouldn't be. So well wait and see, an EVO IX with slightly less mods than yours made 331WHP on pump gas there.

 

Do you plan on running 110 octane on a regular basis? If not, you should get a tune for 91.

What do you plan on using to tune it?

What are you paying?

 

Ill be running 110 from now on. I don't drive the evo a lot. I've had it almost 4months now and I just hit 1900 miles. The most ill drive is 35 miles to irwindale dragstrip
All I'm doing is the ecu reflash, {advance the timing, and turn up the boost.}

 

That's what I was thinking.. If I remember that was a ix mr with drop in filter, o2 housing, downpipe, and catback. And I think he was at 22psi.. So I should be up there...
I was just wondering if anyone else has there ix on race gas?? I wanted to know what there #s look like!

 

i was thinking of alky but since i dont drive the car a lot, ill just do race gas. Its more peace of mind for me.

 

Yeah I would hope you get 375WHP, but you never know, they also tuned another IX with similiar mods and made a shade over 300WHP , I mean the potential is there, I just wish us So Cal EVO owners had a larger selection of tuners that specialize in the EVO. Nothing against Harman Motive, they seem to be a really good shop, but they have not put in the countless numbers of man hours in solely (or atleast mainly) tuning EVOs as other shops have like in the Eastcoast or Mid West. But I am sure they will do a good job, but I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't make 375WHP, now if you took your car to Vishnu, a shop that specializes in EVOs, well over 300WHP (which would equate to 375WHP+ on a Dynojet) on their DD would be easily within reach with his experience and specialization on EVOs, but seriously who wants to drive all the way up there? Why doesn't Vishnu pass his wealth of knowledge and experience onto another and open up a Vishnu shop in So Cal, call it Vishnu 2? Why haven't really successful shops ever considered the possibility of franchising?

 

I know what you mean, we don't have a lot to choose from.
I was there when dan tuned that grey ix mr and I think he did a kick *** job. He spent a lot of time and made sure everything was perfect, and that car made some nice #s! I'm sure we will get close to 375hp.
I wish some guys with ix running race gas would chim in...

 

Should be fine @26-28 with the vp110. Keep us updated, good luck!!

 

Yeah, I'm sure it will be nice.. Ill let you know what happens.
