Yeah, it's not my car so that's not gonna happen.
You're right. I'm just curious how it compares to others.

I'm just curious that's all.

 

I guess that's good power, but it's not good for the money spent.

1) Is there such thing as an HKS RS BOV?
2) Did you get an AEM EMS because you plan to do a built motor and huge turbo soon?
3) Why would you ever have a low boost setting of 16psi? No reason for that
4) 22psi is nice and conservative but well below what you can run daily on 93
5) You did not only run 1.0-1.1bar stock
6) You shouldn't be near maxing injectors at 22psi
7) Hardened pipes aren't a good next mod

 

Theres the list, now the OP just needs to follow it. Warrtalon, you seem to be losing your edge lately, I remember a time when you would cut someone for this.

 

Yeah when I go WOT at higher RPM's in my MR, my boost guage reads a bit under 1.5 bar. Haven't exactly checked it out too closely, cause I'm too busy driving, haha

 

It should peak at 1.4 bar and taper to 1.1 bar by high rpm. If you are somehow seeing 1.5 bar (21.75psi) at high rpm (7k), then that's a bit strange.

 

What boost do you think you can run on 93 octane?
My injector duty cycles are pretty high already at 21.5psi peak tapering to 20...that is if evoscan is giving me the right injector times.

 

hmm you drove to dfw to get parts installed and tuned at Alamo? when you coulda had someone from your area do the installs and have like MZM tune your car, weird i didnt know they did regular ecuflash but seems like they did a good job on your car, but wat is a hks profec b? hahahahha

 

23-24psi easily, but some whackos run 25-26psi.

IJD shouldn't be high at 21.5psi - are you running rich?

 

He didn't get flashed. He has an AEM EMS for some unknown reason...

 

That is weird, for that 1400-1500 bucks you could have done a lot more, been pushing towards 400 hp at least.

 

oops i musta have over looked that, thanks warrtalon

 

Your EMS doesn't determine the amount of power you put down.
You can run Motec if you want, and you're not gonna make any more.

On my IS300 I like to be at 11.5 but a lot of dudes in the ecuflash forum have been telling me to tune for 11.1 or around there.

Here's a datalog of a 20psi peak run.
It doesn't show above 6k rpm but my duty cycles are listed as being as high as 105%...which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Advice?

 

22 psi is a good number to be tuned for and should be safe on 93oct. Also, 22psi is not stock as someone previously mentioned and 93 octane is not race gas and shouldnt be pushed much past that level IMO. If you want to run 25psi or more then run race gas or meth. Stock boost should be around 19.5 - 20.5 with serious taper. Also I've seen a newer IX that had very low boost 1.1-1.3bar on the stock gauge. I dont know if it was the solenoid or the factory ecu image but we put a forge mbc on it and the car ran fine at 21 psi tapering to 18.5. The owner later checked the car for boost leaks and it didnt have any but I guess it could have had a leak in the solenoid or just a weak solenoid.

I'd like to see some of those guys's logs who run 24psi on 93oct. 3rd gear logs, boost meausured with a map sensor, 93oct... Sounds like a recipe for knock to me.

 

I dont recal saying that EMS determines how much power you make, but whatever. You still can make more power on AEM, just because your tuning will be more precise, but that really dosent matter until you have passed the usefullness of the stock MAF sensor, which happens at about 450 hp. What I said, and you must have misread, what that if the OP had spent the 1400-1500 dollars he paid for his EMS on power mods, such as methanol injection and camshafts, both of which could have been purchased for less that 1500 dollars combined, he would be damn close, if not past, 400 wheel horsepower.

 

I misunderstood my mistake
