I just bought my first Evo 8. It was built and tuned by Dynotech Tuning, a place I've grown to love. But unfortunately nobody remembers how much whp my car is pushing and, I don't have an opportunity to get dyno'd anytime soon. If you could help my get an idea of what she should be pushing I would greatly appreciate it.

Has a Evo 9 turbo, not sure how much boost it's pushing. I am deployed and had my parents pick it up for me.....

 

I would say low 300's to mids....rough guessing

 

There is no way to even estimate if we don't know the psi. But yeah I would have to say it's capable of making at least 300whp, probably more.

 

I was told its running a safe tune so ill just assume for conversations sake it's at a decently fun daily driver psi. What would that be around?

 

Low 300's I would think

 

Yeah, I agree, low 300's

Those cams are really too big for a ix turbo IMO.

 

Who's car did you buy we can look up what it did here.

I was talking to Jamie and he told me what he thought but I don't think he looked it up lol
It's Nick Provost's Evo 8. Thanks Brian.

 

Agreed about the cams, I also heard the Megan manifolds are prone to cracking....but yeah 300ish ive seen 380 with e85 and bolt ons and cams

 

My 8 was running a pretty close setup to yours besides the injectors/and I was running 272 cams. Vehicle was making 360whp @19psi on a dynapack system.

 

i got tuned on stock ecu to 330whp on pump 93, mods include:

evo ix turbo
map o2 dump
3" tbe
1000cc injectors
stock intercooler stock piping
24psi/ forge boost controller
no name intake

on e85 at 28psi it made 377whp

so im guessing somewhere low to mid 300's depending on psi like mentioned.

 

Boost by gear on a 9 turbo is over kill.

 

I 100% disagree on boost by gear being overkill. First off, small frame, fast spooling turbos will benefit from minimizing boost levels in 1st gear since they can spool fast enough to actually cause traction issues, especially on street tires and good old fashion pavement. 2nd, 2 & 3 gear can generally run a bit more boost without the onset of knock due to the short gearing. 4th & 5th gear tend to overboost with the average MBC since the gearing is so long. This means an optimized 3rd gear tune might be too aggressive for 4th & 5th. The boost can be dialed back a hair in each gear to combat this. I would call it a 'useful tool', not overkill.

-Jamie

P.S. I still need to look up the graph but I'm fairly certain this car put down around 330whp weather corrected on our Mustang Dyno, which is about the most we generally see on a stock 9 turbo on pump gas on our dyno. This equates to around 373whp on a dynojet using SAE weather correction in comparison to our dyno. Uncorrected numbers will be all over the place since ambient temps and other weather conditions can have a huge effect on the results.

 

"Daily driver psi" doesn't tell us anything
