In Michigan a local tuner (Godspeed now known as tuner factory inc) put her on a Dynapack Dyno today and did a re-tune, the results were......... at 19psi on 93 octane we got 344 AWHP at 6850 rpm (gain of 24.6 hp) and 292 ft/lb at 5498 rpm (a gain of 31.9) Mods are in my signature. Graphs below.......

 

nice man.

i just bought me an aem ems(for 700 bucks!!!!) and then im gonna get a re-tune.

hopefully put down over 300whp with intake,exhaust, and lower ic pipe.

What GT30 are you running?

 

nice numbers

 

why only 7k? looks like you could have gone to atleast 8k

 

Is this good? The torque is very low, and the HP is about what you'd get on a stock turbo. Is there a reason for only 19psi, or did I miss something? I do know that Dynapacks don't read any lower than Dynojets on average, so it's not a case of a low-reading dyno or anything.

 

I agree. I am currently making 330 torque with the most basic bolt ons... and my horsepower does not seem to be quite different either. Maybe shoud've gone with the GT35R?

 

Well I bought the car with all these mods done, I was thinking myself that the numbers werent that great afterwards............ The tuner stated he wanted to keep boost at 19 psi to be a "safe tune" I run 93 oct so I belive 22 psi is safe right??? What do you guys think pay another tuner????

 

Probably because he has no way of tuning the timing properly since emanage is a piggy back. He cant really take full advantage of the turbo. Also those turbos produce torque differently from stock turbos. I had a 60-1 garrett on my SI pushing 9psi hp was 341 and 218 torque. Friend had a type r same compression bottom end same motor size but had a greddy turbo kit with 18g. He was on 11psi the torque was 279 and his hp was 293.

 

Your questions here tell me you have no business with an Evo that has a big turbo like that.

Running 19psi on an upgraded turbo is an absolute crime. I don't think the tuner has any clue what he's talking about. Yes, you can run 22psi on 93oct with the stock turbo, but I have no idea what that turbo should be running. It's bigger than stock, so it should be running a good bit more boost than stock, too, otherwise it's being wasted.

Find some guys on here who have that turbo and pick their brains...

 

I hear what you're saying, but those are completely different cars. It shouldn't be like this on an Evo at this power level. I'm pretty sure the lack of torque is due to the lack of boost - that's where we get our torque, and his boost is lower than stock.

 

I am just telling you what he said about being safe, I myself thought 19 psi was not good, he suggested of course more parts to be able to get the higher psi, intake manifold and intercooler. And possibly a AEM engine management to get the full benefit and tuneability.

 

So about adjusting boost with my emanage is as simple as putting it to 22 psi or so? or do i need to adjust A/F?

 

I have no clue. I don't know why that combo of mods was put on there. You should just have an MBC and a flash or something. Yeah, AEM EMS will work great, but good gracious, that's a lot of money and is very complicated. I'm sure you could get rid of that E-manage, add a Forge UNOS MBC, and get a custom Dynoflash then make a ton more power than you are now without spending much money at all.

Adding an intake manifold and FMIC have nothing to do with allowing you to run more than 19psi. What's wrong with those guys?

 

I agree, sounds like the tuner is trying to take you for a ride. You should be more than safe to run that turbo at 22-21 psi on 93 octane with a proper tune. I would also ditch the e-manage and go with a flash. Just my 2 cents.
