That wouldn't fix anything because its not like hes running extra boost or timing to compensate for the rich afr...

 

A car that to me obviously has some type of defect... To run the car with more dangerous tuning specs is not the way to go. I've been tuning EFI for close to 10 years.

 

I respect your decision to keep the fuel conservative, didn't mean to make waves.

 

Np, don't mean to sound standoff-ish, but I feel like I've been placed on the chopping block, and this internet drama is tiring.

 

please kill this thread, its so annoying, take the god-damnn car in and get it checked out. i have a fungus on my baaallll s does anyone know what it is

 

SE is great and I have seen a ton of great tunes come out of there but you may want to take you car over to bryan@gst and see what he thinks. Not that he is a better tuner but he might have some different insight for you to start narrowing down the problem. Because there is a huge problem. You should hit those numbers with just a tune and drop in filter.

 

actually the graphs are pretty cool...

good afrs very strong boost curve which stays above 20psi at 7000rpm...but the power its not there!

i heard many opinions here about the engine, rings, leaks etc etc... if this was the case the car would smoke or burn oil etc etc...

seeing these graphs it makes me believe even more that there is something with the turbo flow! i would do what i said before... check the manifold/turbo area... the flow simply its not there...

also something that someone suggested and i agree as i have the same air filter... use only the side part of the induction box and leave it open from above and use the OEM air scoop to help with the air...

cant wait to see the source of the problem!!!


Mellon i dont think the leaning of afrs is the solution to his problem! with 11 flat afr he could make more than 300whp...

i make 309whp on the same type dyno without a green, with cams and a cat not a testpipe with afrs high 10s and 22psi... this is what he should make without the cams and close to 330-335 with cams!

 

 

My cars power isn't where it's supposed to be either. I still can't figure it out. It pisses me off.

 

If the car runs well, but just doesn't make the power, there could be an obstruction in the intake (dirty filter) or exhaust (extreme corrosion in muffler, etc.). My Camaro last year made 280 whp on the dyno when it should have made 350+. It seemed to run fine and this only appeared on the dyno during a tuning session. AFR was okay, all cylinders okay, etc. Turned out that the air filter was dirtier than it appeared. Gave that K&N a good cleaning and the car picked up over 70 whp on the next pull.

 

+1 can't wait to see the source of the problem. I have this turbo and I make killer power for my mods.

 

A stock turboed Evo with a 10.5 hotside running meth at 30psi will make "around" 400awhp. 50awhp is a big difference!

 

Not to take anything away, but so has the stock turbo..

 

maybe you were running leaded fuel through the cat or o2 sensor is jacked because of it? Just throwing out ideas

 

WHOA WHOA WHOA!!! I'm not trying to bash the tuner (Andy). I'm sure he is a great tuner, maybe what i should have said was to get a better tune with better products. There's no need for you to explode like that, i've never bashed anyone on here and dont intend to start. I honestly was giving my opinion to try to help him, and i appologize if i offended you and Andy.
