im not trying to go all out on building this car right now so im just doing some bolt ons before i tune it and im wondering what numbers i should expect.
My car is a 05 MR
Mods so far:
TBE
intake
MBC

before i tune im getting:
intercooler pipes, walbro fuel pump

it will be tuned on 91 gas because thats all i can get in cali.

with this setup, if i have them turn the boost up to like 23-25 psi, what numbers do you think i can put down, hoping for like 320 maybe?


also im wondering if i need to get bigger injectors before i do this or if the stock ones would be fine??

thanks guys i dont really know anyone with evo's so any help i can get from people who have experience with building/tuning evo's is much appreciated

 

if its on a mustang dyno your looking around 280ish id say

 

what setup do you have that got you 339 on 91oct?

 

that was vd dynojet numbers comes to around 300 mustang dyno
mods were 9turbo,ets 3.5fmic,TBE,V7 with ecu boost,LICP,buddyclub 272's,and open filter

 

oh ya 23psi peak about 21 redline

 

whos doing the tuning?

 

im not sure yet but theres a nice place right by my house called Driving Ambition, they are known for their work on NSX's, but they do tuning on anything, they built a crazy 700HP turbo NSX track car.

 

ur mods on VIII turbo you'd get maybe 300 whp on mustang...

 

Oh ok nice. Well isn't the 05 MR turbo the same as a 9 turbo

 

No. It's still the smaller turbo with a 10.5 turb housing. Don't worry about what numbers you make...they dont mean anything...worry about finding someone who knows our cars well. If you can't find a good shop that tunes Evos often, you should go with distance tuning with Mellon or VRSF.

You are somewhat close to GST in Hayward...they would be a trustworthy place to bring ur car to get tuned. They have a mustang so be prepared for lower #s, but thats not really important. You wont need bigger injectors for those mods either

 

Nope 8 have diffrent comp covers. Id hit up a evo known shop FFTEC,GST, Boosted Tuning does my tuning (road tune) and always does a great job and very good pricing also your going to whant to convert to the tephra V7 rom lots of good features.

 

Ok thanks guys how much do they generally charge for what I want?

 

dyno tune with boost leak test probly around $500 if they install fuel pump and ic pipes add maby 150-200 more

 

oh ok not bad. i cant wait for some power

 

I had about the same setup as you when I first got tuned (05mr).

I strongly suggest you get cams then a tune. Cams makes so much difference on our evo8 engine, because evo 8 has weaker intake cams compare to evo 9.

In the future if you want more, then do the turbo.

Listen to my advice and you won't regret it.
