if you have e85 in the area, jump on the bandwagon, that stuff is magic for turbo cars.

apparently one of the moderators decided to take it upon himself to delete half of the thread to only show the 10's in one area and 8/9 in another area so I'm going to post the whole thing here so it's all together.

I just wanted to share some results from my recent trip to Houston to tune some cars. Big thanks to Tom for putting me up, shuttling me around, Anthony for shuttling us around to breakfast/lunch/dinner and Huy at ILR (Inline Racing) for letting use his shop as base camp, tools, food and drinks etc.. and especially my customers, you guys are the best and I can't wait to get back.

On some of these cars I did a baseline pull before I got started tuning to see if I was making an improvement or not over their previous setup/tune.

Friday:
customer: Tom
username: TakaseEVOIXSE
2006 EVO9 5-speed
walbro
RC 1000
wb02
tbe test mani
ETS 3" FMIC
HKS 272 ex -1 deg retard
35R
4" intake to MAS
shep 5 speed
DLL 93 26.5psi 471/373 (has made 500 on 28 but lowered)
DLL c16 35psi 551/443






Customer: Ariel
Username: unknownevo
2003 EVO8 5-speed
walbro
93 octane
24psi
tbe test
rnr fmic uicp licp intake
HKS 264
10.5 hotside
9 bov
DLL 329/324 was 311/306 previously tuned by another shop





This one puzzled me, it didn't want to make the power it should. Usually I can get this much ore more on straight 93 octane, I figured it would do well into the 400's on meth. It was at 18psi and another tune when it came to me, at least we got some massive gains.

Customer: Kevin
Username: planetboy200
2005 EVO8 5-speed
walbro
PTE 880cc
wb02
93 + Meth (aquamist HSF-1)
29 psi
tbe test
ams fmic uicp licp intake
GSC S1 272
FP Green

DLL 376/370 was 327/271






Saturday:

27psi We tried for more but it was struggling and power dropped slightly
tbe test 02
AGP FMIC
3076R
DLL 456/380





unfortunately Anthony aka Lanevo03 had a transmission failure that kept us from doing his tune, we're going to try again next time I'm there or do it remotely. Andy stepped up in his place even though he had a slick tune by another tuner. He wanted to see if I could squeeze out more though.

Customer: Andy
Username: Lowness
2003 EVO8 5-speed
twin walbro
RC 1200cc
wb02
e85
31.5psi
tbe test 02 mani
tb mani ams fmic ets intake uicp licp
HKS 264/272
FP Red forge 18psi spring
482/433 was 438/391






Chase's EVO10 came to me with a downloaded free base tune designed for a lower octane IIRC.

Customer: Chase
Username: chase123
2008 EVO10 5-speed
wb02
93 octane
25 psi
tbe test filter
DLL 308/325 was 268/286 untuned



Unfortunately David aka PwrEvo had something come up and couldn't make the trip to me, we'll do his either remote or local when I come back.

thanks again everyone for choosing Mellon Tuning!
