How can Vishnu offer V380 (making a claimed 380HP) on a stock car??? WTF?

 

a flash is added to an otherwise stock car buddy.

 

Yes, I know it is only a flash.

My point is, that other tuners need to have TBE, boost controller, etc. in order to make 350-380Hp, yet Vishnu is saying that with a completely stock car (and their flash) it can make 380HP right then and there?

Does that mean with TBE, intake, boost controller, etc. the car could be making 450HP or something?

Hope you see what I'm saying... if Vishnu can make a completely stock IX + flash go to 380HP, that must mean they are ONLY tuner able to do that... others only say about 20-30HP at most with a flash. Assuming a stock car pushes 300HP (already optimistic) that means Vishnu's tune is adding 80-100HP!!!

Is that even possible?! Anyone dyno'ed this flash?

 

380 est. engine HP not to the wheels.

 

Hum... whats the loss on our drivetrain? 10%? 15%? 20 even?

 

about 30% give or take a few.

 

if you go to their site they have a dyno run showing the gains. check it out.

 

stock evo 9 makes 225 whp. (on dyno jets most cars make 260whp) the flash has gone as high as 275+ whp. This is a gain of 50 whp. the correction factor between the dyno dynamics dyno and a dyno jet is 1.13% = 56 whp(dyno jet hp) multiply that by standard evo drivetrain loss .. well say arround 20% equals 70 crank hp. 300 + 70 is well 370. Bottom line its very close to 380 crank hp.

 

I have imported a EVO IX GSR direct from japan as i live in Mauritius (indian OCean).
Not respecting US exaust regulations maybe other regulations too.
Do you think that stage 0 (vishnu) is ok?

 

if you always wanted the evo to come out of the factory nearly as fast as an c5 z06 in the 1/4 mile then yes.

 

I ran 13.207 at infineon raceway with my stock IX MR with just an xflash by shiv..... v380 flash is worth the money.....[ I ran 14.106 without the flash].... don't need a dyno to tell if I gained power.... let my timeslips be the judge..... thanx shiv....

 

I ran my bone stock IX SE against my friends v380 GSR and... there's no difference between the cars.

And on top of that, his gas mileage sucks now.

 

There's something wrong with your friends Evo IX GSR. Despite the issues I had with knock, there was no question that the v380 produced a boat load more power over stock with my Evo IX.

I suggest that your friend do a boost leak check, and maybe take a look at the spark plugs. Would also be a good idea to get EvoScan and log some runs to see what's happening with load and timing.

 

He thought that he felt more power too after the flash. Needless to say, he wasn't happy after we raced, so he had it looked at. There's nothing wrong with it.

And on top of that, Shiv locks the ECUs so you can't go anywhere else. Once you get it flashed by them, you have to go back to them.

 

The v380 isn't one of these sort of semi-perceptible changes in power. Its a significant change that leaves no doubt. So, I still say that there's something wrong with your friend's car, or perhaps the flash was too aggressive for the CA 91 Octane. I was initially getting 24.5-25 psi causing the motor to knock on 92 Octane and pull timing. I suggest that your friend hook up a boost gauge (if he hasn't already done it), and also monitor the ECU with EvoScan to see what's happening.

With the arrival of ECUFlash, no flash can be considered locked any more, not even Vishnu's.
