Take the car to the drags again. If your terminal speed is up on last time then no drama.

No harm in having a safe tune, dyno's are only a tuning tool.

Looking at the graph against AFR can help tell you if there is more in it to extract of course, the final number is not important. It is the change in number and it's magnitude across the graph that indicates good things.

Don't get hung up on dyno comparisons, whats the point in having a peice of paper that says 200rwkw if someone can show you one with 170rwkw for the same type of car. A that car is faster and more powerfull where it shows up and where it counts, on the track.I lost count of the number of times I've seen it and the number of people who don't get it years ago.

Just don't sweat it mate.

Well written..i guess it the knowledge of knowing whether your car is running safe and giving you the HP you need. I too don't believe in number...just want my ride to be reliable with many years of joyride left in it. Cheers!

Wot he said above, i agree!! but in saying that every1 would want their car to be making as much pwr at the wheels as possible. I would be disapointed with that personally considering wots been done. Before i put on my pod and was still running standard boost i was making 183rwkws. on my 34 now i got safc2, 3" kakimoto, pod running 0.8 and i made just over 200. Id be getting a 2nd oppinion. Just book it in 4 a pwr run, for like $50 and if ur AFR's are looking crazy on the 2nd dyno get them to do a retune and see wot it gets then. :D

Sounds about right...

Mine's putting out 186 rwkw @ .8 bar on a safe tune with the following mods (also runs 13.9 down the strip @ 100mph on a crap 60ft):

Apexi pod filter

Power FC

Blitz EBC

Front pipe

High flow cat

Cat back zorst

... running standard SMIC and turbo though and wouldn't even contemplate boosting any higher than .8 bar without a turbo that can cope with it.

Cheers.

There seems to be a bit of a pattern here, a lot of the guys that are quoting higher boost levels are actually seeing less power. This seems to indicate that possibly other things need to be changed for it to be worth while running the car at such high boost levels.

I'm not saying this is conclusive, but there is such a thing as too much boost. I'd like to know what would happen with the same car with the boost wound down to more like 10 -12 psi. Perhaps the car is getting excessive knock or something?

Also I'm not sure what pressure the intake valves can take before they start to have trouble shutting, I've heard that this can sometimes be an issue.

Personally just from seeing cars on a dyno day, of the cars that were running high boost levels it was only the ones that were well soughted out that were pulling deacent figures, all others were dissapointed.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
