Just wanting to get an idea of how much power the pfc might give me

current mods are

3" TB exhaust

eboost2 ebc currently on 9psi

Pod

FMIC

everything else stock besides HD clutch

I had a dyno of those above mods done at xspeed an it got 262.9 horsepower, seems alot for the mods so maybe an error/happy dyno. or is that possible?

Any ways with the addition of the apexi power fc (probably going to go for 13 psi do you think its safe for stock turbo) how much extra do you think i will get?

Tuning will be at hyperdrive

Cheers :P

No it doesn't

i have looked through that countless times, i didn;t find one that had a dyno for the same mods then later another dyno run from the same car with an added pfc,

190rwkw is maybe a tad high.

But you might be one of the lucky ones who's ECU doesnt fritz out easily (some do, some dont etc) :P

You probably wont realistically make much more outright power.

However the power delivery, midrange and so on will be much improved with the cleaner and sharper AFR's. And this will make the car feel a punt load better in the midrange.

Tuning id say around $500 with a stock turbo, yours would be pretty much run of the mill so not difficult as say... a really modified setup which would be $800+

Id limit the boost to around 11-12psi at the most. Not worth the risk really.

Work it out this way .. Every car is different however.. Totally agree with Ash ^

PFC more tuning ability

YOu dont have a FPR, your running close to stock boost, Stock injectors and stock turbo.

So the only basic thing you've got going for the car is the FMIC where you can put more timing into it and the PFC.. Turn up the boost to 11-12psi.. You could run into the 200rwkw area.

Depends on health of engine and how lean your run etc but a safe tune can net you somewhere in that area.

If you want to go on the cheap put a FPR in .. put up the presure and run the injectors at high rates.. you'll net some more power for cheap cost and be able to pump more boost. At your current stage in time I would highly recommend a nice new pump

i hear alot on hear that a fpr is useless at this stage

Anyways thanks for comments ash and decim8

The engine had 66,000 genuine log booked kms on it completly stock and its immaculate so engine should be perfect

I will post the results on the weekend for all to see

Yeah i would love to get another loan out and do a gt35 ugrade.

But all i hear from other people i know is that i spend way to much money on my car especially the misses.

What happened to my freedom

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
