D-day. Getting my car dyno tuned tomorrow... Update: Results are in!

[JamesFoster]

Pretty excited to get 674 dyno tuned tomorrow. After doing some research, I've decided I'm having Beau Brown do it. From what I can tell he seems to be the most proficient at tuning ECMlink cars in Southern California.

Any tips? Apart from the obvious, bring tools and extra spark plugs, etc...

Definitely take a dyno video would be nice to see how it does.

Srsly. I'm excited to see what kind of power that beast puts down. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rock.gif

Why not Tedspec? Or is he in northern California?

 

[Steve885]

He's in northern Cali

Make SURE you've fixed ALL of your boost leaks and fluid leaks before even thinking of strapping the car down. Also, know when to stop. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Beau is an awesome tuner. He street tuned two of my prior dsms. Very knowledgeable. I was unaware he was able to now dyno tune. Make sure to post up the results ASAP! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Results are in. 550awhp/440awtq at 26 psi on e85. Why only 26 psi you ask? We were having ignition issues, due to the Dynatek arc-2 not working and subsequently causing spark blowout when we tried to turn the boost up any higher. Once I get the ignition issue sorted out, the car should easily make 600+hp, which is the ultimate numbers goal, although I'll probably keep the boost at 21-26psi most of the time.
Realistically I'm very happy with the results, and I don't want to push the car too hard because I don't want to break anything. I think 550awhp is pretty awesome considering it was relatively "low boost" and we were fighting spark blowout. I had to gap the plugs down to .017 for now!
Dyno Video (this is actually a dyno pull where the car made 510whp I think, I didn't get the 550 pull on video.):

Numbers:

I had to add another spring to the wastegate the day before. Was at .7 bar (10psi) now at 1.3 bar (17.5psi)

I bet you were loving the drive home in that! Would you mind posting up a log of one of the good pulls? I'd like to see what it all looks like...

I agree. I forgot to say this in the post above, but I'm extremely impressed with Beau and would highly recommend him. He's very smart and really knows his stuff. I'm sure the fact that he works at AEM helps quite a bit. Also, we rented a dyno for him to tune the car on, but they gave us a great deal, he knows them pretty well I think.

I definitely will. I'll have to do a pull and log it with my computer because he used his computer to tune it and for those pulls.

So impressive !! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

NICE numbers dude.

 

[JCorbo25]

Great numbers! I bet it feels really good to finally rip into it.

 

[thecman02]

That is definitely awesome. I had a question though, don't you get bad wind noise with your roof rack? I only went about a day before I just had to put a fairing on mine.
