well picked up my car from the shop today. Wow this car is running great, Big tuning issues were a big part of why the car was runnning so poor. When I bought the car the guy told me it was hitting 325whp. Well I changed the pulley to a 10lb pulley (still only getting max of 7lb boost? not sure why, maybe I need to go smalller. On the Mustang dynometere it peaked at 328whp and 208torque. This car seems almost twice as fast as it was before, so I dont think he was telling the truth with the 320whp before. Not a big deal though. Just figured Id share my happiness

 

Congrats on rolling again!



what exactly were the issues with the car? You mention big tuning issues...ecu?

 

THey had to clean up the mapping, had to reconfigure cranking maps. It was running extremely high timing at low rpm's. Also the wideband wasnt working inside AEM. He also changed the acceleration fuel to prevent lean spots and tweaked the vtec kick-in and fuel added upon engagement of vtec. not sure what any of that means but that was on my bill. This shop has always done great with my cars, and im very pleased still.

 

Wow that was messed up. Maybe the reason for the cheap initial purchase?

 

It actually drove great when i bought it. I drove home form detroit and not one problem. When i put the invidia exhaust on i guess it magnified all the other problems. 328whp at only 6.5 lbs of boost. What do you think?

 

niccee glad to hear your back on the road, now give me another ride in the vortech s2k

 

well I have to run to groton at some point tommorow so I will give you a call.

 

YES , I mentioned before the exhaust would change you AFR and would need a retune ...


I would check your boost Gauge , your numbers are correct for a 10lb pully , not 6.5 expecialy on a mustang dyno .. You went to ESP correct .. who was the tuner ?

 

Nice, i sure could use an additional 80HP!

 

It's probably more like 100hp since that figure he posted is at the wheels and the 240hp Honda advertises is at the crank.

Would be nice!!!!!
