Everything is set to increase the boost across the range. I am thinking somewhere 10-12psi. Landing at 400whp would be optimal. Still have the tune from last year that ran 42x whp.
What I basically need to do is activate the EBC, get the car to boost the right amount with the right amount of fuel under all circumstances, and then fine tune the partial throttle and ignition.
I do have a fuelsystem that can deliver anything needed, I do have the dual kpro with rsx wideband. I think everything is good to go.


I am leaning towards Evans E-tune. There are very few reviews(althoug 5stars) on their page. Anyone that can vouch for the etune being a good option?

 

Very nice job man.

 

thats a great setup bro. you should mass produce that since there are a few people out there that dont like to run dual pump setups and the aeromotive setup that a lot of guys are running is really expensive.

with that being said its a great job you been doing here dude. always got my eyes open for new updates.

 

Thanks for the nice comments, I will report back when I have made further progress.

 

Small update, nothing spectacular.
Have been roadtuning the car myself and the EBC is on and working.
Boosting 8psi in first, 10 in second and 12psi for 3rd -6th.
Still would need some better partial throttle tuning and improvement with low-high cam movement, but overall running great. Scary power in this car.
Car is running rich overall during load. 11,5-11,7 afr. ignition is only 15-17 degrees. What would be good typical afr and ignition advance numbers to settle for?

 

Your timing is about right. Just make sure it slowly climbs to 15-17 degrees to the top. Your full boost hit timing (probably around 4500-5000 rpm) should be around 8-10 degrees at that low of a boost level and slowly climb to a peak of about 17 degrees at 7500 rpm and hold there to redline. Never run a straight timing curve of 15-17 degrees from full boost hit all the way to redline or BOOM is possible.

A/F's should be in the mid 11's.

 

Applies to E85 aswell? I mean to go as low as 8-10deg at boosthit?
After all I am running pressures many are running on pumpgas.

 

I'd still keep it like that for e85. I'm making around 700 whp and my timing is as follows.......Its around normal timing before boost even comes in, something like 30 deg and as boost starts to come in it slowly drops and then when full boost hits at 5000 rpm its at something like 6 deg and slowly climbs back up to a peak of 19 deg at 7500 rpm and holds there to 9450 rpm. I am also on e85. With you running less boost and power, you can get away with around 10 deg of timing at full boost hit and then slowly climb to about 17-19 deg at around 7500 rpm and hold there to redline with e85. You never want a lot of timing at full boost hit. You want it to hit soft and then increase the timing as rpm goes up. I've seen way too many people set their full boost hit timing at like 15-17 deg and just hold it there all the way to redline and they blow their engines. Thats just way too hard of a hit of timing at full boost hit and is cause for a blown engine.

 

No new info really, just a few plans for the season.

Car is out for the 2011 summer. Runs great.
I still have some minor tuning tweaks to do.
Considering to visit a dyno this summer. Just to confirm and settle my maps for good.

The only "bad" thing about the car is the CC stage 4 clutch which is more of a challenge to drive than the stock clutch.
When I got it there were not many proven candidates to choose from. Maybe there is more now?
Something more driveable.

I am very happy with how the manifold and exhaust works, car is very quiet during normal driving.
Fuel system doesnt fail either.

And scary fast as always, I would not want more power to this package.

 

Good to hear. Look into the SoS Carbon clutch.
