Official Turbo Upgrade & Dyno Tuned Thread

Most tuners don't like the SPT intake, fyi.

I'd stay out of boost till your tuned.

Does anyone know of a place near Indianapolis or someone who could tune my car? I have a cobbs access port and the tune's are not good after the mods I have done. Its more powerful and quicker with the tune, but has a little knock here and there. With out the tune its much slower but much smoother. most of my crew says the Cobbs tune is so mild I am fine with it one. any suggestions ?

this would be a little bit of a hike, but worth your time and money

I installed a DW 255lph fuel pump and DW 850cc injectors to run E85 last month. Also installed AEM AFR gauge and boost gauge while being tuned for E85. Stock turbo running 18.5 lbs with a Perrin TMIC. Dyno tune produced impressive gains! Red line is on E85, purple on 93 octane.

Just put mine on the dyno with DW65c, catless turbo back, on E85, stock injectors, stock TMIC, stock turbo. I love E85. Cryo tuned still could get more out of her yet 268whp 340tq

Yeah im questioning the reading of the wideband a little since fueling has been pretty solid for months and always had a little rich dip then hit target all the way to redline.

We are gonna take a look at it the next time he's in my neck of the woods. Never can be too safe since it looks like it has a rich dip, then hits target, the goes rich twords redline.

Im very happy with the tune tonight especially with stock fueling! Thanks to Chitown/Midwest Subarus and STI Mikey travelling to Chicago to tune our cars and Proformance Speed Shop and Infamous Tuning for excellent services!!

Unfortunately DW sent me a bad pump again and couldnt get one installed along with injectors for my tune...i will send it back and get my REFUND!!!

ELH is FTW!!

Cobb AP tuned at Cobb Plano. Stock turbo love.

I think that's it haha more to come eventually, going to be building an ej257 shortly for it before getting the bigger turbo and injectors.

Results on mustang dyno: 274 awhp 327awt with improper fuel pressure (43.5psi with manifold pressure instead of with out, rookie mistake on my part) and cracked up pipe at the time.

Just put mine on the dyno with DW65c, catless turbo back, on E85, stock injectors, stock TMIC, stock turbo. I love E85. Cryo tuned still could get more out of her yet 268whp 340tq

That is fantastic! My experience in just talking to tuners, they won't tune you for e85 with stock injectors. I'm thinking why not? If CryoTune Performance is able to pull this off, I highly commend them. I guessed that it is possible, because in order to support e85, you need 2 injector pulses for example, instead of one. Its doable, and that's how these e85 conversion devices work.

Also works out because I'm at a mile high. Down at sea level you cant pull off e85. On stock injectors at least.

yup kbgrizzly nailed it. Elevation is the ONLY reason its possible but we suffer from a lack of air pressure to begin with so it just helps even the loss out.

Very Nice. I'll be joining the 400+ soon, had to stop at 398hp 365tq due to fuel pressure issue up top and Still more boost to Add which Will be Fixed soon

had to do an engine rebuild this past summer (cracked ring piston 4, drinking 2+qts per 3k miles), and while it was in for the work I decided to go stage 3. I had some fueling issues (symptom of a bad MAF, which was just found out and fixed) that didn't show up until after the initial tune. Finally, last week, got the car fixed and retuned. while it was in for being fixed last week, I also swapped my Perrin TMIC for a Grimmspeed TMIC

engine R&R (and all replacements done on the build sheet) done by Underdog Motorsports, as well as managing the engine rebuild and having bodywork done to the car while it was in his hands.

and some upgraded internals. Build sheet also attached, though there are some discrepancies (I am on HTA71 not HTA68). TGVs were deleted (Grimmspeed), and all the stuff that said "recommended" were chosen to be used.

Perrin: 303whp/267wtq @ ~21lbs (I believe, the plot doesn't have it)

GrimmSpeed: 318whp/345wtq @ ~22lbs (these are the numbers he had written down, the numbers on the plot are slightly different)

The car feels awesome, pulls like a train (I'm sure the nice, cool weather helps). The curve also shifted to the left a little bit. When I was tuned originally, it was probably 85deg with 80%+ humidity. I was tuned last week in the cool, dry air. They have atmospheric measurements adjusted in the numbers, though.

The tuner said that along with added boost with the new TMIC, he was able to add some timing.

The colored plot (first attachment) with only WHP/WTQ/AFR is the perrin, the black and white plot (second attachment) with WHP/WTQ/PSI/AFR is the Grimmspeed. The tuner attributed most of the gains to the TMIC, not to fixing the MAF

not true. title should really be Turbo Upgrade and/or Dyno Tuned thread. always good to see different dyno tunes for various, even stage 1/2 setups

While I don't disagree, the original post does not mention anything about posting stock turbo numbers.

On the suggestion of several members, and to help our non-searching brothers, welcome to a hopefully condensed Turbo Upgrade Thread.

 

Please Post the following:

 

Year and Transmission

Turbo (Please include details such as exhaust housing size, etc)

Supporting Performance Mods

 

Please include dyno charts and/or timeslips if you have them.

 

*EDIT* Please keep this ON TOPIC. OT will be deleted and removed.

Perhaps there should be a stock turbo dyno tuned thread however even this thread is redundant since there is now a whole section dedicated to performance and dyno numbers.

Rather than argue since I think you're an okay guy, I'll just post my road dyno tuned results in case folks haven't been following along in my other thread.

2005 LGT

Stock 5MT

AVO 450 BB turbo

E85 self tuned with Cobb AP

I need to upgrade my intake and fuel pump since those are both maxed as they currently sit, but I think this has 450whp in it. Does the bottom end and transmission have the durability, though? That's the question.
