My first Dyno with Vortech and Kinetix hi-flow cats
Very plesaed! The car hasn't been tuned since the Vortech was fitted.
Here's my run - http://www.stephengrant.com/350z/video/dynoday.wmv

Very rich - up to 5000 revs it was around the 14 - 15 mark. After that, it was off the gauge!
Don't forget in the UK the car starts with a bit more power and that we can use 99 octane fuel.
EDIT - just saw what you asked. Yes, is untuned, but no, this is crank hp, not whp. I'm still pleased though

If that is not tuned then it is about 20 RWHP higher than the ave stock Vortech dynos. Also what kind of dyno was that on? Does that dyno show higher numbers than a Dynojet? We need to see a dyno before the Vortech install.

Stop driving that thing hard, 14-15:1 is VERY LEAN for FI!! BTW I thoguht that might by crank hp, still decent, but sounds to me like you really need a tune bad. You went off the chart lean !?!

Well, I drive it very lightly (with the exception of the dyno yesterday) so I won't have hurt it normally, but thanks * 1000 for letting me know!
I'm new to FI. Can you tell?

Lay off the throttle...your engine will fail soon otherwise. Get the car tuned asap!! You are waaay to lean. You need to be less than 12:1 to be safe on a FI car...preferrably around 11:1..

Nope. It would be slightly pointless anyway as the car is *not tuned* - I'm currently only monitoring it to make sure the car is not in a dangerous situation. However, the part that is making incorrect readings is not the gauge - it's the driver!!!

by the way..
Our 93 octane is the equivalent to the European Super Unleaded..
the octane units and the way it's measured are different. So your fuel would be probably 93 octane if it were converted to RON US equivalent. You can search for the formula to find out the conversion, I don't know it.
Anyway, just mentioning this so you don't trust the fuel to be a buffer for any tuning issues you have. High octane won't solve your AF ratio problems, it would help with timing to make more power but not AF ratios.

OK - I didn't know that - and am somewhat sceptical seeing as many European cars have higher manufacturer stated BHP as they are tuned to the higher octane fuel. If the octanes were identical this wouldn't be the case. Unless it's an emissions issue?

Pfff Val
Just checked with the tuners and that's all fine... the AFM reading of 14/15 is on idle. Under load it sits around 11/12 which is where it should be - I gave the impression that it was at 14/15 on load, which of course is not the case!
So I'm back to being a happy bunny
