yeah its definitly a safe tune..i just wanted to know is there a point of going with more power on stock block, or just waiting for builit motor

again i want to thank z1 that did my install, i could not be happier
oh yeah i recommed robert at z1 to anyone. he is agreat fellow that knows his stuff!!!!

 

I wouldn't push the motor more than is needed. I have seen 400 hp on these motors be too much and I have seen guys running 440-450+ without issue. once you get to upper 300's - lower 400's, that seems to be taking the motor out of the comfort level.

 

I agree with zivman. dont push your motor seeking for crazy power. I'm sure you have a very conservative tune. enjoy it as is till you build the motor.

btw, what dyno did you use? post the dyno sheet.

 

Being your first turbo car I would be happy with the safe 360 numbers. Guys have reached higher numbers. Like Ziv and others have said, guys have ran 400+ for many miles and other can't make it out the door(you know what I mean).

Be safe and have fun with the new car. Take some vids

 

We have a DynoJet 224x.

 

are you guys even a unichip tuner, last time i talked to russell yall werent.

 

Yes, we are authorized Unichip Tuners.

it just happened then.

 

About 6-7 months.

 

I was getting 365WHP at 9psi with NO tune... I just plugged the unichip that's it.. I have a boost controller and I usually set the boost at 11~12psi.. So, I guess I was pushing about 380~390WHP with APS's base map loaded unichip... I drive pretty aggressively.. I drag at the strip, I take my car to the circuits, and I drift... No problem with my stock engine so far..

 

Did you just sell your ST? your sig just changed...

 

Yeah, I sold it to a friend locally. Moving on to bigger things.. more HP!! I might stay in APS family though... APS TT... Haven't 100% decided yet..

 

ill post up the sheet soon, i guess i have to find a scanner? they still ahve scanner these days? lol
unless Robert @ z1, wouldnt mind posting them for me?

if so that will be great!

 

 

thanks robert!

 

not true, the reccomended tuning from aps is around 8 or 9 psi which is completely safe. of course there are risks when introducing fi to a na vehicle but 9lbs does not increase the chance of your motor popping.

 

well, how do you like ur new power so far? ....let us know..

 

Robert, did you dyno his car prior to the installation? I like to see the before and after graphs especially since it's on the same dyno.

 

how you liking that plenum and controller? i thought you were gonna call me yesterday.

 

to be honest, i love the power, its really nice. im really impressed

1. even though im tuned at 9lb of boost, sometime i see over 9 lb,such as 9.4, 9.8, or even 10.0 something. is that completely safe???

2. Tig488 - i love the boost controler, thanks alot, and also love the plenum, i got painted flatblack..

3) a buddy of mine was traveling behind me, and i had gunned it on 3rd gear, and closer to redline i switched, next thing you know when i switched to 4th gear, big pluck flame came out the exhaust..
what happen their??
