I was there last weekend using the AWD dyno to tune an EVO that we built.

I still call it Pann Auto Dyno I know its Green Light.I will be tuning PowerFC for our customers R33 the week after next.His cousin owns Greenlight so we get a discount on the dyno time

I can rewire the SS box in a a few minutes so it will control fuel unless JWT had SS do something custom just for them.That is easy to find out. I am just wondering it this car is running off of the stock pump and injectors too? He definitely needs some help pretty dang soon and if he cant make it to GTM, we would be willing to help him before his motor goes Kaboom!

I see you are up North.I thought you were closer for some reason.Do not boost this car at all as Sharif has said.Dont even let this car start to spool the turbos or you will be sorry.The car is dangerously lean.It is leanest when you hit your peak boost which is why the car made alot of torque but the mixture is so lean the knock sensor is pulling all your timing which is why you are not making horsepower.If you didnt have a knock sensor,then you probably wouldnt have an engine right now that actually still in one piece!!!!!!Get your car to GTM or a reputable tuner immdiately.That was your warning.If you drive it and get on it for the rush you get from the torque, it will pop very soon.Good luck.

As Sharif and TurboTim stated, DO NOT BOOST THE CAR, bring it over and we can get you all fixed up In case you didn't know we have a AWD Dynojet in-house.

Give us a call or shoot me a PM if you have any questions.

OP-

You should really contact VRT and tell them you brought it to another dyno and send them this graph. They should be the ones that fix the problem.

Unless manual mode locks the torque converter at all RPM's, then it would not make a difference.

i would call vrt if i were you and see if they can come to some sort of conclusion for you outside of the obvious fact that "manuel" is clueless about tunning lol...

first they will tell you that you took that chance going to a shop in mexico lol.. then they will ask you how much your willing to spend to get you back on the right page!...

ladies an gentlemen, its all money talk from here.. or pitty

When I read the first post , i really thought it was a joke, honest.

Having read the rest of the thread...I wish you the best...Sam will make things right i am sure.

is this the car they are using to transplant the AWD into the coupe at VRT?
