I had an initial dyno tonight with 249.65. hp and 230.87 tq . This is with the jwt popcharger and crawford plenum.....straight pipes on next.....
I had been slightly concerned with the a/f ratios and the dyno came up with 14.2:1 @ 4300 rpms, so I guess it's a good thing, and much more cost effective than a reflash, which I don't want to have to do until I get a TT.

Also, did you dyno before the pop charger and plenium install?

no i didn't dyno before the plenum and popcharger......really wish i had though. And no, my straight pipes haven't made it on the car yet. I will install them this afternoon. I wish I could afford to dyno after every mod, but at 85.00 a pop it's not economically possible. I will do my next dyno with straight pipes, borla exhaust, and corrected a/f at 13:1

Chris, I'm really impressed with what your approach to moding your car. Reason being is, I think the conventional thinking (at least mine) is install air intake and plenium and that s all that’s necessary to get hp gains. But it appears that’s not true. Airflow is improved but the F/A ratio is lean as a result. This can’t be good. And I wonder if this is why people are not seeing/feeling the gains they expected (and some cases losses). So I'm anticipating your dyno results.
I'm sold on this approach unless someone can provide some negative criticism of e-manage system (danger/reliability/ etc.)
If I can find time this spring I will be adding a plenium and e-manage in addition to my existing pop charger.

ok, just got the e-manage in the mail today, opened it up and realized I can't read a word of the instructions!! Could anyone point me in the right direction to find the translated wiring diagrams?

Chris,
Can you log the emanage data while your on the dyno? This way you can compare the emanage A/F to the dyno A/F.
Or maybe, prepair 2-3 maps before you go to the dyno and change the map while you are on the dyno.
Just a thought I've never dynoed so I dont know how practicle this is.

That could not have been the case. The MAF would have accounted for exactly how much fuel to inject vs. the amount of air actually being ingested.
A couple of things could have transpired here.
1. Long term fuel trim has walked away from the value for which you originaly tuned the eManage to.
2. Your car did not see the same load on the DynoJet vs. on the road when you tuned it. In essence, it was not hitting the cells you modified in eManage.
These are some of the growing pains for dealing with a 'piggy back'.
With respect to power gain for NA application ... correcting AF yield minimal power gain, unless you were so far off the chart. If you do it ... do it for the health/reliability of the engine in mind, rather than power gain. Tweaking with Ignition timing advance is where the hidden power's at. Unfortunately, the eManage is not capable of advance timing.
Christ,
Just curious ... when was the alst time you performed an ECU reset.

And about the growing pains with the piggyback.. Have you ever had this experience?
Interesting thread
