Category : Automobile Performance

Not every day when you get a chance to test a vehicle that is this powerful with exotic flavor and still a grocery getter. In comes this turbo monster on to the rollers to see what kind of numbers it will spit out.

Mods were exhaust and custom bench flash on the ecu.

Test done in sports mode in 5th & 6th gear.

Ambient conditions: 82F, 59% humidity and 29.99 baro.

This chart below a run done in 5th gear 390awhp and 450awtq.

This run is done in 6th gear with the results are 395awhp / 455awtq

This is a Dyno Jet comparison run of the 5th gear

2015 Infiniti Q40 – UpRev calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

Gentleman contacted me since he just picked up this used vehicle and wanted to make sure it was operating correctly since it seemed that it was previously modded.  the first step he did was take it to dealership to replace the oem ecu since it was throwing some codes. Once that was done he brought the car to us to calibrate it.

This 2015 Infiniti Q40 AWD A/T came in with a Stillen Gen3 intakes only, so we installed a UpRev license and started calibrating the vehicle to get a good reliable performance out of it.

After the calibration of this vehicle on this cold night we managed to increase the power output on it to a respectable number for a AWD configuration.

Ambient conditions on the night were: 52F, 39% and 30.17 Baro / all runs were done in sports mode 4th gear.

 

2013 Scion FRS – JRSC Install & Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

After much deliberation and consulting with which direction we were going to instruct the client to go with in regards to a supercharger install.  We decided to go towards a Jackson Racing supercharger kit on this 2013 Scion FRS with Automatic transmission.

The install was done flawlessly by our trusted in-house tech, the addition of the supercharger kit to this Scion FRS was pretty straight forward and turn around was short for the client.

After the install, the next step was to flash the vehicle with a EcuTek license and then proceeded to get the vehicle to the dynamometer to map the engine.

Dyno Jet comparison numbers are shown above. Dyno Dynamics peak number for this calibration at that psi level shown on the chart was 250 RWHP.  Ambient conditions on the day were 56F, 55% and 30.27 and the gear the runs were made was 4th in Sports Mode.

2005 Saabaru – Test

Posted this vehicle since I have to say this was the first time us coming across something like this.  Client showed up to have us look the car and engine over to see about some fluid leaks it was having and also do a test on the dyno dynamics AWD.

Needless to say that the stock clutch that was on the Saab Aero 9-2X did not pass the test of making a single pull.  I guess now our first order of business is to get a new stage2 clutch kit in there.

Here are the pictures of this unicorn.

 

More pics to follow once the new clutch is in and broken in.

 

 

2016 Volkswagen Golf R – APv3 calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

Client contacted us to do a protune on this vehicle as he recently bought a APv3 from us.  Client added the necessary parts to be able to use the stage3 mapping that Cobb Tuning offers.

Intake, catted downpipe, catback exhaust and upgraded fmic.

APR stage1 DSG / reflash on the vehicle.

Ambient conditions on the day were: 78F, 72% hum. and 30.03 baro

First graph is the before and after the Protune with Dyno jet simulated numbers.

The above figure is the native Dyno Dynamics figure after the Protune.  Boost pressure during the calibration was 27psi tapering to 22psi at 7000 rpms.

There is still some more to be learned from this initial tune on this platform and we will be seeing this vehicle once again to see if we can extract a few more hp from the engine.  Special thanks to Mike for trusting in our tuning abilities.

2007 Honda Accord turbo – KTuner calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

This was rather an interesting project that rather landed in our lap. Client came in asking for a tuning solution for his Honda Accord i4 (K24A8) and he wanted to go the route of KTuner. I said sure I can get that for you and tune it.

The car arrived and then to my knowledge it was going to a automatic transmission vehicle that was fitted a TSX turbo kit on to it.

First I had to call the service of Jay to get us the headers on the ecu soldered since that needed to be done on this model ecu before we can even tune the vehicle.  As usual Jay did a bang up job.

While the board was getting installed in the ecu, the tech was going over some of the things that still needed to be done to the set up in order for it to be truly ready to hit the rollers.
410cc RDX injectors were fitted, KTuned fuel rail was also installed and a few other quirky things that were completed before the calibration could begin.

Ambient conditions on the time of the calibration were: 75F, 72% hum. 30.13baro
Runs were made on D3 setting in the transmission.
boost was of the wastegate spring and it maintained at 9psi
We did not know what it was going to do as this sort of combination was rather odd and not something I had seen before.  KTuner software did well to keep the engine steady and make the power it was going to efficiently make.
Was impressed with a car that makes 160hp to the crank and we managed to make 248whp with the boost that was being thrown at it.

Will post the charts shortly.

2005 Acura RSX typeS – Kpro calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

Got a chance to help a client from the capital with his normally aspirated set up.

As the car arrived it was placed on the rollers and a initial run showed that the fueling was rather poor in the calibration that the engine was running with.

Mods in this K20a2,  6MT included: CAI, header, exhaust and Hondata KPro.

Ambient conditions during the calibration: 70F, 66% Hum. and 30.13 baro

Runs where made in 4th gear, below are first dyno jet comparison numbers.  Second chart are Dyno Dynamics native numbers from before and after the calibration.

 

2003 Toyota Celica GT – Haltech Sprint 500

Category : Automobile Performance

Had a return visit from a previous client that I had the pleasure of tuning his vehicle in NA condition as we fitted a custom harness and a Haltech sprint 500.  That was a year ago and now he was hungry for some more power so the client went bought and installed a turbo kit for this 1zz-fe engine with manul transmission.

Here are the mods from this kit:

  • 650cc injectors
    HKS SSQ BOV
    TURBOSMART 38mm WASTEGATE with dump pipe
    Turbo 2.5 PIPING
    AEM FUEL REGULATOR
    60mm turbo
    Manual boost controller
    Deatschwerks 265PLH fuel pump
    SUBARU STI MAF AIRMETER 2.75 pipe housing.
    Light weight flywheel
    Stage 2 clutch
    Stage 1 Crowder camshafts
    Supertech valves springs.
    3in downpipe no cat
    7 heat range spark plugs

So car came in on a tow truck since it would not run right of course with the new bigger injectors. Got the fuel dialed in and then it was on to the rollers for further tuning on the Haltech Sprint500.

After the tuning was completed there are some other things that still need to be addressed but at least we were able to find a comfort spot for the boost and the power delivery for the moment.

CelicaGtTurbo Dyno Run

Purple line was tuned in N/A configuration.

Blue line is now in its boosted condition @10psi.
That little twitch at 5600 rpms has been rectified as we were getting a little spark blow out.

Here are the Dyno Jet simulated number for that same run.

2012 Nissan 370zTT – Fixing & UpRev calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

A old client referred this gentleman with the 370zTT to our services. Car came in with the client mentioning that it felt lethargic after he had done a simple oil change in one of those oil service shops.  We loaded the vehicle on the dyno to see what we were up against. The initial dyno test determined that this car was making below normal aspirated power numbers. It was not boosting the right psi and the AFR conditions were dire in the rich side.

After we unstrapped the vehicle from the dyno we were commissioned to take the necessary measures to rectify the situation. Upon quick glance we saw that the previous shop did not do a spot on job on the installing the AAM Competition twin turbo kit.  Our tech came in and wrote down a shopping list of items that would have to be replaced and other adjusted in order to get the turbo kit to operate efficiently.

Many thanks for Luis at AAM Competition for helping us in troubleshooting and getting us the correct parts that needed to be replaced on the kit.

Nissan 2012 370z
A/T built / AAM Competition twin turbo kit / UpRev calibration / Shell 93 oct.

Runs made in sports mode 4th gear.
Ambient conditions 81F / 64% humidity / 30.03 Baro.

All runs were made at the gate pressure which was 9psi.

Dyno Jet comparison mode.

370zTTdyno video

On 1/29/18 we went to No Problem Raceway to test the vehicle and see what it could do out there.  We had to work out some kinks on the shifting aspect of the vehicle, but after that managed to make some decent passes.  The pass in the video is of the low boost 9psi run which we are making the power from the charts above.

 

Subaru wagon – Haltech Elite 550

Category : Automobile Performance

Got a client that came in and dropped off a Subaru wagon with a swapped motor.  Car came in running under its own power and idleing good.  So it needed to just be mapped out in all the sectors of the engine operation.

EJ20G swap and a 5 speed STI manual transmission running on a haltech elite 550 ecu.

Mods included:

Generic short ram intake, generic 3 inch catless exhaust, front mount intercooler and no speed sensor.

The red lines on the chart is the test made in 3rd gear.
The rest of the runs were made in 4th gear.  PSI in these runs were in the 10 to 11 range.  Had to stop here due to a faulty coolant temp. sensor.
