turbo charged power - Page 4

SpyhunteR · 07-02-2009, 06:29 PM

215hp is like............................. um............................... were they even trying to tune it?

i didn't read the whole thread, personally. just for a boosted setup that is sadly low. I would be expecting 275-300 minimum.

07-02-2009, 09:29 PM

the boost is at 5psi right now.

AaronGTR · 07-02-2009, 10:20 PM

ok, that explains it then. Cool.

in any case glad to hear you got the car back

x2 try getting it as close as possible to the size of the outlet on the turbine housing.

I can't imagine them doing too much tuning if it's only running 5 psi.

Get it dyno tuned if that will help im not really sure, i have a couple of v8 friends who had their **** dyno tuned and it helped out alot.

KhellendrosxS · 07-03-2009, 09:58 AM

Dyno tuning should be the last step and only used for fine tuning IMO. A street tune is where you will get all your trims in line and get everything working right and then it goes on the dyno for minor tweaks to squeeze out all the power and for dialing in at speeds that would be unsafe on public roads.

i agree, not to mention they charge by the hr for dyno tunes, it can get very expensive the longer it takes.

get as much done with a street tune as u posibly can

SilverGAGT2002 · 07-03-2009, 12:19 PM

215 HP seems terribly low, there are cammed GA's that are putting down more power.

XtremeGaGt00 · 07-03-2009, 10:24 PM

It's not really that low considering his mods and boost level. When I first put my magnacharger on I was only running 6psi with a SLP cat-back and K&N filter and it went from 146 to 195. I had to add a smaller pulley and a bunch of other mods to get up to 235 before I even changed the cam or injectors.

SilverGAGT2002 · 07-03-2009, 11:24 PM

How much HP do our cars put out stock?

stewartfn18 · 07-04-2009, 06:26 AM

SilverGAGT2002 · 07-04-2009, 09:16 AM

wel u have to remember they rate the cars as engine hp.
but u dont get the same hp at the wheels, there are lots of variables that decrease the hp
