tuning for boost
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 11:20 AM
I wanted to run 20psi once i get hptuners and a bigger turbo. but with the resolution being so low, while faking a 3bar, is it too hard to tune.


DRIVE HARD OR DONT DRIVE AT ALL!!!

get port fueler and use in conjuction with HP tuners, or Megasquirt or a standalone, HP tuners alone wont do the job correctly

20psi is alot, spyhntr just made like 430hp on 16psi, are you sure your engine can handle that much boost, and do you need that much boost to reach your power goals?


15.3 @ 89.97mph, 14's on the way?

That's not to say they are using the same turbo, have the same valvetrain, same compression ratio, or the same intercooler for that matter. Psi is NOT relative!

Nor are they using the same motor either. Spyhntr made it on the ld9 (2.4L). CAVI.DEMON has the ln2 (2200). That is a HUGE difference right there.
