I want you to tune it and get to a dyno NA. I think you have as good a chance as ever at 200hp. What do you think youll be at?

 

Ehh, I would shit my pants if I got 180 out of her.

As of right now with the street tune I would say about 165 whp? Just a guess, I got 157 running at 14:1 on the 1.8 ecu. With the 12.5-13:1 tune and the abitlity to further advance my timing, we will see. It will be awesome if I can continue to gain torque/hp and avoid detonation by further timing advance than it is already set to, because it is without a doubt faster now than before the haltech.

I really doubt I could hit 200 without some high comp pistons and some 100-110 octane, I should really try it before I boost, might be worth throwing in the 1.8L pistons, although that would require removal of the head, which means another head gasket which is 50 bucks, plus new rings for the 1.8's. Isn't it like a 10-15% power increase though?

I might try to get to a dyno tomorrow, I'll post up another topic if I do.

 

With the higher compression you should be able to hit it I think. May be worth a shot. But its your money. Would be cool to see what it takes to get there though.

 

Yeah, dyno time is $150/hour to rent, and $250/hour for them to tune it. I would tune it myself of course, but that is still a lot of money to turn around and do it again in a few weeks.

I think I might hit a dyno this weekend and do a few pulls just to see where I am at, I could try advancing it a degree or two as well.

 

Wow alot of neg camber here, hope the tires wear evenly you gotta do alot of turning really hard. Looks really good.

 

Yeah, so far so good with the tire wear. It actually handles much better on full soft because the extra body roll level's out the tire. I do think that 3 instead of 5 degrees would be even better, but then the rubbing issue comes into play so...

Thanks.

 

holy hell. Nice setup.

Where in MD do you live? I'm on the eastern shore.

 

^Thanks bro.

About 2 hours from ocean city; I guess you could say the north-eastern part of MD.

 

edit: I see from previous posts that you're in Elkton. I'm about 45 minutes from you. We should meet up sometime.

 

Sounds like a plan, check your pm's.

Got the turbo today!!
