Had the car dyno tuned by Wayne aka Waynespeed, he is the dist. for Wolf computers and has many reliable high powered tunes to his credit.



We tuned it back on the 9th, but I just got the print out last night. Last night driving to get the printout I realized for the first time my factory tach falls off at higher RPM, I know at about 4200 on the tach the wolf was reading about 400-500 rpm LOWER.

Picking up the dyno sheets confirmed what I thought- originally we revved the car to what we thought was 7200RPM, turns out it was only 6150 RPM!



My rear alighment is way off right now and we are re-doing my pipes from the REV II y-pipe back to 2.5" from 2.25" so when thats done its back to the dyno to confirm the tune is clean to a real 7200RPM and with the exaust changes and the alighment not acting against the dyno.



Here are the 2 graphs, one does not show torque or RPM just peak HP but thats the 4th gear pull.





The 4th gear pull is the blue line, showing a peak of 280hp at what was 6153RPM. Not bad considering the small turbo and the fact we had 1000 rpm to go.



Motor is a street port S5TII turbo is a garrett t04b. A turbo change is already running through my head, I just wanted to get the swap done and sorted out first.



The second graph is a 5th gear pull so I guess that one wont count but it does show the engine RPM.



Some picts of getting it on the dyno and the graphs

got some mods going on, re-tune on e85 so it required larger fuel pump and injectors, was maxing out the old pump and injectors.
Putting FD UIM on so IC piping needed to be modified. Got rid of some couplers replaced with a wiggins clamp. Didnt put any on the turbo side because most likely I will be swapping out the turbo and dont want to invest anymore money into it

Have to polish up the elbow, pipes- paint and do my thing on the UIM and the throttle body, should make for a nice change

supposed to get a little snow tomorrow glad the car has the best parking spot its ever had, safe and sound

Man, that's nice! I really need to drag that intercooler piping you sent me out of the attic and get a front mount installed on my car!

Where did you get the heat shielding for your turbo?

guy on ebay, had sold a ton of them

going to remove the radiator and convert it over to braided hose and an fittings, get rid of that long fill neck too. Hoping they have black braided hose not stainless. Also going to do a heat shield on the LIM as well. I have another one that I will port match to the UIM and I wont fill in the stud holes from the EGR valve so I can use the studs to bolt the shield to
