I'm on my iPhone. Can someone link him to the hyperflow cai? Thx.

It's in guard style.

fork the CIA off snake...... it aint worth it.. power is better then noise!!

You'll find there's little to no difference changing back to airbox. Don't believe the hype!

Assuming I didn't break something in the old airbox trying to get it out, I might shove it back on and just test.

Otherwise, I will leave it on.

pfft air cleaners and AFM are for *******.

let me find my post again...

dyno's are just a number. take it to the drags and that will tell you how much power you are making!!!

it is so easy to fudge and have inaccurate numbers on a dyno... guy on rexnet had his car tuned by pulse to apparently 230kw atw. he trapped 105mph which equates to less than 200 awkw! ouch!

in saying that i'd be estimating around 160-180 depending on what dyno it is on (hub, DD, mainline etc..)

if you want to know what true power it is making take it to the strip! dyno is just a number people!!!

I like numbers...

[Richo]

i've been trying on and off to get him to go to the drags on a wed night for a while. but you see alex is a hermaphrodite

That's all true Alexxxx, but what a dyno will show is the area beneath the curve. Drags will only show the outright power an engine has, but to most people this is irrelevant because most cars are daily drivers and rare draggers.
What is shown in graphs equates to how the car will drive, and where power and torque are delivered.
Alex's(AMS) graph to me looks a bit rough especially at the top where it runs out of puff at around 57-5800. You should be making power up to 6500 IMHO.
It seems to hold relatively even boost pressure but there is a restriction up top. That is definitely where you have lost that last bit of power you thought you had.
Still looks to have smoothed the VOD heaps though so you should be happy.

fatcat,

he's a little upset about how low his power figure is... this is why i was telling him if he wanted to know true outright power you run it down the strip

[ams]

I wasn't really upset, I was a little suprised more than anything that a B4 with less mods (did not have upgraded tmic) managed to make the same number as me on the same dyno with the same tune at the same shop. (i'm talking about Jazzie's car) I would have thought the TMIC would allow a bit better cooling, therefore being able to comfortably make another 1-2psi than her car. fatcat - what do you suggest I do to fix top end power? (dont say single turbo)

more boost.

boost is set by the tuner, you can run 20psi if you want to can just dial it in. what was it tuned using? romraider or ECUtek?

idealy you should of said to the tuner (based on what you've read/felt from other cars) i want X to be my peak boost level, tuner could just be playing on the safe side and tuning it to low boost, or if they were encountering problems this could of held them back from getting a reliable/steady boost curve.

He was. He had lots of problems with the numbers the AFM was reporting, so he tuned it best he could. He did tell me it was safe, and he could probably tune it up a bit more but he felt comfortable knowing it was not going to blow up at the end of the street.

It's all good. I'm happy.

It's weird seeing your dyno graph next to mine, they're ment to be the same car!

Your's seems to still have a large VOD but also seems to have a lot more power on the primary than mine,
but mine seems to have a wider band of power up the top end,

It would be great to go for a drive in both to see the difference

Hi, Probably because they are a different colour. Cheers, Nik
