As many of you know I road tune most of the cars I tune, but sometimes I use a dyno to perform a portion of the tuning and/or to confirm my road tune and provide people with numbers. The following CRX couldn’t be finished on the street, because it doesn’t get traction at all, but the other cars were fully tuned on the street and tested on the dyno. I did add some timing to the 240’s tune on the dyno, but the clutch slipped. I’ll be finishing that up on the street in the future. Onto the first car…
This is the CRX we built and tuned for Nick. It was an extensive build which I’ll detail when I have time in another thread. For now the basics on the car are listed on the dyno graph.
This shows the boost curves on the two pump gas only pulls and the pump and meth pull. As you can see, at higher boost levels the 12 psi springs are allowing some oscillation in boost which shows in the HP/Torque curves on the pump/meth pull, but all you feel on the street is wheelspin anyways.
I’m happy to report that Mike and Innovative Tuning officially have the highest TQ car ever on my dyno. Perhaps they will set the HP record with a few of their other cars.
Mike, for reference, I have an 850hp Firebird lined up for Friday…so that should give you some targets.
Thank you. It looks like we’ll be seeing you and your dyno at our shop every few weeks this year. :tup:
If we can get adapters made for the white Supra, that Firebird is going down. The red Supra will be in the ballpark of Pat’s 350z for WHP but not torque. The 350z is definitely a torque monster. I think Pat’s hiding something in the glove box…
what turbo is on that integra? is its ls crank or gsr, seems to be an ls crank and 57 trim?
it looks like it would benefit from a electronic boost controller or neptune/ectune etc with pwm to keep the boost solid till the end
It’s just a little 3" inlet GT30R since that was plenty to surpass his goal of 400 whp on pump gas. It’s a Type R bottom end we built up, but the crank remained stock.
The undulations in boost are small. They would not be smaller with a solenoid instead of an MBC. You’d never see them if you dyno’d the car on a dynojet or mustang dyno with heavy rollers that cover up things like that and you definitely can’t feel it on the street.
and an ebc with boost by gear by rpm would most certainly stop that boost from falling off up top, programs for honda’s have alot of neat features these days
it feels great on the street though mike and it drives alot smoother :tup:
Oh well.
