im planning on raisin the bosst on my car to 14 pounds..more or less how much do you think alex lopez racing will charge me to raise the boost and re-tune the car???thanks

 

Why don't you ask them?

 

if you already have the engine management then prob around $200-$300 to do a dyno tune

 

What other mods do you have to support 14lbs of boost? The stock turbos run out of breath around 13lbs, why are you trying to go to 14?

Please post more details about your car.

twilight zone....

 

I've seen the stock twins do anywhere from 10-18psi and not hit a wall as far as power goes. I believe stock twins can run 1bar reliably, with the correct mods (full exhaust, intakes, PFC tuned correctly, AI, new radiator).

But yeah more details would definitely help, it might not even be safe to run 12psi on your setup.

 

hahaha

 

Yeah but that horsepower doesn't go into the engine anymore, it goes into the making the manifold glow.

have hks front mount intercooler.pfc.street port.hks filters.pwr radioator.hks exaust.act clutch..and the reasin that i wanna raise to 14 is because rx7 store claims that these cars woth the street port and basic bolt ons make around 353 whp..thanks

 

go for it then. i'd just make sure you get something to closely monitor air/fuel's. just to be on the safe side

 

Wait, what?

EVERY engine is different. Just like every dyno is different.

Having your fuel map tuned is a great idea. However I don't think you should be doing it just because a shop/website has posted a certain whp at a certain boost.... The problem there is that you will be going into the tuning session with a set number/expectation in mind, and (as a result) you might come out disappointed with the numbers you get...

Better would be to tune for the peace of mind knowing that your car is running a safe AFR utilizing the max efficiency of your current mods....


(FWIW, a dyno number is JUST a number... I'm showing 340whp on my dyno pulls with BNRs at 18psi and I will SPANK anything under $80k I encounter on the road...)

 

no ofcourse..i aslo want to make sure my car is running good with no problems.make sure the comoression is right and everything.does alex lopez have an account here,,if he does link it to me or tell him to help me out here..thanks

 

Or.... why don't you just CALL THEM tomorrow and speak with the people you're trying to work with, instead of asking the forum to run all your errands for you......
