Please post a dyno chart if you have one. I would love to see to power curve.

Here you go.. I don't have a soft copy of it, so I had to use my digi camera to snap a pic. So I apologise for the quality of the photo in advance.

dyno run 007 is 4th gear where I saw the most delivered to the wheels

dyno run 008 is 3rd gear

All the dyno runs were done back to back to back. I did 8 total. Each run there was about 2 minutes between each run. The runs on that graph were the last 2 runs of my session.

wow, i think that's pretty damn impressive

i think that certainly throws the question of whether or not the renesis will respond well to a turbo

almost 70 rwhp at 7 psi? without being fully tuned? i think that's great!

i just wanna see how long the motor will last, being that it wasn't designed for FI...correct me if i'm wrong (i probably am!)

keep us updated

Hehe.. you and me both

To be honest, I think the naysayers are wrong about the Renesis not being able to handle boost. I think the limiting factor is the fuel injectors and transmission. The fuel injectors can only supply enough fuel up to about 9-9.5psi.. then they run out. The only part of the car that I am sure will fail is the stock clutch.. But I was expecting that from the get-go.. just waiting for it to burn out so I can replace it with a heavy duty one.

Yeah, the AF ratio is kind of rough. But Greddy did a pretty good job with the stock map. I just need to get the damn password for it so I can get the A/F curve right. Greddy password protected the stock maps to cover their *** in case the owners tuning blows up the engine. Speaking of which, if anyone knows the password GReddy uses on their pre-tuned e-manage units, please let me know

Someone just converted the torque figures for me based on the gear and HP/MPH.

Starting at about 3100rpm I see about 193ft-lbs and change at the wheels all the way up to about 7000rpm.. then it tapers down to about 150 at redline.. a nice jump from stock which is 129ft-lbs peak

Why did the title of this thread change to "Turdo-charged..."?
That kinda sucks...

I'm not sure - I'll contact a mod to correct it. I cannot go back and edit anything in the forum which sucks also. I'll send a e-mail to Ryan asking that this be looked into - Ryan are you reading this?

I doubt you'll gain 25 rwhp peak hp even if you tune the fuel curve. I feel that if you go any leaner than what you are now, you'll pop the motor. At 240 RWHP you were at 11. 6ish on the A/F, you'd be playing with fire to go leaner than that. Smooth out the A/F line and you'll have a better area under the curve, but I doubt you'll gain much up top.

12.2 to 12.5 is where the power is.
Running 11.xx is only useful to tame detonation and that isn't an issue at such low boost with good gas.

I'm going to tune for 9psi as soon as I can crack this e-manage map. Greddy is taking their sweet *** time sending me a base map that's not password protected.

Maybe you should sign a disclaimer telling them that they wont be responsible if you blow the engine. That might get the ball moving a little faster. I can understand why they would want to cover their ***.

Clavier,

I agree 12.2 to 12.5 is where the power is at, but for how long? Bad tank of gas, pow, very cold night with dense air....pow, boost spike of a couple psi...pow. Not worth the risk in my book or my cars. It's a higher compression motor than a 3rd gen, so less boost on that engine would be similar to our FD with lower compression rotors running higher boost. Either way, I just don't want him to pop the motor thinking 12.2 to 12.5 was safe and regret trying it.

Tim

Thanks for the concern Tim I was already planning that. Once I tune, my AFR won't break 12.0 at all. I"m aiming to keep it between 11.5-11.8. This baby is my daily driver, I can't afford to have it break on me because of detonation
