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.

The Cause of Death
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

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.

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

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.

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.
