Irrational Exuberance Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Interesting, what are your mods? also, im assuming the early peak is tq, correct?

Heedz Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 yeah early peak is torque. Ive got a catless helix uppipe, catless megan bellmouth downpipe, gms catback, avo panel filter thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Exuberance Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 5mt? just curious. with similar mods my WHP was a bit lower but TQ was a good 35-40lb more. it also peaked sooner and held for a bit longer, just wondering if the magic juice in my 5at accounts for that.

Heedz Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 its a 5MT but... I'm only pushing 16psi. while most tunes at stage 2 are at 17-19 if done by a tuner. my buddy's spec b is pushing 236hp 270tq on 19.5psi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wang Lung Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Asian, I would have guessed that was Ed's tune. It's kind of his signature profile. Smooth and composed. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nice & smooth curve Hide. I'm gonna have to stop by EQ for a dyno run after these new parts come in. Can't wait to try out e85, hope my clutch can hold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Anyone know if our stock clutch can handle Stage 2 e85 wtq? I'm usually not hard on the clutch, and will probably only fill up on e85 less than half the time... I might even just save the tune for track days, but we'll see how hard it is to go to CA91 from e85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually not hard on the clutch, and will probably only fill up on e85 less than half the time... I might even just save the tune for track days, but we'll see how hard it is to go to CA91 from e85 I would say no. At 40k or so mine is not able to hold higher stage 2 levels. I do run fairly high boost for stage2 (18psi in S mode) but when I attempt anymore it slips. This is around 250-260 whp and right around 300whtq on the road dyno sheet.

wpmarky Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 That's what I'm at now also, and it's holding ok, tho I'm not sure how much longer it will last... new clutch it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbrjason Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 That's what I'm at now also, and it's holding ok, tho I'm not sure how much longer it will last... new clutch it is then. Keep me posted on what route you take? Especially with the flywheel. I've already decided on the ACT Street clutch. Not sure if I will get the spec b version or the sti version but in either case I'm not sure what to do about a flywheel. I really don't want a lw flywheel in this car or think it really needs one.

wpmarky Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I prefer drivability also over maximizing power, though quick blip downshifting sounds nice. I'll probably go with whatever good deal I can find. I thought there was a thread that says the ACT Spec.b clutch is actually for a 5MT, not a 6MT? Other spec.b's that went with ACT say to get the STI version + STI flywheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDork Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 what tune package did you go with? did they just use opensource method? i have an apv1 and a vag-com cable on the way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brum Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Ah i was wondering why you were a bit lower than me. I'm tuned to about 18.5 psi and should be netting a few more hp. Great curves tho. Gotta love usable power I have a South Bend Stg 3 Clutch with a Spec LWFW. Great price, warranty etc on the clutch. It is a bit overkill (capable of 450 ftlbs). The "blip-ability" of the lwfw is very nice! My stock clutch started slipping about 1k miles after I went stage 2 (at 80k). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heedz Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 open source, but I was one of the first ones to get tuned so I basically got a full tune for the price of a quick tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Nice! This was my LGT at stage 2 tuned by Ed. (Catless uppipe, high-flow catted downpipe.) I went straight from stock to the stage 2 protune. I forgot to get a baseline before they installed the UP and DP, but the difference was...not subtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I like how your guys' tune holds HP nice and steady all the way to 7k, very kool =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Bump for more dynos, I just got dyno'd by Ed @ EQ this past sunday Infamous Stg. 2: 231whp/280tq CNT 3" DP MR 3" CBE Perrin TMIC AVO Panel filter I was a lil surprised, thought the whp would be higher maybe around 250... but it looks like it's consistent with everyone else's numbers here. My tune was incomplete, I only had 1 revision by Infamous before going on vacation. My logs after that revision didn't show any timing taken away, so I was lazy with the logging and didn't get another. I also popped an overboost CEL @ Infineon on Saturday, I wonder if that had anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
