New dyno inside
Again, this is 21 psi, same boost level as before. I saw in my other thread everyone asking if kpro is better than aem. Gery clarified it best. It is only as good as the tuner and there's way more crap that has to be set up on the AEM. The thing I like about kpro is you can set all kinds of limiters and backup safety settings and it gives cel's if something is messed up, its not on you to figure out what's going on.
Anyways, I attribute this increase in power mostly to a clean air filter. I wanted to make sure everything was perfect for the dyno so I pulled it off last night and cleaned the **** out of it. I couldn't believe how dirty it was. But cleaning it definitely made a big difference. We also played with the adjustment of the cam gear but we found most power at tdc with no advance or retard.
This tune was on 93 octane pump gas. I got a good 185 miles to the half tank it took me to drive almost 3 hours so the fuel economy is unbelievable.
Here's my mod list:
t3/t4e 57 trim 48 ar turbine/60 ar compressor turbocharger
Dezod Motorsports Equal Length Turbo Manifold
JDM Fabtech custom intake manifold
d17a2 engine swap
Walbro 255lph in tank fuel pump
RC Engineering 750cc injectors
2.5 intercooler piping
2.5 Dezod stainless downpipe
PLX M300 wideband
Hondata K Pro
AEM adjustable Cam Gear
Tial 35mm Wastegate
Greddy Type S BOV
Fast Turbo Vacuum Manifold
Action 2MD 6 puck clutch kit
Wiseco 8.8:1 Pistons
Crower Rods
Crower Stage III Full Race Camshaft
Crower Valvespring and Retainer Kit
Return Fuel System
Aeromotive Rising Rate Fuel Pressure Regulator
JEG's 10 Micron In-Line Fuel Filter

Well **** that looks like some fun.
2 questions... I assume the AEM cam gear is a typo since you kinda have to use the hondata gear IIRC
question 2, what MAP sensor? Cuz I need one.

The drive home was the fun part lol. No, the Hondata modified cam gear is actually an AEM cam gear with a different pickup wheel that allows the k series ecu to read the cam pickup tooth, something hondata does in house. I'm using an AEM 3.5 bar. You can use whatever kind you want, doesn't really matter.

Yeah I'm happy with it. Anymore power will require a race gas tune and I don't want to mess with it, honestly. Its putting down insane power for a street car and I want to keep it streetable, 11's has been my goal from the start and the car is now capable of pulling an 11 second pass at this power level.

My bad andyman i had a typo, i meant to ask how well your tranny was holding up with that power. Wondering if you have done anything to the tranny internals to strengthen them. Still very very impressed with your numbers.
