With a 50trim and an safc you can reach 300 hp, correct? Not much of a fine tunning but good enough for daily driving. I want a 300 hp daily driver car because i dont have that much time to fine tune, when im still in college trying to pass classes  |
I did the majority of my tuning on the street using 3rd gear pulls and the ECU+ simulated dyno feature. It's not the most accurate way to estimate horsepower, but it is an excellent tool to compare relative results after changing the maps. Once I was happy with my settings, I took it to a dyno to see what numbers it was really making. I paid for an hour session, and after some tweaking (mostly with timing) here and there, I arrived at the numbers I have advertised. I should note that the weather conditions were near 0 density altitude. The boost was actually around 26 psi that day with the water/meth injection, but whatever. I can only estimate airflow at about 38-40 lb/min, as Tom remembers, because ECU+ only reads out in MAS Hz. It was just a little formula I used based on other members' numbers from DSMlink. Hope that helps some.

As much as I love my setup, I will have to agree with Luis on this. However, I still feel that a decent tune on a smaller turbo will be more fun than a haphazard tune making equal horsepower on a larger one. Just my .02.
