Getting car tuned soon

[RocCitySlayer]

No bench racing intended!!

Im hopefully going to have my car tuned by STM in a few days.
My question is.. With my setup, What would be a reasonable power range to aim for? And what would be a good psi to boost at?

Ps: This will be my daily driver

Are you going to be corn powered (E85) or 93 Oct ?? Meth Kit ?

I wanna say your probably going to see around 450-500 whp between 21-26 lbs of boost

That would be nice

I have Fic 1050's, and Im not sure

 

[Andranik]

Lol that much power and that much boost your 7 bolt might not last too long if it's stock ... How about the head studs what do you have in there? If its stock head bolts the least I would do is trow arps in there if it doesn't have one before the tune just my advice, also what fuel pump to you have ?

Im not always going to be on this car hard. Its going to be my daily driver, but a DD that will eat almost anything that steps to it and Im pretty sure it has the Arp head bolts. Alot of this car was put together before I got it, It has a Walbro 255 fuel pump.

Pull the vc and see if it has arps, shoot for most power with limited knock that would be one of my goals.The build hp as you go.

 

[Andranik]

Agreed ^^^ just take some precautions that's all I say I wouldn't want your next thread being that you threw a rod out the block that would suck. I wish you best of luck bro post some numbers up when you get it tuned

 

[RocCitySlayer]

When I take the cover off to check will I need to replace the gasket or could I reuse it?

Hell yea. That would not be cool at all .. But yea when I go have it tuned Ill post the dyno sheet up for sure

 

[92AWDHX40]

Ive reused gaskets for many years the vc that is, if its in good shape i would re use it, and if it leaks afterwards then replace it.

Im going to go more conservative with the tune then I am with the extreme power. I know it will have a ton of power that way too..
As of right now its untuned and its got so much torque and power its crazy fast

I'm new to dsm and want a tune on my car how do I get started I have a 95 tsi with big 16g any help would be great

First get link. Then follow the demos on dsmlink.com. They are very helpful. You will need alot of things including a WB. Just do alot of reading on that site. Its not too difficult really. Now, getting a truly GOOD tune.. that is a skill.

OP: After reading your mods, i would guess 400whp is attainable. If not a little bit more. On 93. On e85 you might be near 500. Thing is, you dont say how much internal work youve had. Do you have a fresh rebuild? DO you have forged internals? Stock compression? ARP studs??
These are all very important to tell not only how much power you CAN make but how long your engine will last at said power. This is officially benchracing .

I'm lookin to upgrade my overall hp on my stock 98 spyder gs.where should I start

Trade it for a gst or gsx! Seriously because you might squeeze 50hp out of your car and that's with more money than I have in bank and more time I care to waste on a gs

I would start here Tech Guide: 2G 420A Power Upgrades - DSMtuners and not in someone elses thread .

 

[nek]

21 lbs of boost 450hp? What did I miss?

 

[Rexwagon1909]

I am gonna say probably around 430whp on it, I would stay in low low 20's for boost until you get meth..

/facepalm you don't know what your talking about. In addition who cares what you consider a waste or what you have in YOUR bank. For all we know its a $1 The only thing you have right is that its going to cost money.

I would start here Tech Guide: 2G 420A Power Upgrades - DSMtuners and not in someone elses thread .

*sigh* he does not have a 2g 420a !!!!(wickedjester88 run away if someone everyone mentions performance parts for 420a and spyder in the same sentence)

Look here:
Performance Modifications

Or here if you want to blow alot of money:

Eclipse / Galant (USA) 2G & 3G - 4G64 SOHC 16v


Or here if you want to dohc swap and use their parts:
2G Turbo Head Swap on a 4G64

oh and next time open your own thread
