Peak from al three runs.
HP 171
TQ 247ft lbs
We got 7 hp and 7 ft lbs of torque by bumping timing from 10 to 14. We didnt bump the boost because it will only hold 15... it has a bad leak at the throttle shaft.
Mods.
Deleted AC, gillis at 15, Timing at 14, K&N on the Vam, stock downpipe and y, 2.5 cat back with flowmasters.
Next step, AFPR, 255hp pump, 65mm throttle body and ported intakes. After that, turbo and other stuff. This was a base line run.
comments welcome.
Great starting spot! I wanna do a baseline run on mine as well, so I can compare the new engine when it's done. I'm pretty sure I'm right around 200hp at the wheels; should be at or a little above 250 at the wheels after the project. Can't wait to see what yours does.
You still have the IHI?
I'd put a big downpipe on that list of first mods, and ditch the Flowmasters (they don't work well on turbo'd engines), otherwise sounds good.
x2 on exhaust. I felt a major difference when I added my FMIC. A guy gained 18hp with a Volvo front mount on his SVO! A T3 turbo will also make you smile. As for the TB, the biggest gain I felt was throttle response. However, with a gutted upper and ported lower, it's probably good for 5hp or so.
Pretty good baseline for a "stock" 2.3T.
Get rid of that exhaust you have on the car, esp the FM's. That (the exhaust) is probably the reason you only gained <10 hp/tq by bumping the boost 4psi.
I'd do the exhaust before you did the intakes/TB.
By bumping the boost? we bumped timing 4*. .We didnt bump boost because any more that 15 it will leak bad. I agree with the lers. Once i get the turbo and most of the other stuff done, we will dyno it again. during that run, we are going to swap lers and see what happens.
Sorry, I missread.
LOL no problem.
We are going to see what a t-3 and an AFPR will do with 20 PSI. Any guesses to the gain?
