My car is getting retuned today...

**iloveboost** · 09-08-2006, 09:27 AM

We're retuning with higher octane fuel (C16), side exit and more fine tuning. We used 112 octane had some ignition issues and thru a full exhaust last time.

It previously made 630whp/411 ft lbs @ 28psi. Main Stream will work their magic on it once more, so stay tuned.

I don't know how much higher the single Walbro will be able to go, so we'll see.

Pointless post, yes. I'm just excited and waiting on the call to see how much it made. Yes, I realize it's pointless until I get better tires and upgrade the transmission, but who cares. =P

Mad non-VTEC power!

**Halfwit** · 09-08-2006, 09:52 AM

good luck

Fresh paint and different paint scheme coming this weekend compliments of Vinh's Body Shop.

**BigPoppaHurtm** · 09-08-2006, 11:49 AM

Who cares? Its still 0 rwhp

LOL jp

good luck mang and definetly get an upgraded tranny yo

**JDMBeau** · 09-08-2006, 02:16 PM

good luck man. nopefully nothing goes wrong, got pics of your side exit, my buddy has it on his integra and its pretty ghetto lol

who is yo mofo daddy.

**iloveboost** · 09-08-2006, 05:45 PM

Spoolin set the trend for Hondas with side exits.

**Vteckidd** · 09-08-2006, 06:16 PM

not tonight, his tranny is just too far gone. i dont want to damage the motor.
got back to 6xx out of it, but his stock LS trans just doesnt want to come out of gear at 9000rpms. i dont want to run the risk of stretching a rod.

Maybe after he gets a Fresh GSR trans in it

let it coast down in gear

9000rpm on a 1.8-2.0L

try 2.2 @ 9500+

ahaha

gl o you guys..hope u make some good power!

**iloveboost** · 09-09-2006, 08:00 AM

Waiting on a fresh JDM GSR transmission with Quaife from HMotors...

Ah well. Better gearing and an LSD equipped transmission I'm sure will make a world of difference.

**josh green** · 09-09-2006, 09:33 AM

yep you will probably have to have a retune just from changing the tranny. I know before spoolin had the gsr/ls hybrid he had an ls tranny that they tuned the car with. He slapped that tranny in and lost 20whp just b/c 4th was so much shorter. Made 404whp at MS and then at nopi it made 380.

**umairejaz** · 09-09-2006, 09:44 AM

wow thats pretty sweet, post up some dyno charts when u get them in

Hmmm..did I hear that right?????
Don't spread misinformation...Tuning has nothing to do with tranny..It reads the Air Fuel Ratio coming out from the exhaust port.

**Vteckidd** · 09-09-2006, 12:09 PM

HAHA

yaeh it shouldnt matter with the trans at all, the load tables and colums arent gear dependant.

Also josh that was on DIFFERENT dynos on different days, so numbers can vary especialyl with a high boosted car.

The problem is that his LS trans doesnt want to come out of gear at 9000rpms. So , even when you throw the cutch in the trans PHYSICALLY wont come out of gear. So it HANGs , and i dont like the sound of a car at 30psi HANGING at 9000rpms. thats when rods stretch.

**iloveboost** · 09-09-2006, 01:06 PM

Haha, was pretty cool seeing my 4th gear topping out at about 145mph, hehe.

LOL, Nopi has their dyno outdoors and its hot as shit. Oh well....

btw daniel...have mike spray nitrous into your intercooler

**iloveboost** · 09-09-2006, 04:44 PM

I don't know if Mike's delicate fingers can handle the touch of anything but a keyboard. =P

**josh green** · 09-10-2006, 12:19 AM

This is what the guy dynoing the car told me. I mean hell it was the one fab guys so I dont see why he would pull some shit out of his ass. Stock ls tranny vs. quaifed gsr, I am sure there is some drive train loss from the quaife, and shorter gearing does affect power. Not that a gsr and ls are far enough apart in gearing but it could make a difference. Also spoolins car was tuned in the same conditions that it was dynoed at, at nopi. Correction was SAE 3, the ONLY other thing it could be was a larger roller, but that is highly doubtful with it being mobile.

p.s. not to mention the motors max rpm was 8200rpm, and my car made 198whp on it which is what it made on you guys's dyno in the same conditions.

**SPOOLIN** · 09-10-2006, 11:51 PM

no that guy dynoing the car was a tard. MY tranny didnt make me lose 30 hp, their traveling miscalibrated dyno was causing the problem. Remember everyone was losing a bushel of power accross the board. The tranny has nothing to do with the tune.

**Vteckidd** · 09-10-2006, 11:53 PM

spoolin, i got a pic fo you

**SPOOLIN** · 09-11-2006, 12:26 PM

i seen it. lol unless you have a better one

**BoostedS2k** · 09-11-2006, 01:01 PM

When is it going to be retuned? That is the question???

**iloveboost** · 09-11-2006, 01:07 PM

After the car comes out of the paint booth, and the JDM GSR transmission arrives and is installed.

Debating on some carbon coated synchros before it's all back together.

**v8killr** · 09-11-2006, 07:08 PM

be carefull man...dont trust that walbro for much more power. make sure SOMEONE watches youre fuel pressure while youre on the dyno. could be disaster man...be CAREFULL!!! such a nice setup to blow up ove a fucking walbro! lol! GOOD LUCK!!!

**iloveboost** · 09-11-2006, 07:09 PM

We'll probably do dual Walbros in there before it's all said and done.

**HeLLo iM iZzY** · 09-11-2006, 08:26 PM

what color you paintin it??

**iloveboost** · 09-11-2006, 08:28 PM

Sebring Silver and Nighthawk Black Pearl.

Pics to come after Nopi.

**BoostedS2k** · 09-11-2006, 09:07 PM

Yeah...Daniel I should be done painting the car once my playschool paint kit comes in.

cool, do that BEFORE you throw it back on the dyno or you may regret it man!!! the most ive seen out of single walbro hp is like 650-675ish whp...and thats just stipid really. PUSHING the limits and that thing will fail sooner or later. :boobies:

**iloveboost** · 09-12-2006, 08:33 AM

I think st00pid tuned a car recently to 706whp on a single Walbro. Not saying I would do the same, just saying it's been done, heh.

**SPOOLIN** · 09-12-2006, 09:58 AM

yeah ive seen people make 700 on a single walbro, gotta upgrade flow capacity in the stock system though and have a good regulator.

**Turbogixxer** · 09-12-2006, 10:35 AM

Actually, the ECU does see what gear it is in (RPM vs Speed) and makes changes to the fuel table for a the gear. Different gearing will put a different load on the engine, thus it will affect the a/f.

Another thing, a transmission is just a TORQUE MULTIPIER, you are rating the horsepower of the engine, not how the transmission will multiply the torque.

**SPOOLIN** · 09-12-2006, 10:51 AM

an ecu does not see gears. they see rev/boost/fuel tables.

Say what?

**SPOOLIN** · 09-12-2006, 11:50 AM

yeah its got FUEL TRIM for the gears but it doesnt mean that changing the gear ratio is going to affect the tune.

**Turbogixxer** · 09-12-2006, 12:12 PM

Oh lord. Think about it. If they have a fuel trim for each gear (meaning you have change the amount of fuel per gear), if you changed a transmission with different gears, you still think the tune will be the same as before?

That brings up another point, if gearing has nothing to do with horsepower output, why do you have to change the fueling per gear? Fuel will follow the VE of a engine.

**Vteckidd** · 09-12-2006, 12:50 PM

LOL i think you guys are reading too much into it.

**EmminoDaGreat** · 09-12-2006, 01:27 PM

volumetric efficency ftw.../\ pretty smart guy...

i WOULD NOT trust that fuel pump with that amount of power....thats my OWN opinon. especially with all that money invested!!! just be SAFE man!!!
