spec r running a bar what bhp?

[crazymat666]

hi

if i had my spec r running a bar of boost what bhp would it roughly be at bearing in mind it was standard before?

i had fmic with hard pipe kit
full exhuast system
blitz filter
uprated fuel pump
think thats it

not much over standard mate, you need to fit a set of grade 7 plugs, mod your standard re-circ valve or fit an aftermarket one, fit a method of boost control prefferably an electronic controller and then have your first map to bring it all together. then you should be 300hp or thereabouts....

knew i forgot something haha i have a hks bov on there too i have the plugs done too.so you think with all that done which it has been and running a bar would be around 300bhp?

nope, but i wouldnt mind betting that you're close to inducing det with those mods and that boost with no adjustment to the fuelling mate..... i would seriously reccommend a mapping session, having the timing, plug gap and heat range checked and a form of boost control. this is how you will get your power without those the rest of the modifications won't be making the difference they could.....

am i right in thinking that the boost goes up to around 0.8/0.9 bar and holds steady, then at higher rpm it slowly pushes round towards a bar?

i'd say talk to steve @fctuning, i still haven't used him yet but i definitely will asa, he seems to really know his onions and has been mapping s15 owners cars a lot lately with awesome results

as above

BCPR7ES gapped to 0.7mm
independent electronic boost controller for quick control over the turbocharger
ECU
and your pretty much sorted :

Dont just TURN the boost up fella... please reminds me of the old cossie days 10-15 years ago when buddies of mine used to just crank it up

atleast check it on your local dyno -

after all... its your pride n joy.. so why cut corners.. Do it propery 1st time, 1 time and you will be happy

how much is a run on the dyno mate?i been meaning to get mine done as mine is runnin about 1 bar boost when i bought it,have'nt driven it much so not really got round to having it on the rollers yet,defo something i want to do though so i know roughly what has been done....

 

[steve_fctuning]

Well I used and tune at many dynos around London

main ones being the ones listed on my LINKS page of my older site (accessed by clicking ABOUT on my newer site)

i think bob @ hayes engineering only charges like 50-60quid .. something like that, same as Danny @ Motorworx and Gary @ Crazy Horses Racing .

ill be there sat setting up a couple of engines so feel free to pop down to hayes engineering this saturday if you want and ill get it all strapped down and tested for you with a full report

 

[pegliobaglio]

I don't think I am able to this weekend mate,but hopefully next week will be about will email you through your site if that's ok? To sort out getting it done...
