12 psi dyno run for 140hp?
#22
Seriously, that's more than I'm making right now I'm sure. I'm only running 9psi though. For the cars I can run dead even with, I estimate I'm pushing 155-160 by comparing power/weight ratios(calculating 12% drivetrain losses for their crank hp).
173hp is actually a good deal more respectable than 140hp with more (EDIT, less) boost.
40% may be an overestimate, but he's missing atleast 50whp there, which is HALF of what he should anticipate as an improvement of N/A power.
There's a big difference between missing 15-20 ponies due to a shitty downpipe and bandaids...and missing half of what you built the setup for due to a crummy tune or whatnot.

Ok, then we were saying EXACTLY the same thing.
40% of 240whp is . . . . 96whp.
140+96=236~240
What he should be making.
I was being sarcastic, sorry for the misunderstanding.
You're right, he is way behind his potential, which I think we've all posted plenty about. Maybe we should get back to helping him figure out where he's ******* up.

Thanks for the pointers.

No offense taken, I have not changed that setting, I am still very new to megasquirt, so I need to play with the settings. The car already had the MS in it when I bought it, and the only tweaks I have done were at the dyno (done by the guy at the shop). I am hesitant because I don't want to blow the motor by doing something dumb.
Thanks for the pointers.

Please pull out the timing gun, or go buy a cheap HF one at least.
Go through Brain's instructions which entail:

I adjusted the battery voltage correction to 0.1 v and the injector times to 1, I still need to burn these changes to the ECU. (please let me know if it looks correct in the table pictured, seeing that I am going from a factor of 10 to 1 I just want to make sure I am not going to go too lean or anything)
The overboost from what I could see (not hooked up to the ECU) was 195kpa, I bumped it to 215kpa (table pictured)
I will need to get a timing gun (learn to use it, which should not be an issue) and ensure that the timing is done correctly. I might wait for the weekend for that one.
thanks!

I need to fix a couple things first (hook up my wideband, fix the cracked hose I have, do something about my spark blowing out), but I will try to do a couple pulls on the street and data log in MS before I change my ECU settings to the ones I posted last night.
But I am seeing the boost guage get in the 12-14 range and the log from the dyno which was hooked to my intake manifold was reading a max boost of 12 psi. I will take a picture of the dyno sheet and post it tonight if that helps on the boost question.

no cat, stock downpipe, free flow exhaust only a resoniator, no muffler
The boost might be leaking through the hose I need to replace (it is not a main intake line but could be a factor). Also, the air filter is not the largest (it is a HKS hemisphere one), I am looking to move to a larger cone filter.
Any other thoughts?
