Yeah, but that can't be a 1200 RPM difference and I'm running a bigger turbine. Headwork helps more at high end where a stock engine's VE goes to ****, mine doesn't.
Hustler, what's your AFR's at 100kPa, 120kPa, 140kPa, 150kPa, etc? I have found that running this AFR target map helped spool a ton. I wouldn't be afraid to run it on a track either.

With Miatas, I have found the opposite. Ben has said his car makes more power at 11.4 than 11.8. Hustler found MBT on pump gas (
) at 11.6 or so. I was able to add 3-4 degrees of timing by reducing AFRs by 8/10ths of a point, and from what I've seen on other cars that 3-4 degrees of timing is worth 15-20whp.

Holy ****.
Awesome. Still trying to figure out some little **** on mine. I want to do the VTPS mod and see if it helps throttle response any on mine and then find someone around here to tune the damn thing.

BRE in concord (I think concord) tunes MS, but I haven't talked to them nor do I know anything about them.
I might go talk to them. On Fridays, they do offer 50 bucks and hour rental on their dyno. though, might be worth taking advantage of.
I've got a few friends with trucks and trailers, I was thinking about a road trip to ATL and a visit DIY if they were available.
I really want to get this thing decently tuned for the #1 CCR event at Carowinds on the 22nd.

8.5:1 vs 9.5:1
and...
if you look at the tach, it makes 11psi at 3800, 15psi at 4200. According to the MS log, its later. (my rev limitter is set at 7100hard, and it looks like 7500rpm on the tach)
Chucky, thanks for the advice but I'm not leaning the AFR out in boost because I lost whp from leaning it out on the dyno. I'm eventually going to get to the dyno again, but I'm not going to change **** arbitrarily.

I just did ramp runs with this as a ballpark target.

Yeah, that's richer than ideal for spool up land. Again, are you sure the wastegate arm thingy is adjusted so that it's tight? I would think you could spool that turbo better.

1) I spent time and money on the dyno to dial it in
2) autotune doesn't work (like it won't tune)
3) did you look at my log? its tuned
4) I don't run my AFR as lean as you because the dyno suggested otherwise
do you seriously think I spent money and time on a dyno without fine-tuning anything? At what point in the thread did you assume I auto-tuned and called it a day?
If you want to help, which I would really appreciate, please provide a bit more detail considering I've posted the log and table. Just telling me to "not use auto-tune" is moderately insulting.

At spoolup, it needs to be played with too. There's two schools of thought: either you lean it out and the heat spools the turbo, or you fatten it up and the exhaust flow spools the turbo. **** if I care, though, my turbo is the size of a grape

I dono, I've never been to the dyno. I'd say mid 11s are what you want to shoot for, unless more fuel lets you run more timing and get more power. If you're like Hustler and you can get to max peak torque on pump gas, then there's no use in fattening it up further.

I originally had it ALLL figured out. I'd tune the spark agressive and it pig rich as soon as I go into boost. I'm talking straight 11:1 from 100kPa up. Well, it worked, but I got full boost at 4500 RPMs. Kinda sucked. And the thing just felt like it fell on its' face at boost onset. Well, because it was.
So I started adjusting timing. My map was retarded 7* from what I thought would be optimal for MBT (as a funny aside, I should post it and compare it to Huslters). So I advanced my map 4* and found it helped everywhere, but it still had that fall-on-your-face feel going into boost.
So I started leaning it out. After making 10 different AFR tables and logging all in the same two day period, I settled on the one I posted above. Going leaner would help spool a spec, but I found my map as the best compromise of rich when in boost, and lean enough to have decent spool. I'll also note that I had to pull a spec of timing in the low boost region when going from 11:1 to 12:1. Overall, it was better though.
However, as some here have mentioned, at full boost, rich and advanced is the winning combo. Rich keeps you safe and lets you dial in a bit more advance which makes more power, safely. Sure, you could run say 12.8:1 and pull 4* out of the high boost cells. Probably make similar power. But your setup will now have higher EGT's and be on the verge of knock. Where my rich and advanced setup is safer and has lower EGT's.
And by the way, I have a thread titled "AFR's and powa" if yall wanna take this discussion there instead of hustler's dyno thread.

I hit mbt at 16psi from 5900-7200rpm. Then I pulled 2-point in the VE table to get torque up, but lost hp and torque. I used the eddy control dyno as it was intended...to lock wheel speed. I adjusted both fuel and spark independently, and these tables are the end result.
I hope this thread shows everyone here that dynotuning is worth every penny. I gained 29whp at 11psi before I started upping the boost...not bad for $100 in dyno time and a little "trial and error."
However, every motor is different, and although many people here expressed an opinion as an absolute, no one tried those ideas on a dyno. The best information in this thread came from Ben by suggesting someone who knows what they're doing tune the car...because I'm lost, lol.
so, who's going to be the first to load up my spark map on a 9.5:1, 91-octane motor and make INSANE POWERZ!!! I'm certain that someone will do it.

Either way your tune looks to be good.. Myself I would definetly pull fuel during spoolup. This has improved my spoolup on every vehicle. Also another thing you can try instead of pulling fuel on the top-end is advance timing some more. On a crappy non-crossflow head engine I would add 4-5 degrees after torque peak.
One thing I just noticed you are running a cat. If you were running rich for a few days then you could have burnt up your cat and clogged it. Might be something to check out.
