gordy.r Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) So today I thought I'd get a little dyno done to see what the car is pushing out. Now I was a little shocked to see only 384.5bhp, as I was expecting over the 400 mark, although the dyno operator did say it was a hot day and he believed that on the road it was a 400+bhp car all day long. Things that did hamper the dyno were the auto box, even in manual mode, with overdrive off selected, from a run at 1500rpm the box was still dropping to 2nd gear from having 3rd (D) selected. Also, it was noticed my fuelling was running lean registering at 15. So.... Any suggestions? Bin the 440cc jspec injectors in favour of 550 or bigger? Independent fuelling? AEM ecu? Any help much appreciated.

Supraleeturbo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd put stock air box back on mate and maybe and fcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdavies Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sorry, forgot to mention it has fcd fitted Which FCD ? HKS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 HKS induction will be fine mate, ran mine for years. Took it off while car was being mapped and got a 0.3hp increase so makes no odds. Fueling will be maxed but also there is a lean spot on the turbo changeover. A piggy back would sort that though so worth looking at along with larger injectors. I went 650 drop in's over the 550 uk's but 550s are fine (you need the ignitor pack too iirc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Which FCD ? HKS ? Yeah HKS FCD, brand new as well, only 2 months old, set at position 9. HKS induction will be fine mate, ran mine for years. Took it off while car was being mapped and got a 0.3hp increase so makes no odds. Fueling will be maxed but also there is a lean spot on the turbo changeover. A piggy back would sort that though so worth looking at along with larger injectors. I went 650 drop in's over the 550 uk's but 550s are fine (you need the ignitor pack too iirc). Cheers, I think I'll have to have a look at some bigger injectors and a piggy back to sort this out, don't want to risk any harm to the engine whilst running lean.

baldy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If that's hitting 15 afr on boost there's something wrong. I'm bpu on 440's n run 10 far at more boost than you. Might need injectors cleaning and flow testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Could it be the HKS FCD ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Looks like I'll need to be getting it looked at then. Don't want to cause any potential harm to the engine or internals. Would bigger injectors be a good way to go or should I stick with the 440's and have them looked at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what your end goal is, I've been bpu on 440's for over 10 years no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 End goal is eventually to run a small single aiming for approx 600bhp. Won't be for a long time so want to build up the rest of the car with the intention to change once all supporting mods are in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case I'd say, get it running right as it is first, you might fork out for injectors and a piggy back, but not actually fix the issue you have. You might just mask it by running bigger injectors and an ecu to control them. Get it right, then upgrade is my opinion Edited June 17, 2015 by baldy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Were you running 1.2bar? My brother's Aristo pushed out neigh on exactly the same figures (384.9) but he was boosting at just over a bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother's Aristo pushed out neigh on exactly the same figures (384.9) but he was boosting at just over a bar. Well.... My BC says 1.2 bar when I'm accelerating hard on the road, but on the dyno they only registered 1.1 bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
