yeah, I would be very happy at 324 reliably.

Sweet! Just remember to run your car by a different dyno when you pick it up from him, to make sure he isn't selling you a pretty piece of paper.

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

*LOL* good point a never really thought of someone doing that, But I also felt that I had no business owning a turbo honda and not knowing how to tune myself. Thus the last year I spent researching until the wee hours of the morning learning how to tune myself. And the only problem with that is I find I lie to myself nonstop. It never ends.

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

Different dynos read differently, but the most you should see is 15-20% difference between a Mustang (low) and Dynojet (high). Sometimes larger differences occur, that aren't intentional... for example, the dyno operator could be a ------- idiot. I have met a few that were. :l

324 whp on a Mustang would be 375 whp on a Dynojet, or at least I replicated 325 and 375 going between aforementioned Dyno Brands with Stevo's Civic.

So basicaly what your saying is that a hp number doesn't really mean to much. Unless you have something to sell.

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

BTW JD, remind me never to ride with Goforth again, Stevo's car is ------- incredible. Hp #'s dont do it justice. That thing has TORQUE where it counts. A daily driven street car that can eat LITER bikes ON TOP> :S

150mph when its snowing is scary, even if the road wasnt wet...

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

Yah it doesn't suck. F/H motors are freaking sweet, shame the transmissions suck.

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

I tuned my teg myself @ 16psi. However there is no way in hell I'm tuning a car for 25lbs on stock sleeves. I'll leave that to someone with a bit more experience.

JD, I trust the guy as some of my close friends know him personally. He's a douchebag but he knows his ----.

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

whos ran a ford 60/63 T3 on a LS? im shooting for 250 reliable, will this turbo do that efficiently? will i need to upgrade my map sensor? when did you see full boost?

Re: Max power for a b18b
 

Yeah Ive never met him but Ive Estalked all of his posts and came out with some knowledge.
I would actually have Jd tune a car for me if he lived closer. I would also let Blundar do it. And I'd trust Leed to. But when it came down to it I realised All I was doing was reading about tuning all the time anyway and for the price of a tune I could get all the tools to do it with ,so I decided to learn to tune for myself.

Now if I had some really expensive high dollar bling factor setup I'd probably have Dave do it at zerolift.

But honestly all I have to lose is a 150 dollar f22. That at the moment loves 5 psi on an evo 8 turbo. I had to drop the boost back until I get my fuel pump from Xencron and a few other goodies. it was at 100% duty cycle around 8ish psi on the stock pump with 510cc injectors. This evo8 turbo from an 04 evo was totaly worth all the trouble. it's twin scroll and builds full boost at 2500 then the power comes on really smooth.

*L* then my tranny broke and it's sitting on jack stands waiting until thursday when I have time to put it back together.
