I am new to the turbo D series realm and am going to pick up my engine next week. I am curious to know what I can make reliably for horsepower once the engine is tuned with hondata. To start with I will be using a Vafc.
Here are the specs:

d16z6
ARP head studs
steel headgasket
eagle rods
JE pistons
All new OEM bearings
Cast DRAG manifold
T3
FMIC
Venom fuel rail
750cc injectors
FPR
stage 4 clutch
38mm wastegate

The motor was being tuned and on the first pull the clutch gaveway but the car made 258 whp and 248tq at 4200rpms on 13psi.

What can I safely run for boost on this setup with an AFC tune? And how about hondata on the dyno?
Just curious what I am getting myself into here...
thanks

go ask the guy that built your engine and started to tune
i think you can expect like 20 more hp with the AFC rather then crappy *** hondata (not enough cells to tune :P)

 

i say you abandon hondata and the dont use the afc for tuning (i still have it for bling factor) and run chrome on a p06 ( i think thats the right ecu, i dont mess with anything but f/h engines)

 

All that work on the internals for a T3?? You probably should have invested in a T3/T4 instead.

 

Crome owns you.

 

sell the afc, get a bigger turbo and ditch that crappy drag unit, it has really **** poor wastegate placement to boot. Then you should be doing much better.

 

I say 700HP

 

according to the statistics section of this site, 87.3% of hmt users own that software!! i use open office instead...

how are you ideling it with 750cc injectors and an afc if you dont have anything tuned with hondata yet? super low to no fuel pressure and -50? i think you could easily get 830.2 out of that setup
