since the tracks are closed....
and I can't really enjoy my car in 20 degree weather, I might as well go play around on a dyno. Going this Saturday at noon. 12psi on the JWT ECU to see what type of power that is. If it is 350whp or less than I will get a 13psi WG spring and run that daily. This will make me decide if I will stick with the JWT ECU or go a different route this spring. I want everything set for some track days in April.

MF'er, The spring I got that was supposed to be .8 bar (Big Red) is not, it's a .4 bar (small red). I could combine my .7 bar (big yellow) and my .4 bar (small red) and run at 1.1 bar....I think not though. Will probabl dyno anyhow since I was looking forward to it, but with the stock ECU on 9-10 psi instead. **** like this always happens to me. I had a feeling when I saw the spring that it wasn't right but it's been so long since I saw one out of a WG I just took the guys word for it.

These pulls are from the same dyno I have used since the turbo install www.svspower.com.
Stock ECU @ 9.3 psi in 3rd gear.....359 whp & 344 wtq

Stock ECU @ 9.3 psi in 4th gear........375 whp & 350 wtq

JWT ECU @ 10 psi. Red is 4th gear and blue is 3rd gear...... 310 whp & 301 wtq and 301 whp & 288 wtq respectively
[
All on video which will be up later tonight or in the next couple days. Here are a few pics though

I've got to think it is, by a significant margin.
By the way guys, this shop is absolutely awesome in every way. Sweet setup, tons of SICK cars (and I mean cars that put out more HP with half their spark plugs missing than any maxima does) everyone there was the nicest ever. Ron Jr. (the owner's son) was showing us what's cool about most of the cars in there, volunteering what's unique and what's planned for each car without us even asking. Let us use the dyno for almost two hours and only charged for 1 hour, as many pulls with wideband as we wanted, etc. I was thoroughly impressed. All they requested was that we not take pics or video of the setups as some of the owners want to keep things on the DL.
Congrads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats a monster # with only 9.5 PSi. What was your goal, 400hp? 12 psi spring and you might be there.
Why can't you drive that thing in he winter? Mine runs like a scalded dog in the cold. You dont have snow all the time do you?

wow holy **** nice numbers...........im thinking of chucking my jwt now because thats crazy......thats 70 more whp on stock ecu.......very nice numbers very impressed. Whats the most you can push out boost wise out of a stock ecu? And what kinda fule setup do you have thanks mike.
Nice numbers Mike. Did you get the auterra and datalog timing? If so, what are you seeing with the SAFC corrections?
Ron Jr. is the bomb. Last time I was there, we dynoed for two hours for something like $75 and he even let me run it so we could try and put down better numbers. He's a nice guy. I want to go after hours sometime soon and bring a six pack.
Did he show you the Viper Run Files?

Fuge.....I just typed a novel length reply to everything but the post didn't go through. I am not typing that again
Thanks for all the comments guys! I have had a grinn on my face all day long.
I did have 100 oct in the tank and of course my 3" cut out was open.

He wanted 375ish he just figured it would take 13psi or so on the JWT to get him there, he didn't think he could get there on stock timing.
You can't drive in the winter here because of snow and cold. You can drive but you can't "drive" if you know what I'm saying. What's the point of driving your car if you can't hook til 4th gear because you are on summer tires and the pavement is 10 degrees...

one question why even dyno in 3rd?

Because the last time he dyno'd it was in third gear as well and we wanted a direct comparison to last time. Obviously things change on a rolling dyno for turbo cars because the load is significantly different in higher gears, thus you get quicker spool like is evident from these dyno runs.
Also, we had basically all the time we wanted to do all the runs we wanted, but since he wasn't making any tuning changes there wasn't much else to do besides swap ECU and try both 3rd and 4th to see how much the difference would be. After we left we realized that mike should have tried to dyno with his cutout closed, to see the difference it made but we forgot to.

Here's two vids. Highest JWT run and highest stock run.

do you know if JWT uses the same timing thru the rpm range for your turbo ecu as they use for the supercharger tune? Just wondering because I am getting ready to get the s/c program, but I don't want it if I am going to have to take massive losses. The reason I ask is because there are supercharged guys who have made more power than you did on 10 psi on the JWT ecu.
Congrats on the numbers!!! That's awsome!

Ok, I don't know what the fuc is going on. I tried to make another long post anwsering everyone's questions but it did not go through again. I will just post some comparison graphs once I get the run files from SVS.

He's been doing that for months now.
The only reason he put 100 in was that we were thinking of messing with the boost controller to raise his boost if the numbers weren't where he wanted them to be, but turns out we didn't need to raise the boost at all.




Now THAT is an enthusiast.
