Post your engine specs.

Post your results and graphs of your runs.

haha ^ ill do that

bring a spare set of spark plugs to swap in when you are done tuning. if you arent already, you should be running NGK BKR7E.

i'm excited to see how well that clutch holds up!

 

[vabreaker20011]

so run the 7's not 6's? im about to pick my other set of plugs up in a min.

im not sure how much boost i want to run im thinking start at 15psi and go up if im not pushing it.

yea if the clutch holds up it will be the best 180 i spent!!!!

 

[vabreaker20011]

now i was wondering if it is really worth me buying a blaster 2 coil for the dyno?

 

[therieldeal]

7's are colder plugs. i've always run the ones i mentioned above... not a single plug related issue.

dont get the -11 ones, they are gapped way to large. the ones i mentioned come gapped to .032"

 

[vabreaker20011]

damn it i got 8 of the 6's - 11 can not find the 7's anywhere around here. u think its going to be that much of an issue with the 6's - 11?

 

[therieldeal]

well the problem is that you are going to need to set your gap down to ~.030" or so. when you crank the -11's down that far, the ground electrode ends up at a wierd angle... not ideal.

the heat range 6's probably wont be an issue, but you never know. too hot of a plug = detonation

i buy mine from advance auto parts... BKR7E they usually have to order them and it takes a day.

 

[vabreaker20011]

wow that just messed me up!! i dont know what im going to do now i have to be there at 11 tomorrow morning and im at work now so cant really get anything done

 

[vabreaker20011]

ok i found 8 of them had to call 6 places but found em!!!!

 

[woowoo16]

im actually excited for this.

 

[therieldeal]

haha nice!

you always want to tune with the same plugs you plan to run, so its good that you were able to find 8 of them. would have sucked to run into deto problems halfway through your tuning session with the 6's

 

[vabreaker20011]

woo your excited im scared lol just hoping for the best dont want to joint the boom boom club lol

 

[vabreaker20011]

well today is the day i still need to change my oil before i go and smoke my intercooler pipe to make sure there is no leaks

WHAT OIL SHOULD I RUN FOR THE DYNO??????


THE MOTOR HAS 175 MILES ON IT NOW AND ALOT OF IDLING TIME

 

[therieldeal]

personally i would have put a couple hundred more break in miles on it before going to the dyno, but i'm sure you will be fine.

everything i'm reading online seems to suggest 500-1500 mile break in on regular dino oil. so... i wouldn't switch to synth yet but i would buy a good high quality dino oil

i just dont have a good tune at all on it thats why im going to dynotune it today........um really not looking to push it to the max just get a good tune.

 

[vabreaker20011]

im sure i have atleast 15-20hrs on the motor

 

[woowoo16]

What are the results

 

[vabreaker20011]

203whp and 178wtq at 12 psi............my blow off cant handle going above 10psi witch sucks cuz i wanted to get alil more out of her but i know she still has alot more in her
