Spring Cleaning starts with a 2009 Dyno Day!

Spring Cleaning starts with a 2009 Dyno Day!
So the time is coming again... I think with Nick's fixes on the way and a few additional mods on my end that we should all try to get together to do another dyno day. See who is all interested in getting their car on the dyno.
I'll have my wideband installed sometime this month, as well as a Split Second ESC1 which will correct my lean conditions. I'm gonna try to get a friend to help me with some street tuning first and then I hope to hop onto a dyno for 30mins-1hr to fine tune it and see what we can put down and how much more boost I can add.
Anyone else interested? and know where we can go to get onto a Dynojet?

I would be game! 
I thew up my rims on Kijiji today for sale, I am going to start looking into lighter 16" options. Once they sell I will give Bob a call and if he can put together a package for me
You are starting to get pretty familiar with the Ultimate, any suggestions for a compatible wideband that I can just wire into it?

I'm not that familiar with it, but I did look into the wideband option to allow the emanage to autocorrect the AFRs. You have to buy the optional harness and I think that will hook into your wideband sensor. I'm not gonna go that route tho, I want to custom tune my AFRs as I think that is a better route to go just to make sure the AFRs are where I want them

I guess that is the route to go, although I do want to make sure I am not running too lean with the test pipe in.
#7
My test pipe only came with 1 bung for the O2 fix sensor, and now I have to get the second one welded on so that I can install my wideband.
#8
I was going to, but I backed out after reading up on it. I'm afraid adding the manifold will lean out the car a fair amount while in boost. And right now I am already having a hard enough time not leaning out.
I'd prefer to not be the guinea pig on this one.. if the mod works well with others then perhaps I will consider it. But as my DD car I don't think I want to risk it. I've got my wideband and ESC1 to be installed the next couple weeks, as well as my engine mounts. I think with a good tune and the ESC1 in place I should be able to boost/tune to around 10psi and put down around 190whp on a Dynojet.
I put down 170whp @ 6psi with 12.9AFR last fall. The major limiting factor is the fuel pump/injectors once you get close to 200whp. I don't need more than that tho as the car is already hard enough to handle with this much power

I'm actually not too sure if your test pipe is the same as mine... mine comes with the turbo kit and it bolts to the down pipe from the turbo manifold..
Hmmmm.. plus I kinda feel bad taking your new pipe and giving you my charred up turbo pipe lol..
maybe its best to just leave it be

#15
Not telling you not to get a wideband I would HIGHLY recommend one. I am telling you not to hook it up to your Ultimate and let it self tune itself.
I am saying dyno tuning it is better than the self tune feature from the Ultimate.
#16
So I need just the optional harness and sensor then right? Suggestions on what brand of sensor and where to buy?
^^^^^^^^^
Scratch that... we need to use a tailpipe wideband now. Tons of new parts from WR on the way
T1R Header & Test pipe are up for sale... 350$ for both?

i have the weapon r manifold on the way. i will be running that manifold on my car for a week and then the following week im getting the boost. 
i will be the first in the US to have boost with an upgraded mani. i do wonder what my numbers will be. im hoping to run 6 or 8psi.

Lemme know how it goes and make sure you get someone good to tune it.
I was going to guinea pig the IM but I didn't have the kahonas (sp?) to do it. I need to fix my AFRs and do a few other more important things before I go with the manifold upgrade.
#19
the manifold will not really affect a/f on the n/a car cause the stock computer not throughing a limp CEL will compensate for the added air.
i will be boosting after running around with the manifold.
yeah i got the t1r kit with the greddy ultimate.
