Just Had My Car Tuned With A Capa Tuning Box

[Romulus]

Had Simon from Extreme Ford Tuning supply me with a tuning box loaded with the stock program and a 10 psi program.

My car is totally stock, about all I've done so far is filled it up twice. It's a 6spd Jan build.

Stock it made 209rwkw, with the 10 psi program it turned just over 260rwkw, 260.7rwkw to be exact on the dyno at Active Automotive here in Perth. I'm running the car on BP Ulitmate and the AFR's were around 11.7:1 peak power.

Love the way it feels, it has picked up heaps of mid range. It's amazing how quick the car accelarates, seems like the trans needs more gears

I'd hazard a guess and say the car is at the limits of it's fuel system now so I'll look at installing the bigger injectors and pump I have, plus change the front mount IC and do the exhaust as well.

300+rwkw here we come

Good stuff mate!!

Be sure to keep us posted on how you go with the injector+pump+cooler!!

I will be very interested to see what you get with these mods!! :o

Are you going to go for a custom tune?

Good result did you simply just download the tune that come in the box and check air fuel mixture's or was it custom tuned

I recall going to the Herrod demo night a few months ago, when they showed off the then new Flash Tuner. I saw them too make 250rwkw on a dead stock xr6T ute, 5speed - using the 10psi map. It was very concering to see AFR's of 13.5 on full noise.

So I want to know if you had a custom tune done when your flash was installed, and how much was you charged (if you dont mind saying). No doubt that the 11.??? AFR you have is alot safer than what I had seen.

Let me also mention that the factory Air/Fuel was a suprise to me, which was between 13.5 - 14.5 AFR.

Are you still using factory injectors cause it was my belief that these ran out of puff at about 230rwkw.

I'm not at liberty to discuss pricing - my advise is to ring your local tuner and discuss pricing and options with them.

My AFR's are at 12.0:1 at 5000rpm using the 10psi program. From 5000rpm to 5500 rpm the AFR's rise fast, indicating the fuel system has maxed out. To overcome this problem the boost level is dropped to 8 psi over 5000rpm. The car still has the stock injectors, fuel pump, air box and exhaust system. Basically, it's as it was when it rolled out the factory.
