Upsetting Tune

[robboxr6t]

before the tune I was getting about 195 rwkw,

dont get me wrong it made a big difference its just that I expected alot more.

c and v told me that the actuator was only holding 10psi for a little while then it leaked to 7 or 8psi.

by the dyno results the curves look consistant but the power isnt there.

Mate, I aint clued up on the mod's like the other guys here as I haven't had any...but, what I do think is that you should be asking Q's, and how!

As for the actuator bleed off.. (other guys correct me if I'm wrong) 10 psi going down to 7-8 psi would be good I would think, as you don't need peak boost constantly, so that part, I would expect is normal operation. if your actuator was u/s you would only pull about 160 - 170 rwkw in stock form, I know, because that's all I got on the dyno at the dyno day, max 171rwkw with a u/s actuator giving me peak of 3.8 psi levelling to 1.7psi.

good luck on the tune and may HP become your addiction....

This is where I and probably others get confused. I was under the impression when I bought my CAPA Flasher that from the CAPA website:

Stage 1

Ford Flash Tuner.

Increases power up to 280 - 310kW. This power will be achieved with the standard exhaust.

The dyno chart indicates 242.1 kw. This I assumed to be rwkw.

If dynos are an instrument to measure power? It's like having different length rulers but all state they are 30cm long!

I too had a soft acuataor problem.

In stock form it made 195rwkw but when retuned with bigger injectors and stock exhaust it made 240rwkw at 9 psi and if you tried for more it would drop boost.

The power figure stated by Capa is at the flywheel not rwkw.

even their dyno sheets only show 242rwkw

galconn,

It is allmost certain you will get clutch slip at 260rwkw. It wont be undrivable or really bad but you will loose power especially on a nice cold night. I (and I think most) have to replace their clutch at that power level and above.
