Tuned

[F6 UTE]

I hooked up a 4.8 0-60mph and 13.22 107mph in a stock typhoon with 1000km on the clock.

I had the priviledge of tuning a BF Tornado 6-speed auto ute from one of the Perth forum members yesterday, with Barry from BPT Motorsport in attendance as well.

The ute had approximately 400km's on the odo and put down a baseline of 225rwkw in stock trim. With the addition of bigger injectors, bigger dump pipe, twin cats and a cat back system and a retune it now pumps out a healthy 297.5rwkw  It makes a calculated 750nm at the flywheel now, with the stock power output showing bang on 550nm.

On the road the ute went like a cut snake, until a hose from the turbo blew off. That was soon rectified. The power delivery with the auto is truly phenominal, and doesn't stop pulling. I'd say a 6-speed manual with the same power, or even a little more, would have a hard job keeping up with the auto - from a standing start or on the roll.

Graph is attached.

Greg, I'm jealous now and want one  Ben, you'll have no chance now

Looks like a fixed dyno duty cycle by the look of that torque curve. Have you got one of boost?

Negative, I don't tune like that. The actuator assembly will not hold more than 13psi boost at peak rpm.

Affirmative, there is one of boost - it follows the same line at the torque curve.

Why is that?
