Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 5m 14d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 30/11/08 10:35 AM Share Posted 30/11/08 10:35 AM Since coming on here... I always thought the more power you had, the less difference you would feel as your power increased...ie. you have a 150rwkw tune and a 200rwkw, you would notice the power change much more than a 200rwkw tune vs a 250rwkw tune...So, I have a few tunes loaded into my capa box.. Valet (3000rpm), 13psi(320rwkw) and 16psi(350rwkw)...I thought I wouldn't really notice the difference in my tunes... Well f*ck me dead...Tonight I loaded my 13psi tune, as I have been driving on the big tune since it was first tuned... HUGE difference!!! I thought you would barely notice it... I think the difference I felt was a massive amount of torque, still plenty of wheelspin, but not the balltearing throw you back in your seat stuff...Also with the 16psi tune, it pulls all the way to 6000rpm... You know, keeps really accelerating... But the 13psi sort of hits 4000rpm and doesnt keep charging... Feels like I have hit peak power and it isn't charging...Is this because it hits full boost earlier? Eh, I dunno...I think I might just leave my 13psi tune in and only load the 16psi tune on cruises and drags....What do you reckon? Stock BA II bottom end...

Besides, a dyno figure is just a number. Your tune didn't change from 335 to 350 it was just a different dyno run chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And car has run on another dyno and made 350 there as well...Not worried about aggressive tunes etc... 350 is still 350... Pulls 300rwkw from 4000rpm...How much can the stock rods handle? Anyone know the lowest power someone has blown the arse end out of their engine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in for a service, got it back and it went like the clappers, just that it backfired once or twice. I told them the next day and they reflashed it back to standard. When it was pulled down for a rebuild a year or so later, #2 rod was slightly bent. It's all in the tune. A bad 220kw tune can bend rods.

A back fire here and a back fire there, there a rod, here a rod, everywhere a rod rod...But it was not the generic that killed it. Check out this crank bearing from a 55k old motor.Every single bearing was similar with most down to the copper. There was no ping and that is not a ping pattern. And even if there was, there aint no way 30 mins of ping will do that to every single bearing. More likely it was a bad line bore. Now that is a pox build from Ford...
