Had the car put on the dyno to test the Capa generic tunes to ensure all was running well. BF 6spd auto - Mods so far are Monza style FMI, K+N air filter + typhoon lower intake. The result I was given was not to run the Capa tunes due to the A/F ratio going to high. They did a power run stock and it made 232 rwkw. Loaded in the 8psi tune and made 279 rwkw. They would not run the car with the 10 psi boost level as they said it was not safe. When I looked at the dyno chart the A/F reading on 8psi looked to be in the high 12's, I didn't think this was too bad? I was advised that the A/F ratio should be 11 - 12? Any feed back on this.

I now have the car booked in for a custom tune and upgraded fuel injectors. I am hoping for 300 rwkw.

yea mate, high 12's is pushing it a bit.

with the 10psi generic my car just touched the 12:1 line, but all cars respond differently.

considering at the Nizpro seminars simon says the sweet spot for these motors is 13.1 afr.

Headsex tuned my car to a consistant 12.6 and its never pinged once.

apples and oranges really, depends who and HOW the car is tuned.

IMO though, the tuner that aborted the dyno run cuz "high 12's are dangerous" is a twit, and your going to come out with a RICH AS tune that's sacrificing power.

I don't think the tuner was a tit at all. The car was run with generic tunes, stock actuator and stock injectors - not alot of room for safety when giving it a boot full on a hot South Australian day. If the car is driven on a very cold night with an AFR like that, the car may overboost and lean right out.

Pending the results of the custom tune I would say the tuner has been responsible with his customers car...

Fark I sound like a boring old fart...

The car has now been custom tuned with larger injectors. The A/F ratio now sits fraction over 12 all through the rev range on 10 psi and is making 306 rwkw. The power is very progressive and makes max power at 5200 rpm dropping off at around 6000rpm.

So now it makes more power at lower revs and does it easy and safely. I was told that it made over 320 rwkw but was slightly detuned for reliability.

Hi typhoon_freak, The only other mods I have are Monza style FMI and K+N air filter and typhoon lower intake. On stanadard tune with these mods the car made 232rwkw, so does a custom tune with injectors = another 70 rwkw? Attached is the Dyno printout? Any comments welcome.
