I had put methanol in the tank a while ago and as such it needed a touch up, now that it is running 98 again. Did a power run for sh*ts and giggles and it made 308rwkw. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97278-puffwagons-dyno-tuning-adventures/page/12/#findComment-1725540 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shed bits arrived/arriving/assembled today/soon?

Get that OBD2 port fixed so it can be tuned, then you might have a chance 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/97278-puffwagons-dyno-tuning-adventures/page/12/#findComment-1725544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice and flat, I was gonna check it with the laser but I forgot. I'll check tomorrow, hopefully I've done a decent job, I think it is. Whenever the weather is cool enough I'm going to spend some time dialling in the wot fuel. I also need to insert the wideband data into the logs. It won't make much more power, but it's a part of tuning that needs to happen, that I've been putting off.
