realisitc expectations

[Alloy]

So I've just changed the oil at 3,300 miles, which was probably 2k too long...but I was wanting to see what kind of average low gains I can expect from the few mods I will have completed.

Mods list:
JLT CAI
Turbosmart BOV Kompact
MAPerformance Turbo back Hi flo catted and resonated exhaust
Cobb Tuner

So my question stems from the fact that this is not using the MAPerformance Intake and also using a "Catted" DP as opposed to the non "catted" one. So I realize there will be a horsepower loss there.

So average "expected" lows is what I was wanting to get. That way I'll know if there's a problem when I get a few Dyno runs done after the install in completed. If I get more, great. If I get the same low #'s as posted then I'll already have been expecting that. Oh and I have 3,300 miles with a base Eco automatic.

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, Adam stated that you will lose 5-10HP by using a catted DP. That number might increase as you pass 500HP, as the cat is a restriction but I am unsure as to when it becomes a major limiting factor.

Are you just running the COBB ots maps or are you using a custom file from MAP?

 

[greg hazlett]

What octane gas?

 

[Nihil]

at the wheels around 290-300hp and 350-370 torque.

Running 93 oct OTS Cobb map. Will have file tuned by Adam, once I get the DP and exhaust installed this weekend. So it seems the next step would be to get the MAP IC. I'd like to get as close to 420 tq at the wheels as possible w/out upgrading turbo using 93 oct gas.

Yea for the low range I would probably guess the same as Nihil

I also agree with Nihil you will see 385-390 ft pound of tq. I have map p1.5 with custom e30 tuning and make 410tq.

What additional part does the MAP 1.5 have?

Intercooler hard piping and v port bov. The car made 352/410 on stock turbo.

Wow. Does the BOV make much of a difference when going from the Kompact model to the V port? Or is it more of the new piping keeping the temps cooler?

 

[15svo]

I'm not sure if there is a difference in bov.

It's the gas he's using.

It's the gas he's using.

I just read the posting Adam had up there about the gains he acheived with the E30. ;)
