cheers guys
so......... tuning
took the trip down to see Henry yesterday (
TripleH Performance, triplehperformance, ) , i know how much hype there is about TDi and they no doubt are good at what they do, but i've always used Henry as he really does know his stuff and as always i was over the moon with his work
the only down side was the heat yesterday!! ambient temps were almost 36 degrees in his workshop, compared to the 18 degrees my B18 was tuned on it does make a fair difference to the power graphs. first couple runs it was pulling almost 210whp on the base map but then after 2 hours of tuning it was getting pretty toasty in there!
tuning was done to circa 13:1 afr up to 6k and then richens up a bit to keep things cool
anyways here is the most important chart, before and after, hi comp B18C6 vs standard k20a2
the k20 has far more useable power, as much as 25whp up between 5.5k and 6.5k! it is only from 7.5k up that the B18 takes over with its higher peak output
on the road the difference is night and day, k20 is an animal haha, so much grunt and as a testament to the mapping is so so smooth to drive
couple videos on the dyno
