Heading to the dyno in the morning

[DaveH]

Got the car running on E98 last week, ended up adding quite a bit to the fuel map even tho I now have 1600cc and 440cc injectors (2040cc total per cylinder). I ironed out the cold start problems this afternoon and then loaded up the trailer and we are heading out to Watertown in the morning. Should be a fun but stressful day seeing if the motor will like 40 psi and/or the 155 shot. Hoping for the best, planning for the worst. We are bringing the camcorder so hopefully have some cool vid late tomorrow.

[z31]

Im going to say 900 WHP :icon_study:

[Guest]

I'm going w/ 1185 whp...just my guess

[KA-T_240]

Pretty sure chuck is closer then jason. I was going to get around the 1200 range.

[treimche]

My guess is 1050-1100. I sure hope its low though.

[Rexwagon]

You guys are all wrong, it will be 1400 whp

As usual, things never go the way you hope. We got to Watertown and got on the dyno and did some drivability tuning. That all ironed out pretty quick. Then we did a quick pull to see where the boost level was, it was on wastegate spring only, which should have been ~11 psi, but it made 17-18 psi for some reason. I don't know if the two wastegates should react different than one (don't think so) but anyway... the car was horribly rich so we tweaked the fuel map and pulled some fuel out. Did another pull and it was still horribly rich and breaking up that Andy let off at 6200 rpm. Then the car shut off. Never to start again. We got no spark, and the injectors aren't firing. We diagnosed it as best we could but the only thing we can figure is the AEM is the fried. Gotta do some more testing on now that I got it back home, hopefully it's an easy fix. Anyway, yeah... it made 394 rwhp.

ha.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck Dave, Sometimes you have to shrug your shoulders and say WTF.....

I sure hope we have better luck with Jason's car, we are driving to IL to tune....

[KA-T_240]

That sucks dave! Hopefully you get stuff figure out quick....

If I remeber right, didn't you have issues with a AEM box before?

that sucks to hear Dave! best of luck fixing the problem!

[DaveH]

I had some firmware probs with the AEM a few year back, but it's been pretty flawless the last few years. We wired 2 low imp injectors in series on each injector circuit, so that may be the problem. Gotta make some phone calls tomorrow and see. Crappy camera phone pic.

[Rexwagon]

that does suck. so how much horse are you expecting?
