After the initial R&D of parts and we were able to receive some of the finished products (Intake pipe & Intercooler pipes) in we were able to get the car back together last Wednesday for our event here. With hosting our Sport Compact last weekend and everything included in putting on an event we simply just did not have time to get the car on the dyno to see how everything corresponded together once it was buttoned up.
I was also able to run the car Sunday at the track. At the end of the day I decided to make a few passes in the Coupe. Sunday was the first time I had been down the track since I sold my Evo almost a year and a half ago.
I made a 3 passes at the end of the day. Best was 14.95 @ 96mph. Stock tires, nothing removed from inside (even had some crap in the trunk), 100% FULL tank of gas (like maybe a half gallon missing out of it). Other passes were both 15.0 @ 96mph as well.
The drive by wire SUCKS to say the least. No arguing it. Between shifts the car would just lay over like it had a big laggy turbo on it, then power would come back on and it would go. Very irritating.
The car left "good", minimal wheel spin, no hop, consistent 2.1 60 foot times on all 3 passes.
On to TODAY.... we had the chance to get the Coupe back on the dyno first thing this morning.
We added:
Buschur Racing Intake
Buschur Racing Race FMIC
Buschur Racing 3" S.S. Catback Exhaust
Buschur Racing Inline Manual Boost Controller
Buschur Racing Complete Intercooler Piping Kit
Our mini battery kit is also in the car but that does not have anything to do with making power.
Here is the dyno sheet with bone stock compared to now.
With the peak gains showing a gain in HP of 29 and a gain in torque of 28ft lbs. we were also able to see once we printed the graphs by 100rpm number increments that there were increases in the chart of as much as 35whp and 33ft. trq while having a average increase of 27ft trq and 25whp throughout the entire RPM range.
Here is a comparison of stock vs stock w/ BR MBC and now with all of the parts.
With the peak gains showing a gain in HP of 22 and a loss in torque of 3ft lbs. when we printed the graphs by 100rpm number increments as we did with the stock to now comparison we were able to see the real increases in the chart with alot WHP gains as much as 28whp and a gain in torque of 27ft. lbs while having a average increase of 14whp and 15ft trq throughout the entire RPM range.
If you're interested in seeing the graphs printed out by numbers just say and I will be glad to post those as well.
Something else interesting that we found is that under 3500rpm the stock ECU wants to reduce the torque substantially with the addition of the new parts.
We also were limited with the boost to be right at 17psi. It goes INSTANTLY to limp mode EVERY time and throws 2 check engine lights. One for overboost and the other for one of the boost control sensors reading too high. Its funny becuase Sunday I couldnt get it to go over 15.5psi.
The car needs tuned. Bottom line. Once we are able to get into the ECU this thing should REALLY wake up with the new parts. The other day when I was setting the boost on the street I hit a max of 20psi on the gauge and the thing just wanted to get down! As soon as it hit that though the car went to limp mode.
For those who havent seen what we've been up to or what our parts look like here is the exhaust:

Front shot all put together:
I can NOT wait to get into the ECU of this car! Fix the DBW issues and get the car to wake up.
The Coupe is showing alot of promise! We're excited to move forward with the car.
Thanks for reading!
