Capa Edit

[beauies]

Evening guys,

Just bought capa edit.

Havn't had a play with it yet but what power should a xr6t be making with a full exhaust system (yes including dump) using the 8 psi map and the 10 psi map without a custom tune with no other mods?

cheers beauies

If you didnt tell capa about the exhaust when you got the edit dont bother.

It will be best to get it custom tuned for better results there mate

with the 10psi map and the exhaust... yur looking at around 250-255rwkw... enjoy it mate.... I got 240 rwkw with the centre muffler removed, and 2nd cai

I think that anyone that changes any stock part and then runs the generic tunes is only asking for trouble. Custom tune is the ONLY way to go.

After all you wouldn't have used a piggyback without having it tuned first.

wasnt from ebay was it??

I spoke to tony from capa and was informed that the 10 psi map is made for a car with a better flowing exhaust... this is back in january that I spoke to him

Why would they need to know about exhaust? what would be the difference?

Except maybe boost cut.

No brand new capa unit.

This is what I have gone through.

I had my tunes done by Simon from Xtreme over in WA and after getting the edit back putting it in my car went out on a "private" road smoked the tyres like nothing, ran perfect. Took it out on the highway put my foot down in second gear got to 4000rpm and it started to ping, started losing power, overboosting.

The only difference mine had to the other cars he had done was a XR8 snorkel. So I blocked it off and hey presto, powers back no pinging, boost is normal and everything was as he said. You have to remember that by doing the exhaust you can get an extra 3 or 4psi more than the car is programmed to causing the car to run lean and start to ping.

This is from my own experience anyway.

Shouldnt you send it back so it can work with your 2nd cai?? Im sure Simon would want to fix that for ya.

To tell you what is happening,

I am using edit to start as a base program and then using a piggyback computer to fix the air/fuels, boost and timing. Just wanting to know what I should be expecting from the base 8 and 10 map.

Problem is there is a flat graph line after 4000 rpm on the dyno

Yes the engine has upgraded valve springs.

Can't think of a reason for this?
