Car Tuned

[chrisxr8]

had my car tuned bout 2 weeks ago now got 264 rwkw. not bad, but not really wot I was hoping for. the tuner said he didnt wont to go any further because he thought the valve springs were failing. he said it still felt like it had a far bit in it. just wondering if any one else has had the same prob in a late series 2 ( I thought they had the upgraded springs by then).

Nah springs still get soft on mk2's. But that seems low for your listed mods, mine did 265 on edit alone

that's what I thought a bit low. it was a half assed tune to get me home from brissie in the end. I wanted it done properly but had some intake pipe probs. but still didnt think I would have been running into sring probs at this power. if I have to change them it could be a blessing though ill do the exhaust and pump while im at it and chase even more power.

he said because of the rough idle after the power run that he suspected the springs but I have always had a rough idle and I was yet to plumb idle hose back to intake.

You should be getting more than that easy with those mods.

yeh I thought maybe the 300 mark would have made me happy.

only running 12 psi and he said the fuel ratio was spot on.

who tuned it?

For a manual, that's an ordinary result..

You got a dyno graph??

[JimmyXR6T04]

you re-gapped your plugs mate?? my car made around 260rwkw, and then with a very similar tune after further re-gapping of the plugs, it made 304rwkw.

[chrisxr8]

plugs gapped and yes it is a very average result.im not posting this because I think its a great result (was expecting 300+) its because of the fact that I was told my springs were failing. this seems odd to me at this power level for a sep 2005 mk2.

I think it may have been one of there first xr6ts but I know they are very good with ls1 tunes and with no probs I had on the day, would prob ly be very good turbo tuners as well
