Mustang Tuning Results and Civic Tuning Results!!!

Jeff brought us his 1995 Cobra Mustang for some repairs, parts installs, and a tune on SCT. We started by repairing a "ticking" noise that he had, which turned out to be nothing but a broken spark plug.

Jeff had us replace his Shorty Headers with BBK long tube headers, install a BBK X Pipe, Trick Flow Nitrous Kit, and Autometer gauges and pod.

After the installs, Jeff's Cobra went on to the dyno.

Here is the setup:

347 Stroker Engine
Trick Flow Heads
Nitrous Cam
Roller Rockers
Trick Flow Intake Manifold
BBK Throttle Body

BBK Long Tube Headers
BBK X Pipe
Flowmaster Exhaust

#42 Injectors
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
Aeromotive FPR
Trick Flow Nitrous Kit (Jetted for 150 shot)

MSD Billet Distributor
MSD Plug Wires
MSD Ignition and Coil

Tuned on SCT. As a side note, SCT for OBD1 Ford Cars does not offer datalogging, even though all of their OBD2 programmers do. On OBD1 Fords, we usually recommend Tweecer RT for tuning, but Jeff's ECU already had the chip for SCT.

Here is the chart from the motor tune:

This chart is without the Nitrous. This engine has a nitrous cam installed, which can have a slightly adverse effect on all-motor performance. After Jeff's bottle warmer is installed, we will tune for nitrous, and post those charts as well. Be on the lookout for update!







Mai brought us his Civic on Friday for a few repairs, some parts installs, and a tune on Crome Gold. We installed his AEM Fuel Rail, Resistors, DSM 450cc injectors, chipped his OBD1 P28, and installed a jumper harness. After deciding that he wanted to go over 8 psi, we also installed a GM 3Bar MAP Sensor.

His swap and tune was completed by another shop, so Mai asked us to look over the wiring, since the car had given him a few random issues. Mai told us that his car would randomly "skip", and was not making the power that he thought a turbo car should. Here is what we found:



Notice that not only are there 3 crimp connectors in the injector wiring, the clips also have wires soldered onto them right at the base of the clip. All 4 injectors were rigged up the same way. Can anyone say "fire hazard"?

We replaced the entire injector portion of the wiring harness, soldered and heat shrinked the inline resistors, installed the injectors and fuel rail, and got the car on the dyno. This car was also previously tuned on a VAFC, with the stock injectors, so in the sake of safety, we did not do a base pull.

Here is the setup:

Stock B18C1

eBay Cast Manifold
eBay 50 Trim Turbo
eBay 38mm Wastegate
eBay RS BOV
2 1/2" Down Pipe
FMIC

Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
DSM 450cc Injectors
GM 3Bar MAP Sensor

Tuned on Crome Gold




Here is the dyno chart for low boost. Boost levels were fluctuating between 6.8psi and 7.1psi.



Here is a chart for 10psi, but the clutch started slipping badly on the dyno. This run was ended early, and the dyno session was stopped until the clutch is replaced.
