'05 Subaru STI - RomRaider tune

2011-11-30T11:45:00.005-06:00

We received a 2005 Subaru STi for a stage2 tune via Cobb AP.

When the client got to the shop we found out that the version was the old 1 on the AP. Well that posed a dilemma since we never had tuned a car with that version before. So apart from that set back we tested the car to see how it ran and what kind of power it came with. This was a freshly rebuilt engine, but for some unknown reason to us that person that put the engine together made a bad install job on the Cusco catch can that was present in the car. After the first run on the dyno there was a excessive amount of oil being burned and expelled via the exhaust. This seemed that the tuning this car was not going to happen until this issue gets resolved.

Lucky for the client and us the mechanic/installer at our other shop (Rommel) showed up to save the day and he ended up taking out this catch can and few consecutive runs on the dyno all the left over oil was gone from the system. He found some other issues that were not addressed at the time the un-named person that installed the rebuilt overlooked.

I took out the Cobb AP1 and uploaded a RomRaider bin to start the tune and we managed to put a smile on the face of the client as we found a little more power on the set up. He will be upgrading on our recommendation to better the output of the engine. Here is the dyno chart and list of mods:
CP Pistons (8.2:1CR), Crower springs, Grimspeed pulley, APS CAI, GFB BOV, HFC (3"), DP/midpipe, Agency Power TBE, Stock turbo, TMIC.
19psi tapering to 16psi.
Ambient conditions:
75.2 F / 80% Humidity / 29.99 barometer

Client testimonial:
JDM Teg tuned thanks to Corr!

I have had several cars, built plenty of motors, but i don't tune. I have always had my motors tuned by a close friend where im from. Once I moved I found it hard to find someone who would tune my motors how i wanted them. (Obviously pretty picky motors take time and money). Its taken me a year but i finally found Corr Performance. A small shop a couple of cool as guys that were down to get every possible aspect of the map down right. For a couple of people i had met for the first time they definitely treated me like i was their boy from way back.

Anything I build down here NO ONE else is touching to tune! when i decide to build an NA full race motor yall are gonna have some fun! In the meantime yall need to take the purple car for a ride, the Fruits of your labor!

B18c1 Turbo 450whp / meth

B18c1 stroked to 1.9L
GT3576r, Hondata S300
BC cams, RC1000cc on AEM meth kit 50/50.

Corr Performance Tuning was in the shop instead of the movies this past weekend. When the majority of people were in the theaters checking out Fast5, we as the great masochist that we are were at the shop from 7pm till 1am looking to see what kind of results we could get from this AEM meth injection kit. We were left very pleased with the results of the meth, with only 10psi we managed to extract a bit more HP than before with out the use of the meth on the same boost level.

Now with Chevron 93oct & meth (50/50) we were able to reach a figure of 450whp with 25psi, something that would have never been safe to constantly do on just pump gas alone. As a conclusion the car feels way more fierce then before at the same boost level with C16. So now he can save the $$ on C16 and use the meth (50/50) mix. To compare at the same boost level he was only short 10-12 whp on C16, something that he will gladly sacrifice since its more cost effective.

Thanks Hal for taking the time to make this harness. Looking forward to tuning this car with this new Haltech PnP harness. if any one is wanting to get one of these for their 350Z contact us since this is a special order harness.

'05 Subaru Baja A/T tune

2010-10-18T16:04:00.002-05:00

Had to go into the ECU and reflash it with Romraider due to the TGV delete CEL coming on because of this mod. Once that was taken care of the fine tuning was done using UTEC by Jay.

Off wastegate and 18psi tuning was administered.

EG Bseries turbo tuning

2010-10-18T15:11:00.003-05:00

We dont tend to tune turbo cars on cromepro, but made a exception with our friend Red since he was only wanting low boost tune.
Had to change the ebay spring he had in the wastegate to a Tial small blue 8psi spring. With the Inlinepro manifold the boost crept to 10psi and we left it at that and adjusted the maps and came to a level of 211whp at that boost level on a stock Bseries engine.

'06 350z SC 347whp/318wtq

2010-09-24T13:33:00.008-05:00

2006 350z, A/T, ATI Procharger kit @ 9psi, TurboXS UTEC, Kinetix intake manifold, 600cc injectors, 19"wheels.

This car visited the dyno facility 3x, the last 2x had the same issue and we could not pin point it. We recommended the vehicle to be sent to the local Nissan dealership tech we are glad we know. The master tech there (Darry) found the issue and it was a bad ECU and it did not send the signal to one of the coils in the driver's side bank.
So basically on the second time we were tuning we had to stop cause we knew something was wrong and the power was poor.

Now we tuned it with everything running the way it is supposed to be from the OEM side and we managed to get some good results.
Here is the video of the runs. This first one was when it was still running a bit rich up top.

Kenner shop, Haltech tuning

2010-09-11T21:01:00.006-05:00

Had the pleasure of tuning a Vortech kit, installed by the client of the 350z.
2003 350z, 600cc injectors, Haltech, exhaust and 20" wheels. Z34 was tuned to 9.5psi, client did a good job with the daily driving aspect of the map. Just had to dial it in just right and make some adjustments to the timing and transient map. Special thanks goes to Michael for trusting us with his HellaFlush 350z. Lastly shout out to Jonathan who helped me verify the setting we made on the dyno as he drove the 350z on the mean streets of Kenner.

'10 Genesis 3.8

2010-05-29T17:29:00.002-05:00

Got a chance to test the new 3.8L Genesis on the rollers today. All that was done to the car was fitted with some new tires and a intake system. The rest was stock.

Ambient conditions in the shop were pretty harsh:
95.7F, 55% humidity with 29.97 Baro

All pulls were done in 4th gear except the second one which was requested to be done in 5th gear to see the difference.

Video will be up soon on youtube.

Polaris RZR

2010-05-18T16:01:00.003-05:00

Had a chance to tune this ATV the other day. All it had was a snorkel system and a furl controller.
The RZR came in sputtering and misfiring at idle and low rpms. Adjusted the fueling on it and was able to get some clean revs and made some decent power on the rollers.
Ended up with 39whp and I was told that at the crank these ATV from the factory sport 42hp.
So not a bad little gain.
Here are some pictures from the day and I also have some video that will be uploading to my youtube page.

1979 Porsche 933 Turbo

2010-05-06T10:48:00.005-05:00

Had a chance to test this fine specimen last night at the Kenner facility.
1979 Porsche Turbo 3.3L flat 6, client wanted to see what were his AFRs and if they coincided wit the PLX wideband he had installed in the cockpit.
Mixture was a little on rich side, but at the end it made some safe power. There is a little more room according to the reading that we can find more power just based on fuel mixture settings.
Over all a nice night and the client was pleased with all that he saw.

2008 STI

2010-05-04T17:38:00.007-05:00

On this saturday we got a chance to meet a very nice and knowledgeable tuner from the east coast.
The tuner's name is Jorge and he comes from P&L in Chicago. Had a client from Metairie come in wanting to have this tuner sort his car out on that day so we provided the dyno facility.
The car was doing well, but ran into some bugs that prevented Jorge from completing the tune at the desired PSI that was intended to be tuned at.
I would like to thank Jorge for all his nice tips and pointers and hope to see him in the near future.

2004 STI Cobb AP tune

2010-05-04T17:27:00.005-05:00

Got a 2004 STI on the rollers to check a a cob stage 2 map that a friend of the client sent him.
Made a few pulls, the car was a little rich at the high rpms on the stage2 map. So I adjusted a bit. Unfortunately the stock clutch for some reason started to slip on 4th gear at around 4k rpms so we really could not see what the car would do with a little more boost and a bit of timing. In any case made some decent gains from what he came in and here are the pics from the tune that day.
Came in making 253awhp, left making 268awhp/280wtq @ 17psi tapering to 15psi

GorillaRE S2000 Turbo

2010-04-23T11:06:00.007-05:00

Finally got around to tuning this vehicle since it was in the shop for a while getting some custom items installed.

Made some nice power to start off the tuning process. Left it at the WG spring pressure for now so the client can get a little used to the new found power.

System included a PF Fab Manifold & ice piping, custom GorillaRE DP, MP custom air induction box with under tray scoop and exhaust. Gt3076 with Tial exhaust housing, ID 1000cc and Hondata Kpro.

Tuning was done in collaboration with GorillaRE.

Evolution 8 on PS1000

2010-04-10T19:56:00.003-05:00

Well messed most of the day trying to tune a Evolution 8 with a nice assortments of aftermarket parts. The main culprit of most of the day tuning was installing the Haltech PS1000 and getting the car to idle good with the PTE 1000cc injectors.

Towards the end of the day we finally got the car running well and were able to steady state tune the car and also do some pulls on the street up to 18psi.

We will continue with this vehicle later this upcoming week so stay tuned.

InlinePro built S2000 turbo

2009-11-03T10:57:00.004-06:00

After previous hours of deliberation with this magnificent s2000 from
Alexandria, we finally were able to have this car return for true
testing/tuning. This car was previously tested but without any tuning and
simply trying to figure out its boost control to no avail. This time we
called upon one of our not only good friends, but also a fantastic colleague
in the tuning business. He traveled all the way from Houston to help us out
with this well put together s2000. Sorting out the boost was a delicate
task due to the fact that the customer had put in a 20# spring and we were
worried about boost creep, we decided to keep it at 14# spring and tune from
there.

During this session our customer borrows our truck to go into town as his
vehicle was on the dyno. No problem, we give him the truck and he's on his
way. We then receive a phone call from the customer getting locked out of
our truck. Luckily we had tools to get into the truck. With the help of
Damian's tools and Dibble's expertise in breaking into cars, we managed to
get our truck back. it was the truck or we were keepin the s2000 for
ransom. ;)

Back to the dyno
It took us a few hours to figure out that the boost controller was not
regulating it properly so we decided to just TUNE the car's ignition and
timing maps and at least have the customer walk out with a grin on his
face. After several hours of tuning and taking breaks, not only for the car
but for us to eat and drink, we were able to draw out some manageable
numbers for our customer. Trying to convince him to come down that same night to NOLA for
more tuning on his car he decided to return at a later date. Not often you
have three AEM/EFI101 tuners in one setting! Oh well, he was happy with his
car, I'm glad that Tim G. came down to help us out, and we were all
exhausted after a long day of tuning. Thanks again to Sig40 and Dibble for
bringing refreshments, entertainment, and helping out with the locked
truck. The Crawfish pies and Andouille Balls were off the Chain! Mad props
again to TimG for helping with the tune!

So the weather FINALLY cools down out here in South LA. It was a brilliant day for not only being outside but dynoing. The group that set the dyno day season were the VW/Audis. The day started to look doomed as Berto's truck was initially thought to be stolen but then found out that it was impounded.

Having to figure out how to get Papi's grill to the shop to cook up the famous fajitas, we had to disassemble it and fit it in a Honda civic!! The lengths we go to get a taste of some of Papi's fajitas. Late to the event as the VW crowd was already waiting on us. Thanks to Sig40 for giving us updates on the personnel there and where to have them parked.

Finally set up, we get the cars rolling and more of the VW contingency show up. Overall, it was great to see new faces, different cars that cant be dyno tested ANYWHERE else in the STATE, and also learn more about the European cars. Thanks to all the folks that showed up to the event and we hope that Corr Performance Tuning provided y'all with great entertainment this past weekend! Special thanks to Sig40, Dibble, Luke, and Stephan for refreshments. :)

Here are some photos for now of the event....

'09 Audi A4 Stock + GIAC

2009-07-23T13:12:00.003-05:00

Alright guys, this is my first review on this Audi utilizing the GIAC product.

These are some of the clients remarks on his experience on the reflash and our service:

I have decided to give a full review on GIAC since I could not find any consumer review on the B8 anywhere. In this review I’m driving a tiptronic S-Line and I was using 93-gas, but I’m not sure if the GIAC file was a 91 or 93 octane. I don’t know if it matters or not, but anyways I hope this review will help out anybody looking for a consumer report on the GIAC.

First, I want to give thanks to Corr Performance Tuning at Baton Rouge for the GIAC flash and Dyno numbers. Those guys are some cool ass dudes, if anybody is around Louisiana I highly recommend those guys. What they use to Dyno the car is the digital AWD Dyno Dynamics. The ambient temps on that day were 94F, 30.03 Baro and Humidity was 56%. So it was pretty damn hot that day of the test. I’m definitely going to upgrade the FMIC to AWE version whenever I have play money.

Further info on the test:
Standard conversion from Dyno Dynamics Shootout mode to DynoJet is ~12-13%.

USDM cars. Series II cars.
EDM and AUDM should be the same.
We are arranging testing to confirm.

These are all repeatable runs.
BP 93 fuel

Cobb and Haltech runs were at the approx the same boost level.
Cobb was a little bit higher actually.

Early July for a realistic release date.
Taking pre-orders now. 50% down.

Would suggest running it with the Haltech dual channel wideband for closed loop.
