1979 Porsche 933 Turbo











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





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














































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

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







































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.
