Tuning my PT61 Turbo setup

[Mikel Trejo]

Well, as most of you know I just got my car back from the shop and I love it. I am noticing a difference in performance but not much cause I'm driving around in a non-tuned car. My signature shows the link to my car, in which it has a turbo, intercooler, walbro fuel pump installed. I'm thinking bout buying the #42 injectors for my 3.8 which would help ALOT especially when I go to tune it. I'm bout to purchase HP Tuners from a local dealer here and said he could sell it to me for $400 but better yet do it he would tune it on a dyno at Polk Performance which I had my turbo installed. PLUS, Don, the guy who installed my turbo, had already had a an idea where the timing and other things should be set at. So, I'll have a guy use the program for me and another to tell him where to set it at and it being on a dyno, watch out guys.....I'm goin to love when this day comes. Now, I'm just waiting to get paid so that I can pay the $850 to do this. I know everyones thinking thats alot but thats $400 for HP Tuners and $150 an hour for the dyno. I just hope it does take over 3 hours. So I guess the question is about how long am I looking at to actually tune the car? I know every car is different but I would like a rough est. Thanks

#1) they better use a wideband o2 sensor
why dont you just buy hp tuners yourself?

[Mikel Trejo]

I am buying HP tuners myself, I'm just adding that to my tuning price. Also they already added a wideband o2 sensor as well, I forgot to put that in there.

if you have a wideband on the car. buy your 42# injectors and start at 5 PSI
, when thats good work up from there

i started at 6.8 psi tuned, then 10.8 then 16 then back to 10.8 now i'm at 13.8psi only becuase i swaped the auto in and i haven't had time to tune again.... also my 57#injectors are close to maxing i'm trying to dial in the perfect AFR

use the sticky i made above...... then after you get it close on the street hit the dyno to fine tune it.

mikel, if you like the work they did you might not mention them removing your cat completely. Mentioning that could get them in trouble fwiw.

[Mikel Trejo]

haha, yea i thought about that and was wondering if i should change that. It's all good now but i just woke up (5pm) so they were all ready closed so I guess I'll have to wait till tomorow to buy those injectors.

This question is a bit off topic but I'm just curious... How much HP would you estimate to achieve from that Turbo / Tune? and How's your M5 going to hold up to it?

m5 will toast

I don't know...anyone can shoot me down but I'm guessing around 315-320hp. I'm probably way off but I got high hopes on this thing. And if it doesn't work out, i'll still be happy with it. I ordered #42 injectors, should be in a week or so. I know now that I got this i got to watch alot of things. I'm not buying anything else, I'm saving for HP tuners now.

with that turbo and good tune 320 to wheels would not be to hard
