Did you see my Mustang Dyno in the first post?

SS_Firehawk · 02-16-2013, 12:05 PM

haha, no. I got mine yesterday morning, failed to check your OP, only looked on your last page.

Edit: I'm trying to figure out why my torque numbers are so low compared to my whp. We are nearly the same in tq, my car just breaths better, especially up top. Either your doing really good, or I'm not haha. It was the same on a dynojet as well. Anyways, I thinkI'm going to copy your gauges down the road. I like them.

You have some mods on your car, right? Mine is bone stock presently (for power adders). They took off the F.I. exhaust to get a true baseline. Explains why our TQ is similar but you are getting better WHP.

I love the gauges too. The car should come that way.

So that is a completely stock baseline. My torque numbers suck

Makes me questions more about what is going on under my hood lol. So how soon till your car is done?

Correct, completely stock baseline. I wouldn't worry about your numbers too much. Dynos are relative measurement tools, not absolute. Plus, I think your numbers make sense. As you can see, max TQ is during midrange. Your mods are mostly effective at high RPM, which is what gives you more HP than me. Needless to stay, when you have twin blowers in there, it's gonna rock hard.

No idea when it will be done, but looking forward to it. Don't want to rush GTM. Want it done right, not quickly.

Nice going! I am debating between the defi gauges and brockway dgauge. Defi looks better, but Dgauge is plug n play. Don't know if I will have room for boost controller, racelogic and dgauge displays. Haha

Nix, where is the boost controller mounted? Armrest cubby? Nice controller btw...top of the line.

Get the Defi gauges they have a OEM look to them and are simple plug and play I have the same ones .

I also have Racelogic .

Yep, that's right. You can mount it where the seat heater switches are, but I wanted a more stealth look.

Definitely get Defi. I have never been disappointed with them.

Nice setup so far! Can't wait to see your results on the 16gs. Did you do the gauge swap yourself or did GTM do that for you?

I'm in SD also so we need to meet up when you get the car back from GTM so that you can take me for a boosted test drive.

GTM did the gauge swap. It's quite involved since the whole dash has to come out. Leave that to the pros!

Definitely

Did you opt for internal wastegates?

I believe mine will have the new header design that uses external wastegates.

iWG are more than sufficient for 16g, are there any benefit for eWG ?

future370zzz · 03-24-2013, 06:31 PM

Where did you find the Defi imperial BF gauges in 52mm?

Was told by Rallysport that Defi discontinued the BF and moved to the Advanced BF gauges that are only offered in 60mm and metric only.

I guess I could go metric but what is 0.7 bar =? Psi would rather have in psi. Oil temp same issue. Does 60mm work in stock pods?
