Took forever but I finally got everything on my car and tuned. Im using the GReddy turbo kit with the front mount. Using everything from the kit for now but need to upgrade to a z32 maf and some bigger injectors soon. Have a custom 3" turbo back exhaust and a HKS bov, thats pretty much it for power mods. Can't really figure out how to upload a picture here but heres a link to my cardomain site for the dyno sheet...the picture theres kind of crappy too but its readable.

Pretty car. I couldn't read the dyno sheet, though. What numbers did you end up with? Torque curve looks pretty flat, which is good. I bet it's really fun to drive.

EDIT: I found the numbers on your page, sorry. Nice!

You'll make alot more power if you can keep the AFR's in the 12's. The redline represents what I would consider a perfect street tune.

I think your tune is spot on. A little more fuel helps keep the stock pistons cooler on extended boosting, which reduces chances of detonation hot spots.

You wont see more than 15whp from leaning out to 12:1.

It's all a compromise...

I don't think the egt's creep into the danger levels anywhere near 12:1 if the timing s retarded properly. A leaner mix improves everything, not just WHP. It effects turbo spool, lag between shifts and definitly gas mileage. 11:1 is rich in my book.

Although, I don't know what your'e doing for management. I assume the Emanage. Definitly allows for the ability to tweak for the best drivability. With 11:1 you can probably get away with running 89 octane gas though.

Im happy with the way things are now i need to upgrade some things and fix some things before i step up the power some more yet anyway. Im maxing out the stock maf for sure and the injectors are pretty close. Powers pretty good considering im also at 5000ft, and i think im gunna leave it a little rich since i get the occational boost creep from the GReddy 20g. It stays between 8 and 9 psi but my gauge is kind of crappy too so dont know for sure on the boost =/. Oh and Im using Megan coilovers, need to get a rear camber kit and some new wheels and tires since the 225s dont do much gripping anymore. Thanks for the comments.

282 on 9psi is definitely good... I'd leave it alone other than upgrading to a Z32 MAFS.
