VisionArtz 2010 Ralliart Sportback Tuned @ TTP-Engineering!
Well we had the pleasure of working with the new 2010 Lancer Sportback Hatch over the past few days. The new look is definitely interesting. Definitely one of those car's that grows on your over time.
Luke brought his new 900 mile old Sportback to us just wanting to see what he could do to get a bit more performance out of it. We spoke about replacing the inferior plastic blow off valve with a quality unit made from billet aluminum which could withstand the forces of higher boost than stock. Before long he settled on a Forge Motorsport Evo15 valve in polished aluminum. Made in the UK with a lifetime warranty, he could not go wrong. Along with the new valve and armed with our intake dyno testing data, we decided that the best course of action for an intake on the Ralliart would be a dry panel high flow intake air filter from HKS.
With the HKS panel filter installed along with the new valve, Luke wanted a way to determine how much boost the car was making. We recommended the Prosport 52mm Peak Hold Premium boost gauge from us. With settable boost warning and recall of peak boost with the press of a button, even if he was not looking at the gauge while in boost, he would be able to hit the peak/hold button and tell what boost level the car had been running at.
Once the gauge was installed, the intake filter and BOV were on, it was ready to hit the dyno. We strapped down the 2010 and ran a baseline WITH the HKS panel filter and metal blow off valve to the tune of 218whp @ 1.00CF on our Mustang Dyno AWD-500 Euro.
Once the baseline was laid down, we began optimizing the engine ECU airfuel ratio, ignition timing figures, boost mapping, MIVEC cam advance programming and getting the car to yield to our commands.
Once we optimized a few 4th gear pulls on the SST 6sp transmission, we added our TTP stage 1 Boost hose to the car and gained an additional 11whp on the first pull and added the stage 2 boost hose and power climbed again to 250whp.
As we have stated many times in the past, we do not want to tune a 6sp semi-automatic transmission to run well in one gear. It is very important to us not to get caught up in one gear dynosheet numbers when tuning a Ralliart AWD or Evo X MR because you simply to not drive these cars like that in real life and the car is always shifting for you. We strive to tune them while datalogging real world conditions so that maximum performance can be obtained at all times instead of just a single gear check.
In the end, the car performed well and gained about 54whp on the top end alone.

Is there really a problem with tuning our cars in one gear? This is the first I've ever heard anyone infer that tuning in one gear was cutting corners in regards to obtaining a high quality custom tune.

Yes we are a dealer for them and I have one at the shop for various data acquisition and recording, performance measurement and diagnostics however our fully fledged integrated ZEITRONIX data acquisition system is integrated into our dyno so that both the dyno and my laptop can record all critical data concurrently for review and so the proper action can be taken to optimize the very best tune for our customers.

I have a HKS panel filter and SSQV plumb back. This looks like a worth while part to get for decent numbers.
hose assembly with a boost pill pre-installed?

Is it available for purchase?
