Blue Evo 8

iTrader: (40)

Since my last AEM tune in 2006 I've added a few new mods to my EVO 8. Its taken a while to get everything together as far as getting the parts installed, doing the research, and finding time in my busy schedual to get the car retuned. I came in hoping to break the 500 AWHP mark with more boost etc. but that didnt happen unfortunately due to my puny 50 Trim turbo being maxxed out at 30 PSI.

So the mods I've added onto the car (which should have an effect on power, I've added other lightweight mods too) since the August 2006 tune are:

Devo Tuning 2 pc cromaly driveshaft
Baer Eradispeed 2 Pc rotors at all 4 corners
15.5 lb Enkei RPF1's in 17X8
drag race alignment, 0 toe all around, -2 camber front, -1.5 camber rear, factory caster setting
Buschur Racing 65mm t-body with upgraded Milspec shaft seals
Buschur Racing ported intake manifold
AWDmotorsports Intake manifold Phenolic Gasket
boost leak tests done
fresh plugs
fresh motor oil

Now onto the charts:

Above, this is my final map and tune, the blue line is my pump and meth numbers, and the red line is my standard pump gas tune....


Where did I make my gains??

Above, we overlayed my old pump/meth map with todays pump/meth map....and although I didnt make any additional top end and peak power... but I made huge gains in the low-end and mid range....as you can see by the area under the curve from the blue and red lines....so the new lightweight mods were helping out for sure...

At how many lbs of boost were you on the old chart compared to the new one?

27-28 PSI on the old chart, 30 PSI on the new one....
I was wondering why I couldnt break the 500 mark, but came to the conclusion that my 50 Trim is already maxxed out... I think if I had a built block and an HTA35R or something my gains would have been much greater for sure.... and would have been able to take more advantage of the lightweight rotating parts

all in all, the ricer in me is tempted to be disappointed cuz I didnt make anymore top end power, but for purposes of daily driving, highway etc... I'll gladly welcome gains in the low and midrange portions of my powerband

496-500... not a really big deal man... haha I'd just round it up and call it 500 and go enjoy it!

nice gains Bro. I might have to share a little secret with you later to get you to go out and get that HTA35R.

Yeah, I bet if I got the HTA35R then I'm gonna want a fully built head and block.... then screw the HTA35R at that point, I'd probably would then want a HTA86

Thats the thing, once I make that leap, I'll be jumping off the cliff into a bottomless modding pit

What are your corrected numbers?

On the first graph you show runs 30 and 28 on the same day on the second graph you show 30 and 26 and the correction factors vary and over 2 years apart

I dont know what my corrected numbers are...didn't get them....
and yes although the runs were two years apart at least the things that are consistent are I am making similar top end power...

you should consider the hybrid 50 trim im sure that well get you there

looking at the weather factor it would be interesting to know you true power gain with the SAE correction factor

I'll ask for the SAE numbers next time I'm there
