As most of you know I am very busy and get to spend little time working on my own personal RS. Today I was able to take a little time and tune the car. Recently I have had the urge to make power on the new HTA86. The current set up is about 6 months old. The car has been sitting and has seen very little dyno time since the RTA event last year. Today I actually was very impressed with the results of the car considering.
The current setup of the car is as follows:
BR 2.0L
BR double pumper
BR fuel rail
BR FF HTA86
BR FMIC rear entry street core
BR LICP kit
BR UICP kit
Reese Tuning Rev3 Intake Manifold
Reese Tuning Race cylinder head
BF272 cam
PTE1200cc injectors
MIL.SPEC 65mm throttle body
Exedy twin HD clutch
AEM EMS
Stock Exhaust/ Cutout
The car is pretty basic as far as the mods are concerned This build is no different than the customer cars we build here. The RS is a very simple car. Very straight forward and pretty basic. It really is, don't be deceived by the nice wheels and clean paint. I do take very well of the car and it is well kept.
I absolutely love how good this car has been to me. Never caused any issues other than when I ran it to the ground in Nevada at Spring Mountain. It has been very reliable and anxious to make power, always!
So on to the tuning portion. Since tomorrow we are having the big dyno day and expecting to see some of the big dog cars come out. I decided I would have to tune my car as well. Everyone makes 780 whp at 22 psi. Why can't I? Well I can't. Turns out my RS is not capable of that. But what she was capable of was 705awhp and 560 tq at 39psi.
Here is the graph from earlier today. Keep in mind this is with a 272 cam.
Peak boost was 39psi, AFR was 12.2. All tuning, work and installs were done here at Reese Tuning.
Enjoy,
James Reese
