Power figures ? - Jimbo - 27-01-2013
Right so I've ordered my boost gauge gonna do a basic stage one tune on it, few questions I'm running a Bosch and a t2
Am I right in thinking reduce off boost fuel on boost compensator and screwing max fuel in until slight smoke on boost then backing off slightly, then adjusting waste gate until I'm seeing roughly 18psi?
What power roughly would I achieve from this. And is the boost compensator just reducing off boost smoke
Thanks

id guess you would see about 130bhp
boost compensator adjustment if done properly will aid off boost smoke but will increase fuel on boost so more power. very handy little thing really
RE: Power figures ? - Jimbo - 27-01-2013
Yeah smoke doesn't bother me if I have to produce loads of smoke to make decent power just from playing with pump that's fine after all it's not costing anything and I'm not looking to make more than say 120 but 130 would be nice
RE: Power figures ? - ozonehostile - 27-01-2013
ideally you would be looking for as little smoke as possible when on boost, coal when its starting to spool then more coal when you lift off.
this is achievable with lots of trial and error

Ideal thanks for the heads up, just making sure I had a slight idea on what I was doing , and I think I was right I've done it before on a Lucas which seems to be harder anyway
RE: Power figures ? - ozonehostile - 27-01-2013
yeah, lucas pumps are shite in comparison to a bosch in terms of easy tunability

Wind the compensator out as far as it will go to allow the pin as much travel as possible. Then set the max fuel as you have already described and you may find you are already making 18psi but I would turn the turbo up a bit more to around 20-22psi, just dont hoone it off the line too much while there is no airflow on the tmic. As said this should see you around 130bhp

Remember if it's smoking a lot on boost it's really not good. High EGT's are very bad.
