View Full Version : 400 whp @ 22 PSI..More to come soon.
MARKGSTI 11-17-2005, 06:17 PM Just to give a update on the car..
Last week we hit 358whp @ 19psi on CA gas on the Gruppe-S dyno.
This week the wick was turned up slighty...the car went to alittle over 400whp @ 22 PSI runnin 100 octane...on just some dataloging dyno pulls that Mike was doin.
Very Very low timing advance with a 11.2 to 1 AFR IIRC.
We are having to make some fueling changes as the PE 850's are pretty much tapped out :(
I'll keep you guys posted...this thing is starting to suprise me :banana: in a good way.

DoctorNick 11-17-2005, 06:29 PM So are you gonna go with bigger 1000cc MSD injectors?
Or are you thinking of an aux fuel system like a second set of injectors?
Also, what kinda pump and FPR are you useing? Stock fuel cell? twin pumps? That is if you don't mind already spilling some details. PM me if you want it off the thread. Just interested in your setup.
So at what psi does your turbo wakeup at? 30? :lol:

89% duty cycle @ 22 psi
We could push 23-24 PSI...but not safely.
We are making the mods needed to run a stronger 100 octane map and a C16 map.

Of course. I think you're the bastion of the Subaru community right now since you've done good passes in the past that actually matched up w/ your dyno #'s.
I mean, because with all these 500whp wrxs trapping <120 and doing 13's, you are the last hope before we are all on our way to destruction...

happasaiyan 11-18-2005, 12:03 AM i dont really see why you need bigger injectors yet?
youre going to drag race on c16 anyways, right? you would be surprised how much farther injectors can go when you can lean things out significantly.
...plus, why not just get an adjustable FPR?
Homemade WRX 11-18-2005, 12:11 AM I don't see how you could need bigger injectors with only that much air....turn up the fuel pressure...
Tuning Factory Inc. 11-18-2005, 12:40 AM At 420 WHP on 93 octane I maxed out 800CC injectors easily. I was able to get a bit more with running 14.4 volts to the fuel pump through a relay but I'd say you won't be able to get much more than 440 WHP out of 850's without reaching 100% duty cycle. Then againyou probably won't get much higher than that on 93 octane anyway so I guess it is irrelevant. This was with stock regulator. Still, I wish someone made a bolt on adjustable unit to give us a bit more room without having to switch out injectors.

I never said we were gettin rid of them...All i said is that @ 22 psi/400whp they were maxxed...there are ways of gettin injectors to flow more without replacing them.

thechoochman28 11-18-2005, 05:32 AM Markgsti,
What doesn't make sense to me is Victor's car in Puerto Rico makes 720whp on 850's and your saying that your 850cc injectors are maxed out with only 400whp as Quirt so studeously pointed out....does no one else see the point? Even w/o Nitrous Gadiel is pushing the 850cc injectors 190whp more than your setup. So why are your injectors maxed out at the 400whp level, is what i guess i'm trying to say?
SSFWRX 11-18-2005, 05:40 AM the truth behind his 400whp numbers and maxed IDCs is that the Gruppe-S dyno is in my opinon the lowest reading dyno in the country. Thusly it says 400whp and maxed IDCs....he could drive that car to the DynoJet at ATP and pull 450-460whp no doubt.
Get over the 500hp cars, just cause the dyno says 500whp doesnt mean jack squat....yeah its a fast car, but others have run very very fast on JDM 2.0s on FP Greens and SZ49's. Read(Mikaust & Dug-E-Fresh) who both make 450whp and run 11.3. Think about that.
thechoochman28 11-18-2005, 05:46 AM i never trust dyno numbers...i've seen a 339whp xwing RS beat a 500whp skyline and supra in the ultimate street car challenge drag races. It's more about power delivery than peak numbers. Everyone says track times don't lie....and this is true what's fast is fast for certain tracks... we shall see when Mark runs his car at cali speedway if the car is done by then. We'll just have to wait and see.

Does sound like they shouldn't have maxed out.(Las Vegas Mustang dyno) I make 420whp on 100 octane with Perrin 800's . I made 530whp (c-16) and was limited on the tune. We had to stop at 28psi since IDC was 93+ in areas. But every car is different. I also use a GT35R with a .82 housing. The turbo is leaking oil now, so if it needs to be replaced, I will go back to the 1.06 housing which the car was designed for. Has anyone heard of a GT35R leaking through the seals? I havent.
Looks like you are on your way to more power. Congrats. :)
PS Let me know how your fuel problem is solved. I will be needing to do the same when the turbo leak issue is sorted out.

Read post #23.
@ 400whp/22PSI...with the current fuel volume and pressure the injectors were @ 89% duty cycle....close to being maxxed out.
Increase volume and pressure and the injectors can preform better...This is the exact thing Big Valley did with his fuel system and what we are in the process of doing. ;)
Once we are done with this car and everthing comes together I'll gladly spill the beans....no secret turbos or "lighty cleaned up" CNC race heads here ;)
sleepy98 11-18-2005, 11:31 AM Seems to be two theories going on here
1 - too much fuel being used, which would be because of the tune
2 - not enough fuel because of pressure, volume, octane or because of the tuning
Not sure of either for this situation, but I'v read ton here that people have made more power with less. Have you considered having someone else tune the car just to confirm the diagnosis?
Anyway, you seem happy with your car and that's the most important thing:)

Hello Patrick,
Gadiel has made 720whp with the 850's and Bill has made 605whp with the 720's. If you plan of running more than 550whp, I would go with the 850's to be on the safe side :)

The tuners skill is what makes the difference,,, period.
You can have the best motor in the world die on the dyno from a poor tuner, or you can have a stock motor make 530whp that is tuned by great tunner.
Tuning is not something that a person can learn overnight.
If you have a good tuner, stick with him. And be careful having someone else tune your car for a diagnosis, this could lead to a damaged motor.

Which dyno was it (age old question) as it is always, as you know, apples to oranges when comparing dynos. Gruppe-s's dyno reads a stock STI around 215 - 220 whp which on average is around 15% less than a dynojet. My guess is Mark's car would put down around 460 whp at 21psi, not too bad. I can only imagine that 700+ whp is done at what 30 psi? I have only heard great things about Mike at Gruppe-S from several friends.
MARKGSTI 11-18-2005, 01:51 PM The point of this thread was to let people know the limits of the factory fuel system.
On my car it seems to be about 460whp on a dynojet...pushing the 850 injectors with a upgraded intank pump to a 89% IDC.
We could of pushed it to say close to 500whp on a dynojet running about 23-24psi with a little more timing...but why risk it??...My car seems to be cursed and we are not taking any chances.
All along we have planed to make the needed upgrades to the fuel system...Thats why today less then 24 hours after finding the limits...a twin pump and adjustable regulator are going in...and a set of rails is sitting there just in case.
I have to give a BIG hand to Mike and the team @ Gruppe-S for taking this thing on..as this is a project that most any shop will not want.
BLUE STINGER 11-18-2005, 02:12 PM Yup, I agree with Mark and others on this one. Mike is one of the best tuners here in Cali. He know his stuff, and I wouldn't go to anyone else. So far he has taken good care of me, my car, and setup.:)
wrex03 11-18-2005, 02:56 PM What are the egt's like? And what do you consider low timing?

MARKGSTI 11-18-2005, 03:30 PM What are the egt's like? And what do you consider low timing?
You would have to ask the tuner...@ this point they were just dataloging runs...not that much for pure power.
If you know anything about Mikes tuning style...then you know he is by far the most cautious tuner out there.
SilverSurfer04STi 11-18-2005, 03:37 PM To all that question the tuner...
In threads I've read, it is VERY uncommon for cars to put down over 350whp on that dyno. Think about it, it's a low reading dyno.
If his car is making over 400whp on that dyno that is saying alot. Also, it sounds as though they are VERY early in the tuning process. With an exotic setup like this, you don't just slap on your GT35R base map, do some tuning for an hour and presto, we just made 550 whp everybody.
Pavlo 11-18-2005, 03:49 PM At 420 WHP on 93 octane I maxed out 800CC injectors easily.

Gruppe-S 11-18-2005, 04:58 PM Hi guys,
740cc injectors will run (with increased fuel pressure and running C16 - keeping in mind different AFR with leaded race gas) about 475whp on our dyno. This is at 100%++ IDC, and this car will run high 10's. We do not consider this to be safe for the average customer. That being said we can probably push Mark's car to 450whp on 850cc injectors without increasing fuel pressure. This might be somethign we would do on a shop car, but is a definite no no on a customer's car. Running 100% IDC's is not good for a variety of reasons that I'm sure most of you can understand.
Therefore we are choosing to bump fuel pressure. Keep in mind that any stock chassis car making over 500whp on our dyno with a 2.5 / GT35R will run 10's with a good launch / good driving. And honestly dyno numbers are just numbers and are only relative to the dyno. Oh BTW, the fuel mass required for 100 octane and C16 is totally different. Fuel flow versus relative horsepower should only be compared with same octane levels. :)
Cheers,
Gary

Seriously, I think most people don't realize how long it takes to ACTUALLY tune a completely custom map; most people run off the shelf setups that only need to be tweaked from the base map.

it's humorous to hear you infer that there's something about skill in your tunes that's somehow missing in mark's tune. At the very minimum you should realize that there are tremendous differences from dyno to dyno and that additional will work to bring additional fuel pressure for the injectors.

Quirt Crawford
www.crawfordperformance.com
Uh, Gadiel turned up his fuel pressure and added a second fuel pump, which I am certain Mark is doing - so Mark will also be using the PE850s, just like Gladiel does...
If you have a fixed flow, ie 850 cc injector, you can increase flow by turning up the fuel pressure - causing it to flow more than 850cc, or by installing larger injectors....Gadiel and I'm certain Mark will also turn up the fuel pressure.
Mark, I'm sorry I missed this thread - I think you tried to call me last week but I was in work hell and couldn't take the call.
Really Good Job, thumbs up for both Mark and Mike :D

How does it feel and where's your powerband. By looking at mark's power band and curve you can tell a lot more than from his peak horsepower....now let me guess, someones rebuttle will be gruppe-s's dyno doesn't plot the curve right.

InfamousDX 11-20-2005, 03:26 PM Uh, Gladiel turned up his fuel pressure and added a second fuel pump, which I am certain Mark is doing - so Mark will also be using the PE850s, just like Gladiel does...
If you have a fixed flow, ie 850 cc injector, you can increase flow by turning up the fuel pressure - causing it to flow more than 850cc, or by installing larger injectors....Gladiel and I'm certain Mark will also turn up the fuel pressure.
Mark, I'm sorry I missed this thread - I think you tried to call me last week but I was in work hell and couldn't take the call.
Really Good Job, thumbs up for both Mark and Mike :D

It's funny how alot of people that had their cars tuned by Bill switched to a different tuner and realized how much more SAFETY, drivability, and power there was to gain.
You know what i have had a norcal tune before it ran stupidly rich and would hesitate and felt like junk. Granted it made peak power 260whp but had no torque what so ever. I thought it was good until i got road tuned by i-speed...with less boost, he had more power on the first run the car became smooth and torquey...that was 2 and half years ago...and you know what? How much safer do u want it...the car has 50k on it. The engine is still fine and no det.
I've been in other peoples cars that are tuned by other tuners and they're tune sucks they're completely ignorant to the detonation and they drive right through it...weeks later they blow their engine and wonder why. (worst case scenarios)
It's funny that down here everything is opposite of norcal...people switch from other tuners to i-speed. It makes me think a company up there is bashing and spreading lies. Does anyone up their actually have hard evidance against i-speed?
Note i did not mention who i got tuned by up there because i'm trying not to be a basher.

but on here people will say what dyno and what tuner....then they'll say *you're* a liar and want proof...you'll show them proof then they'll be pissed off cause they don't understand the dyno chart or say your video at the track is fake.
i agree doc! hope he stops cause i'm done.
sr55stiguy 11-20-2005, 05:01 PM oh yea and just a question (may not be the right forum to ask on but...) and i do not want a bunch of arguements but who is probably the best tuner around.
now i am not asking who has the best dyno i am asking who is the best TUNER for sti setups
and i am not going to say anything dumb about anyone but you can have the best car, with the best engine and the best tune but you have to know how to drive that car to where u want it
everyone is talking about big horsepower and low track times but like i just said and i have said before its in the tune (of course) and the driver
anyway thanks to all who answer
sr55stiguy 11-20-2005, 05:10 PM ok so before people ask i am going to say it was a dyno jet this time after i got it retuned and before it was dynoed with the deltadash through ECUtek software with the old tune and i dont have videos and all that but i do have dyno sheets and whoever asks for proof will just have to wait until i get a digital camera or something and post them on here then they can call them fake and all that and ill just laugh cause i really dont care im happy and thats all that matters in the long run anyway
and just to let everyone know I AM DEF NOT THE BEST DRIVER so my car might go better but who cares its my daily driver and its fast enough for now

I have nothing against Quirt, and in fact I owned one of the very first 2.4 Crawford Subaru engines. He is an outstanding engine builder - no complaints from me!
My problem is that he compared Gadiels modified Fuel delivery system, using 850 cc injectors with Marks mostly stock fuel delivery system, using 850cc injectors and made the point that Gadiel had no problems, and implied the problem was with Marks tuner.
Due to increased fuel pressure, Gadiel gets more than 850 cc of fuel out of his injectors, he turned up the pressure. Mark has not yet turned up the pressure, so he maxes out at 850 cc's....why wouldn't Quirt recognize that?
.
DoctorNick 11-20-2005, 05:23 PM i'd imagine its because he builds motors, not tune them. Good point though.
west005 11-20-2005, 05:42 PM Dam Mark,
Big Valley is making 720 wheel HP using 850cc injectors :eek:
You can read about it in this months Turbo magazine on page 21, its the Black STI on the cover!
Maybe you should fly Gadiel up to tune your car?
Quirt Crawford
www.crawfordperformance.com
You gotta have duel fuel pumps! You can run 2 walbros on the same power, together they pull the same power as a supra fuel pump. Big Valley STi is running Bosch pump 2ea. You can get a ss y from the beverage factory that works perfect, they both go in the tank together with No problems!

true that. whoever can't see the point of the above statement or can't understand the proccess of fuel delivery should try to make sense of things rather than blaming their ignorance on other factors (ie. tuners, shops, drivers, weather, etc.) no matter what status they think they have (owners, tuners, specialists, gurus, etc)
my .02 cents.
BTW i have 100% confidence that gruppe-s and mike's tune will bring me in to the 10 second region.
all i need left are head/cams, headers, and c16 tune.
gruppe-s already povided:
gt35r kit
bullet proof block
already have:
850 injectors
FMIC
fuel pump

He does! He is feeling the squeeze from gruppe-s now that they are building motors. I have noticed him following Gruppe-s around lately, much like he did to Kingpin.
The way Crawford/ispeed made that type of power with those injectors is they maxed them out and didnt care as they were glory runs and would never be duplicated.

mnavarro 11-21-2005, 12:35 AM Actually this is unofficial but I'm going to create custom cranks for 2.8 motors... Since I don't tune I wonder if Crawford is going to accuse me of being bad person and tell people not to buy stuff from me because they do more things for the community.

I'm sorry mark your thread has become messy. I'd just make a new one when you get more results.
sleepy98 11-21-2005, 01:20 PM Standing back and reading and hearing all this stuff…well, I’ll toss in my 2 pennies:
I have nothing against anyone here. Personally I want to see markgsti, get his car together and make a pass.
I have bought parts from Gruppe-s, never got tuned there, because they were cheap and plentiful. They did screw up an order of mine but they fixed pretty fast. So, no real complaints from me there. Personally, I do not have too much confidence in their motor building. I mean selling strut bars is one thing, but building motors? Who knows, maybe they will work.
Quirt at Crawford…that guy can be an ass, no doubt. But his results are pretty good (in magazines, the strip and the track). I don’t see any other motor building getting as much press and good results as they do. So the guy is proud of his work. Big DEAL! BTW:I came to this thought, just thinking of sports figures like T.O or SHAQ. A$$es but they produce results. Watcha gonna do eh?
As far as him responding to engine related threads or following posts…ummm, maybe he does so because that’s the subject he knows best.
Oh yeah….”go to another dyno and prove your power numbers!?” It’s good drama, but I am sure I am not the only one who gets get tired of seeing these jr.high call-outs. I am not saying they did or didn’t make that power, but I thought that the proof was in a time slip or the podium, not a graph.
There! My Monday is complete. You can all move along now:D
Mike
mnavarro 11-21-2005, 02:21 PM I tend to agree with you that calling out may seem childish, but when a Vendor posts irresponsibly, he deserves to be called out. Their dyno reads very high for one, and their results are questionable. Guys like PDX even stated so. So to continue to tout questionable numbers as proof of their tuning acumen is irresponsible. If Quirt was really cool, he would have congratulated him and say maybe he should do this or that given his domain expertise. But instead, he suggested he should fly up one of "his" tuners, for a mechanical issue unrelated to tuning. This is not about how T.O. acts like a selfish child, it's about how Quirt made several comments alluding to bad tuning. I think that Chris and Quirt might infact be the same person!
I think the real measure of Mark's car will be at the track which I expect on c16 will be in the 10s. How many of i-speeds cars have gone 10 seconds?
norris639 11-22-2005, 12:23 AM 1. Don't buy anything from a shop that uses old ****ted up sparkplugs, on your brand new motor build up.
2. If you make the mistake of having something installed there anyway, triple check and make sure your not pissing power steering fluid all of the place.
3. If you are pissing steering fluid all over the place, try not to crash going 65+ on the highway with no power steering.

scooby11 11-22-2005, 01:21 AM power steering fluid isnt too important for anything more than getting started. once you hit 10 mph, your car turns pretty much normal after that do to motion. correct me if im wrong, but i thought thats how ot goes, cause i didnt have PS on my old VW, and it was only bad upto 5mph and turning after was no prob.

Physics Junkie 12-19-2005, 03:02 PM Mark's car is fine, he's going with a hydra now, should be much easier to tune....
I was wondering when he'd switch...
MARKGSTI 12-19-2005, 05:07 PM I was wondering when he'd switch...
All is set to have the hydra installed tomorrow.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
BLUE STINGER 12-19-2005, 09:08 PM Best wishes with you and the hydra Mark!:) Hope everything works out.
mrubino83 12-19-2005, 11:04 PM I heard his motor had low compression in the #4 cylinder.
j/k

Hahaha, I know what he's talking about! It's funny how mark is always the last to know the Good news about his car but always the first to know the Bad news.
:p

Gilmore25 12-20-2005, 12:22 PM Damn isn't that some $hit... Hey Mark since they know all the details before you do...
Maybe they should be paying the Bill :)

:disco:
I agree.

So Mark Did you call your tuner to see what's up??? Guess alot of ppl know your car is running strong ??

thechoochman28 12-21-2005, 03:24 PM Is it done yet?
LookingForPower 12-21-2005, 07:05 PM Is it done yet?
I'm sorry, but Mark and his "Done" don't exactly go hand in hand... The correct question would be "Is the car running, and making the power it SHOULD be for it's current mods" and you must ask this question hourly, because within minutes Mark will have a whole pile of new mods on the way just as the car is being finished!!
mrubino83 12-21-2005, 08:38 PM I heard the car was sent to Vishnu for some final tweeking before it hits the street

n2xlr8n 01-24-2006, 09:23 PM Updates?
macsperformance 01-25-2006, 11:56 AM Just to give a update on the car..
Last week we hit 358whp @ 19psi on CA gas on the Gruppe-S dyno.
This week the wick was turned up slighty...the car went to alittle over 400whp @ 22 PSI runnin 100 octane...on just some dataloging dyno pulls that Mike was doin.
Very Very low timing advance with a 11.2 to 1 AFR IIRC.
We are having to make some fueling changes as the PE 850's are pretty much tapped out :(
I'll keep you guys posted...this thing is starting to suprise me :banana: in a good way.
Very nice numbers on 100 octane
Chris Macellaro :)
MARKGSTI 01-25-2006, 02:59 PM Sorry..I've been busy dealing with none cars problems for the last 1-2 months...My house got flooded recently so I've been busy with all that stuff. :(
I went out a bought a 06 Civic SI thaty dyno'd 161 whp over on the Gruppe-S dyno a few days ago :lol:
Well the cars switched over to a Hdyra now....along with all the goodies..I don't know if I mentioned that.
It had made 400+whp before and its more now...but no final #'s yet.
It did pickup quite a bit of TRQ aswell.
canosardines 01-26-2006, 04:12 AM Are we done yet? Jeez, any other company would have been done by now.
MARKGSTI 01-26-2006, 04:32 AM Are we done yet? Jeez, any other company would have been done by now.
If i ain't trippen and its my car,...then its alright ;)

Good things are worth the wait. He only started thie thread a week ago.

Build your own car, then you'll have something to sweat.
RipinRichKids 01-26-2006, 12:07 PM Mark what do you think youll run in the 1/4 on the 100 octane 400whp tune?? 400whp kinda seems low for a gt35r on a 100 octane. But its probly a low reading dyno for sure..
MARKGSTI 01-26-2006, 04:09 PM Mark what do you think youll run in the 1/4 on the 100 octane 400whp tune?? 400whp kinda seems low for a gt35r on a 100 octane. But its probly a low reading dyno for sure..
This was about 410whp @ 21-22psi last time out IIRC...This was still with a way rich AFR and low ign. timing and running factory style EM.
I'm pretty sure we can pull 425-440 whp on 100 octane with this car once its done...moreso now since it runs a open turbo with no MAF restriction @ the race track...running 23-25psi.
The tuner advises not to push the car too hard on 100 octane..as this setup works better with true race fuel...110+ octane on up.
That 100 octane should be good for 126-127 mph with the curent setup and the new features the car has like flat foot shifting and boost anti lag.
What is 126 mph good for??..I would say low low 11's with the right driver.
But only time will tell :)
LookingForPower 01-26-2006, 07:30 PM Oh come on Mark, I got 11.7's at 120... you should be able to hit 10.9's@126!!
burnin4 02-02-2006, 01:16 AM what does a stock sti put down on gruppe-s dyno?
mpj_becks 02-02-2006, 01:18 AM what does a stock sti put down on gruppe-s dyno?
215-225whp
deVic 02-02-2006, 02:22 AM awesome man congrats
blinguskahn 02-02-2006, 03:20 AM 215-225whp
Like this guy knows... :lol:

The baseline numbers seem to change by the mood of the day. They read anywhere between 205-245. Then add their SAE correction numbers on top of that. Might want to get a Mustang Dyno rep out there to check on the inconsistency of the dyno.

Where has it been said 205-245??? Also what SAE correction?
As for the inconsistency remark that made me laugh.
burnin4 02-02-2006, 09:13 AM fwiw, my gt35r dyno'd 440whp/400tq on 93 octane, dynojet, stock sti puts down 240whp.
MARKGSTI 02-02-2006, 11:39 AM I get tired of the dyno #'s game so many people play on here.
Thats were the P.R. do have my respect..they dyno their cars....and run them to back up their dyno figures.
We have Soooooo many high hp cars here in the country....only 4 or 5 have run decent low 11 second passes.
Again dynos are used for tuning...but most people assume...i have a 420whp car...so it must be faster then this guys 380whp car :lol: :rolleyes:
If this was the case then Topspeed, King pin, Harman would have many many cars in the 10's by now ;) (no slam on these tuners intended)

Get a life bro. My mood will change when you stop posting your garbage.
mnavarro 02-02-2006, 01:01 PM canosardines, you're throwing out red herrings... people are just idiots on these forums with the whole inter-dyno comparisons. You can't compare dynos period. Trust me if you think your pump gas dyno is making more hp than Mark's 100 octane setup, really think again. Gruppe-s dyno is more consistent than others because they don't SAE correct like some of the ridiculous numbers others have posted. Baselines really don't tell the difference in how hp is measured throughout the whole curve or when you add a lot more hp. The percentage difference between dynos is not necessarily a static thing. We have seen lot's of tuners come to this dyno, including PDX. None have made more power through tuning.

Not to mention all stock STI's do not always read exactly the same stock even on the same dyno, so variations between the hp numbers is normal. Mine dynoed around 210 on a totally different Mustang that has also had stock STI's dyno as high as 230. The high number was from someone who lives at high elevation and dynoed immediately after arriving at the dyno. Humidity, heat, etc can all affect the whp number. Mark is correct - a dyno is a tuning tool.

Your dyno is so inconsistent... :lol: :lol: :lol:
