I'll bet if you do both dyno days you will get 2 different results. Mercury are well know for rigging their dyno days so only their customers get the winning numbers.

I ended up deciding an EMB was a priority after going from a cat-back now switched to 3" dumps/mid, hi-flow cat, and Kurts twin 3" intakes... I hit boost cut every time I go beyond like, half throttle

Everything breathes a lot more freely now

Should have a street tune worked out by then

I swear there used to be a thread on here about what power you should be achieving with what mods, but I can't find it?

Anyway, I'll derail this thread a little more instead haha

What power might I make in a TT with:
- Kurts twin 3" intakes
- FMIC
- 3" dumps / 200cpi hiflow cat / 2.5" cat back
- stock ceramics on 19-20 PSI
- 440cc injectors
- basic street tune on Emanage Blue

?

Anywhere in the range of 240-260rwkw I'm thinking! Similar setup to Blake/Evan who dynoed with my intakes earlier this week!

Tune it up see how it goes on that level! High flowed turbo's really look to be the goods with these intakes! High flowed with these intakes jumped from 17psi to 25psi! Should be looking at low to mid 300's when this ones all sorted!

Ugh the gauges I want are on back order until 28/4 and will probably take 2 weeks to get here after that

Guess I am taking a 4 week holiday from spending money on my car not a bad thing. I just wound the boost back to a boring 15 PSI as without a wideband and oil temp I have no idea whats going on at the top end. Don't really want Toretto and the mad scientist to have to tear apart the block and replace the piston rings I fried

Another month of driving like a granny, yay

Yeah coilovers are next

I'm just going to suffer with the current wheels until the coilovers are on (and I have the cash) so I can get the height adjusted nicely for maximum gangsta hellaflu$h ill fitment ( ) on the new wheels from day 1

Looking to get some Grids in 19x10.5 -20 (probably 9.5 front) the lip on the rears is nice and big

I did look at the AEM gauges but I am being fussy with the appearance so I'm waiting for the Prosport (Bosch sensor)

Dropped in on the Turbosmart / Mercury dyno day today

As far as I know, nobody had their engines blown up

A few cars in the 300 HP range, 1 400+ and 1 500+

Not a really great turnout of big power, would have been pretty easy to get a top 3 spot for RWD

Lots of Skylines if you're into that

A Z20 (?) Soarer got off the dyno just when I got there, I heard it hit 350+ HP but thats secondhand info

Cool stuff though
