    We tuned my car on the dyno yesterday, 5 hours of back to back runs in 91 degree room temp. Intake temps were in the 160's. power was obviously down because of this. We got it tuned, but how is my car going to react when my intake temps are closer to ambient?


    Thanks,
    Eric

    Why would you run it non stop like that? That makes no sense to me!

    Are you actually going to see that kind of non stop use like that?
    i think you should tune it with some cool down time in between!

    I did 4 x200 liter drums of methanol in 3 days straight on engine dyno,
    Water temp around the 80 deg c

    Temp never made much of a problem

    Depends on where they tuned your A/F at.. If it was somewhere around 11-1, you shouldn't have to touch anything..

    If it was tuned in the 12's, I'd take out a degree of timing across the board..

    He got it dialed in around 11.5. Shouldn't the map compensate for cooler temps? Shouldn't I have more power once it's cooled off?

    How do you run it like that and only see 160º ?

    What are you using for an intercooler and how much boost are we talking ?

    160 aint shit .
