3.0l Dyno plot sheets - Post yours here!

[JScullin]

List your mods and post pictures of your sheets so people can see what's possible with what!

Edit by DanG: The discussions should go to PMs or separate threads. This thread should be dyno plots only, to keep it readable. I'm pulling all the extra posts out.

See sig for setup. Basically the strongest engine possible in this car and still have a "Duratec". Short of N2O. Which is cheating. :tongue:

He got off the throttle at the fall-off due to pinging. New tune, more dyno runs in the future.

[timeless420]

This is what my 1999 CSVT currently has in it's engine bay

Fully balanced 2004 Escape Shortblock * Ross Racing Pistons @ 11.5:1 Compression * PnP Oval Port heads matched to split port manifolds * Clevite main and rod bearings * 24# Accel Injectors * MSDS headers/y-pipe (Coated by Fireball Coatings in Shelbourne, Ontario) * CTA Motorsports 2.5 inch Catback exhaust with Dynomax Ultraflow SS Muffler * Performance Designs Underdrive PS and ALT Pullies * Performance Fords Optimized LIM * Performance Fords UIM Alignment Bushings * Optimized 65mm Throttle Body * CTA Motorsports Intake Pipe * Pro-M Bullet 75mm MAF * K&N RU-1785 Filter * 3inch Dryer Hose Running From Front Bumper To Air Filter * Magnacore Competition 8.5mm Wires * Motocraft AGSF22FM plugs * SCT XCal Tuning by Steeda.ca

This graph was before I added the MAX EH UIM and when a few issues were beginning to crop up (dying IMRC and oil getting sucked through the PCV into the intake) so it should be a bit better now.

Let's just say winter tires & +6deg celcius weather today made for lots of wheel spin.

[warmonger]

I don't know, mine still has duratec written all over it........

:rofl:
This is at around 10psi

Maybe more STOCK than most! :tongue:

http://www.rumodded.com/warmonger/dyno%20runs/Dyno%20run,%200.68bar%20no%20corr%2026jan06.jpg

Yeah, I'm bummed because my homemade boost controller is **** and it would spike up towards 12psi for a sec and the keep dropping right back down to around 10psi maximum no matter how much I would adjust it up.
I wanted to dyno at 12 psi and contemplate 14psi but since I couldn't get a solid 12psi run I decided to stop right there.

I drove about 80 something miles, rolled right in for my dyno appointment, strapped down and did 5 runs in 20 minutes. It was bascially as standard day of about 70 degrees and almost normal atmosphere pressure with low humidity.

BTW, the intercooler water never got more than luke warm, but then I didn't try a run with iced up water either!

Oh yeah, for all you catalytic converter haters out there....that was still pushing through a catalytic converter, a 2.5" main cat. The wastegate is atmospheric vent though.

Last run of the day I pulled the boost controller off and made 250/220 HP/Tq to the wheels on about 3.3 to 3.4ish PSI.
The spring I have in my wastegate right now is a 3.83psi spring but then I have about a 0.5psi pressure drop through the intercooler. Well it may be closer to 3.4 psi because I bet the pressure drop is lower at lower pressure and rises as pressure increases.....drag you know.
Oh yeah, Air fuel was measured at the tailpipe after the catalyst. I measure my own A/F with my wideband and it is spot on until you get up top where it gets a bit rich. Good safety though, but hey, I'm also loosing anywhere from 15-20 horespower with the air fuel dipping down so rich at the top end.

We estimate this engine at that boost level to be around 375-380 by just cleaning up the air fuel while it is on the dyno.
So 14psi is definitely 400 at the wheels......

Hey guys this is what Loganmotorsports did for me! I can't say enough about how much better the car feels and performs. I definately recommend their expertise! I have a 3.0 hybrid with P&P'd heads with 3L valves, SVT cams, UIM AND LIM ALONG WITH TB. Weapon R headers to highflow cat and Yodude dual exhaust setup,GMK CAI, oil cooler, spec stage 3 (overkill I know), short throw, fidanza flywheel, and of course the Loganmotorsports tune with Xcal2. I hope this pic works.22777

Update on my 3L turbo.

What happened before: After my last post, I came back to Excessive with my XCal2 and a wing & a prayer. Chris at Excessive took what I had, tweaked it out to a nice little setup, then everything went to hell.

The dyno's spark inducer (how it reads engine RPMs) started flaking out at 4100RPMs. Like clockwork. At first, he thought it was his inductor, so I re-scheduled, and he got a new inductor lead.

Brought it back, SAME THING AGAIN. Decided to say the hell with it, pulled off my FRWs and threw on a broke-d*ck set of stock wires with over 70k on them, and the thing woke up- Literally. Picked up 15hp on the dyno and it read all the way to redline. Incredible, but true. Chalk me up as a proponent of stock Ford wires, and no longer the person on the soapbox for the FRWs. Sorry, folks- Looks like they're pretty much crap.

On the the plots!

You've made it this far, so here we go. This was at 10.5psi, (50% of boost controller maximum), and once again, the cams fall on their face short of 6k RPMs. Not before they impress, however:

http://dglicoes.home.comcast.net/Run4Sized.jpg

342.84hp/346.78tq.

Turned up the boost. Now at 70% of boost controller maximum (where we were before), gave it another shot. Had to shut down at ~4300RPMs due to some pinging (erring on the side of caution).

http://dglicoes.home.comcast.net/Run5Sized.jpg

Um yeah- So 366.28ft/lbs of torque? Jebus.

Next step- Rip out the 3L oval intake/Mazda 6 exhaust cam combo, throw in a set of SVT cams, run it again.

Any donators? :ugh:

That's it. I have more modifications (headers, CAI) to install here later and I'll take it to get retuned. Hopefully even better numbers at that time.
