234WHP!! I'm back!! Thanks Emil

Two weeks ago I got my car back from Johnny's Auto Clinic where it was for three months being repaired due to a blown piston from running too lean. Johnny's took great care of me and called me weekly just to keep me up todate, like pistons being back ordered, Quaife...etc.
Now I have put about 1300 easy miles on the car and it was time to tune it, but the closet guy to me was an 1100 mile round trip. By shear luck I found a guy named Emil that tuned my car to run safe and for the air/fuels to me perfect. After he was done I never expected the gains I recieved. On my first dyno pull I put down 180whp and running a bit lean and having the car pull timming. Emil started from there and tweeked it a few times and by my fourth pull the car put down 234whp with safe air fuels and no timming being pulled.
The drive home was a blast and the car pulls hard all the way to 7500rpm. I'm glad to be back in full swing and thankful for meeting Emil. I have a feeling he will be tunning my E55 as well. I have attached a pre and post dyno from today, they open in Adobe reader.

Here is the link for the dyno Video http://media.putfile.com/Mario-Kart---234-WHP-Dyno-Run

BTW you can reach emil for tunning at emil@itonline.com

The TQ was 175wtq but I left the sheet at work near the scanner. I'm guessing peak was around 5k.

Thanks Nick, did you notice your face in the video? The car pulls very nice and smooth, in a way the car almost feels lighter.

That is the best news I have heard Mario. Congrats man. I'm glad you got it back. I've been thinking about your car since day one and wondering how it will be so much better.

Now I have to drive down to So. cali. to visit so we can go for a spin.

Way to go Mario . It was a hard road back but you made it.

Did Emil tune for high HP sacrificing TQ in the process? I would have thought that with what you have in your car, 185 to 190 TQ should have been in doable.

I Know what its like to not have your car for awhile. feels good to have it back doesn't it. Have fun!

Great job!!! Tell Emil that he did a great job as well.
Do you think a 240HP run could be met?
240 is my goal...I wanna keep up with the stock VW R32's and Honda S2000's

My TQ seemed about right because the other people getting 201whp were getting 145wtq. Everyone was saying this dyno was very harsh on the TQ.

You should have no problem with an S2000 they have no TQ and even though they have 240hp at the crank they are about 200hp at the wheels. I have raced the S2000 and was surprised how bad they suck. The R32 is a monster off the line because of the all wheel drive, but that tranny set up soaks up a lot of hp,about 23% similar to the WRX STI. That would put the R32 at 184wheel HP but I'm sure the Tq is close to the same. My crank HP should be some where around 265-270hp

DDDAAAMMMNNNN!!!!!!

54 hp!!!!! I did miss out!

I should of coughed up the $475.00

I wonder what they could of done with my car????

That was crazy seeing you guys today... My crackberry battery is dead and I left my charger at the house up north.

So how was it today? Did you see the junk yard on State st...????

It was funny.... We were standing in the middle of State st. checking out all the hardcore lowriders.... Then Grady turns to me and says super loud... "I thought you said there was going to be cool cars here"...

So does MarioKart feel alot faster or what????

I will call you tomorrow..

Jasun
