Default Finally Got the Boost Gauge to prove that I was only at 14 psi and 306.5 rwhp.....

heres the video, everything was hooked up by special tool the other day, i took a video today to prove that the boost gauge used on the dyno is exactly what the zietronix boost gauge reads
dyno charts and everything are in the video
check it out and sorry guys its true 14 psi at 306.5 rwhp
and sorry to those who thought that these number could never come out of a k26/6
chris
sorry if the video isn't perfect i had an unexperienced camera man
might take a couple minutes for video to show up..

a few questions,

1. what is all that white stuff on the ground , sand ?
2. how are you compensating for the blow off valve, i guess it is not to atmo ?
3. Is that a stock k26/6 ?

car looks good , love the front splitter ... re dyno on a dynojet i suspect you will see closer to 270 whp in comparsion to the dynomite ....

what mods?

Uncorrected or corrected numbers? My car put down 289rwhp and 330rwtq on a dynojet uncorrected so you are right where a very tight running car should be.

BTW: love the color, rims and splitter. you have a very nice car!

Very nice. Even if the numbers are off for some reason, still very nice.

You're supposed to do the passes on a street with no traffic though.

So basically about 120hp crank over stock with some chips. At one bar the dpwg won't do too much, the MAF and the exhaust may get you spooling a little earlier.
All I can say is congrats.

I believe only one other person on here has made over 300hp with a k26/6 and it was something like 301. Very nice! What MAF system are you using?

We obsessed over this car.
It was actually tuned on the dyno not just superman run.
It was also tuned on the road with its on board wideband/datalogger.
We picked up something like 50 FT/LBS on the dyno using the SMT6.
The timing is stock APE MAF chip.
Everything is perfect.
There is not one leak on either side of the cylinder head.

Hey looks great! Quick question, what's the muffler on that? Sounds good. Not too loud.
