Top Safest Boost To Run On My Evo 6

[evo edd]

Hi , Not Even A Month Pass That I Done My Map With Simon , Just Wanted To Know If I Could Turn My Boost A Bit More But Still Run Safe, I Dont Think Am Even Near 380 Bhp , Feels More Like 350/360
1.5 Holding , Could I Turn It Up To 1.7 ?? Or I Need Another Map Done? Dont See Why Not, But Any Advise Would Be Apreciated .. Thanks

Forgot To Say I Have, Evo 8 Mr Fq330 Cams, Walbro, Evo 8 Mr Turbo, Decat And Full Exaust Plus All The Breather Mods, Electronic Boost Controller , Turbo Elbow, All Hard Pipes , Evo 8 Actuator , Lightened Flyweel And 6puck Padle Clutch Stage 3 , But All Internals Are Stock , Am Thinking On Arp Bolts Soon But The Car Feels Strong And It Can Take A Bit More Of Boost I Recon Lol

Has the car been remapped at 1.5 peak ? If it has then you need to let me know what afr you are running,
and just maybe you can get away with running 1,7 peak.

between 1.5 and 1.6 peak and holding 1.5 mate, thanks for the reply by the way, just dont understand what u mean with AFR

 

[evo edd]

Its Been Mapped By Simon And For I Could Remenber Its Running Just A Bit Ritch If Afr Stands For Air Fuel Ratio Lol Sorry Just A Guess

 

[And@fcm]

do you have any logs of the car, or any dyno runs with the fueling. With a 6 I'd say 1.6 is about right for safety, you could go higher but then your risking seeing a rod

Good guess, how rich ? If it's between 10,8:1 and 11,2:1, you can run 1,7 peak, holding 1,6 bar without touching the map.

how much power u think i will be pushing then :blush:

My VI has been peaking at 1.8 bar on stock internals for nearly 5 years and 27k miles, never missed a beat

Yes it is very possible, I have done a few evo 6 over here the past few years and are still going strong, with 1.8 and cams, but it is mapped at that boost, where the O.P is asking if he can up the boost using the existing map.

Do not expect anything major, you will up the power by 12-13hp ish.

first you need to speak to Simon regarding the map, but I would not recommend turning the boost up without checking it whilst doing so and especially without seeing the current map.

if it is mapped for 1.5bar peak then chances are Simon has set the load limit to 1.6/1.7bar so turning up the boost will possibly cause you to hit the fuel cut.

(and for what you will gain is it really worth the risk?)

Thanks Alot Guys , After All The Advises I Just Keep It As It Is Until I See Simon Again .. Better To Keep The Engine Safe .. Thanks To All For The Advises

He will not hit fuel cut by upping the boost by 0.1bar, as he already runs 1.6 peak. No serious mapper sets a load limit by only 0.1bar above the specific boost around the map has been done, and no serious mapper maps a car at only the specific boost limit that the owner will be able to run, but above that at least by 0,2 bar.


If he does hit fuel cut so what, he will realize it by himself and turn it down, but I doubt he will, if the maps are rich and among the limits I mentioned, the O.P has nothing to worry about but not much to gain either.

he probably would be fine but how do you know? if he asked you to sign a disclaimer saying that you will foot the bill if it all went tits up based on your advise would you? (although I'm guessing you will still answer yes to that)

+1 get in touch with simon if your not happy sure he will sort it for you

How do I know, well I believe 15yrs of tuning experience can justify that, and yes I would sign the disclaimer.

been with simon on saturday, my map is quite agressive already and my timing its pushed to the limit so no point turning the boost up more on a car from 1999 he says , am happy with is advises and explanations of things that can go wrong or put reliability at risk.. so guys thanks alot for all your advises as well but i just keep it as it is for the sake of safety.. thanks to all ..
