Vortech Supercharged 350z finished up

AV Tuning & Development — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:55:30 +0000

A quick glance at this vehicle and one would think it was a regular stock 350z. Under the hood of JW’s 2004 350z lies a Vortech Supercharger, Nismo R-Tune 350z Headers, and Nismo S-Tune Catback Exhaust. To help put the power down to the ground we went with the Competition Clutch Stage 4 sprung clutch assembly with the Competition Clutch 14lb flywheel. Once the clutch receives 500 miles for the break-in procedure, this set-up will be hitting the dyno for base numbers. We are predicting around 350whp-375whp before tuning is performed.

540whp/502ft-lbs Corvette ZR1

Another nice set-up from Jaime from Charleston Speed & the guys at Jamison’s Custom Corvette. 540whp/502ft-lbs on this supercharged Corvette ZR1. More info to come soon.

Layton’s RSX gets a few more goodies…

AV Tuning & Development — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:27:42 +0000

Layton’s RSX makes great power on a stock K20a2 engine with the Jackson Racing supercharger and AEM Methanol Injection. The 300whp/205tq that this set-up made finally roasted the stock clutch so we upgraded to the Competition Stage 4 Sprung Clutch and lightweight flywheel. With the addition of a better tensioner pulley this set-up is running stronger than before.

The last dyno tune that was performed on this car was back in January, which led to 300whp/205tq at a fluctuating 10-11psi on methanol injection. The temperature were 70 degree’s and 10% humidity which yielded roughly 78 degree IAT’s. With the addition of the clutch, lightweight flywheel, and tensioner, the engine finally held a steady boost pressure of 11.5psi and made 295whp/201tq in 102 degree weather with 42% humidity and 100-110 degree IAT’s. We believe in ideal conditions as we had in January this set-up would be around the 315-320whp marker which is very impressive for a Jackson Racing supercharger on a stock K20a2.

Old Tune – 300whp/205tq

‘57 Corvette hits the dyno!

AV Tuning & Development — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:57:56 +0000

This car was built by Jamison’s Custom Corvette’s to replicate the 50’s era track car. This reproduction ‘57 Corvette body is on a Jamison’s Custom Corvettes conversion tube chassis with C4 Vette front and rear suspension. The Transmission features a Keisler 6 speed trans with stock shifter location. A ZZ383 GM crate engine with Arizona Speed and Marine RamJet style EFI intake converted to replicate classic Rochester injection helps to make the 341whp/353ft-lbs of power. On the Engine management end is a GM "730" type ECU.

BG’s Turbo H22a CRX hits the dyno – 328whp/245tq

AV Tuning & Development — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:40:17 +0000

This set-up features a built H22a shortblock (Darton sleeves, 9.0:1 Pistons, Eagle Rods), Love-Fab Mini-Me EQ Turbo Manifold, 3" DP/Exhaust, Precision Billet 6262SP, PTE 1000cc injectors, and Hondata s300 with boost control. At 12psi this set-up is making 306whp/240tq. At 15psi we made 328whp/245tq in 102 degree weather. This set-up will be back soon for more boost in the quest to hit 400whp.

Dyno Day Pictures are up!

Click on the picture below to go to see all the pictures from our July 2010 Dyno Day:

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Dyno Day!

From simple stock set-ups making 160whp all the way to sleeper Turbo GMC trucks making 620whp… the dyno day was a huge success & a lot fun for everybody! The weather was beautiful despite it being 102 degrees and we had roughly 60-75 cars show up and had 20 cars hit the dyno. Special thanks go out to Jason F. who took care of the food & beverages, our staff who helped out (John, Creighton, Will, & Luke), and everybody that came out to support us.

We are currently working on the HD video’s and hope to have them on the site very soon. Please keep checking back for updates!

JS’s ’97 Eclipse GST gets tuned – 240whp/237tq

AV Tuning & Development — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 19:02:12 +0000

JS’s ’97 GST has very basic upgrades. A front mount intercooler, manual boost controller, and upgraded 16g turbo. Tuned via ECM Link (DSM Link) we manged to go from 191whp/170tq at 6psi to 240whp/237tq with tuning and 11psi. The wastegate on this set-up is very weak as you can see from the fluctuations on the dyno chart. With the addition of a stronger internal wastegate and additional tuning this set-up should be able to make around 280-300whp safely.

Dyno Tuned – 506whp Nitrous equipped SRT-8

AV Tuning & Development — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:52:29 +0000

We get our first Nitrous equipped SRT-8 in the shop thanks to Jaime at Charleston Speed. After some tuning, this set-up managed to make 411whp/405whp from the previous 396whp/388ft-lbs. With nitrous and tuning this set-up left with 506whp/522ft-lbs. Big power from a very simple set-up.

Hondata Reflash Dyno Chart – RSX K20a2

AV Tuning & Development — Thu, 27 May 2010 21:13:40 +0000

We thought we would show results of the Hondata Reflash and AEM CAI on a completely stock K20a2 RSX. Peak gains of 34whp/30ft-lbs. Not too shabby for very simple bolt-ons. Keep in mind, with KRPO tuning we typically pick up an additional 10whp over the reflash units.

JJ’s ’00 Turbo Civic Si Tuned – 350whp/241tq

AV Tuning & Development — Tue, 25 May 2010 18:33:07 +0000

Very impressive results for low boost out of this flat black beauty! The main components of this set-up consist of a built LS/Vtec (81.5 Aries 9:1 pistons, Eagle Rods, stock sleeves), Port & Polished P72 Cylinder head (Crower valve-springs, retainers, guides, Ferrea Valves, GSR Cams), AEBS Intake Manifold, Apex’i GTR Intercooler, Turbonetics TE60-1 Turbo, custom kit, RC 750cc injectors, Walbro 250hp Fuel pump, and tuning via AEM EMS. All of these components help to yield an impressive 350whp/241tq with only 10.5lbs of boost. There’s a lot more room to grow with this set-up!
