Thanks for the video. Always wanted the type r and about to pull the trigger on a 2021 this weekend. Silly question though: what would the car make with FBOs minus the tune?

[@MotoRX1]

I'm not 100% sure actually. I was FBO with basemap tune when I went on the dyno. Plus...306hp stock is at the crank. Maybe somewhere close to 300-315 whp FBO with no tune.

hey love the car and just a question, i also have a FBO type r and i got a problem right now, i keep going through spark plugs and the car can barely hold a WOT pull, is it the plugs im getting? or the igntion timing perhaps being off? and what plugs was the car in the video running?

[@MotoRX1]

Car has only had stock NGK plugs. Unless you've got some crazy hot tune that would require aftermarket iridium plugs, I would stick with OEM. Did you have it tuned when it was cold? Could be running lean in this hot time. Tuner will want data logs and they can tell you if it is still running the correct AF ratio during power pulls.

[@Hamster99ful]

@@MotoRX1 I actually ordered ngk plugs I’m just waiting for them to come, and my car was actually tuned in hot Florida weather, I also sent my tuner data logs just waiting for him to get back to me and I’m just getting other peoples input.

Now that it's up on power, if I give it too much throttle in low speed corners the wheels can break loose and it can start to push. Otherwise, she almost handles like an AWD on the track. Get some Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, upgraded pads and front rotors, and replace your brake fluid with Racing Brake Fluid rated 600 or higher... you'll be set to attack the track.

[@mkluch]

I assume that most of the tuning involved adding timing since the stock fuel system is pretty much maxed on the basemaps. How much timing could you add over the basemap and which basemap did you go in with?

[@MotoRX1]

I know the tuning is mainly timing and commanding peak boost earlier for the Bosch ECU. I don't know what the timing number was for my tune, unfortunately. But, I was using the 93 octane/intercooler/race downpipe/increased throttle response map at baseline.

[@MotoRX1]

Dude, the volume is not bad at all. Now I will not lie...catless downpipe with the AWE TOURING is AT LEAST 114dB on a sound meter at 50 feet away inside a large open shop at full tilt. You put your foot down and everyone gon hear you rowdy. 🤣 But the 180 drone canceling tech claim is not BS, it WORKS really well. So below 2500-3000 rpm at half throttle and gingerly driving, she is pleasantly grumbly and deep. Cruising at any speed below 4000rpm if you are at maintenance throttle, not gassing but not slowing, its almost quiet. I love my exhaust setup.....but I may have a change coming. 🤭🤫

Jeremy Rosario did 400 on 93 with prl intake, prl intercooler and a downpipe may 15 2020 in Florida. 389.66 torque and 400.80 hp. Removing smoothing doesn’t do much to numbers unless the power is erratic. Show uncorrected values. That’s where the truth is. No one and I mean no one using uncorrected numbers on a dynojet can hit 400 on 93 with bolt ons only stock turbo.

[@joescivic]

Yeah 400whp is a tough one to belive. I installed my XDi pump finally and was tuned yesterday. With my mods: PRL front pipe PRL catless Downpipe PRL high volume intake PRL thermal coated inlet pipe PRL Intercooler PRL charge Pipes Hondata Stock turbo Stock exhaust 93 octane Best numbers were 390.44 whp 394.66 tq There was an error code (which he disabled) that popped up with the MAF. I also didn't drill that high pressure line out because, and I admit, I got lazy and it looked like a pain in the ass to take that line out. Lol. But we're assuming that since it is the stock line going in a bigger pump, it could be the reason why after 5600 RPM, the graph gets jumpy. Like it is fighting for that extra fuel or something. Soooo now I ordered the race MAF from PRL, and when his mechanic guy comes back home, he'll take it out and drill that line for me, then we'll see if we can break 400whp on 93.

[@MotoRX1]

I would be interested to hear the outcome! 🔥 Keep me updated. 👍

[@joescivic]

@@MotoRX1 Sure will. I didn't think my PRL street MAF was a problem with full bolt ons. But after some reading about MAFs, I can see why. I also figured with the pump upgrade, even on 93, I'd be able to make 400whp or slightly above. I just wanted to keep the build simple and just get 93. I know the limitations, but I don't feel like mixing gas at pumps. Lol. I have access to all grades of fuel where I go, but just prefer 93 🤷‍♂️He has other Type R's on his dyno with a few bolt ons and e30 breaking 400whp. Less mods than me, but that flex fuel is helping them a lot. One car made 434whp less than a week ago on his dyno. I'm still going to atick with 93 though.

[@MotoRX1]

Big MAF, big power on 93, you need the P600. Only issue then is the fuel pump. 400hp on stock fuel/turbo really taxes the fuel delivery system. So even if you want to "not" upgrade fuel, you still have to upgrade fuel. 🤔 😆

[@joescivic]

Well, I have the XDi high pressure fuel pump, so I'm not on the stock fuel pump. If that's what you meant by stock fuel. I'm definitely not maxing out yet on fuel.

[@WickedFk8]

When you say knock, is that a bad sign for the engine?

[@MotoRX1]

It can be if it happens a lot. Knock, or spark knock, pre-ignition, pre-detonation (lots of names for it) is when your fuel system is maxing out and can't provide the fuel for the air and timing. The cylinders lean out (more air than fuel in the mix) and temperatures in the cylinder rise. As they get high enough, the gasoline spraying into the chamber ignites due to just the residual heat in the cylinder...before the spark fires. This causes booms in the cylinder that are out of time. Engine starts fighting itself to run. Bad running situation for the engine.

[@caseymartin4110]
