Ed I also need to come back once we get a dry pattern going. I still haven't switched over to Propel. On my next refill I'll be putting in Propel E85

How much more is this set up capable of achieving?
Is this an 80%, 95%, ??% tune?
What gauges are recommend in order to complete the tune?

If we push the tune, I'd estimate this car could do about 340whp. To achieve this, I recommend a boost gauge and an EGT gauge to allow the customer to monitor the engine and allow me to run more aggressive boost and a/f. Without being able to monitor this data, I left the boost and a/f on the conservative side for the fuel and setup to make sure things are nice and safe. I personally don't like to max out a tune blindly.

What kind of power are you making from these kinds of setups? Have you tuned any EJ207's? Care to share a dyno chart?

23psi is considered conservative for a vf series turbo?

Damm 23psi....... :sign0082:

im at 23.5 psi on my vf43. but I know my tune is somewhat aggressive, but thats what I asked for :)

18psi here and still afraid that it's to much! I guess it matters more on how much power you are putting out then PSI you run?

And there's nothing wrong with doing so.

On a 2.0, yes its fairly conservative. I've run 25-26psi peak on EJ207's with VF turbos with supporting mods and fuel. Remember that max boost levels depend largely on turbo size as well as displacement. On a 2.5l, 24psi is about as much as you can really get out of a VF turbo.

Boost is also just one part of the equation. E85 makes good power by leaning out the mixture, but without an EGT gauge to verify safe temperatures, I don't feel comfortable running the car that lean.

18psi is VERY mild for E85... of course it all depends on the rest of the setup and the goals for the car.

Any response to this Paul?

I know something that's starts with a 30r that's going into this car :)
