I'll try. My car hasn't left my garage in a few weeks because of snow. And, it will pull harder, I don't need video of that know that it will. I'm getting a Stage III 21 PSI Tune for White Injectors.

Yes, the tune is all custom. I sent George at Viva my mod list and they create a tune specifically for what you have done to the car. For instance, they have been working on my tune since Saturday and are supposed to be wrapping it up today (probably will ship out tomorrow, hopefully). So it's not a simple download a new tune onto it. For stage I tunes, yes, it's a basic off the shelf 15 psi tune. But for custom tunes, it's all done with what you have on the car.

And the size of your injectors is one of the MOST important aspects of your tune. You're basically getting a tune for what injectors your running. If you're running a stage I tune though on the stock turbo, I don't think you need whites. George actually suggested that I upgrade the Green injectors (which is what came on the S60/V70 Rs).

 

How much power to the crankshaft you think you're producing? Impressive.

 

This is what George told me:

"but I’d expect at least 275WHP and 310WTQ with your setup, assuming everything else is operating correctly."

 

Cool and i'm here itching for the R ecu to come in the mail for "only" 240 crank and you're at almost 100 more than me? Schweeet!

Do you have the obx full exhaust? Does it drone? I'm thinking of obx from downpipe to muffler, or custom.

 

Yeah, I have the full obx. It drones a bit, but sounds good. Remember, all those numbers you see on websites for the tunes are with full exhausts and those numbers will be smaller if you don't have an exhaust.

 

Would you say the drone would be annoying for, let's say, a 54 year old woman? My mom drives my car from time to time when her Merc is down...

Yea I see those "disclaimers" about hp #s acheived on cars w/ exhaust and 93 octane. haha

I just read through your new year teaser, props to you.

 

VMax, your getting a little to excited. You cant compare what your car will do against what Gilber33s car will do. Gilber33 is running mods, your not. Not to burst your bubble but until you change your exhaust and turbo your not going go go crazy with HP. When I got my IPD tune I was not that impressed, it was nice but just so so. It wasnt until changing the turbo and exhaust that the car came alive.

 

I understand that my car will feel minimally quicker to 60 (a tenth or two, if that) but what i care most about is highway acceleration (70-110+) is where i'd edge my old ecu by .5+ tenths which equals to one or so car lengths.

In real world scenarios, a car length can be the difference between life and death. Quicker acceleration makes me happeeyeyy!

 

right, you'll have an increase, but it won't be the same. You said you have the silicone intercooler hoses, that's a good place to start. Intake and exhaust will definitely help some.

And I don't know what it will be for her. It's all preference man. It's like the same thing when people ask "what kind of oil should I use?". I think it will be fine, but at the same time, I start my my car out side in the garage when I go home to my parents', walk inside which is about 40 ft away, and my mom tells me how loud my car is.
