Quite good actually! Holds the boost well and its nice when doing short squirts through traffic cos it will go off the moment you drop the accelerator. Especially cool when holding gears in tiptronic. But if you're trying to be sensible and quiet you can just leave it in drive and accelerate normally and you wont hear it, very good for booze bus stops I have a GFB response so I run it at 50/50 all the time.
I find it's making the car run a bit rich and causing a backfire at higher revs but I'm hoping the tune will sort that out, all the mods so far are just an invitation for it to run rich as hell.

Nice work! Been following the bling me up thread for a while now and loving it! So you got the tune done at allstar? how did you end up with a flywheel figure? what was the figure atw? so thats around 160 kw then?

Yeh the at the wheels kw should be around 160kw going by that graph. You can find a HP > KW converter on the net, punch in 215.8 hp and it comes up at around 160 kw.

yeah that's what I did to get that number. My confusion lies in the fact it has measured 215.8hp at the flywheel. So converting that gives us 160kw at the flywheel, what's that at the wheels under 140kw? It just seems odd that stock flywheel numbers are 194kw and post mods and tune the flywheel measure is 160kw thats a substantial decrease. My only thought was that the dyno graph has been labelled wrong?

Yer i dont think its supposed to be HP, when you go to ASG you should ask when they do yours, coz 140kW atw I may as well have bought a hyundai.......

I noticed Jimmy S's dyno tune when he had his Lib was measured in HP too, though he had a manual which usually equates to ~30kW more on dyno tunes over autos according to Phat due to torque converter (even though in real world they would be about the same).

Your dam right there!
I'll check it out on monday. Or watch JDGT05's thread this evening, he's getting tuned at allstar as we speak!
Though even if it were 140kw atw it will crap on any hyundai from a great height!


My only other thought would be that its not a flywheel figure its a wheel or hub figure (depending on what kind of dyno it is) which then makes a lot more sense

How different does the car feel after the tune? Mine is getting done on Tuesday at ASG - our setups are the same except I have a Hyperflow TMIC and mine is manual.

Car feels very different, it now has a lot more torque and bottom end power which is what i wanted. Changes gears really smoothly, a lot more responsive and the revs just keep climbing I didnt have as much time as I would have liked with it as I was busy sorting out the steering knuckle/dump pipe issue and then had to go back to work the day after. Fuel economy is a lot better too, I got 9.4l/100 on the way home instead of about 11.4-12.4 and wasnt being shy.

I was impressed with the K2, its louder than i thought. Its slightly deeper on idle than the stock STi setup but once you put your foot down it growls with some crackles up higher. Sounds good from inside the car too and you can really hear the induction sucking and turbo whine now. If I can make a suggestion, double check your nuts and bolts on the adjustable tips if your are going to adjust them as I found these to be pretty poor and eventually all of them snapped on me. I replaced them all with better stuff from Bunnings.

Keen to see how your dyno graph reads, good luck with your tune.

[Maj3sticCr0w]

Love the car, best colour (but I'm biased )

You really need to get some more photos of the K2's on though, they look so great but your photos are pretty terrible of them!
I demand better photos

Finally have some better ones taken thanks to JDGT05

[bates91]

goddamn those are sexy

[Rome_BRZ]

They do look insanely good!

[JDGT05]

Yay go me! Your car launches hey, saw it hunting me down on the cruise yesterday thought I wasn't far off getting rear ended haha

[dr20t]

Looking great mate

In terms of dyno figure, unless your motor was out of the car and connected to an engine dyno, then your figures are definitely at the wheels. 215hp is 160kw atw which equates to about 210-215kw at the flywheel.

Car is very tastefully modified !

Just had my 18" Enkei STi rims repaired of all gutter rash and buckles (thanks to the previous owner) and repainted Gun Metal Grey. Very happy with the results, the paint finish is top quality. Sorry about the poor pics tho as I only got the car back the night before i had to head off to work, they look a lot darker in the pictures too than they are in real life. Just glad to finally have shmick rims

[JDGT05]

Looks good man!

Looking good! Time to give the kerbs a wide berth.
