Basic mods.. what power are you getting.. Exhaust OTR Tune

[kye,s SSV]

Had these mods done vcm otr MAF version ,Pacemaker headers X force 2.5" and tune and only made 258.5 rwkw .Ive seen bigger figures thrown around here. So whats the deal .post brands of mods and what dyno as people her seem to think numbers can vary a hell of a lot

[Munz]

Dyno numbers differ from dyno to dyno there just numbers, the track will tell the story
how bout you tell us where yours was tuned, did they give you a Air/Fuel printout, do you have highflow cats?

[kye,s SSV]

no printout standard cats ,Was willing to get highflow cats but shop told me they wont be a restriction until i make big power which wont be happenin as it carts my wife and bub around,,,they did muck around with air flow obviously ,Cause i had check eng light pop up soonas i put in VCM otr

[Munz]

is yours auto or manual kye?
As the Auto is usually down on power

[kye,s SSV]

manual,20,s on a dyno dynamics Iknow its a #### thing but i wanted bigger numbers ,,i really thought id feel the tune more ,,Isure felt the differnce with vcm otr

[Munz]

Post Steal thanks tom

the series 2 (L77) will make about 10-15kw less than a series 1 (L98) because it has a different cam and lifter setup for the AFM/DOD (yes, even the manuals with series 2)

[MathoSSV]

Sounds like exactly what I would have expected for those mod's

[StoneX]

Pacemaker 1 3/4" 4 into 1's, Ballistic high flow cats, KPM 2.5" cat-back, Duspeed OTR CAI, auto, 20" rims and made 254RWKW. See link in sig for more info.

I'll be doing full 3" kpm system with otr and tune next week... Will see what power i get with that... My SSV is manual...

[Vt_vic]

so its only a maf not mafless tune? doesnt mafelss make a bit more kw's

[Lumps of cheese]

From the mods you have it sounds about right, but it also depends on the dyno. One will give you one figure, then the next one will give you a totally different one.

Mate i only made 248rkw with a vcm otr, mafless tune, full 3" and manual, acording to oztrack they have had cars get up in the 280rkw zone from them mods, they checked my tune and its pretty much just a basic tweak of the fuel map(what a waste of 1500 for a mafless tune), so he is doing a full retune for me, hoefully pull some better numbers then and better fuel eco too

what was the tuning software used? i get 258rwkw with the same setup as yours but auto.sounds like your tuner only knows the basics

[Haluigi]

Hey mate. I've got hurricane 1 3/4 headers , hi flow cats, 2.5" hurricane catback, vcm otr maf and full tune. 262rwkw and 626nM torque

Oh ands it a 2010 ssv g8 manual ute

[K-Man]

SSV - Manual - L98 - Pacemaker 1 3/4" headers, Hi-flow cats, Twin 3" exhaust, OTR and custom mafless dyno tune = 262rwkw, 620Nm Torque :-)

I dunno svs up here did the tune, steve should be able to get about 275 - 285rkw or so, so im pretty keen just waiting on a part to arrive then ill be wiping the shit tune i have atm

2008 SSV - A6 - L98 - Pacemaker 1 3/4" headers, Hi-flow cats, 2.5" exhaust, OTR and custom mafless dyno tune = 257rwkw.

According to a few other I've spoken to, the variance in power for similar mods (taking into account whether it's a A6 or M6) is due not only to the tune, but also the year / period it was built in. I've been told that since since the VE's introduction, they have sourced cams from three different suppliers during 2006-2009), thus each cam has slightly different specs thus given more or less kw's than the one prior. Base line rwkw for the L98 VE's has been as low at the high 190's into the high 220's. Thus I think this cam story holds some water.

Would be interested to test this theory by seeing rwkw for basic zort, OTR and tune mods and the year build to see if their is some truth in this.

So if you have the basic bolt on mods only as noted above note the following:

2008 (auto or man) XXXrwkw

there there, everything will be ok

maybe u need to do what wogboy is doing Voodoo, maybe it wasnt tuned properly, seems like a huge difference even if it is a different year, and urs is a manual

[GKW]

Give some results I've seen outside of this forum (mates rides) , I have this feeling that 2007 makes will have the higher rwkw's. Will be interesting to see how this pans out over the coming days.

It seems you should get between 250 and 260 with the basic mods. Also of note there will probably be a few Kw here and there depending on brands used, who tuned your car and if it was built on a Friday. I would be suprised to see anything more than 265 - 270.

Autocal i persume? Buy one, best thing i did as i've used it a few times and it saves waiting for one to come in the post.
Steve's tunes are excellent, you'll be rapt with the results.

Ve SS Sedan, Manual. Xforce stepped headers, 3" xforce cats, xforce 3" catback, DUS otr, tune. 269.9rwkw

[MathoSSV]

Table is a bit pointless in my opinon, interesting sure, but too many variables, as shown by the fact the manual made a heap less than the two autos, to compare if there are any actual differences between year models it would have to be same dyno, same day, same mods
