Blue power Air Box and tune results.

hot460 · 23-05-2006, 08:07 PM

I was totally amazed on Friday when I took my BF XR8 6speed auto to Chris for a tune. Chris dyno'd the car and 206 rwkw's was standard with just headers and cats fitted.

Chris put his generic tune in and instantly 217 rwkw's. Abit of a surprise to me.

Then he went to work on a custome tune which resulted in 226 rwkw's. How cool...... At this stage I asked him about the air box a few of the boys have that he makes. Chris (MYV8) and Wade (Lowride260) Rave about the awesome sound these things make.
So Chris put it on for me to GIVE IT A GO and see the results.

To my amazement 229 rwkw's came up on the 1st run, with Hp gains right across the range. (interesting) Then he set about tunig the car to the airbox and the final 235 rwkw's.

So the gain of 9 rwkw's though a small mod like the Bluepower Air Box is Outstanding to me.

So the custom tune and air box picked up 29 rwkws. :eclipsee_

The part I love is the ROAR that the intake now makes is totally awesome :evil_laug
I took it to the track on sat and only did 2 full passes in auto mode. Stock was 14.0 down to 13.41 turning the tyres. I am sure with decent rubber a 12second pass is very possible and on the next outing with only these modes. What a amazing gain for the cost of these modes.

:

I would 100% recommened a Custom Tune and Air box from Chris at Blue Power Racing Developments!!!!!!! Definatly money well spent...

Thanks Chris, I Love the car now.

I have to say, I'm still impressed with the gains Chris has achieved with the standard airbox in my car.
I can only imagine what extra gains we might get using a Blue Power air box.

As for the tuning, Chris I am still amazed how docile my car is in daily driving and yet it will chirp the tyres hard now under a full throttle upchange.

Exactly what the Doctor ordered! :dr_Evil:

I am sure once he drives his after Chris does a little more work to it he'll have a HUGE smile. Lol

Des Flurane · 24-05-2006, 12:07 PM

But when will the airboxes arrive?
I know, Chris, this week ;-)
But when your in NZ there's a great deal of hoopla to get them onto the car.
And I need more power.

XRCIST · 24-05-2006, 05:30 PM

Excellent results there mate, and a 13.4 with just those mods!!!! These new 6speeds are fantastic. So whats next, quad outlet exhaust? :sm_headba

No more quad. As soon as we crack the 12's I will be doing another trip down to see Chris.
Time to put the Blower on and push the tow car into the 11's!!!!!!!!!!! :eclipsee_

See you soon I hope Chris.

XRCIST · 24-05-2006, 05:47 PM

That will be good, mmmmm blower. Good luck with it mate

Redrum · 24-05-2006, 08:54 PM

Might have to consider one of these for my T.

hot460 · 15-06-2006, 11:02 PM

Well last night I went to WSID and run 13.0 @ 104.5 mph on Dunlop sp3000 turning the tyres for HALF the track!!!!!!!!!

This is a UNBELIEVABLE gain for the dollars outlaid. The car Will run a easy 12 with MT Et street radials. Have to wait for Rocket to get them in unfortunatly.

Chris you are the man when it comes to tuning these FORDS and getting them down the track FAST.

well done mate especially on those tyres......I am going over to Calder at the end of July to see how the GT runs with just an exhaust, tune and CAI with the 6 speed auto so it should be interesting.

cheers

Redrum · 16-06-2006, 12:36 PM

Was down at Cooper Street yesterday, watched a very nice BF Super Pursuit, 6 speed auto, have one of Chris's airbox fitted. First run after fitting, extra 12rwkw, then with tinkering of tune, total of extra 20rwkw. Not bad at all!! The beast with airbox, exhaust and tune now has 259.5rwkw. Had me drooling, but the stock BF Typhoon, 6 speed auto, fully optioned in Bionic that rocked up later and gained 60rwkw with tune only was my dream car

I wish I had a 290 boss. I am sure you will put down some awesome times. :sm_headba
Good luck Brad.

qwigybo · 16-06-2006, 04:49 AM

robbed by .1 i would be shattered to see 13.0 when hoping for a 12 but then again atm i would be happy to see 13.0

qwigybo · 16-06-2006, 07:48 PM

has anyone got a pic of the cai and would it be compatible with the xr6t

Tornado · 17-06-2006, 11:50 AM

Any idea on the time frame for the AU CAI.
Wouldn't the BA one fit on my car ? The BA XR8 and GT use the same pod filter as my car.

Hey Goran,

we are still tinkering with the design - the AU box is critical, especially since the MAF is involved - it has to be 100% right before we make a move. I will call you personally when they are ready.

Chris

Ruger · 18-06-2006, 09:42 PM

when you changed the air box from the stock one did the stock one have any mods eg did it have the f6 snorkel or a ss inductions snorkel etc? what filter was run also?

Thank you.

ReVd_uP · 19-06-2006, 05:21 PM

ill probably be up for one too, maybe my extractors will finally be here by the time its ready, so you only have to do one retune

hot460 · 06-07-2006, 10:27 AM

Another trip out to WSID last night, 5 runs
Traction is crap at night in winter.

best 2 were
13.065 @ 107.00 mph 1.953 60'
13.087 @ 105.66 mph 1.958 60'

Time for the blower Chris!

Good going there mate. A shame i didnt make it last night due to unforseen circumstances.
BTW why would winter affect traction?

An dunlop 3000's lol.

Must seem a bit frustrating Rich knowing it can do a 12 but not being able to get all the power to the ground criky you only need a poofteenth more also great 60's there mate for the setup you have.

That I think will be my last go at the 12's on the dunlops.
Time for the Blower now, Its so frustrating doin 13.0's the last 4 visits to the track.

I was stoked about the 107mph though.

brenx · 06-07-2006, 05:06 PM

mph and 60's are quite good. You'll just have to hold your tongue on the right angle to run that 12

Good work and keep at it.

dute · 08-07-2006, 09:24 AM

Go for it Rich you will get him, sorry Wade.

its all in good fun

I know I will win with the coupe if I can get it down the track, but young Wade is doin something very interesting with his ute to smack the blown tow car. (He hopes) lol :evil_laug
