Casper Graphs...who said a VCT has no power?

Casper · 01-01-2005, 08:29 PM

Well, after all the stuff that has happened to my car over the last 18 months I thought it would be interesting to take the dyno graphs I had and compare them on one page to see the changes.
I plotted them all out and, with excel, added them to a graph. Actually very interesting. One thing that amused me is that now the latest power curve STARTS almost 10rwkw MORE than the original peak power with the dead MAP. Anyhow, I thought it was interesting.

Shite thats some BIG inceases there ghost.......

Casper · 01-01-2005, 08:41 PM

Well, the blue line is with a dead Map and running a 10-1 A/F ratio, massive rich.
Purple is with the Unichip for the challenge and is closer to the stock figures. The next too are a huge jump with the exhaust and intake then the chip on top. All up, nothing in the head or engine has been changed, simply bolt on stuff.

loxxr6 · 01-01-2005, 09:31 PM

Its definately a nice increase over stock.

Off topic : In another week and a bit I hope to be dev 5 cammed. I can't wait.

Amaziiiing figures really, to get a 42% increase in power with these mods is excellent. And just shows you dont have to spend huge $$$ to get a I6 movin.
good work! How much is the chip fitted and tuned?

The Chip is $595 plus about $50 for fitting at a local distributer. I havent even had it custom tuned yet, its just a tune Lachlan did from the info I provided, still a little more in it when its custom tuned (another $200 or so). Well worth every cent too.

The VCT has an agressive cam as stock so that helps a bit too. Overall I cant complain, I think its a pretty good result for an auto.

Any idea what sort of ET and rwkw you will get once the dev5 cam is installed?

The Mighty Red · 06-01-2005, 11:31 PM

I know you'll be sayin goodbye to 15 secs

I wont be getting a Dev 5 VCT cam, I'll be staying with the stock cam.
Still, the place for the car is a 14.5 second 1/4 pass by the time I'm finished, should get pretty close I think.

BA cant use the same chip I used, it will need an XEDE, Unichip or the new edit when its ready for the 6.

You may want to read the "chip challenge" we did on aufalcon.com as well. It might clear up some things for you as to what they can and cant do.

Already read it. Top read it is aswell, Think the chiptorque is more suited for what i need, both are obviously very good chips

Both are excellent, but I agree, for what I needed, the CT was the one for me too.
Now, on to bigger, better (and more expensive

: ) mods.

Auto VCT doing a NA 14.5 quarter? Anyone want to place a bet that this is impossible?

loxxr6 · 07-01-2005, 02:08 PM

Its horrible when it gets to that stage isn't it...when your dollar gets you less bang for buck.

The laws of deminishing returns I'm afraid. Of course, "expensive" is a subjective term too. I'm sure what I classify as expensive others see as cheap and vice versa.
Still, maybe a little over a $1000 and I should be nudging that 14.5 second 1/4 I think.

Its not how much you spend, its how smartly you spend it...and how well the whole package comes together. :monkes:

JC · 08-01-2005, 12:17 AM

Casper - if you can get down to 14.5 in a VCT 6 without pulling the motor apart, i for one will be bloody amazed.

now, how much is the chiptorque chip for the V8's. If it's around the same money and gets a similar result, I think I'm up for one of them. Do they do lay-buys?

Hehehehehe, prepare to be amazed by the end of the year JC. I'll get damn close to it I suspect.
As for the Chiptorque, well, it can do whatever the unichip can do and there some. Total cost is around $595 (chip) + $50 (fitting) + $200 (custome tuning) so your looking at $845 or there abouts. Certainly less than $1000 for the whole shebang, but no laybuy.

JC · 08-01-2005, 03:22 PM

Thanks Casper - I found your link to their site earlier in the thread and clicked on it. I couldn't buy the chip (even though I added it to my shopping cart), so I e-mailed them with my mods, and am waiting for them to get back to me.

I'm very interested in doing this though, as the V8s tend to run pretty rich in standard tune as well, so leaning the mixture out a fraction should provide a bit more oompf.
