flash tuners??

[xr8man83]

A flash tuner on a ba xr8 set to proformance gives the ba about 350 kw how much would you expect from a series 2 au xr8 ute??

Umm. Not too sure on the 350kw from a BA there mate. Maybe close with some other mods.

Series 2 Au will be anywhere between 160and 200rwkw. Have you dyno's it yet? What other mods have you got?

Actual results I have seen with falsh tune on a manual BA XR8, with either intake only, or intake and exhaust mods, range from 240 rwkw to 260 rwkw. These equate to approx 320kw to 350kw at the flywheel (using 25% drivetrain losses as a guide).


My mate has a series 2 sedan (200 flywheel kw - or 150rwkw) and got 181rwkw (about 240 fwkw). Yours being a ute rated at 185fwkw would expect around 165 to 170 rwkw (or approx 220 fwkw) after intake, exhaust and a flash tune. That's compared to approx 135 to 140rwkw standard (assuming it's a manual). If yours is auto, your base is more like 130rwkw, and the improvement would see up to about 160rwkw.

yea me mate ba has a few mods to it big exhaust and headers a larger throttle body so thats how he got bout 350 at the flywheel. mine is a auto and i have got the exhaust done with headers i havnt had it on a dyno yet i was just wondering how much i could expect from it wth a flash tuner but if i could expect bout 160 at the treads that would be good has any1 else done this to there au's????

Your best bet is to get it on a dyno first, and see what the AFRs are - if they are OK (up around 12 or 12.5) then you won't need an edit, unless you want the edit solely to remove the torque reductiuon startegy, raise the rev limit, set a valet tune etc. If they AFRs are all over the shop, and especially if the midrange is really rich (between 10 and 11), an edit/flash tune will definitely release some more power for you, and better driveability.

Anyway, with the mods you have (still no idea if it's auto or manual), you should be up around the 150 or so mark at the wheels anyway (+/- 10%)

Series 11 ute ,Id say same donk specs as mine 200kw version 5.0 with headers and single system netted around 150rw stock and 173 after edit ,but the end figure is not the be all ,its only a bunch of numbers ,dont drive my car much at all anymore but when I do ,its quite enjoyable compared to no edit, can use on 4 more cars and is best choice mod I have made yet

talk to any of AFF sponsors that do edits they will prob have someone who has similar and could give you a decent idea on pwr and $$$
