As for the barrel yeah I think you should, that looked too small given the snail you are running...Just my 2c. Also Josh what's the deal with the injectors they seem huge, what other aparatus are you running in tandem I assume some large EFI pump, are you also running a RRFPR as mine has run rich as buggery for eternity, hence the reason I went the Adaptronic as nothing else seem to raise the AFR rather than in your case seeking to richen it up?
As for boost given the graph maybe I was deluding myself as that is pretty much what it was doing previously, whistling by 3K and all hell breaks loose by 4. So difference really, still hard to tell driving back as I had to be a good boy.
Yea when i bought the barrel it was (and still is) rated to 270HP so i thought i
should be plenty - It'll cool up to about 14psi but i guess as i'm running a smaller turbo it's making a lot more heat on the higher boost. Your turbo is a fair bit bigger than mine.
Dean was running single 880cc injectors on his and was able to tune it down to 202HP ATW. I had 315cc in mine and they weren't enough so i would suspect you have something bigger as well knowing all the other stuff that came with it
There hasn't been any change in the drivability of the car down low with these injectors and the computer is having no trouble controlling them. I'm running at around 11:1 at the moment on full boost just to keep the inlet temps cooler, so once i change the cooler and get it tuned i should see some gains.
Your car was just running rich due to the factory computer which dumps fuel on higher boost levels, maybe it was coupled with bigger injectors and was just putting a lot more fuel in than it should/would have. Just putting the adaptronic on would have fixed this. I've always had a standalone and it was good up until i tried to get more power out of it and then it was leaning out on max injector duty. I'm using a Bosch 910 Fuel pump which flows 130L per hour and is rated at 380HP - it is coupled to a SARD RRFPR however it's not necessarily needed with the aftermarket computer.
Im sure we can manage to get a good turnout when you come up
