Boost spike on dyno but not on street test


Cullen

Recommended Posts

I got my spec b legacy tuned recently to 191kw 356wnm at 16psi. On the dyno the boost spiked to 21 psi! Apparently this never happened on the street run which was done afterwards.

 

It seemed weird because the clutch was slipping at 17psi, hence the boost being limited to 16psi. The clutch never slips when I drive it hard. Should I be concerned at all?

 

A few months later the cambelt snapped, I'm not blaming this on the tuner, could a poor timing belt cause this?

 

This is my first time ever getting a car tuned 😁

The dyno will load your car in ways that it's unlikely to ever see on the road, but also... no, it shouldn't do that.

 

Clutch is on the way out, if it slipped on the dyno it will start slipping on the street, but presumably you have the motor out anyway due to snapping a cambelt so you may as well do it.

Timing belt isn't going to cause boost spikes, it's either a crap tune, inadequate parts, or something was faulty or installed incorrectly.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
