dkflipse's C32 on Mustang Dyno w/19" wheels: 352RWHP & 361RWTQ!
I'm still pondering how in the world he's making so much RWHP & RWTQ on 19"
wheels. As of right now I'm bald ripping my hair out and watching black hair
turn white. My hats off to you Donn
As FAR as I know, he has a Renntech Stage 1, SL55 intake, SL55 splitter,
Johnson Pump, and Code3's heat exchanger: Correct me if I'm wrong Donn
Well here's the pudding ya'll been waiting for:
Also take NOTE that everytime you RUN your car, it gets better and BETTER
And the actual graphs, pretty damn good AFR: Kudos to you Renntech!
And Donn, your C32 is making 18.5PSI (33psi - 14.5psi = 18.5psi):
And your IAT's: (Mine are lower than yours BTW
)
Soon I'll start a thread of MY C32, and a LET vs CODE3 IAT on the dyno
wheels. As of right now I'm bald ripping my hair out and watching black hair
turn white. My hats off to you Donn

This car is running great. Very nice A/F. I'm struggling with a A/F fuel problem on my SLK32. I think the fuel pump is the weak point. SLK32s run out of fuel system capacity at about 350 hp. C32s don't seem to have this problem. SLKs have slightly larger injectors and use an external fuel pump. The C32s use a fuel pump that is in the gas tank.

IIRC, you and I have previously discussed your potential fuel delivery situation. Have you read its pressure at the rail during WOT runs/tests? Only reason I ask is because the external pump is so easily upgraded. The C contingent is SOL without a substantial expenditure.

If you do indeed have sufficient volume and its commensurate pressure, then perhaps it’s a DME tuning opportunity that is next on the agenda.

you can watch the car go from 12:1 A/F to 15:1 A/F in an instant right at 1.4 bar of boost...just food for thought...i am working on the tuning issue

steve, i don't think it is the pump or injectors, i have a steady 55 pounds all the way to redline...i think it is a tuning issue...do you have a wideband O2 on the car?

The reason why I think it is a pump or injector problem is that after I had my headers made, the car leaned out. I had it reprogrammed to add 10% more fuel through the entire RPM range. It worked at the lower RPMs but at 4500 rpm and higher, adding more fuel didn't have any impact on the A/F. The car ran the same as it did before the reprogram. I don't have a wideband O2 on the car. All of the A/F data was captured using a tailpipe sensor on a dyno. I haven't seen anything near 15 to 1 using the tailpipe sensor. I'll email you the before and after program data. Maybe you are right and it is a tuning issue. I hope it is.

In looking at the graphs above more closely, why are the top graphs showing 15:1 and the bottom showing a good 12.x to 1?

you could be right. When they made the official increase of the speed-limit up to 280 KM/H at AMG in Affalterbach/Germany on my SLK32, they also changed the fuel pump into a bigger one. They said it is neccessary because the normal fuel pump is at its limit, especially when you drive faster than 250 KM/H for a longer period. When you rise the speed-limit of a C32 at AMG/Germany, you don't have to change the fuel pump. The C32 has, as you said, a different fuel pump.
Hope that helps.

shoot me an email, i would like to see the data...they added 15% fuel to my car, no change either...i think they are tuning the wrong part of the graph...either that, or we really are running out of fuel...either way, i am going to get it figured out before i put the twin turbos on...did Renntech do the tuning on the dyno?

Erick, based on the 450cc injectors that are in the SLK, Chris did the calculations and for the hp we are tying to produce, we are getting close to the limit of the injectors. On the C32, the injectors are a little smaller I think so C32 could be having issues because of the injectors and SLK32 because of the fuel pumps or it may just be the entire fuel system. I'm going to start but upgrading the pump but if I want to go to a larger pulley, I think the injectors could be the next weak point on SLKs. If the injectors are really smaller on the C32, then they could be the weak point on the C32.
sorry for complaining about the tuning Adam, my mistake...

"I finally got the specs on the SRT6 injectors from my SPY at Bosch I must say, they have a HUGE flow difference from the NA engine and now I have to figure out how the SC engine is regulating the flow, whether by pulse width or pressure regulator.
NA ENGINE: 17 lbs/hr at 3.8 Bar, or 55 psi/ 14.5 ohms.
SC ENGINE: 51.6 lbs/hr @ 55.1 PSI / 14.5 Ohms based on 380 kPA = 3.8 bars = 55.1 PSI "

51,6 lbs/hr * 55,1 psi = 541,8cc ???? 450 cc ?

A guy on the r170 forum had his injectors flow tested and reported that they are 450cc. He is having them enlarged.

And well not really relevant to the C32, here is a link to a new thread more more details on the SLK32 fuel system.
