Looks good to me. I'll be hitting traffic heading home if it goes that long but its worth it. =) EC told me they will still log my car and flash it even if we cant get an AWD dyno setup.


Cant wait to see how the car performs with the pipes and tune !

I thought it went freaking awesome !

I had them check it when I got there and I had 482 Hp (492 torque)
and after a a couple of reflashes, it was up to 521 Hp (549 torque)

the amusing part was that Philip asked me if I thought my belt might be slipping because he thought the torque was off a bit. I told him I doubted it (have BWK and larger lower pulley), so then he and Vlad speculated that the tires were spinning some. We were all set to throw a couple of tuners in the trunk (Vlad and one other were going to climb in to put more weight on the rear tires) then the dyno operator suggested spraying some VHT on the rear tires and the next pull the torque went up by about 30!

all in all great day

started out with an EC box tune and 482 HP

spent $300 and left with 521 HP and gobs more torque !

Great Time, Great working with Vlad and Eurocharged on this

Thanks to all for putting this on guys!

I was first on the dyno this morning. Vlad (ASP), Philip (Eurocharged), and Edwardo (D&R Performance) were all so professional and made the event so easy to enjoy. These people provide a service that helps us enjoy our cars to the next degree.

I had my car remote tuned 6 weeks ago by Eurocharged in 100 degree temperatures in Sacramento. The numbers suffered due to the heat. 430 HP and 480 TQ was all I got that day. My baseline dyno stock was 462 HP on a 66 degree day last March.

Today was in the low 70's in Hayward - perfect day for a dyno.

Having Philip there was so critical - If anyone ever gets the chance to dyno directly with Eurocharged in the future, don't miss out. The results are awesome!

With a 77mm clutched pulley and additional HE in series, I made 504 wheel HP! The stock injectors are a limiting factor in exceeding 500 HP, so Eurocharged safe tuned my car to 487 HP and 560 TQ. Happy I am.

Nice to finally meet Chris (latemodel21) - he is an attribute to this forum with his great inventions and intentions.

If there is space on Sat/Sun - jump on it - you will not regret.

@norcalsl55,

Awesome! I'll be there this afternoon for a dyno session. What other upgrades are you running? Intake, colder plugs, headers, cats, tb, upgraded pump, split cooling?

1 step cooler Weistec silver racing plugs, Weistec air filters, Sharduls pulleys and Belt Wrap Kit.

I wanted to keep it basic...The mods are not too extreme and are fine for what I want.

If I ever do anything more, I would start with headers and perhaps larger fuel injectors. latemodel21 has a great install solution to headers here in California. As you can see by his numbers, there are gains to be made.

I've added the tuned dyno from 8-19-16 and the stock baseline dyno from 3-18-16.

Just a note here on results after my new tune:

12.5 MPG has always been my standard for the last 6+ years driving around town (don't do too much hwy driving). Last couple of tanks - 14.5 MPG.

Coincidence?

Anyone else getting better MPG after Eurocharged tune?

TIA - Greg

My 2014 is only rated to 22 I recently got 25 MPG on a long trip. PArt of that may be from the downpipes I imagine.

Most of my driving is around town ENJOYING the car. Pretty much drive the car the same and religiously get 12.5 MPG everytime.

The car is rated at 12city/17hwy and I have no problem getting 23 on the hwy if I want to.

Just giving you a hard time. I cant remember the last time I averaged more than 14 MPG. My Vette is usually in the 12-13 MPG range and is capable of 28. My new Benz I believe I am in the 14-15 MPG range. I drive all my cars like I stole them.

I just put an 83mm s/c pulley on my E55, no other mods. Under acceleration in 2nd gear it felt flat from around 5k rpm to the shift but then after a moments delay it accelerated much more strongly in 3rd than it did in 2nd. I purchased a tune and although overall stronger it still does the same thing. This is all before heat soak occurring. I am surmising the belt is slipping until the shift and then it grabs with the lower rpm. Is that an alternate method of feeling belt slip? My hearing is not so good so may be missing the squeal. The belt is very hot when checking after a run.

If it is a belt, did you install a new one with the new pulley?

A belt wrap kit should take care of the slippage, if that is what you are suffering from...
