This was more of the ground level thought on my abovementioned comments. In all, I’d never buy anything from AMD. I suppose given how we are now seeing more and more details about the kits, I was looking for information related to installing and hardware.
we defeinetly got to find out whats going on w my car, looks like it was the only 1 that didnt go under 12 sec at the 1/4 mile,feels fast but me and JHM needs more! and BTW i drove gary’s car today felt pretty good made me miss my car even more!thank god im picking my car up tomorrow! peace!
Hey saki im not sure i want to post anything w/o his permission, but lets say his car did right between mine and meem/Peter apr kit,hey question how do u so much about my car not that i mind! More ppl to put my car where we want! and last is your car SC?
Relax Saki. My numbers were not as good as Meems. I won’t be hiding anything and would ask for feedback. Yes, finishing moving out of my old place in SJ. I drove in from LA last night. I’ll have my dyno graph tomorrow but here are the vag logs. Down approx 5% from Meems 91 oct run (seen in both my maf readings and peak numbers) - 427 whp and 384 wtq (using the 425/381 data for the graph as the a/f registered correctly). My predyno was 317/258. My maf reading are also 5% off from Per’s max (got it from one of his posts) - 265 g/a vs 278 g/s. Both hp and ya curve have the same shape for tvs1740 and 1900, but mine being lower. A/F for APR is 12.5 and my 12.8 - 13.
Two areas I’m addressing are - get a new maf (to see if this addresses my lower maf readings) and the other is the replace my rebuilt fuel pumps with new ones. My fuel rail pressure fluctuates at the higher rpms. The pumps looked more worn than what was seen in the other RS4s they worked on.
Engine load looked strong and nothing crazy with timing pull. I was running 91 oct. Ebwerks full exhaust. I had to replace the coolant cooled oil cooler (oil was present in my coolant expansion tank). Car runs much cooler now (214*). Prior to, my car typical ran 224*. Id complained to Audi during service but advisor said it was within normal range. As I mentioned above, I’ll be checking the maf and new fuel pumps. I have 80k on my car, two carbon cleans, replacement of coolant oil cooler due to leak. I did not have a boost gauge attached.
No data logs for Meems car, but he had 100 oct for all the runs -
91, 93, and 100 oct runs (per meem). He has stock dp and Awe exhaust. I’d love to see the intake temp, maf reading, and engine load, timing and timing pull. 91 and 100 results were posted.
I’m asking for constructive feedback and analyzing my data since not too many sc’d folks are doing logs.
At least one or two AMD sc’d car had good 1/4 mile times with the HP kit. So, it’s possible to attain low 11’s trapping 126+mph.
Haha, the last person that cares about your “numbers” is Sakimano.
My real question would be, why are you coming to AR if your concerned? Your kit was just installed and if your not happy with it, then go to AMD and make it right.
My next question would be, do you have the exact same mods as Per? Doesn’t he have a full 3" exhaust?
Logs are good for a comparison, but you can’t expet them to be exactly the same.
The only way you’ll know what the car will run is by running it at the strip. One AMD car has went low 11s with “whatever” mods because they weren’t clear about a lot of things. So, maybe your car would go low 11s in great DA, but we won’t know unless you go run it.
how do I know so much about your car? You have started about ten threads about it on 2 different audi forums and I’m as you may or may not know, a voracious reader.
Not to mention amdvivagmg trolls post about your car every 5 minutes because you had a modest Dino number.
Wow lots of information, and buried in there among loads of excuses and camouflage were the fact that the AMDvivGMG supercharger put down some very disappointing numbers.
425 whp
5% less than APR1740 kit on the same dyno
QUITE a bit less than one other supercharged car on the same dyno
Only 35 whp more than th3 basic JHM stage 1 kit on Denis car which appears to itself be down about 40 whp vs other JHM1 cars based on acceleration results.
Very interesting. I imagine the AMDvivGMG fan club will be freaking out a little and to distract from these numbers, we should be expecting either stunned silence, or an off topic attack on JHM somewhere.
Thanks for sharing the results. Can you clarify on some of the above, Meem was running 100 oct fuel for is 91, 93 and 100 oct tunes when he was on the dyno? Am I understanding that correctly?
I appreciate the input. I was going to post a full run down on AZ later, but unfortunately, goaded into responding by Saki. That guy sure knows how to get under your skin. Funny how not responding right away means you’ve vanished. Even in the business world one gets at least 24 hrs to respond.
AMD is helping to make it right. Based on logs and runs prior we knew my airflow was lower and had fueling anomalies, and would have preferred to swap out the items before the dyno. Unfortunately, I already had an appointment to do it. Getting my data log paired with the dyno run will help me analyze / diagnose later.
I came on her because this entire thread was started to bash me. I opted to respond to some allegations, but that didn’t do much good. I was going to share my results regardless of the outcome. I figured I’d also ask for input a others have in the past when their modifications may have resulted in variances.
I’ll definitely do 1/4 runs and see how my car performs.
Your first post was to quickly point out Denis’ poor 1/4 mile number and to misquote Marcus’ car’s 1/4 mile number.
Your second post was to intimate that Marcus’ car too has a problem that he will probably find out about when he returns from overseas. http://audirevolution.net/forum/index.php?topic=2334.msg70200#msg70200
You also raised lots of questions and were frankly questioning JHM’s process in tuning the supercharged cars, and were questioning why they would revise his tune etc. (who the fuck are you to question ANYTHING they do? Because you bought some brake pads there once? GTFO)
You then made your backhanded recommendation to buy the JHM tune on AZ to someone (paraphrasing) “Buy something aggressive like JHM if you have good gas/race gas” and then you quoted something you heard about JHM’s tune ignition timing request being what you thought was extreme, as if you have a fucking clue what you’re talking about. As my OP in this thread showed, you don’t. Have you gone back and edited that post now that you have been corrected and educated? nope.
Yes you will have loads of excuses etc. Donald Sterling has lots of excuses. Everyone has lots of excuses when they get caught acting like an asshole.
The whole tone of your arrival here was to cast dispersions on JHM and their supercharger program. It’s no surprise that this was right around the time that JHM decided to REJECT your requests for large discounts on their supercharger kit, and you had gone ahead with your decision to buy an AMDvivGMG kit.
Yes, 100 oct fuel for all three run. It would have been too cumbersome to have to dyno with three different octanes.
I’ll continue my progress thread on AZ, which was my original plan. It’s unfortunate as I’ve come across a lot of good feedback from several members here.
when i asked how u know so much its because u mentioned some stuff that i never posted on here or audizine,(i dont post much) like i said not that i care , but prolly ppl were talking shit about my first dyno that i ran on a soft tune soaking hot and 7600rpm?, i will dyno again soon but ppl cant spect my car to do 425 whp and up on the mustang dyno, ppl cant forget that im only running stage 1,and like most of u guys know i dont post stuff here or on AZ all the time about my SC kit, because every time we say something a war starts!lol
I told Dan I wouldn’t air out my grievances online. You make wild assumptions thinking you have all information. Are you getting some inside information with my negotiations with JHM?! That is breach of privacy if that is the case. I will take that up with them. I will use this quote from you and get to bottom of this.
There is over head on these kits that allow for negotiations. As I said, my decision was based in my interaction and not based on discounts or whatever.
How the hell are you getting all this private information about what I bought from JHM? Just a wild guess that I got brake pads from them? Who is disclosing customer information to you? Not that you would answer.
