ECS Pump Gas Tune Completed

aka Reckless · 05-25-2017, 03:02 PM

Been waiting for some free time to get on the dyno. We managed to get the pump gas tune done today though (93). This is the base ECS kit and it made 8 pounds of boost with:

VR Stage 2 cam
ARH Long tubes (no cats)
Stock NPP
LT4 High Side pump and LT4 Injectors
Stock tank pump

The comparison dyno graph is with cam, headers, and E85 (normally aspirated). The ECS kit installed very nicely with really no trouble. Next will be the E85 test and see where the fueling quits.

Nice!

ECS is vortech based right? What head unit?

Very solid numbers! Congrats

That is correct. The head unit is actually Paxton 1500. I believe Paxton and Vortech are combined now.

Did the cam have an increased fuel lobe?

Wow nice gains! Did you guys just stop the pull at 6k? Wanted to see how it looked on a pull all the way out.

Excellent results. Low pressure pump in the tank and you'd really be able to push it a bit further. Heard it's cheap and fairly easy. It's got me wondering what the flow difference would be between you going catless and me ordering hiflow cats.

I have the ZL1 pump next to my desk. We wanted to see what the limits were with the stock low side. Trial and error. Will try E85 with the current setup and see where it quits. It has been our experience that the high side is the limitation. We have a few experiments in the works such as an external pump to supplement to see if the high side will keep up. Other options are also being considered. I'm guessing I may end up with Alky or port injection at some point.

By the way this head unit is super quiet even with just a turbo-guard on it.

DenverTaco07 · 05-26-2017, 10:51 AM

what's a turbo guard?

Hot damn man. Can't wait to see what it does with more octane/ethanol and more boost. I have been hoping to see what someone can do with one of the "smaller" head units on an maxed out A8 and you have the drop in pistons I was going to use as well.

So the N/A numbers were in 5th?

I clarified with Mike. The NA numbers were in 6th gear (I did those pulls), but he said he pulled in 5th under boost. He lifted early because the car needs a breather added. Crankcase pressure is pushing oil out the rear seal. He didn't want to go any further.
