Turbo Technics S280 Turbo Kit Dyno, Virtual Dyno, and Datalog Thread

Is it steep? I’ve seen plenty of charts showing peak torque around the same RPM...he had it up to 315tq initially but it started to lean out so he let off and backed things down. I beat the hell out of it on the drive home and had no issues or codes, and the power comes on really smooth - was barely breaking traction in 2nd with Indy 500 tires.
My tuner is Freektune who has done most of the ecoboost cars in my area including an S280 Fiesta and a whoosh hybrid Fiesta so I trust he isn’t pushing the car too hard, like I said it’s only hitting ~25psi and tapering down. I’ll definitely keep an eye on things though, I don’t know much about tuning so I guess I’m not sure what my torque tables being off would mean lol. All I know is the car makes good power, feels great, and wasn’t pulling timing during repeated WOT pulls.

My charts x-axis also goes from like 1.5k to 7.5k, with some dead space on each side, so things are going to look a bit more smushed (and in turn steeper) than everyone else’s v-dynos that start at 2.5k and stop around 7k. I think the formatting difference is just playing tricks on you, but again I’ll keep an eye out for issues.
I know my tuner will fix anything that pops up, like I said he does most if not all the ecoboost cars in the area and has been tuning Mazda Speed3s for a long time before that so I trust he knows what he’s doing! And he wouldn’t want a poorly tuned car on the streets giving him a bad rap. I appreciate your input and concern though cause like I said I really don’t know much when it comes to tuning!

I am not putting all of it on my tuner. We were having some issues with my dyno not loading the car properly thus messing up the logs. Also had some traction issues early on because of worn out tires. After I sorted out the dyno test and then a few street runs after that. So far I'm pretty happy with it. I'm gonna put it back on the dyno in a couple of weeks and see what it looks like.
For some reason my car wouldn't hit 27psi on the dyno and does just fine on the street. Its quite weird.

After several 4th Gear pulls that do not show the behavior notred above between 3-4k RPM, I'm certain this is tire spin. On warm days when the tires are operating in a better temp range, 3rd gear pulls don't show this either. When it happens on cold/cool days, it feels like tire spin. The car is chirping 4th gear when logging in 3rd and quick-shifting to 4th... I've moved to the next tune revision, making ~360 whp with warm (83F) ambient. At these temps, the tires stick and the behavior is also absent in 3rd gear.
That is impressive to say the least! ![[twothumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_twothumbs.gif "Two Thumbs [twothumb]")
Bigger injectors/HPFP upgrade and what, E50??
Also, since you are on here and hopefully responding to posts;
Yes, a little bit![[offtopic]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_offtopic.gif "Off Topic [offtopic]")
but do you have any problems tuning either factory snails, or S280s (or whatever) when the customer has Shell V-Power 93 in the tank?
HAVE you actually tuned FiSTs when the customer has told you that's the fuel that they use, and if so, has it been a detriment to the tuning process?
Just curious.
Thanks in advance.
