I personally have an older 1966 Chevy 283cu in V8, bored and stroked to 301 cu in. Cam is big, intake is a Edelbrock X-C8 Dual Quad Cross Ram. It is in the making. Still trying to figure out if I should use Holleys or try something more modern. We had this running at one point, with small 650cfm Holleys, and we had low end issues, obviously.... but the top end was shooting flames out the exhaust. Hasn't seen a Dyno yet. It has a powerglide 2 speed trans, with a 1.83 first gear, and a 3.83 posi rear end. Maybe one day this monster mouse will see the streets.
I just bought a Daza Ttrs mk3 (8s I believe still learning the platform) with TE700 hybrid already installed, I'm stoked to get it home. I'm watching all your videos to see what I can learn. Good content bro!
Ya, California and the Lower Mainland, Vancouver, BC, Canada have some of the poorest quality of fuel in North America. It has improved over the past year, but still is subpar to most other 93 octane fuels found in other parts of North America
@@VancityAudi I wonder how the pump 93 performs compared to the Petro 94 we have here in Ontario. I wish we had E85 but unfortunately it's just not available in my area
Awesome video as usual. Does Andrew's car have a boost leak in the IC piping? I noticed at 10:26 some air was coming out the front of the car. It reminded me of how air looks when it rapidly de-pressurizes. Maybe this explains the lower-than-expected numbers on map 2.
Seems like Unitronics Stage 1+ is the best bang for buck. Simple bolt ons with 93 octane pushing 450whp give or take. Sounds good to me! Would love to see how the 2023 and up 8Y do once unitronic comes out with tunes for them.
I always recommend people go with a Unitronic Stage 1+ E85 ECU tune paired with a Unitronic Stage 2 TCU tune for the ultimate daily driven vehicle that won't break the bank. Every bolt on except for a downpipe and you're movin'!
Just another perfect example of why I always run a low ethanol blend on my pump gas tunes in all of my cars. Our local fuel isn't the greatest and I'm leaving a ton of power on the table by not blending.
Hi Adam, just a question, these DQ500 boxes are 7 speed...why not dyno it in 5th gear? i have been at various local dynos myself and i can confirm with 5th gear pulls (more load) that i see better power figures (especially torque)...i saw up to 50nm more on some cars. great videos as always. cheers
Great video Adam! Current b8.5 sq5 owner here and you brought up something here I never considered. I'm currently IE dual pulley with the throttle body on 91 octane. Could I blend e85 to make e20 or e15 or so and keep running the same 91 octane file without needing to upgrade the fuel pump? I know to run the e40 file you need a fuel pump but I never considered running a pump gas tune with a lesser e blend
@@VancityAudi Thanks! I watched that and basically all your other b8 videos. It looks like you were running e20-e30 on 91 93 and even e30 tunes without a fuel pump up until dual pulley. I guess at dual pulley the duty cycle was too high even on a 91 tune so you had to do the fuel pump upgrade. Looks like I’ll be sticking to pump gas only
@Fred Edwards looks like you didn't quite understand what I tried to explain in those videos. Your stock HPFP should easily be able to handle an E20 blend at a dual pulley power level. You can even run the 93 octane tune while using 91 octane pump gas and blending in additional ethanol until you have an E20 mix. If you are ever unsure, just log your car, and you'll be able to see how much fueling headroom you actually have.
Considering each result was accomplished on different cars, utilizing different hardware, I didn't think that would be very important. On the same car, using all the same hardware but with different software, I could see the importance.
No need to apologize about anything. It's fun to see the differences in stages with different fuel, and showing yet again what a little corn gas can do for ya. Just further cements to me that I'm staying Stage 1+ E85 until I decide to go TTE700 on stock engine.
I like DS1 because the flex fuel. And fail safe. I’m hopping that Unitronic some day next year release the uniflex. Is too expensive go to DS1 and retune everything!
7:10 is this on a stock block for the TTE777 or is this a built motor? I tried to go through the comments to find out but didn’t see anything. Apologize in advance if this was already answered. Thanks for the awesome content!
@@danielmchugh8231 no problemo. I made sure that all the participants said what they had in terms of performance mods. If they didn't mention it, it wasn't done to their cars.
What do you attribute the stage 2 93 unitronic car having less power than the stage 1 93 car?Thinking maybe his fuel wasn't as good.Would of liked to see if blending some ethanol to about E20 would have helped his numbers the way it did the Stage 3 car. Guessing he didn't have an ethanol sensor or you probably would have.Great video as im getting ready to go stage 2 E85 unitronic.
Yes, I'm assuming the same thing would happen with the Stage 2 - 93 car as the Stage 3 - 93 car. Not nearly as much of a gain as the Stage 3 car, but still noticeable. Our fuel is really lackluster here, and without adding additional ethanol, the 93 octane tuned cars aren't making anywhere near what they should for power. No, the Stage 2 car did not have an E content gauge, and he had no ethanol with him.
Firstly another great video Adam 👏 if you don’t mind me asking are you sponsored by unitronics? If not have you thought about trying a DS1 tune. Reason why I asking is that you have been sitting on the fence for the last year waiting for a tune from unitronic.
I've explained this quite a few times to many people over the past year so here we go again. I am looking to continue my sponsorship with Unitronic because I trust them and for no other reason. Their software and hardware have always worked extremely well in my RS3. I have lost 2 motors in the past and I really don't want to lose a 3rd. I have faith in Unitronic's calibrations and have had amazing performance out of my RS3. I'd like to continue doing that. I know of far too many people that have switched to DS1 tuning and have had their motors blow. I'm not saying that will be the case for certain, but I'd have to find a calibrator that I trust in to tune my car and as of today, I trust no one more than the guys at Unitronic to provide a calibration for my car. Secondly, I built this channel off of running OTS tuning solutions in all of my cars. The goal has always been to run the same software as everyone else and to prove just how effective it can be when the car is dialed in. By going with a custom tune that isn't the same software as everyone else is using and defeats the purpose of my channel. It will be catered to my car only. That isn't what I'm trying to show everyone. One day I will be forced to go custom and I'm looking forward to that day, but for now I'd prefer to showcase OTS tunes and what they are capable of, rather than going custom. I hope that provides a clear explanation of why I'm riding this out and sticking with Unitronic.
@@VancityAudi DS1 tuning and blown motor before or after built motor? Just curious because my motor stock went bang running Unitronic stage 2 e85 and I'm not necessarily blaming their file but I also didn't choose them for my 855 build either
@OnlyGaps_DAZA I can completely understand that. If my motor blew up using Unitronic, I'd have my concerns as well. Blown turbos and blown motors is what I've heard of using the 855 on DS1. Sadly I don't know whether the motors were built or not.
The torque numbers on that stage 2 e85 setup are pretty high. Are the rods safe? I was under the impression that anything a touch over 500 is rod bending territory.
Tc turbo is soo much bettee than any TTE model，my tte855 is blew only 3000km after installed for no reason, only 98ron and 2.1bar boost:( . Now I’m using a TC 870XT ,E70 and 2.7bar boost make me 670whp on mainline AWD dyno
Im also tuned by Darin on DS1 E85 however stock turbo. 9800cc port injectors - stock downpipe - I'm making roughly 565 wheel horsepower on a DynoJet. Can't remember the DA or temperature when I did the runs but that should give some rough idea of a comparison on what that setup looks like
Sadly, that doesn't provide an accurate comparison at all. Dynos read differently depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to: the ambient temperature, the density altitude, the quality of fuel, the hardware used, the brand of dyno, uncorrected vs corrected numbers, FWD vs AWD and so on. That's why I always preach to stop comparing dyno numbers from one car in one part of the world to another.
