DOUG @ ECS

What a day on the dyno! Huge learning curve for me, and those who have helped me threw this process made the time it took to tune this car, one day so far, well I simply cannot thank you enough.

So to start with we have had no problems holding fuel thus far, the only reason why the power fell off up top is because I need to change the spark plugs. I am very confident that when completed this car will make over 600 rwhp on pump gas. When I say this vehicle is stock, I meant spark plugs too... which is not making it very happy. Expected, but I needed to learn and see what happens "if", I have no problem admitting that I needed to learn along this process as I went. I will address this either tomorrow or Monday when I get the plugs I'm looking for, and post up the final results at that time, but this is very promising to me, and a lot of the fear I had lingering about tuning these DI engines is fading away now.

More importantly, notice the TQ our supercharger kit makes over other kits, this is what ECS has always been about. TQ wins street races, TQ makes a street car "fast". Too much tq makes you sit and spin, but the right amount will have you walking away from your buddy with the product "X" supercharger kit every time.

Sorry for the lame picture of the graph's, our office is basically shut down for the weekend now, including the scanner and so on. And yes I will ABSOLUTELY post a full video when I get the plugs swapped and go back on the dyno, but I'm here by myself now and couldn't do both. Well I guess I could have used a tripod, but I didn't bother, sorry. Hopefully our previous records and overall reputation of backing up our dyno sheets with time slips will suffice that this is completely legit.

Enjoy guys, and have an excellent weekend!

Oh btw, high 7's on the boost at peak.

Doug...is that otherwise stock?
If so...that's impressive with only 7 psi.

DOUG @ ECS

100% stock, right down to the spark plugs. Hence the problem I ran into up top. Like I said though, I needed to learn during this process, and now my head is swimming.

No cam, nothing other then the ECS supercharger kit and tuning.

Thank you, I'm very happy with how the C7 kit has come out so far, but most of the tuning credit cannot be taken by me. We are very fortunate to have long time friends in the industry who helped me there.

Nice work

Get home and get a brew

Very nice.
IMO, a ~575-600 rwhp A6 C7 would be a badass car...especially with the stock, stealth exhaust.

I agree. A6 with 600 should got 10.7s@130

Snorman

It'll go a lot faster than that.

Frans96ss

Prob 9.7 haha... Maybe not that fast but it very well may.

Very nice !! I'm looking to purchase a C7 pretty soon and was thinking NA. BUT... What I'm seeing here may make me change my mind. This IS pretty crazy. This vett sorted out is or should be a solid 10.4 car with auto. Very impressive

Snorman

I'm thinking ~10.2's in the low-130's with this blower setup and the A6 will probably need a set of DR's.
Stock, IMO the A6 will handle another 40-50 rwhp on the stock Michelins. But not another ~180 rwhp.

That's a damn good start. Nice!

600whp on an otherwise stock car = complete win.

The best part about this is that install time is short, less complex, more straightforward without having to mess around with fuel pumps and injectors that I've done in the past.

I could install a system in about 6 hrs with the way this system is designed. No labor cost for me. Turn it into a 680hp (crank hp) beast with ease, and drive it every day for the many many years I plan to own the car.

I'm liking this. A lot.

Would it make sense to add headers? I would imagine another 30-40 whp with some ARH, no?

londonk

Yeah … this is my car that they are doing i was told that the headers they are going to be using are pfadt headers on the car so i would think that it would pick up 20 or so

DOUG @ ECS

We are going to use the ARH's Chris, given the results.

Snorman

It's the opposite. Headers can make a very nice improvement on a supercharged car. More effectively relieving cylinder pressure is going to make more power. I wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up ~40-50 hp (or more) based on what we've seen from ARH's on stock/NA cars.

Doug ,
Great work so far. I have a question for us M7 Z51 cars. I read your post about having issues launching the car at the track.. I know you said you tried everything and nothing really worked. Can you explain what you encountered and do you think there is a way around that.Would hate to buy drag pack only to have the car mess with the 60ft times.

I know on the Auto they have managed 1.40s.. curious on the M7s

Reason i am asking you is b/c ECS is really into 1/4 times vs dyno numbers which i respect that vs numbers.

10-7 OD

Great work. Hope to see the top end rollover resolved down the road. Keep up the R&D.
