Since making a decent power figure on the dyno day, I never had enough time to do further power runs in the car and map it for more power.
Over the past couple of days I have had the car out doing exactly that. I managed to safely increase the boost pressure to 1.4 Bar and it is starting to feel very punchy on the road, with a nice flat wave or torque punching you into the seat.
I want to take my time and increase the boost slowly, by driving data logging and making small increases to fueling.
All of the safety features have been working fantastic. The KS4 has let me keep an eye on the knock level in via the dash board, and only once, I have hit the MAP limit when increasing the boost. This was only due to me increasing the waste gate duty cycle slightly too much before a power run.
Im back to work soon and don't really have the time to tinker much more with the car, but the plan is to increase the boost pressure to 1.6 Bar and run it pretty rich to give a good safety factor for the semi-closed deck engine. (Until I get the time/money to build a closed deck block!)
