    I had my 2012 Regal GS on the dyno and it put down 221hp to the wheels stock... After a K&N drop in filter and Borla exhaust I had it put back on the dyno and it put down 254HP... I cant wait to get the downpipe, intercooler and dyno tuned for the max HP out of the car... The stock turbo is not bad and a has alot of potential

    Its really the tune that adds the most power. A tune alone adds 30 wheel hoursepower. just the intake with no tune adds about 11 whp more noise if anything. its a little over 70 whp gain with intake and downpipe package with a tune. with out a tune your looking at 20-25 whp. all this depends what kind of fuel your running 91-93 octane (premium) or e85 = 110 octane.

    • @jmrtinez69
      @jmrtinez69  10 лет назад

      Terry Mccleskey that's what originally came in the verano. Also when adding a open air intake to the regal 2.0 liter turbo with no tunning. It only added 4 whp. The computer see the extra air flow and pulls timing from motor. It does this to lower your boost. So to add any kind of HP to these motors you have to tune it to add timing and raise the boost.

      In the newer cars like 2011 and newer. The have a separate computer from the transmission and motor. Most newer cars have 3 -4 computers that are tuned separately with tuner software like hp tuner, diablo, trifecta etc. So I can not raise shift points, max revs or even torque like up.

    • @jmrtinez69

      The turbo builds pressure and when you let off the throttle the build up pressure is then rerouted to the intake. By changing the intake to open you are able to hear the factory blowoff.

    since you deleted a o2 did the trifecta tune fix the would be code or did it not throw one since you kept the other?

    • @jmrtinez69
      @jmrtinez69  7 лет назад

      jhys88 the car was tuned to ignore the o2 sensor after the cat convertor. so it did not throw a code.

    • @jhys88
      @jhys88 7 лет назад

      jmrtinez69 does that have to be requested special when you ordered the tune from them or did it do it automatically? I'm new to this. I actually just put a deposit down on a '13 premium 1 turbo with a 6 speed.

    • @jmrtinez69

      jhys88 Great question. Both first zzp did not have aces to computer so they worked with Vince at Trifecta. Once HP Tuner supported this platform I was able to go through zzp.

    Totally wrong...you'll get about 25-30 horsepower switching to a Borla exhaust...and that"air intake"is a waste of money..unless you need to delete the air box for turbo mod room, todays cars flow airas well as just about any air intake.should have left it and put your $$ into a turbo upgrade...

      Your car must have been retarding the timing cause no exhaust gives that much power.

    • @jmrtinez69
      @jmrtinez69  9 лет назад +1

      Craig Cundiff yes unless you have a carberated car and a really restricted exhaust. You might see those gains, might. But with newer cars like 2007 and newer especially with turbo/superchargers your cars computer (cpu) will pull timing when it sees extra airflow. So by just adding an open intake or a less restricted exhaust with out tuning your cpu. You will have vary little gains. Like maybe 5 whp. If you say it's anymore, I would love to see the dyno chart to prove it.
