Solo dyno runs today at AU Tuning. BK Motorsports Tuning Box dyno testing



This morning I got ready and took my sons with me to get the R dyno tested at AU Tuning.

I had 3 runs done:

baseline using the Tuning Box relay
medium settings (yellow light over P) no red or green lights at + and -
max settings (red light over P) max red lights over + light

this video explains the modes:





Dyno sheet from today's BK Motorsports Tuning Box runs. stock baseline is 260whp 271tq and with the box set to 'max' it put down 294whp 304tq. The only bolt on is Apr intake. I used pump 91 octane So Cal gas. It was 59 degrees this morning.

BK Tuning Box piggy back install - round 2

I had an wiring harness issue that caused a CEL. BK sent me a harness right away but I was busy with other mods, cars, family etc.

It was a nice summer like day in So Cal today that allowed me to spend some time to get it installed. I'm happy to say no check engine lights.

I'm going to have the R dynoed at the same place where I had the JB1 tested. This time I should be easily able to get a baseline due to just swapping that little interface instead in the car.

Stay "tuned" all for Saturday, February 13th!!!

I'm a tune tester!!!!

I'm going to be testing a piggy back tuner called TuningBox on my R soon. It'll be dynoed on the same dyno as the JB1 I have. I'm curious on my butt dyno results and overall driveability. Stay "tuned" pun intended.

So far it appears that the TuningBox is a multi-platform type of item meaning it can fit several cars depending on the configuration. 

There are 3 specific plugs for the piggyback which reminds me of the Neuspeed product.

check out the unboxing video for details:

They'll be more videos, dyno charts, etc.

Again..stay tuned.
