all right guys today we're tuning this pontiac solstice it is a rp motorsports turbo setup on
the car uh really low boost like five pounds nothing too crazy i'm not sure what to expect
out of her for power numbers but we're gonna jump into it and see what we can make
all right guys here's this pontiac solstice
i said it's got rp motorsports sing you know turbo chargers kit on it
this is the only uh i've never tuned one of these eco attack engines before
so i'm gonna have to learn a little bit about it obviously i'm familiar with the gm ecu stuff
yeah neat little car i always like these the saturn skies they're they're kind of cool it
looks like a good time like a like a gm's version of the miata i guess um plus with that engine
in there those things make some power uh this thing the goal with this really isn't to make
a horsepower number we're more just looking for uh just good drivability it's only makes
five pounds or so nothing serious just obviously pump gas thing so yeah i'm gonna dive into this
see if we can sort out some of the drivability issues and what kind of power we can make with it
all right guys real quick before i show you what this thing made i wanted to show you the
timing map that was in this previously so this is the timing map that was in it i just i can't
i can't just kind of i can't even put in the words how frustrated it is to see that somebody made a
timing map like this and sent it out with a job i have no idea what they were thinking i don't know
what happened here i just don't i don't know anyway it's horrible here's what's in it now
that's what it did look like something like that and yeah that's what was in it before pretty bad
deal no wonder the thing didn't run well all right uh also the other thing i wanted to show you quick
was the ve map that was in it check this guy out it's a real gem so that was the ve map
that was in the car i i honestly don't know how it rained and drove as good as it did so but anyway
um yeah check it out that's uh i just wanted to show you guys this quick before i show you
the what we made with it so yeah here we go okay we made 228 foot pounds of torque 197 horsepower
which all in all isn't too bad it's uh five pounds of boost on the spike right at the hit
and then it pretty much falls the rest of the rpm range all the way down to like two pounds two and
a half pounds up top 122 kpa um so yeah it'd be nice to fix that i put a ball and spring style
controller in it i think that would sort that out as you saw from the screen record there of the ve
maps and the timing maps that were in this thing it really needed some tuning help when it got here
you would if you put it in the wrong part of the timing map it was almost acted like it had
an anti-lag situation going on and it basically did their response to the timing map that would
be like it would be 10 13 degrees at one cell and the cell right next to it would be negative three
i don't know what the deal was with that um but uh yeah the tune was pretty rough shape
so um it's all good running good now so be nice to turn the boost up in this thing but that isn't the
goal here is just to pep the car up a little bit so it's a little more fun to drive and
so that's it we're gonna send it on its way and if they want to make more later we can do that
so you
