Could be. But i've done several other S4's with RS4 injectors, and they all ran out of fuel at 18 psi, a few with new fuel pumps (including 044)
Well, I've tuned several RS4's and none of them ran out of fuel at 18 psi, unless you ran something like 10.5 AFR.
I run about 11.8-11.7 AFR on them to redline and there is enough room to enrich to 11.1-11.3, as that is what I run in BTS. 19-20 psi.
Road pull with ECUxPlot says around 400. Shrug. I'm actually uninterested in absolute numbers; I'm only comparing it with other cars on the same dyno. Honestly, I'm not here to say my car is fast. Just observing that rs4 injectors aren't as big as, well, bigger injectors. Go figure.
My point is just that something is wrong with that number. Either it was made in a low gear, the dyno had incorrect loading or there was overcorrection for some reason.
I've mapped enough 2.7T that I know they don't make that power at 5-12 timing and boost.
My RS4 runs 14-25 timing at 1.7 taper 1.5 and I would not rate my car much over 500 crank... Then again, I have up to 550cc of pure meth going into the engine (50/50 mix and 1100cc total flow.)
IDC stable at 95% and no EGT issues.
I am not trying to have a dig at you, I am all for people making power, it's just to me there is something wrong with that graph, and I don't like you saying that a stock RS4 is "weak" when clearly there was something wrong with fuel delivery on that car...
