Who me?

My car couldn't hang with you guys. You'd blow me out the water. 8-( But maybe after I do this throttle body coolant bypass i'll be able to lol

 

No, Doward....

Not race bro, hang out w/us. We spend more time talking than racing over at e-town, and whatever racing we do do, it's against the Imports (some of them are freaking fast too).

 

back from the dead

rob u free this week? i need a driver so i can tune the car.

i know u know how well the car pulled at 9psi and again at 12 psi or whatever we tested at briefly that one day on the backstreets by the shop lol,

so lets just say i am now at more then dbl 12#'s of boost

infact im approaching hubber boost lol

 

are you saying your running >24 psi for boost?! man that turbo really can take a beating! I can't wait until I get mine

 

sort of. i took another turbo and upgraded the coldside wheel/housing

 

I took today off, and I'll be free in a little while. If you wanna take a ride later on call me and lemme know, as I could use the break after working all morning on the new project. However, I only have few hours though, not an all nighter lol....

 

very nice, thats a lot of pressure. I'm pretty sure you'll get deep 12s with that much boost, at least. how's the turbo lag with that much boost?

 

rob not gonna be today, ill give ya a call in a lil bit.i need a new boost gauge mine only reads to 25 psi i gota see if paul has one that reads to 30 or 35

chevy not much more lag at all spool up used to be instant on the street now i have minimal lag.

its hard to explain how fast it used to spool but it was almost to fast.it usually resulted in wheel spin leaving from a red light with a tiny bit of throttle.since im running the same side and just a larger compressor wheel spoolup was not affected much at all

deep 12's was a sure thing on the small comprssor wheel at 12-14 psi this should take me well beyond if the shortblock stays together anyway

 

I might be going to Paul's house in a little while myself, as he never got back to me about a window installation job that I brought to his attention. The rest of the week is pretty much shot for me, as I'll be in New York. But anyways, yeah, I'm pretty sure Paul has a gauge available to use, he only has about fifteen of them sitting on the damn work bench....

 

lol call me back fawker :P

 

sounds like your going for an all out run just to see how far you can take it. if you don't have a lot of lag it must not be as much air volume as I thought.
so what times are you thinking? 10s? be sure to get a video and post it up!

 

its a 67mm compressor wheel also known as a to4r/t04z

the reason i dont lag is cause of the small ar on the ex side,rob can tell u how fast it spooled up witht he 52mm coldside ont he turbo.

we actually just ran out and i got a 35 psi boost gauge to install tommorow,only thing thats left is i need to go pick a few gallons of methanol and were good to start doing some serious testing

 

 

you run methanol?! thats awesome!

 

alky injection. the cars not running on straight meth.
running around 20% meth

 

 

how do you tune for methanol injection? wouldn't you try and put less fuel in to compensate?
if your turbo is spooling that fast I wonder if you could get it to run a really big turbo so it won't spin so bad off the line. like out of a diesel truck.

 

i run a high stall converter thats part of the reason it spool lightning fast

i could prolly run upto a t4 1.0x housing and be fine, it would actually increase my hp in the high rpms prolly 20-30 hp

 

^ I'm home today dude, if you wanna take a ride to the shop and get some things done, lemme know. I'm prolly going back to Paul's today as well. Call me when your ready....

 

hey I got a quick question. why do we run a heated O2 sensor at the turbo? I know why we run a heated O2 sensor, but why there and not at the stock location?

 

lool and of course it decided to snow today

 

sort of depends on how much methanol ur running, when my methanol injection comes on i pull about 7% of the fuel out of the motor the more meth i spray the more fuel i take out
