hitting that artificial rev limiter eh?

damn gm crap

lol

hit it and quit it > foreplay

spray it!

 

nah not the limiter... just would drop off boost the second it got spooled. As I said I really think the waste gate spring was is too light. See if I can pick up a 15lb spring for now til I get the Tial

 

there is but it is a very tiny difference.

 

the fine line between greatness, and craziness is insanity

write that down

 

nice vids man. looks like u got a well established team helping with the build. great base numbers man. that **** hauls some ass. nrg does a lot of good work.

 

bcp ftw

 

So how is the fueling? Still getting rich/lean spikes? IDCs?

 

Is there any way you could get the exhaust manifolds built with the turbo flange rotated down a bit for more firewall clearence.

 

Paul, great numbers so far man. Car sounds great.

Hey, do you have a boost leak tester? If not you should make one. It's pretty cheap to do, and they are awsome at finding leaks you didn't even know were there! Trust me the Integra benefitted greatly from it.

Also, what are you using for a boost controller? That's most likely your issue, not the spring inside the wastegate.

 

Wow... hope all turns out well, keep us posted.

 

exactly what alpha jaguar said, its just like the twinscrew was in theory gonna make more hp on lower boost.. its all about air flow, not restriction.


nice numbers though, its only 30 whp higher then what u put out on your heaton all maxed out, but has way more potential

just make sure u do internal and a clutch already haha.

 

Your kidding right . Comparing 18 psi on that tiny little maxed out dual scroll with a way safe factory tune with stock sized cold and hot pipes and exhaust

 

True that man. I drove a Solstice GXP a couple weeks ago, and I can say that the tune is way safe for sure. There is plenty more to be had out of it with some tuning, as there is indeed a lot more to be had out of Paul's setup.

 

No I am not kidding. The LNF has VVT and SIDI which gives it an advantage of the LSJ.

But you have some good points. I didn't realize the LNF was so choked off.

BTW congrats on the Turbo Cobalt Paul.. You are just 7 hp north my mine on nitrous. Wonder who's would win on the drag strip.

 

Put it this way the dyno he put out 296 on i put out 262 215tq. The dyno we were on today I put out 225whp 215 tq he out out 326whp 293 tq.........

 

[QUOTE=06blackg85ss;1588771]I am still completely stock internal's wise. NEw motor is going to be build by NRG, ported head, 272 cams, GT3076, and a few other goodies. Just gotta get the cash together for that now.

oh yeah and a friend of mine (AHA automotive) is going to help me do the fuel system very soon and offer it as a kit. So please people let me know who'd be interested in picking one up.[/QUOTE]

me!!!

 

thanks guys.
As for the boost controller I have a turbosmart MBC, which I'll also be swapping out soon. Car still goes lean up top for some reason, I am starting to think is is definitely the fuel system and not the clutch (which wasn't slipping btw, it was tire spin). Also as Darksun said, this dyno everyone averaged 30whp lower than the other shop we dyno at. so If I dyno'd there I'd probably would have been at 355+whp (which is where all my last dyno's were)
Now to the fuel system. I just need to get the cash together to buy all the necassary parts. Might just modify the stock fuel rail and use that with the return setup and new high pressure pump. Probably just end up going with an in tank walbro, since we want to make this as easy a swap for everyone. I really wanted to run the aeromotive A1000 pump and matching regulator, but that would require some significant modification to the fuel tank, which I know most people doing this work, won't be able to do in their backyard.
well more updates to come, boost leak testing friday night to chase down where I"m losing all my boost.

 

Going that same route. Already have an Aeromotive A1000-6 regulator and Walbro GSS342 255 LPH fuel pump. Waiting for a call from the mechanic. Doing return-style fuel system.

 

nice man, that's basically the same setup I'll be using

 

Congrats on your success thus far Paul!

 

I paid locally, $155 for the regulator, $120 for fuel pump and $20 for fuel gauge.

 

Going to the track on saturday, vids will be posted

 

cant wait to see. good luck paul.

 

The flange is rotated down, btwn the coolant pipe, block, tranny mount, and fire wall. there is zero room in either direction with this setup

 

what if the turbo was located not on the manifold but a little further down, where we have more room?

BTW, beat my second 5.7 GTO from a 40 punch fri. Yah for me...
