How much air are you flowing

[Violater101]

For those of you with the capability to see how much air your flowing, what is it. I was just curious. I believe the Green is rated at 50lbs/min. Obviously, you won't be seeing that unless you have a fully ported head, sheet metal intake etc etc. According to DSMLink, i'm seeing around 38lbs/min. Thats on 18-19lbs of boost and pump gas. I was just wondering if that is around normal. I have 264/272 cams, 1g TB ported to match intake, ported 2g exh man. How much, if any, airflow would I be losing with only a 2.5" dp/testpipe. I just listed some of my mods ..the rest can be seen on my profile.

Thanks,

We've discussed this before but the L2R is rated at 54lbs per minute and I hit 44.2lbs/min at 25lbs of boost. I had a boost leak too

 

[Violater101]

Perhaps, but I had some other questions in there also. How much is my 2.5" dp hurting my flow? Obviously, the more boost I run, in theory I should be flowing more air with my turbo.

Forgot I also have a substantial boost leak that I'll be fixing this week and I'm shifting around 7k rpms. If I can get the airflow up to atleast 43 lbs/min, I would be happy. I'm not sure what I should be flowing with a stock head and intake manifold.

Noone else? Anyone Anyone?

I can't tell you any numbers but the 2.5 dp and tp are hurting your performance. Sorry if that's too general

 

[Violater101]

Well, I know it will somewhat hurt boost control, but not sure how much performance it will hurt. I don't think it will affect airflow lbs/min that much. I can hold 19lbs of boost rock solid all the way to redline and no creep or spike

Thanks though,

I flow like 32 lbs/min on a 14B with the stock dp @ 16 psi

 

[candela]

ooo thats like ~464cfm... not bad for a 14b=)

 

[Violater101]

1g head helps

 

[nine5raptor]

stock dp and 1G o2 housing (frozen to turbo) both hurt and 2G head

Will most ems give you flow numbers. I'm interested to see what kind of numbers I can put out.

 

[nine5raptor]

I get mine off of the pocketlogger.

 

[red clipse]

So a simple datalogger system will give you the flow numbers. I don't have my ems hooked up yet, that's why I was asking. Thanks.

 

[nine5raptor]

amongst other things, yes.

Only 2g's are capable of giving you numbers like that (although perhaps a 1g with the AEM EMS can?).

Us 1g guys are stuck using stupid things like Karmen Hz....

I wish I had something to compare with at similiar levels of boost rpms etc ..oh well.
