Hey guys I just wanted to share my results with you, there was a decent thread that lasted a while about a custom machined housing for a HX52. Only a few days after we got it running we hit the dyno. Boostdriven beat me by 40 horse, man, that guy can build a car! he got 660 and I got 620. I'm super happy with our results and numbers.
Alex's HX52 is in a custom machine housing too, but his is a bit bigger and its twin scroll with a quick spool valve, my HX52 is stuffed in a even smaller housing thats just single throat/scroll. Pretty close in spool time. We have basically the exact same set up, with almost identacle parts but the main differance that seperated us by 40 horse was his cylinder head he hand ported, mine is not, his "no-cat-back" exhaust is 3.5", mine is 3", he has Kelford cams, I have Brian Crower.
So Alex got me by 40 horse but i had a awesome experience today, it was so satisfying to break into the 600 horsepower club! And this was done on a heart breaker dyno, with an official Mustang Dyno rep there teaching proper calibration technuiqes. The cool thing was is that the rep posted my car's first pull on there facebook page. AWESOME. if you go to MustangDyno facebook page you will see expensive GTR's and exotics and then my lil 95 DSM... I think its cool, maybe i can get a link posted in here for easy veiwing pleasure? I'll try.
Any who, heres some pictures and the basic info, 2.0 engine, T3 frame direct bolt up HX52 turbo, 36-37psi boost, 23* timing up top, 1150 injectors (peak was %88 duty cycle), AFR was well with in the safe zone, could of got more agressive there but didnt, had good timing with no knock, agin, could of got more agressive but didnt want to get greedy.
