its good power.

what wastegate spring are you using? Your loosing a lot of boost, might be time for a good electronic boost controller, something you can set duty cycle on as well as target boost per/rpm.

also, hopefully your using a good external wastegate with atleast a 14lb spring (no more than double spring if you want it to hold half decently), even a 22lb spring would be better.

I ran a s258 on a stock engine at about 29lbs but it crept to 32lbs, it was a nasty turbo.

Nice power!

I'd say it's DSM turbine and internal gate by his profile. Tha would also explain the drop in boost as it rev's out.

very nice!

BTW is this a extended tip one?

Good numbers!
I'd try and do something about the boost dropoff as said.

How can you guys tell the boost is slowly dropping? Is it just the small negative slope in the graph?

Wow! Fantastic numbers. That thing is a torque monster! You're definitely gonna need that Shep stage 3.

Yes. On the bottom graph is the boost 'curve' if you will, notice it slowly drops after reaching peak boost around 4500rpm. The top graph is hp/tq, the middle is afr btw. IMO the top graph (hp/tq) drops off after ~6300 due to both the loss of boost and the dsm turbine housing. By swapping to a t3 set up his power would probably continue to rise until his cam/im began to limit him. Just my .02 cents.

yes, it is ETT

NICE! Cant wait to see what mine does. I have the 362 turbine wheel on mine though, so should be a tad more top end with a little loss on spool.

you shouldn't be losing that kind of power up top. These turbos don't choke out. I did a similar setup on an EVO and hit 502whp/503wtq and it was SOLID!

Enjoy your power!!

Mitsu housing fail. Thats why hes choking out.

that'll do it. That turbo needs a T3 .70ar V Band Housing. That is AWESOME power on a bolt on housing, though!

Yeah, I'm quite impressed with the power it's making for sure! I've always talked about having work done to the car when I first got it with friends and you know how that goes, lots of times it's all talk. I upgraded the fuel system beyond what I needed it in hopes of swapping to a less restrictive set-up in the future. That's the result of not fully researching before buying...... Now I'll have to invest in suspension, tires, and brakes!!! Thanks for all the input guys!

Great setup, Any more info on it?

I hope to achieve similar results on my HX35 bolton

what cams are you running? I run the borgwarner s259 with bolt on housing and i run hks 264 cams and your dyno is almost identical to mine

I'm running the FP4 cams. I'm kinda wishing I would have went with a garrett set-up though.

Nonetheless very nice power curve

keltalon I can't remember are you 2.3 or 2.0?

Mine has no problems holding boost to redline...are you running an external gate? It doesn't mention anything in your profile.

My engine is 2.0

Yes it's externally gated
