    Hy35 vs fp3052 vs s256/59

    3052 on stock converter/trans....http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/drag-strip/443368-10-7-127-fp3052-auto-1g-daily-driver.htmlHY35 would probably spool turbo on stock converter if you took the time to make a nice t3 ts manifold. A s259 on a nice TS T4 would probably get onto the converter too...

    200whp 206wtq... disappointment. Sound right?

    You should be happy with your results. Those numbers are on a mustang dyno. You didn't follow a good upgrade path for your car. The good news is you really only need to find a decent turbo and some camshafts and you'll jump another 100hp no problem.A friends STI stg 2 on a mustang dyno only...

    500-600 horsepower build

    I need to go back to the dyno and run my car out to 8000rpm and see how the power curve looks. When I did the manifold/turbine housing change we just through it on the dyno as soon as we got done converting it over. I didn't have any time to dial in the VE with the new setup. I made one quick...

    500-600 horsepower build

    I just got done doing a dsm flange to t4 twin scroll upgrade. I picked up around 5-6lb/min over a .55 bep bolt on housing. This is with a S200-59 with the 74/64 turbine. The even crazier result is in my application I didn't even increase lag or raise boost threshold. I like the fact that I can...

    oem vs aftermarket bushings

    If you put aluminum mounts anywhere on your car you will be upset with the amount of vibration added. Solid mounts should be considered race car only status. The amount of vibration will make one lose their mind. Even Delrin and urethane bushings can easily add lots of unwanted vibration and...

    2.3 stroker cam question

    Stock cams on my 2.3L made me want to punch babies. It was awful. Tons of torque from 3-5k. After 5k it lost so much on top it was a joke. With my K272's its useable power from 3.5- to redline. My Kelford 272's are a little small for my liking too. If I wasn't poor I would like to go to an extra...

    2.4 e316g. 216 hp, 263 tq ???

    Do you have stock turbo cams or the 2.4 cams? With that setup I would expect massive reversion problems if you had the wrong cams. That would kill your torque/power as you go up. I'd try unbolting the exhaust from the downpipe and seeing what that nets you. If that cat is clogging it will...

    Compound Turbo Setup Holset style

    I can't wait to see this thing with the boost cranked. It should respond real well because I would think your not even in the high efficiency islands of the big. I'm just curious what increasing the boost of the small would do. Ideally you would want both turbos in their most efficient part of...

    General E85 tuning and the dreaded breakup or misfire

    I'm not really talking about running out of fuel as much as trying to say you could have your car tuned lean, but wouldn't know it without a wideband or EGT. If you stay out of boost you should be fine until you can verify your afr's. I've been in e85 cars with horrible tunes that still pulled...

    General E85 tuning and the dreaded breakup or misfire

    I will agree with the guy above you should really get a wideband. Your not knocking with plug confirmation which is good, but there is still room for doubt that your tune is safe. I've seen cars that ran pretty clean with 13.5AFR WOT right up to the point where the valve and pistons melted.

    Brick wall at around 4k

    If you have two step or antilag I would assume its hitting that which makes me think your clutch switch wiring isn't right. I'm just throwing a guess out though because without a log no one can really give you a good place to start looking. Get your laptop charged!

    Here's one thing I don't get. Lets say the 1.3 is legit. Why would he give away his secrets?Here's my thought process. If he said the first run was the best that would make sense to me. If a big event was in town the week before the track is still going to be real sticky. I can tell the...

    e85 finally made an appearance in my town questions

    You'll be on the ragged edge, but you will probably have enough fuel. I had FIC 1150's that ran out at that mark at 43psi base fuel pressure. I wasn't in a position to use higher base fuel pressure though because my pump would fall on its face.If your going for around ~85 idc I don't see it...

    Holset Hx35/40 hybrid

    I have a friend that's thinking about running the setup, but not in a bolt on housing. He's using a twin scroll t3. The link to the setup your looking at won't fully utilize the size of the compressor, however even with that bolt on housing you should be able to get 400whp assuming you have all...

    Keep ac or ditch it?

    I think this is a more a matter of cost. You don't need AC to have your defrost work in the winter. To properly fix AC is one of the most costly fixes on a car. If the AC doesn't work right now it isn't as simple as just recharging especially since it is an R12 system. All the lines need to be...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    Your fuel was so far off on that pull with the timing map you were working on. 9.6? How did the car feel as it was spooling during that pull? You need Get the AFR's atleast in the 10.5-11 range. Make sure the captured wideband value is matching the gauge. Your VE on all your pulls are...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    The horsepower during the pull seemed pretty accurate. If you had real timing during those pulls you could have easily gained 100hp.

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    Where you first get full boost/boost flat line is usually a fair spot to assume. Usually where ever you get full boost is the spot where the engine likes the least amount of timing. This is usually because the engine is turning relatively slow.You can log torque and horsepower of your car in...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    It seems a bit wierd, but the fuel pressure gauge you have might be reading higher than what the actual fuel pressure is which would cause you to get a lower flow out of your injectors. I was in that boat with my car.My timing advance slowly ramps up from peak torque. I'm running a borg...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    My max timing at full boost 30psi at 7500 rpm is 14 degrees on pump. This is just about the right timing. At max torque ~4500 rpm at 30 psi I have around 5-6 degrees. This is on 93 octane gas on a 2.3L stroker w/9:1 compression. I had issues where I was getting bad knock even on e85 with more...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    If you have knock with that timing map after you took out some timing look at the path through the cells by tracking the datalog. All you have to do is click the track datalog tab on the timing map. I was having problems with knock on my car, but I realized that my timing map wasn't smooth...

    ECMlink SD V3 WOT pulls inside how do they look?

    Wow.... you need to get some timing into that engine before you burn up exhaust valves. It isn't safe to have that kind of timing. Go back to that mod1 evo map and take out a few degrees from half map down past 3500 and that should be conservative enough for you to not have to worry about knock...

    T25 Gsx vs. 2011 camaro SS

    With the Camaro's traction control even if she doesn't know how to get off the line hard she should still break 13's at about 110. The thing about a car like that is you aren't getting punished as bad by shifting slow as you are with something that is turbo'd. You don't have to worry about...

    1g head + magnus v3 cast vs 2g head + SMIM

    Here's some literature that's an easy read with some good points in it.Drag Racing Cylinder Head Selection: Engine BuilderIt might help make some more sense for some people. It definitely explains why you can't assume the 1g is better than the 2g head because of the cross sectional area or...

    1g head + magnus v3 cast vs 2g head + SMIM

    My conclusions are just based off of results from high horsepower cars that swapped heads and still had same trap speeds, and the fluid dynamics class I took. Evidence seems to suggest the smaller cross sectional area that a 2g or evo head can flow isn't a restriction and in fact it is a...

    1g head + magnus v3 cast vs 2g head + SMIM

    I wouldn't say no problem. Having EGT's on each bank of an exhaust manifold to make sure things don't lean out and burn down isn't exactly trivial. Having a manifold with better airflow distribution is always a welcome thing. Having a standalone engine management isn't a trivial thing to tune...

    largest turbo to run on kelford 272s?

    I don't know what kind of intake manifold you have but I would just get the kelford 272's, the 7670 and a jmf drag or magnus cast. I'm running a stock intake manifold on a 2.3 with 272's and a 65ish lb/min turbo and I can definitely tell the intake manifold is holding me back. You should have no...

    E85 gas mileage

    My best fuel mileage was this year going to shootout. Added some cruising timing and was running 16afr's. With the extended 5th gear at 75mph I got 27mpg on the way to shootout.My average all city e85 is only around 15mpg which really isn't any worse then the 16-17 I get with gas.

    Anyone Running a Megan Short Shift kit?

    Like above, they ruin their trans by shifting like a jackass, or not getting their cables adjusted right so the trans doesn't shift right. If you don't have it adjusted right you can wear out the trans by forcing shifts and bending shift forks.

    big 16g and 274 cam questions

    You should be okay if you stay out of boost, but ideally you would have atleast some way to keep track of afr's with a wideband. I don't see a fpr with/in your mod list. Probably not a good idea to have a big fuel pump without an aftermarket fpr.The cams are a little big for your application...

    15 psi @ 4500 hx35!
