Since when? Oil temperature is usually not that far off from coolant temperature. You're comparing 250*F oil (worst case senario) to a 1000*F center section.

Here's an alternative... get rid of the water cooling all together. You'll receive these amazing benefits: less places for coolant to leak, easier turbo install/uninstall, less engine bay clutter, less unnecessary super-heating of the coolant, etc etc etc

The issue you run into is the fact that any given volumetric flow rate contains different amounts of air at different pressure ratios. This is when people run into the issue of, "ZOMG!!! THE E16G FLOWS 550CFM!!!!" Ok... sweet... no one cares. Is that 550CFM at 0psi (which isn't much air) or...

You're absolutely right. The reason I didn't use the 8 compressor map is due to the fact that housings can have a large effect on compressor performance (compare a 60-1 in an E cover and a B cover) and since no one actually has an Evo3 map, I just went with the next best thing (a 16g that...

I said to ask for a turbine and turbine housing size recommendation. I didn't say ask for a model of turbo.48lbs/min? LAWL!! Are you being serious?

Or you could just look at the compressor map. That one is pretty much unarguable.People have gone 9's on T25's. Does that mean a T25 that's going 10.50's isn't even breaking a sweat?There isn't even an argument here. It's just a matter of you re-examining your logic and looking at...

Looks like a Turbosmart knock-off. That style is supposed to come with the boost tee fitting and gets hooked up like this:All the intructions you need are on Turbosmart's site.

We must be like long lost brothers or something. We think so alike that I'm afraid someone is going to think it's the same person posting under two names. ROFLTurbo sizing isn't really a subjective activity. A 16g is too small for the power that so many DSMers try to make with them. Just...

Please, please, pleeeeease STOP thinking in terms of boost. Boost pressure is irrelevant. I don't care if it's rated to 90psi. It can only do 90psi on a weedwacker, not a 4G with 272's. Turbos are mass flow limited, boost is a meaningless figure.And a 16g is far from a mid-sized turbo...

You need more injector to run E85. Stoich is like 9.7:1.

That made almost no sense, so can you draw something in MSpaint to show how you have it hooked up each way?

wat?Since when is 11.5 lean? Last time I checked that's the safer side of ideal.

Me! Me! Me!Until he can post an air fuel log to show it's running lean, it isn't the pump. The thing would have blown up on the first pull if it was running lean enough to cause that power fall off.I don't see the issue. He running a severly over-worked, tiny turbo and it's dropping...

It is. And it's definitely not having a hard time at only 300whp.OP do you have a wideband log?
