[email protected] 1/4about 32-33 psi and 16* peak timing.The next pass I broke the front yoke into 3 pieces :P The only changes...
Got to make a somewhat clean pass with the twin scroll hx35 setup in the auto :)<object width="640" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bycX26h_RRU?version=3&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param...
Some history:'91 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD 5 spd that I've had since '06. Drove it back and forth in college about 200 miles round trip on the weekends etc. Got it pretty much stock besides a 3" turbo back exhaust and manual boost controller at 15 psi. Some college friends invited me out to the...
Open house Dyno at Late Model Throttle in Waukesha, WI.Same setup besides the intake cam change from a 264 to a 272 DKS(HKS regrind) since early this year. Healthy increase across the board and no decrease in spool time.30psi

Same hx35 setup as last year(stock twin scroll etc) but a 272 intake cam and 3 more psi(28 psi vs 25). Usually around 30 psi daily driving it but the warmer(50*ROFL) weather seemed to drop a...
No record, but I'm happy as hell with it.Slicks only night at GLD and kp116 was nice enough to let me use his QTPs. Worried about breaking my stock 3 bolt rear end or 2 spider center diff but couldn't pass up the opportunity :)
Held up to a 1.5 60'!!<object width="640"...
Went to the track on the spare 14b for grins hoping to hit a 12 and call it quits for the season. Later left hoping to hit an 11 but with a broken 3-4 shift fork :ohdamn:First run:1.690 60'

[email protected] 1/4Second run I tried to leave a bit harder and shift a tad...
Made it to the track. Cold track made it quite interesting, but here are the results:[email protected] spinning through first/some of second and [email protected] with an easy launch/bog. Didn't expect anywhere near that :) If the track was warmer 11's definitely aren't out of the question as seen by...
Been fighting it for a while on other peoples' setups and been fairly successful. But of course, it ends up I can't cure it on my own :p14b with a 7cm^2 turbine housing, 3" turboback with no cat, only a 3" vibrant resonator. Dejon super sidemount, piping, etc etc.Ported the turbine...
I got my head back from the local machine shop today; they said they took off .005" on top of .006" that was taken off in a previous resurface. They also measured it from the top of the head rather than the 3 indicator "cups" so I don't know if I believe there was even a resurface done...
So, here is the email I just got regarding my '91 SHO that is/was up on craigslist:how much xtra you charge put turbo kit on?
I wan 1/4 mile 10 sec car.
SHO make prefect setup drag race, specialy wit
big turbo entercool kit, like halset or sumthin lik it.
am liking to go fast soon wit ## terbo...
I've been kicking this idea around for a little while now. I've seen people block off one side of a twin scroll turbine for spool up, and then go one step farther a put a butterfly valve on one side; opening at a certain boost level or rpm. None of these retain the benefits of the divided...
Boost Creep:Internally gated 14b's, and 16g's especially, are known for boost creep. There are 2 major factors to this: the wastegate (WG) passage design and how far the wastegate actuator (WGA) moves the flapper; both restrict the flow of exhaust gas around the turbine. This works fine for...
I'm talking the '07 and under, back when the Evo had the 4g63 and the STI wasn't a hatchback.Which would you rather have?I know this is a DSM site and the 4g63 will probably be more popular, but I'm fairly open minded and it's a really difficult question for me(not like I can buy either...
Despite the title, this applies to all TD05H compressor housing WGA's. 14b, 16g, etcI was curious how far the flapper actually opened, and found it EXTREMELY limited. Not even close to the 45 degrees I had heard. The cause of creep in internal wastegates was apparent, the mitsu style...
I've been wanting to do this since my first cracked exhaust manifold(1g? really?) on my first DSM. I've been looking into this for a while but have had limited success on tips for making my own. My original plan was to make up a jig for the stock manifold so the tubular one put the turbo in...
Here are some pictures of what happens when a balance shaft bearing spins. This is the shaft that comes from the oil pump housing, and runs off the timing belt.
I was disassembling an old turbo 1g head that threw a timing belt and noticed the intake side was clean where the injector had sprayed fuel. The rest of the intake port was black with carbon. So, I took some pictures :pI've always heard not to polish the intake side to prevent...
Tearing down my engine after my car started on fire a while back from a cracked/split fuel line. The engine made no strange noises before the fire, and stopped running as soon as flames came out from between the hood and windshield :barf:I bought the car about a month before it started on...
Has anyone else noticed that boost comes on quicker in lower gears than higher(5spd)? Example: maintaining speed at 4k rpm in 2nd and mash it, it reaches max boost sooner(watching the gauge, not seat of the pants) than 3rd at 4k rpm, same with 3-4 and 4-5. I know an engine needs load to create...
I got scammed and now have a (true)Evo3 16g turbo with a little up and down shaft play but about 1/32 to 1/16 inch of in and out play. Everything else looks good as far as I can tell. Am I correct that this is in need of a rebuild and is it worth sending it to a turbo shop or should I try to...
Driving my tsi, in second, floored it, started pulling like crazy, let off, and still ran but was very rough almost sounding like only 2 cylinders were firing along with some backfiring. Checked around, the wastegate hose was off. checked for boost leaks(or a blown gasket in this case) and...
I bought the car not running after the timing belt snapped(1991 tsi stock) so i had never heard it run. I did a complete engine rebuild and got a new head, a 2g head. i transfered the camshaft angle sensor from the old head and put it on the 2g where the bolts used to line up and had left...
