91awdbigred,i can tell you this, having just switched from an hx35 back to a 20g. The hx35 is not worth doing unless you want the power its capable of. If you just want a 400hp street car, mhi is better in my opinion. The hx35 is a big clunky thing, and making a sufficient oil drain can be a...
Counti41, I think I am aware there are ways to optimize a cars engine. I've read and spent a lot if money with a very smart man to optimize my cam timing, boost control and tune. But that 2800 rpm peak pressure is somthing id have to see to believe. You didn't even tell us the pressure, gear or...
Don't mess with the compressor nut If u dont know what you are doing. I don't know there is a certain feel to these turbos that you cant get from instructions on the internet. Its easy to twist/bend a tdo5h turbine shaft. you cant replace experience. Also, some I'm not sure about big16g, but...
yea when you see and old red or green that has been through 3 owners and has never broken or had any major damage, that's pretty amazing. Especially considering how ignorant we all used to be to proper lubrication and stuff when these turbos first hit. About all people knew was ball bearings...
Ohj boy you posted on the wrong message board. The forced performance groupies are going to hang you. seriously though, I've never bought a turbo directly from them. But their bolt on stuff I've seen is pretty good. I guess everything they make is custom/purpose built now days, but they used...
Yea I wouldn't pay more than 750 for a salvage title mon turbo.......if it had good tires. You can buy an awd turbo witha good title for that much if you look around. I paid 1000 for the last gsx I bought. 111,000 miles all stock. All it needed was a power steering pump. Perfect other than that.
The s300sxe is already out apparently in 66mm. It has a gamm-ti turbine apparently and shaft speed compressor cover. As far as the bw bearing system, I like the bearing package on the bw. Its just like the old schwitzer turbos that they evolved from. They are very robust.. In a time when we as a...
A motor with 500tq is going to have more horsepower. But with smart camtiming, good turbo selestuon, and smart boost control you can have a motor making 500tq, and still have a good 3000rpm powerband. Where you'll really find a sweet spot on these engines is around 400hp and torque. You can...
Lowering 1.5 is a lot. Gonna be hard to maintain proper alignment without additional parts. I'd vote bilsteins and h&r springs for a lower budget. I have agx on my car right now, and don't like them as much as the bilsteins I always used for years.
Shaving six seconds off a lap by switching to an entirely different turbo says nothing about twin scroll. And when you changed from a bep .55 to divided t4, that's a terrible example because the turbo has difficulty running out its map with that housing. Going from a .86 t3 to a larger divided...
Like I said above, sonething is wrong if the water jackets are getting pressurized. Btw I would use thread sealant not rtv, but gooping rtv will probably work.
An aem can't magically lose its tune. At least v1 can't. I doubt v2 can. The big thing is what else is he lieing about? People lie all the time selling used cars. Especially heavily modified used cars. If you buy it, a cheap 30 mile tow is always a posiviliry if you don't feel comfortable...
Are theu fairly new? When u day plugs do you mean water cooling plugs? I didn't think they would even run into the actual chamber with the diaphragm and stuff. Either way I'm shocked. I've seen quite a few tials that had sticky valves but never a torn diaphram on a new style v band wastegate...
Sorry for your bad luck, bit I like your attitude and the conclusion you came too. For some reason I just enjoyed reading this post. Anyways, good luck man. Seals and gaskets can really add up when your doing a big overhaul, but its definatly cheaper to do it once. Also be careful when you...
I've never seen favorable results when I was messing with it years ago on rotaries. But I also concluded to myself that the low pressures I was running(10-15psi) weren't letting me see the benefits.I will say that the modern OEM twin scrolls seem to be pretty amazing. I've had a few...
It seems legit. He posted a genuine serial tag ip to compare. I don't know the numbers for 14b and 16g by heart. Its definatly a 16g wheel in it and not a 14b
You didn't close the bleeder on the mbc did u? That may cause a boost spike from the set 20psi to 25psi. Also the second port on your bov has nothing to do with a greddy boost controller. Ignore that post.
Oh. I deleted it. Just the way u worded rewired with a regulator, I thought you were trying some type of staged setup. Then I figured out u were just talking about tour fpr
Huh. I always put stuff on a local site for free to anyone who wants it and mmost of it ends up in the dumpster after a few months anyways. One time I gave away a 1g intake pipe I made for a 2gmaf. The agreement was that I would leave it on my front porch. Well when he came and picked it up, he...
Man I just scrapped 4 sets. Are they really getting hard to come by? I scrapped 2 heads too. I decided to make some room since I was already going with a ton of crap from a rental I was rehabbing.
Yea I had a 92 tsiawd as my first car and got into the car business. So I bought a 94 supra trade in back when turbos sold for 25 grand retail. Then bought a 93rx7 trade and had rotary powered track cars for about 10 years. I am a porsche/audi salesman then finance manager so we get lots of...
Yea you posted nothing really. Are those all your mode? The way u listed the rewired pump would make me think you have no injectors or pump. If that's the case I think its pretty obvious what's happening. Are you speed density? You need to post a lot more info on your setup as well as a log.j
The track is much harder on the driveline, but nothing beats on a motor like sitting loaded up on a dyno with poor airflow to every system. This car seems to get dynoed once a month.
I have used and liked hks and BC 272's with stock type intakes. My DSM is for the street and I hate cars that aren't really responsive. The really popular cams on here kill too much in the 3000-5000 range in my opinion. Same with the bigger intakes. You have that big inch motor though. I have no...
U really should go to a better exhaust setup on the turbo. Also what intake mani are you using that would have a lot to do with the cam u choose. Also, I'm not sure what u mean about pulling the motor to degree cams? You can install them correctly with the motor in, and adjusting them is very...
What I love is how the car just works. All this dyno time isn't easy on a motor. A lot of the big names race cars don't see the reliability of keltalon engine.
That's because all the people on this forum worship at the feet of certain members. One bad word from them and a product is garbage. No one would dare question their idols whether the cams were optimized or even setup correctly for a base install. The only thing I've found that is true about BC...
http://www.vfaq.com/mods/wayback/CaProfec.htmactually if u read this it is basically a more versatile version of what you are proposing. It uses the stick bcs solenoid and if you simplified it with just the bcs and a mbc you would basically have what u are proposing. U should switch the...
t. If u can't buy an ecu with boost by gear, why wouldn't u just buy a cheap dual stage boost controller and do it right? There is also a DIY "profec" in the vfaq that works and allows 2 boost levels.
I've noticed a trend of more and more of the fastest guys using 2g heads. I'm sure this is not just because they had one sitting on a bench somewhere collecting dust. My machinist was telling me about 6 months ago about all the reasons they have found why the b18 gsr head is better when...
