So was there timing being pulled on that dyno pull?

DSMJim said:I'm not making 551whp on my 7 bolt but I did go 12.1 @ 114 mph on pump gas with a 50-trim on a fully stock motor that has never been appart with stock cams HG and bolts etc.. Thats pretty impressive for a 7 bolt IMO... 551whp on a 7bolt is not gonna last and we all know it, at least it sure as hell wouldn't last if I owned it.

Scrymerr said:What would you estimate your horsepower to be at the crank?
red91gst said:Typically, there is a 16-18% drivetrain loss in a fwd car, 24% or more in and awd. If it was 551 front wheel hp, crank should be around 640. (551 * 1.16)

And I'm not sure we should have opened the WHP vs CHP in this thread, perhaps future discussion of this would be better off in its own thread.95GSXracer said:I have two problems with the above mentioned wheel to crak conversion factors. One, as power goes up the percentage should drop. 25-30% might apply to stock cars, but as power goes up percentage drops, some components in the loss figure should be static while others will increase with power (increase in component accleration rates, etc). Two, when you are using loss figures you cant just add them to the whp number, since that number already includes the loss. Instead of multipliying by 1.20 for example, you should divide by .8. That is assuming that the loss figures were originally calculated as a percetage of known crank HP of course. And that just gives a higher number, and when added to already high loss figures just artificially inflates the numbers even further. On a high HP AWD DSM I'm more comfortable using a figure thats more like 15% (dividing by .85). FWD I would use even less. Hard to believe that in the above example it takes 90 HP to turn the wheels in a front driver. But of course there is little or no hard data due to the severe lack of engine dyno numbers available at high HP, so my speculation is about as worthless as anyone elsesAnd I'm not sure we should have opened the WHP vs CHP in this thread, perhaps future discussion of this would be better off in its own thread.
Stapl3 said:There are people making this power with stock 6 bolt long blocks all day long. Guy on talk made 551whp on a stock 7 bolt. Nothing about your setup is really stock at all.
Awdboost said:That our local Guy Jeff Harrington.. He's a FWD running 11.036 @ 133.05 He a really good driver.. I can verify the numbers too.. He is on stock 7 bolt bottom end, stock head and intake mani. He does have HKS 272.
If he has never opened up that car I will be most impressed. red91gst said:Yes, the stock ecu was pulling timing because of knock, but I still got alot of timing from the base timing being so far advanced.
Its all in the power switch.

red91gst said:Yes, it is shitty because Curt went 9.5 and made 620whp with it, must be the wheel. :thumbdown
The 66 or the 40 would not make that power for the same reason this didnt make anymore, internal gate and stock intake manifold. Peak power was made at 6100rpms, trust me it wasnt because of the turbo![]()

38psi for 800rpms imo

Curt never went 9.5's with a 60-1.
red91gst said:Yes, you dont know curt dyno his car obviously.
What do you think a red is?![]()

DSMu4ia said:I know turbo's like the back of my hand, but I never knew curt went 9.5's on the RED. I thought he only went into the 9's on the 65.

coltboostin said:It needs 38 psi because the 60-1 is a shitty wheel to work with. That car would make 550whp easily with the stock 7000rpm redline and twards 600whp 8000rpm with a t-66 or a gt-40 with the correct exaust wheel/turbine combo without issue.
I can see how Stalp3 would say the title is misleading, because it is. You have a mildly built block and a not stock head. The numbers are somewhat impressive non the less though.
This is why I am not going with one next year.red91gst said:Not really, its a rebuilt tranny with cnc shift forks and an LSD insert. Stock axles.

coltboostin said:I know you have a 60-1, but that wont make me like the wheel. It is old technology, period. Their is a vast amount of turbos on the market that will outperform the 60-1 at all boost levels. I especially dont like the wheel for its lack of low boost power. All the cars I have driven or tuned with them dont get happy until you crank the crap out of the boost.
Ask your boy Ron if he likes it. He had one on his green car, and he said he wouldnot buy one again. This is the same thing I hear from 99% of 60-1 owners, the 1% being youThis is why I am not going with one next year.
The 60-1 is an old inefficient wheel, and is at the bottom of the heap in terms of current turbo technology.

DSMu4ia said:I'm not saying its the best wheel out, but it's FAR from the worst. I'm not saying I totally dig it either, but to say it's junk is just bullshit. If I had to do my setup over again, I would definately not chose it, but I bought this setup well over 2 years ago.
There are SEVERAL people who have put down 500whp at 24psi on 60-1's/Reds/etc. How much more power do you need at "low boost?"
To Quote anything Ron says is funny, his turtle has been on jack stands just as long as mine was, and to even grossly remember how a car ran 3 years ago can't be judged upon. I'm sure Ron would chose different, maybe that's why none of his cars run. Heheheh. He also had one on a 2.3l, which is like a 16g on a 2.0.
And speaking of old technology, that t66 you mentioned is every bit as old as a 60-1, it's just bigger, so it makes more power, but it's DAMN laggy. Even in a t3 hotside.
