Compound Turbo Setup Holset style

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Where the vids at??

 

[91stocker]

Man that car has a mean stance. Cant wait to some track/dyno vids

 

[crash89]

Holy hell, I havent checked this in a long time!! ####ing insane!!! That side shot looks amazing!

VIDS!!!!!

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Yep... The wheel and tire combo along with the stance is absolutely sick! Lookin real good for sure, nice work! And what's not to love about one of the turbos peeking out the front.

I NEED MORE PLEASE!!!! This is gonna be so SICK Insanely amazing fabwork man... just pure skill and badassery

Got the trans almost working properly. The ratchet shifter misses 2nd gear on up shifts and hits it on downshifts . But so far so good.

Nice build!!! I suggest you do something about the cars pink eye haha jk

 

[FLASH1970]

It looks awesome!

 

[92AWDHX40]

looks good john see you at the shootout.

 

[fosforito95]

plan on going to the dyno anytime soon?

 

[viperlp01]

Got the car to 36 psi but I am currently without my dynatek so I am having break up issues. I test launched the car and I can build 13psi before the I pull through the brakes. From the little full boost logs I have I am over 30 psi before 5k. I haven't done a 3rd gear test to see when full spool is but its a pretty responsive and fun car to drive.

Gotta love an automatic. Have you done the full pressure (blue wire mod)? Also you might want to look into either a line lock or trans-brake where it locks the wheels(locks the tires up) to keep you running through the brake.
If you haven't done so there are some different stall converters that should get you higher up in the boost. My smaller turbo is seeing 24psi off launch before I roll through. I love the blue wire mod though because the shifts are so hard and fast when you want it, and then turn it off for city driving.
I love the build, and the time and effort put into it is amazing. I have watched you almost from the first post and it is seriously cool.

When you launch at 13 are you spinning? That would be the only drawback of getting a higher rpm stall would be trying to get traction at 20psi plus. My GST had to have a duel stage boost on it so first gear was manageable. Anything higher than 15psi or so on the fwd and she would walk all over the place.

Lets see some video's!

No spinning yet on the hoosiers. I am kiggly manumatic so its full manual shift full line pressure all the time. I might be able to build some more boost with a brake assisted antilag.

I am thinking back to the day's of my buddy's Supra. We did a line lock on the brakes the first time which locked up the brakes, we then changed and went with a transbrake which in general terms put the tranny in first/reverse and allowed him to come up on the converter but he had a lot more wheel spin and it was pretty sudden shock on everything.

Because your running slicks(and awd) I would think that a line lock would fit your compound setup better. I mean your tires and awd should keep you stuck while you try to get up the converter.

You can't line-lock these transmissions as far as I know. Only use a vacuum pump to make the brake booster super effective. I am sure I won't have an issue making power on the stock converter. When I figure it out I will just upgrade the converter.

 

[canada4g63]

This a very good build. Something new that hasn't been done 100 times.

 

[dsmornothing]

I am sure there is a way to line lock the brakes. Vacuum pump will only do so much, they are mainly for cars with bigger cams not for stalling like a line lock. Line lock and trans brake are two totally different things. Releasing the button on a line lock and yahoooooooooo

Edit** I know lots of old muscle cars run line locks without power brakes with absolutely awesome results. Maybe look into making an adapter plate for a nice big master cylinder and drop some weight at the same time.

A line lock is just an electrically actuated one way valve in the brake line. It's not going to make the brakes any stronger. If you're pushing through the brakes, you'll still push through them with a line lock. A trans brake is the most reliable way to hold the car back. Race cars that don't want to run trans brakes (class rules for one) often upgrade to dual rear calipers to hold the car back.

I run a line lock on my car, to lock the front brakes on and release the rears for the burnout. This is the typical use for a line lock. The brakes on my car would never hold it back, I need the transbrake if I want to leave at 6-7k rpm and 30-40 psi. I suppose cars that have converted to a solid rear axle could find dual caliper kits, and with a welded center diff, would be able to hold the car back better.

 

[viperlp01]

I have no idea why I referenced line locking vs trans brake but o'well.

Looking good!! i have a line lock setup on my car, but i also have two rev limiters and a "vacuum pump" which is really an air compressor.. i have one limiter (lower rpm through No lift to shift circuit) hooked to my brake light switch so i can prestage on this limiter and still control the cars forward motion to be able to prestage, and stage. I have the higher limiter hooked to the line lock button. Basically i'll prestage on the lower limiter and when the car stages i'll cram the brakes as hard as i can and set the line lock. When i let off the brake pedal the engine will go to the higher limiter... also my compressor is hooked to the brake light switch so its not on all the time. have a bypass switch for it as well, along with a check valve in the vacuum system to allow me to street drive it without the compressor running every time i stop.

Well its the fastest car I have ever been in so I am a little sketched out about going WOT until I get used to it. My brother and I went for a little cruise with the talon and he manned the laptop. We got a little log action. Its a pretty narly car and the compound setup is too fun.

 

[BeeRacer930]

Love the hood prop. Where can I get one of those? haha

 

[liquidsilver]

Loved following the build man. Officially the only Talon I've ever liked! One of my fav builds by far and one of the nicest I've seen!

 

[rrussell]

Just check out your log that is going to be a animal

The air flow is fricking vertical hahaha right up to the point you get out of it

I can't wait until I get mine done.

Thanks again for keeping us updated much appreciated!!!

 

[crash89]

I cant open the log :'(

Car looks amazing though!

 

[fosforito95]

do you have any problems with heat soak from the two turbos?
