What did you do to your DSM today?

[Cdc1221]

whats the gain by swapping? same compressor wheel and cover, only difference is the turbine housing. yea you definitely have some leaks . I was seeing that by 3k easily, and 25 or more by 3500 in 3rd, on my homemade manifold. had the same issue at first though. I warped the flanges when I welded it together so had to plane it pretty good. porting the housing smooth down into the throat really helped too. dropped at least 200 off spool

installed oem headlights and ordered punishment racing o2 dump.

Got a .70 ar bep T3 housing on the way tomorrow for the hx40, playin with the big dogs now!!

My pr core is doing great keeping knock away.

Try an ETS core you'll never go back.

Had a hot blonde mom and gorgious daughter combo talk DSM's for 30 minutes at a Wal-Mart parking lot with me. Also got daughter's fb info and # as well as an invite to drinks. #ILoveMyCar

Lucky bastard! Hell yea man when i get the talon up to par we need to meet up sometime. Might not be as interesting as a hot blonde though

I mounted my race seat and harness!

That is not a proper mounting location for the harness. In the event of a crash, it can result in spinal compression.

Its larger than an ets street core. Close to a their race core.

more power. Little less spool maybe, more top end though. plus my current turbo may be the issue. Its off a wreck so it might be, warped idk. I will probably port the new housing as well. And its a mint turbo where as mine was kinda unknown with minor play.

Got my seals in the mail for FIC 850s going in in the morning along with an AFPR

Yea mine is the 10.5cm housing. Wasnt sure what it came off of though. You should be able to play around and get your spool down pretty low. At 18 psi i was making good power. I finally found out what happened to my engine. Snapped the #2 rod bolts, which in turn took out the #1 rod before shooting the block and scattering across the highway

Really? Thats strange because the 64 this turbo kit was on b4 also snapped a,rod bolt in the end. Might change some hardware before I push this too hard. Dont want to window my first build, its been treating me really good so far

Try an ETS core you'll never go back.

Try burning E85 you'll never go back.

Seriously though, swapping to a better intercooler got me to ~20psi and 6-7* peak timing. Swapping to E85 allowed for 28psi and 17-18* peak timing. Not an ounce of knock.

MJ- Link to this turbo install? Sounds like a sweet setup.

Today I'll be mocking up my HX40 setup! The .55 BEP housing should be here soon, so I can start figuring out fitment. I'm hoping I can keep at least one stock fan. My Speed Density bundle will be here too. Which reminds me that my new MacBook won't connect to Link.

Damn that sucks. It is sweet. Those turbos are capable of 400 hp. Yea wes im waiting to see this thing in action!

Mj hell yea man i would. Only thing is, i read somewhere that you have to get your rods rebored after swapping to arps. Is this true?

Funny I'm just getting rid of my .55 ar. You won't be happy with it for too long . I would run e85 if it was available close by i kept the big stock fan on my over sized koto rad but had to trim it a bit. No room for the AC fan. .70 Ar bep t3 today!!! Woohoo and flanges for my custom sch40 heavy ass manifold!

As far as your link not connecting. Make sure your security settings allow for the application to run. Make sure everything is up to date. I can help you out if your having problems. I was a apple

Easily capable. I made 392 awhp at 22psi on 92 pump gas to give you an idea. The hx40 could be a 700hp turbo with the right complimentary mods fyi.

. Thats a for sure. I'm new to the area kinda, and was looking for a little meet n greet minus typical asshole ricers. This is as close as I could get.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/Junction.Meet/

Also sedsm.org is still running, but very few ppl on there. I think they do the monthly Varsity meet still. First Thursday every month...

 

[Cdc1221]

Thats around what i want to do on an hx35, but i was talking about an evo 8 16g , which is what i have right now. Im hoping that by the time i get ready for the holset, fp will be selling thir bolton housings

Yea not much going on there for sure. Hell if nothing else we could organize our own meet

 

[1gAWD92]

i guess this doesn't count as what i did today....... but last week i got the mishimoto rad in and dressed up the engine bay a little bit and fixed some coolant leaks!.......what do y'all think?

 

[Cdc1221]

Not bad man. Needs a top tbelt cover bad

I think it'll do good for now. I'll be shocked if I can't squeeze out 500hp. I'm really excited to see the how this turbo acts. The compressor is an 8-blade, but with a 60mm inducer like the 6 and 7 blade. So I'm not sure what to expect for airflow. With my luck I'll see full boost at 5k and produce 40 lb/min.

My problem with Link isn't that it won't run, the com port settings are just crazy. It thinks I'm trying to connect to Bluetooth? Idk, here's what I mean.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Change initial port to serial usb. Install drivers also if you havent. If you have try reinstalling and removing all previous configurations. Sadly if you have to do that you'll be spending some time setting up your sensors to the computer like you initially did and change all your displayed and captured values. You won't get 500 on pump but def on race gas. I'm on 28psi on my 7 blade and i see that by 4200. I'm shooting for 9s and cracked mahles this year with the .70 AR T3 housing which im waiting to arrive from ups right now. hahaha then i go to ross.

 

[WES_393]

^ The "Bluetooth-Modem" port is my only option... I'll try downloading some of the other drivers though.

And I'll be running E85, and I mean actual 85% Ethanol. That should make it a little easier.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Only install the drivers for snow leopard. I have mountain lion and those drivers work for me. Pm me if you want.
Sounds like they aren't installed.
