I finally made it to the track yesterday. After porting the wastegate hole to fix my boost problems I made some passes.
I was only running 16-17 psi boost because I don't have a race chip yet. Just running 93 octane with a gallon of 110 just to make sure there was no detonation.
This thing has big top end pull. Now, I realize im going to have to buy a converter because I can't get the car to sixty foot at all!
The car would only 60' at 1.95! I tried to bring the boost up on the foot brake but could only manage 2psi. Last year with the other turbo I would manage 1.58-1.65 sixty footers consistently. So instead of punishing the trans and car I just made 3 runs and took it back home.
But even with the crappy sixty footer it ran 92.45 in the eighth and 12.004 @ 118 mph in the quarter. I was actually shocked that it ran this much mph with low boost. I can't wait to crank this thing up to make some more power!
It wouldn't even begin to feel good until after sixty feet, then she pulled like a freight train. I was running the dump pipe open and my 02's according to the scanmaster were in the low 800's with 0 knock. So it was a little fat. With a little leaner tune maybe it would have run 120. Who knows.
Overall I am very impressed with this little turbo. I picked up a solid 3+ mph over the TE60 on pump gas. With the TE60 I was running the .63 garrett housing so of course the spool was almost instant.
Im think at least with my car it needs a stall at minimum of 2800 at zero boost. The rest of my mods are in my sig. Im going to order a converter and race chip and go from there. Also Im going to have to get a wideband 02 to really tune this car safely.
More to come!:biggrin:
