Installed my 550c and the lex maf
with the 3" exhaust and downpipe and a boost controler, this thing pull like crazy
boost spike to 18psi then goes back to 16psi (very hot day, 33C and full humidity)
when the sun was set, I would hit FC at 16psi so I set it to 15psi and it still pulled strong.
I...
shimmed the 57-trim, feel a lot more powerful at 9psi (I'll acquire a boost controller soon to have more boost).
I must now modify my exhaust system as it is way to loud for streetability.
Can't wait to see how well it will perform with the spearco, 550 and lexmaf!!!
yes the wastegate will be shimmed by 8mm tomorrow.
yes I have a spearco replica lying in my basement, but no piping for it. I'm waiting for someone with fab skill and a tig to make a 2.5" aluminium piping from turbo to the spearco and back to the TB. no more boost leak if I go this way (and much...
That's what my buddy just told me (on the phone). He also stated that the stock intercooler has a pressure drop of like 2.5~3 psi.
I will hook up a aftermarket boost gauge, shim the waste and check to see if the magic happens
Thanks!
I just double checked every hose going from the turbo to the IC and the IC to the TB. they are all fine.
looks like my 57trim just gone back to the stock boost pressure (the same as the ct-26 before shimming).
another thing, my idle drop to 500rpm then slowly climb back to 750 when I let go of...
the 57 trim wastegate was not shimmed (I should say)
no code
3" downpipe and straight exhaust
k/n air filter
550cc and lex maf are waiting in my basement (it's rainning I can't install them today)
EDIT: I don't know if I'M stupid but I though that even with a bit less psi (6 instead of 9) the...
I don't know if this is normal.
I had a stock-ct26 with a shimmed wastegate (around 9psi of boost). the turbo was DONE.
I bought a ct-26 with a 57 trim and it was almost brand new (was used once on a drift car, he made over 400whp with it). I tried it and there is no power, my old ct-26 made...
first car I owned is my supra 89 turbo. I slided it around a a track once to learn how the car react and a supra is very easy to control, pull the clutch it and it will straightout by itself
EDIT:
wait no my bad,
