woo hoo!!! Car is running with big ass turbo!!!

[gixxer750]

Well, the car is running with a turbonetics 62-1 on it now. It pulls super hard at nine psi(which is about all I can run.). I guess between that and the port work, I've got too much flow or something, because I hit fuel cut at 11 psi now. I DON'T have a boost leak, I've checked the pipes from the turbo inlet to the throttle body at 45 psi with a leakdown tester/ boost leak tester. I was running 18 psi on my 57 trim, and the funny thing is, I swear with the new engine on a "safe" tune at 9 psi with this turbo the car is just as fast as it was before.

Anyway, screw ANY ct26, I love this turbonetics 62-1. 9 PSI at 2700 rpm is pretty nice. I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I can't wait to get rid of my lex afm/safc and get a maftpro so I can try it at 25+ psi

How do you define big ass turbo?!? aight peace :chicken:

ps- congrats w/ new set up

A bigger turobcharger moves more air with less restriction. Of course you hit fuel cut sooner.

Good job. Now go spank somebody's ass at the red light.

You're hitting FC at 11psi with your Lex/550s setup? That's odd b/c FC with my T78 is ~15-17psi with Lex/550s.

 

[gixxer750]

yeah, I thought it was odd too. I was hitting FC at 18 or so with the 57 trim though...

What injectors are you going to go with when you ditch the 550s? I figured the 550s would be able to support that turbo, even WeDgE has the lex/550s and he's apparently running a t78? :S

congrats man... i'm hitting FC now too around 7-8psi but for sure i have a boost leak... i'm running a TC61 turbo.

are you running on the stock manifold? mine has a bolt-on-adapter for the stock mani.

next week i'm getting the maftpro+550's installed and fix that boost leak and hopefully i'll be able to pull 10-15psi (i won't be running more then 15 until my auto tranny is beefed up).

Glad to hear. I can't wait to get back home from military service so I can tune my big ass turbo too.

Congrats also on your 1,000th post.
