Woo Hoo, the old Kick has her Kick back, and
it's a mixed batch of goods, good news and
bad news, good news is she's running as well
as ever, bad news is I popped the 9 PSI wastegate
while I was testing it's opperation on the new turbo,
so I had to use the Subaru wastegate, and it's only
about 7 PSI  :(  So now I have to go find a 9 PSI
unit to get back where I was.
I went out to the 1/4 mile patch of road and ran
88 MPH thru the lines, about 2 MPH faster than
before, and I still have the bigger injectors to put
in, should be fun, the Poor Man's Dyno says 139
HP now, hmm  I'll do some more tuning and see
what I get up to  ;D

Doesn't a Turbo reduce engine life in the long run? ???
-
Any time you increase power, you are going to get
more wear, to a point. How hard does your engine
have to work to move your Trucklet at say 65 MPH ?
How much do you gear down for hills ? with the
increase in power, I still get about 20 MPG so either
the turbo isn't "on" that much, or the increase in power
is offsetting the fuel consumption, I think the turbo is
on a little most the time but not all the way up at 7 or 9
PSI, mostly around 1-5 PSI and helping propel the Trucklet
without a deep foot into the throttle.
Either way I know one thing for sure, I've driven with, and without
and I like the with a whole lot more than the without.
;D

That's cool man, maybe if you perfect this you can start your own company:

That's awesome, man... What turbo are you using now? And how fast did you do the quarter mile strip of pavement in?
-
I finished the strip at about 89-90 MPH
This turbo is from a Subaru Turbo Wagon
The problem is I'm estimating the MPH
from 5.83 R&P on 30" tires, the speedo
needle is past the 90 MPH mark way down
where it says MPH close to the H, so I don't
know for sure, I just take 10 MPH off and
figure from there

Yea, that's what I meant. For some reason I thought Hawk let you borrow it :P
Zig
BTW, what did Sky use on their Sami? Or were they done riding?

I had a friend pace me in a stock Honda last weekend.
Calmini 5.83's w/ 33's produce 70 mph when the speedo is at 65 mph. So on your set up you should be running close to shown speed on the speedo :o Holy poop :P You were flying in the 1/4 8).

stu....luck zuk??? hmmm tune in same bat time same batt channel

VW TURBO DIESEL POWER. a guy gave us the car, thats the only resone i'm useing that engine. the only prob i can find is that i'm supost to use the engine with the turbo on top of the manifold, and mine is on the bottom. :-/
stu
-
You might have clearance problems... isn't that why they suggest using one with the turbo on top of the manifold?
The solution: custom manifold :P
-
no no, i think it will be more like custom sheetmetal. ;D
stu
-
just do a custom many....u can then put the turbo anywhere...linginfelter puts the twin turbos behind the rear wheels on the vette :o
