I think you don't understand what I am trying to say, I suggest you do some googling.

I dont need to google anything. I am the one here that made record numbers on -5 turbos. I specifically asked YOU what is the restriction? What is the back pressure ratio on -5's? What is the back pressure ratio change when externally gated? What specifically is the advantage to externally gating these turbos on this engine?

Your motor will breathe, externally gate anything before the collector and you'll make more power.

It's not rocket science.

And congrats on your epic record achievements because it's a US dyno. I'm sure my corolla would make as much power as your setup too if it were on some inflated US dyno :)

Also, calm your farm.

congrats you managed to make 800 field mice power with -5s on an American dyno

That is assuming that anything after the collector is in fact a restriction... You have no data showing that it is or that an externally gated setup will benefit this specific application.

I would also like to point out that everyone seams to be laying the burden of proof on me. Has anyone here specifically dyno'd on a dynojet to say that it reads high?

And still hasnt seen the strip....

Car will see the strip. Just got the clutch sorted out. Now working on a tire rub issue.

If you love playing statistics wars, I heard the stock market is a fabulous place for that :)

What do statistics have to do with definitive measured data?

FYI - you still have not answered my question.

hint: its because you dont have the information to answer said question.

It is well known that dynojet number's are ALOT higher than dyno dynamics or mainline dynos here in Oz.

Run it up on a mustang dyno that will give us a far closer number.

Im sorry but on a stock head and stock cooler etc that your car has that power simply isn't possible!

Dynojets are around 15% higher than our dynos on average.

Don't need any data, proof is in the pudding.. piggaz's turbos were over worked, glowed probably redder than the sun, boost bled down up top.

I don't need to work for NASA to tell you that the housings are too small.

Anyhow, a couple of Nissan SR20s would pull a premium one week before race wars

Look, I was letting this thread sit till we ran the car at the track except I keep getting multiple emails a day with you jack holes cluttering up the tread. I am not stating anything until I run at the track.

So we are looking for high 130mph?

no, need at least 140mph.. Maatouks can do it with less powererererer.

Ok, so the turbos glowed and the boost dropped off...

Turbos glowing - excessive egt.... why?

Boost falls off - Compressor cant keep up (out of flow). Not related to exhaust housing restriction. If anything boost would remain at targeted level because the gases cant escape the engine quickly enough.

    • I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.    
    • Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.
    • Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure. 
    • That's exactly what I told myself. I'm happy it came out. 
    • My bet is there's a fuse somewhere you blew that feeds power to the ECU. Or you've bumped something out behind the dash board.
