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.

let's play a game of broscience.. if your housings are too small and you can't get enough exhaust gases out of the motor to spin up the turbines how will the compressor keep working?

Say you can only get X amount of exhaust gas into the tiny housings and only X amount of exhaust can get out.. well that's only Y amount of kinetic energy to move the compressor.

Like I said, not rocket science.

we do know they work well up to 550 600 whp thats all that matters.

Amazingly the front wheel and the rear wheel run out of steam at the same Point which makes it a nicely balanced turbo but it has limits.

Like anything

Lets just pour some fuel on this one lol

The tail end isn't restricted in -5s, the compressor is out of flow, my RSs with the same rear hold 28psi flat to 8500 on a 3.0 though the power does start to fall away but that might have been the old cams as well

And the boost v backpressure on these things is garbage

What do you mean the tail end isn't restrictive?

You mean exhaust housing?

And what do you mean boost vs back pressure is garbage back pressure where in your turbine or in your exhaust?

Have you measured it?

We all really need to be more specific including myself with our typing as everything will be taken out of context and waste probably 10 pages of this thread and half our lives trying to clear things up[emoji85]

I mean the exhaust side of a -5 can out flow what ever the compressor side can send it

I mean exhaust housing and turbine wheel, the more variation in pressure from pre and post turbine the better the turbo can work, just to spell it out the lower the pressure in the exhaust post turbine compaired to the pressure in the manifold/exhaust housing the better the turbo will work

Boost v backpressure in this instance is obvious but I will spell it out also for the knowledge lacking few, the backpressure pre turbine v how much boost the compressor is making

We measured it in the BSM GTR time attack/ sports sedan when it was running -10s and ended up controlling boost according to exhaust manifold pressure

if everyone had to explain everything that is posted this thread would be a fark load longer, certain things just need to be expected to be common knowledge, if there is something someone doesn't know they should ask a specific question

Did you find boost pressure and manifold pressure to equalize at 28psi?

Were they N1 or std ported ones?

My manifold is threaded and I'll be measuring the difference at some stage.

We didn't test mine, I don't have that capability setup on mine but we set the BSM GTR to about 1.8-2:1 back pressure to boost iirc, that was a long time ago now

BSM had Tomei manifolds mine a ported std

At a certain boost level the manifold pressure escalated which is why the boost was set that way

Wow that is average for a race car... but was that built to class rules?

Shop building the engine placed an order for the stroker at the begging of match but the pistons still haven't arrived yet apparently. So I dunno, august at this rate between me putting it back in when its done and my site roster.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
