20 psi

[Dunckel]

70.00-90.00 bucks for three runs is considered the norm around where I live.

does that include the tuning in between? if so, that is a good deal. the jerkoff here wants $150 for 3 runs including tuning. and he sucks at it. i lost 40hp after he "tuned" it. sorry, sensitive subject.

I wouldnt have paid him after losing 40 hp

I wouldnt have paid him after losing 40 hp

it's a long story, i did get my money, and hp back

Ian, that's happened to me twice - Once when I originally turbocharged my camaro, and once on the Supra I learned quickly that without the turbo + manifold shielded, you get a hell of a lot of heatsoak into those IC pipes

so what kinda power can i expect with a 60 trim and the mods i listed before? at 15-20 psi will cast pistens take 20 psi form a 60 trim?

It's been done and will be done by many others in the future. I personally believe that there's nothing wrong with upgraded CTs. The problem is that they are cheap and people want to jack up the boost for 400rwhp on a 120k+ mile motor and are surprised when something fails.

I'd like to see IAT's with a CT @ 20 psi.

The closest I can find is this from John Lunsford's site at 15 psi

On 15 psi runs and 68 degree ambient temperatures, the temperatures before the intercooler reached just under 295 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the section between the turbo and intercooler, and the hottest section in the system (and no, the PVC does not melt or deform)! At the other temperature sensor, after the intercooler, the readings peaked at slightly less than 150 degrees Fahrenheit. That is very good in my opinion, considering the heat that is put out of the stock turbo at 15 psi. I would estimate that the stock turbo is only about 60% efficient at 15 psi and would not recommend running this level of boost with the stock turbo on a regular basis. This test was simply to test the PVC/stock intercooler efficiency. I believe that the stock intercooler system is actually better than most people think. I believe that the pressure drop reported is due to the stock intercooler pipes, not the intercooler it's self.

DBNO: Thanks for that!

The extra 5 psi would make a huge increase in temps.....

For comparison my car at 20 psi on a 90f day making 550rwhp was showing 107f intake temps.
