I don't know...the thought of launching a completely untested vehicle at a high boost level just sounds a bit risky to me...I am not talking about being concerned with the motor tune, more of a chassis thing...

More concerned with the car never being driven...steer straight...stopping...hooking up...that sort of stuff...

Just wondering out loud...Lets say one had a completely fresh car. Never driven type of thing..Would there be an issue starting out with minimum boost while working on the tune and the setup of the car? Would it make the turbo act any differently than running it at 15 pounds of boost?

If you are planning to bracket race competitively you might want to look into bump boxes and a boost controller similar to..... http://www.ams1000.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=51&Itemid=60.. between the bump box and this type of controller they will allow you to get the...

Sure I am going to catch all kinds of hell for this but...I don't understand why everyone is so impressed with it. Come one folks, it is a forced induction motor. They are known for making power. If one were to look around you would see that 700 hp is not all that impressive from a forced...

Sorry to read about your Son....

think this was talked about a while back....might want to search for threads started by 1973dusterkid....

http://www.theturboforums.com/ One thing I have learned form chatting with some very knowledgeable folks over there is not to buy into the low compression bs. Don't remember his name, but if you spend some time on YouTube looking for "Matt's Dart" you may find one very wild Dart. Has an...

Have seen folks mention running two pumps...one pump is wired to a hobbs switch that triggers the pump at a preset boost level.

http://www.theturboforums.com/forum.php? Bunch of great folks over there.....several engineers that work in the forced induction field....

There is a very specific way to size a turbo. Involves a fair amount of math....T4 is just a mount style. Might want to spend a few weeks reading over at the TurboForums before pursuing this. If you are looking to build a consistent bracket car with a turbo you might want to google "bump box"...

Boost is about density...existing manifold should be fine....

Will look for the notes I took when I spoke with Bob at http://www.thesuperchargerstore.com/ Don't know if I can get my old laptop to fire up (that is where they are) but I will try.... Found this on my hard drive, it is not from Bob...it is from SDCE....

Sounds like an old fashion hot rod to me......build it with what you got laying around.....

I just this question about turbos....would imagine it applies to all forced induction...."Turbos don't make the air speeds inside of any engine increase, the only make the air more dense. At some point you will reach the limit of the pistons and possibly head deck strength, but that limit will...

Yep

Want some aspirin? :D Had to look at the pictures a few times to sort of understand it...

Thanks for the tip....

where did you get that calculator from?

yep

Trying to figure some things out. Can someone kindly explain how to calculate the equation, in English, the formula given in the temperature rise section on the link below? http://www.theturboforums.com/content/157-TheTurboForums-com-complete-Turbocharging-guide

Progress is a good thing....keep it up.....

Here we go again.....apples (N/A Magnum) to oranges (boosted /) comparison. Why not make it a fair boost to boost comparison? Because the /would get murdered, thanks to both its lack of size but mainly due to it's inferior cylinder head?

Interesting....

If it was not going to cost me an arm & a leg I would put a turbo on my chopper....when I finally blow it up it will get something a bit bigger than the 110" that it has now....

Very true on the diesel always being in boost.....not so much on your thought of the intercooler, SD Concepts built this Duster and it clearly DOES not have an intercooler on the front of the car....and it is making a boat load of power.... twin turbo duster 1000 rear wheel hp - YouTube If you...

http://www.alcoholinjectionsystems.com/ look around, they have some info on the where & why, or at least they used to....might want to look here http://www.alcoholinjectionsystems.com/a40/Where-Do-I-Position-My-Water-Injection-Nozzles/article_info.html

My diesel pickemup, a Chebby, has an intercooler on it. It is as large, if not a bit larger, than the radiator. Many folks avoid the intercoler route and use Meth injection. Last I spoke with http://www.sd-concepts.com/ they told me that they are pretty much just using Meth injection to cool the...
