Can anyone guess how much TQ Dave's car made on the new setup? Also how much HP on the little WRC spec TR30R turbo?
What a long weekend! We all worked from Saturday at 9am to Sunday 9am!! It was worth it though, Dave has a monster on his hands!

Hard to guess without a ballpark boost number... I would hope over 450 ft/lb...

And the best part...on less than 6 hours of sleep over the course of Friday & Saturday nights, I made it back in one piece and was in the office this morning at 9:30am. I left Chicago in a snow storm and saw probably 75-100 cars spun out in the median. Ended up taking 15 hours to reach my house in Denver, and I even squeezed a nap in somewhere in central Iowa.
No antilag on the turbo yet, so I think the turbo would only make mid-20s for boost on the 34mm intake. Boost was mid-30s with the ~48mm intake (size of turbo inlet). For those of you guessing numbers, keep in mind no antilag. WRC cars running this turbo will use antilag to have these turbos spooled to 20psi at idle, so we're at a bit of a handicap at the moment.
We've made provisions for air injection in the ehxaust manifold, but I don't have the JDM antilag bits yet to make it all work. I'm unsure of what type of antilag strategy we'll be able to use with the AEM, but Martin's been looking into that. With all the snow we're getting in Denver (still snowing this morning), Martin may have to come out for a "ski conference."

I want to know too...I never got to see the final plots...or if I did I was in such a sleep deprived state I don't remember.
Also, for you guys trying to guess numbers, I'm not sure if we mentioned it, but we are using E85, not race gas.
