Hey I raced my full weight evo 8 last weekend, I would like to say thanks to Straight Line Specialties for the awesome parts!!!!!

If you remember a while back some big shop did some testing on a borgwarner s-256 and said it doesnt make power... I think I proved that wrong.. Tell me what you think? I'll post slips, and Video soon... Has anyone else ran this turbo?
22- psi on all passes
11.6@119mph
11.7@124mph
11.9@119 mph with 200 lbs passenger

mods:

stock engine w/arp head studs
borg warner s-256 turbo flows 55lbs/min
Straight Line Specialties Stainless manifold w/ 38mm tial
3''Down pipe full 3'' exhaust
SLS Fmic, Piping Greddy bov
Stock Computer Reflased By DB performance
680 cc injectors 255 pump
Tre rebuilt trans, Act Clutch

 

whats size of the turbo, compared to mine? we got almost the same times.
what was your boost at the run?

 

Well I am not familier with the Borg Warner series turbo but I would presume it is a 30R sized turbo. It says it flows 55lbs but you are running about 50trim times/trap speeds which only flow 50lbs I believe. I may be wrong on the numbers but regardless its nice to see somthing other than a FP Green being posted

 

22psi. When you gonna wake it up?? The borg warner turbos are a secret not yet out. Any cams??

 

yeah why only 22 psi? What kind of gas you running?

 

I don't know how you picked up 5mph from one pass to the next without changing boost or the tune but if you trapped 124mph on 22psi and pump gas then that's damn impressive. Also, if that's the case, I would look into stepping up from the 680's because the power you're putting down now, you won't have much room if you turn the boost up before they're maxed.

 

Because the car was tuned a year ago on 22psi for 91 octane.. Id think I can get some 11.5's with high boost on pump. i'll post pics of my set-up today!

 

you have a 62mm wheel. I ran 22psi

 

You can't seriously thank SLS after our AIM convos.... haha



Nice times, crank that boost.

God 200pnds? I wish I weighed that...a solid 242 isn't doing me any justice..lol

 

 

You might want to make sure you're not having any boost issues or something. Even your 1/8th mile traps seem erratic. You're going from trapping 90 to almost 97(which is pretty sick by the way). Spool must be pretty decent with this turbo.

 

I let the car cool down alot and maybe rev'd it longer in 3rd to get higher mph in the 8th.?

 

Sorry for asking what boost u ran, i couldnt edit my post last night. Internet connection crapping out. Thats the reason i asked whats the differance between our turbos, cant get on bullseyes website..and I know what size my wheel is, lol i bought it. So is yours a 56mm wheel?

I like mine so far. i just cant wait to get a full-race mani to let it breathe.
