Official 3rd gear Street Pull - Data Thread
Dynos are nice... but they are all different and typically create a load that isn't totally road-like. Where the rubber literally hits the road is on a 3rd gear street pull. Lots can be said of a setup based on the data provided in a 3rd gear street pull.
So here's the deal. Make a 3rd gear pull from 2000 RPM or so to redline. Use a flat road, no hills, no brake boosting.
- List your setup
- Plot "boost vs RPM", this will show us how fast your turbo spools on the street in real-world conditions
- Plot RPM vs Time
- Plot Speed vs Time
- Plot HP and TQ numbers if your datalogger can do such a thing.
I'll start...

- jid2 built 2.3L (Wiseco, Eagle)
- GT3076R, 23 psi, 94 octane
- Kelford 272's
Here's Boost vs RPM. Load is in pink to show an approximate torque curve. I'll have the other plots tomorrow after more tuning.

DLL Plot Pump Gas 24 psi (weight was wrong for the car, more like 400 whp).

DLL Plot E85 28 psi (correct car weight)
- GT3076R, 23 psi, 94 octane
- Kelford 272's

3076R

3rd gear on street vs 3rd gear on our Mustang dyno (street pull was started in higher rpm):

Another 3rd gear on street Vs. Dyno

Now that I've said that, here are some 3rd gear logs.

Log 3rd gear, street, 91oct, FPgreen, Evo 8, 27psi

Timing:

I have a bunch more that I don't currently have access to that I can post up later.

Walbro 255
RNR BB 50-Trim
APS BOV & TBE
ETS IC Pipes

DLL Plot:
32psi / E70 / 17 degrees up top (90% IDC / 2330Hz airflow)

Boost v RPM:

I'll have to pull the other data off my laptop later.

i am embarassed to put up my numbers lol.... all i am making is 300 
all i got is a 3" TBE and 3 port BCS. hitting 24 psi @ peak tapering to 22 psi.
log done in 3rd gear from 3000rpm and i got full boost at 3551 rpm

New Graphs, I'll add boost logs next time I do logging:
HTA3582 / 24psi / E85 / Stock 2.0 (Used old 50-trim chart at 23psi on pump 93 for comparison)

HTA3582 / 26psi / E85 / Stock 2.0 (Used old 50-trim chart at 23psi on pump 93 for comparison)
