Took a trip up to Pruven yesterday, had them install my BR500 turbo for me, did an awesome job by the way...As good as I, or anyone could have completed it...


Anyways, Al then came over to flash the car with the turbo on it...Using c16 and roughly 30psi she made a best of 444whp...This is all on a stock block, no headstuds or anything internal- other than the 272's

Could have probably taken it a little further, but i think it was time to call it quits

On the street the car is an animal, lag is minimal to around 3800rpm then it takes off and just flies...Very fun car around town and back country roads...

Definitely a satisfied customer

Big thanks to Dave Buschur, i owe you big time for all of this...
And Al, you're an animal and quite awesome at what you do

 

Thanks for the post, you can't believe how happy I am that the car is running as it should.

Nice thing is when you go to the track you can just dump race gas back in and then up the boost.

I am also happy with the 3800 full boost spool up you are making. This is right in line with what we are seeing, on the dyno the car has much more lag than that and I have no idea why that is.

Sweet. I wonder what kind of 1/ times you would see with this set-up?

 

Nice! Are u using the AEM EMS or just a VAFC?

 

Less load on the dyno, harder to build boost.

 

HHHHOLLYY~~30 psi wtih stock block? Is that even safe to run that amount of boost with stock headstuds and all? It might look good on the paper but how long will it last?

 

is this on a dyno dynamics dyno? how much hp would this make on mustang or dyna pack? im guessing if its a DD it would do around 500+ on a dyna pack.,

 

pruven has a dynojet

congrats on the numbers...what did you get with pump gas. David....how can you just dump in race gas and turn up the boost on race day....shouldnt you have a specific tune for the use of race gas

 

Are you actually race gas flashed? If so, what do you do when you're driving on the street? If not, are you running an SAFC? Do you have pump gas numbers fr this turbo?

Thanks in advance and congratulations.

 

^running 366whp on 94 for the street

 

Just dumping in the race gas with a street tune in the car will make more HP and allow the car to run the maximum timing set in the ECU. It may have been running the max timing already on the pump gas if there was no detonation.

The fairly low timing numbers that the car is tuned for on pump gas won't give you the maximum HP you could make on race gas but you will gain the HP from the additional boost. This the safest way to run high boost for sure, maybe not the best way to make big power numbers but it is VERY safe.

Most of the time you can figure on atleast 10 hp per pound of boost, this is without doing much other additional tuning for the higher octane and timing. As much as 15 hp per pounds isn't unheard of.
