what do u guys mean when u say "let the car cool down with a turbo"

like what do u have to do, leave the car sit and idle for a couple minutes when your done driving or?

 

yes... that's exactly it

 

thats why you get a turbo timer

 

i heard the nonIC rrm kit gets about 8whp per psi and the the IC one about 12whp per psi. that range sound about right?

 

Well here is what happened this weekend.

SCLC had a meet at RRM and I went and installed my exhaust and a boost gauge so that I can turn up the boost.

Well we put in the gauges and guess what, I dont need to turn up the boost, I am boosting 6.8 psi. So that is where the extra power was coming from. so 15 HP at 6.8 psi plus 90 (stock) gives you 192 and some change.

so i was wrong in saying i was at 5psi and so that seems to back up the numbers more.

 

youre saying youre getting 15hp or whp per psi?

 

I was talking with Rob saturday at RRM and he seems to feel that is correct with the intercooled kit.

 

wow thats awesome, i may be getting more taht i previously thought i would. recently i read that we manuals can boost at 9psi on stock internals but i was told by andrew at rrm that with pistons and rods we can only bost at 10psi max so thats $1500 just to increase the boost by 1psi, doesnt seem worth it to me.

 

well at 9 psi i would be worried but at 8 or so i would feel fine. I agree taht 1500 is alot for 2 psi but hey it costs to play hahah.

 

major spikaaage, lol, im at .4 bar 90% of the time

 

actually it isnt a spike it sits and holds at 6.4 psi all the time and will spike to 6.8.

 

what does .4bar convert to in psi?

 

5.8 psi

1 bar = 14.5 psi

 

Hi Guru,

Nice numbers. I heard rumors of a tuning shop in our place with a 4G92 1.6L SOHC motor with a T28 turbo boosting 11.6psi doing 144whp and 140ft/lb.

Its really nice to have a bigger displacement to play with, you get more power out of a decent amount of boost

 

guru, are you getting an exhaust fabricated or a premade one from buschur or something?
