well just got back from some datalogging runs and some changes to the fuel maps. she is running alot better now. because the motor is basically stock (that is the next upgrade) i was shifting at 7lbs of boost. which comes fast and easy at 4000rpm.
here is some boost data from my datalogger today
1st gear 4000 rpm = 1 lbs of boost
1st gear 4800 rpm = 5.7 lbs of boost
2nd gear 3500 rpm = 4.8
2nd gear 4000 rpm = 7 lbs
3rd gear 3500 rpm = 5.5 lbs
3rd gear 4000 rpm = 7.3
just to illustrate the lag i was talking about taking off in 1 st gear vs a SC motor. at 4000 rpm in 1st gear i have hardly no boost..but the rest of the gears at 4000 rpm its 7 lbs and i have to shift.
the boost comes in alot faster and harder with the turbo.....i likey
i cant wait to get a good bottom end and really open her up to redline.
big thumbs up on the turbo. i really like it. it actually...well, let me wait until i really get stuck in traffic to verify but it seems to actually run cooler (coolant temp) despite the hotter under hood temps.
