Another Top Mount Setup
#76
Original Turbo 'd Auto !!
I have been told I'm 400cc short of 300hp and i have upcapped Secondaries flowing 880cc's. If I swap in the 1000cc's that gets me 40cc shy of the desired fueling.
I'm guessing i need to swap in the ID2000 's in the future.
(remember I'm a Four Port kinda guy )
I wonder how the Elliot and Jeff are doing today. Hmmmm

Personally, I think the 360 HP dyno looks like more fun, but that is just my opinion.
We didn't have any telemetry for the EGTs, but I suspect they were pretty low.
When we first started tuning, we had a pretty good misfire going on up top which would cause a pretty significant boost surge from the elevated EGTs. Once we got the fueling under control, that went away.
We loaded the dyno at 3000 RPM before starting the run. The turbo would start at 3 PSI or so at that point. It hits the full pressure at 4200 or so, but, as you can see, it is making pretty good torque by then.

Keeping the ports closed to 6700rpms~ish yields a lot more torque down low( just look at the graph). Having a functioning SSV would really make this powerband incredible.
All the kits from now on will have enough space to allow ECU operation of the SSV valve. I was under the impression that the SSV was basically useless on the turbo cars, so I didn't accommodate it for this build. I preferred the extra downpipe space as I originally didn't build this turbo & downpipe on this car.
Vidoes are coming! We are also re-upping our vendor status...

looking at the dyno thread brettus made your car's 307s still makes more power lower then the top mounts

Yes , having fully functional aux ports will indeed give you an awesome powerband . Some tuners leave them open all the time to prevent a lean spike but that does leave some on the table down low .

so am I incorrect about excessive pressure and heat on a smaller size exhaust housing and flange?

So, can we now agree that most were under estimating how much this motor can flow w/ the restricted exhaust ports. Nice Work fellas.
I can understand why you might think this for the street, but the later is the better.

I'm still blown away that this was achieved with an un-modified motor...the results are just all the more respectable...

read again, one was tied open, yielded good top-end power
other run was tied close yielded higher low rpm power but top-end suffered
hence leave it closed till 5300rpms then open it = best turbo rx-8 dyno yet
but it sounds like how this kit was built, the AUX will no longer work with out a different down pipe
other run was tied close yielded higher low rpm power but top-end suffered
hence leave it closed till 5300rpms then open it = best turbo rx-8 dyno yet
