I really doubt the turbo's are maxed, 392 whp for each 50 trim shouldn't be stressing it too much. The IC's though, I am sure they are totally maxed. Good luck at the track!

I can't get any more boost out of them period. I'd like to see a 1.5L dsm make 392awhp on a 50 trim. The intercoolers don't help the cause, but I really don't feel like fucking with a fmic on this setup as the turbos will not produce the power levels I want.

So what did you run today?

Bigger, shorter pipes, smoother transitions, a 110mm TB and 3" downpipes = 50 more hp. ;)

Damn, that's some serious powah, especially considering the reading is much lower than the dynojet numbers I'm used to. If you can get that thing to hook and shift, it should be an animal, even at 4800 lbs. :D

That doesn't make any sense at all. Air + fuel = power. The size of the engine will determine where the power band is at, but not how much power the turbo is limiting you to (although the engine may limit you). This is simplified, but that is what the equations boil down to.

There is obviously a bottleneck in your system, but the turbo's aren't it. Either that or the VE of your engine sucks, which I doubt. The HP could end up being limited if the engine was too large for the turbo, but not if it is too small like you are saying.

You have to remember that would be like 460+ per turbo on an AWD or FWD Dynojet and Josh is running internally gated Mitsu versions, which aren't going to perform as well as a normal T3/T4 50-trim turbo.

2)I wanna go single next year, I am tired of the lag and heat, time to look at gt42's.

Josh, does the 6-speed tranny have shorter gears? You have the 5-speed right? The extra long gears would hurt spoolup and make it much harder to stay in boost between shifts.

There are a lot of shortcomings in the setup. I think he has done pretty well for what's gone in and how fast it came together. A 6 speed would help things and so would real intercoolers. But given it's been pushed more than driven, lets drive it and have fun for a bit. Summer is almost over anyway.

The real question is what did he end up running at rock falls on Saturday! :)

Ahhh, sorry. I didn't remember them being internally gated. That will hurt the performance a fair amount. I just didn't get his reasoning behind why the turbo's were maxed out.
