It's dropping a bit at redline, 25.5ish

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Ask Shane where your IDCs end up at when you're done. Did you up base fuel pressure?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Coupler pooped off

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Moar moar!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

So one coupler was leaking slightly (the whole time it looks like) and then when we hit 410 two popped off and one was the LICP one off the IC. So the bumper needed to come off but we didn't have time.

SO basically, back to square one, well not that far but I am going to pull the bumper tomorrow and leave it at home and tighten everything. Then we will tune bumperless to avoid this again.

Took us a bit with the boost leak test...everything was going so smooth. I am thinking 420whp should be possible on this turbo but we will have to see. Spool was about 700 later at 25psi.

I will post up a few graphs later.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Get a wrench on those t-bolts and be manly about it! If you feel the pipes are too slippery rough them up a bit with sandpaper, but I've never had to do that before.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

30psi and 450hp possible?

I want to see how broad the power band is on a X compared to a IX.

This thread delivers!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Or ask to use some of Shane's hairspray. :lol:

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

probably, but he's on the stick clutch still!

this this!

Sorry about that man, but the numbers sound promising! Sounds like you are really close to complete, prepare for awesomeness on the road!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

I am thinking when I get my clutch in and we crank it up to 32ish psi that 430-440 is what we will see.

I could be wrong though, might make more. If i do some valve springs/retainers and we rev it out to 8000 we could get there i bet.

Here you go, last good run before kaput:

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Compared to stock, if you look at 25psi, lost about 700 as i said. Still not a laggy turbo, people who call this laggy need to ride in a 35r car.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Wow I'm still amazed how power on the X's just goes up up up! Looks like a set of springs could really help your peak whp by 20whp or so, depending on how high you rev it and when it starts to fall off.

What was peak wtq?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

353 I think. At less boost than before though. Didn't loss too much torque, 376->353, 23, meh.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Graph looks good! I like how it doesn't fall off at the top!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

yea i just wish i could actually drive it...still don't get to boost. DAMN!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Wow, nice power band! Get that coupler tight, throw some springs in the head, upgrade the clutch and see what it can do!

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

Grabbing a new set of plugs tomorrow just in case. Then some hairspray on the couplers, take the bumper off and hit the dyno sunday.

Springs will come later, because it looks like the power isn't dropping so revving it should help for sure.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build
 

get an electric impact after that coupler, or even a nice drill. that should do the trick
