Turbo BS Thread

Build thread?

 

Haven't had the time as of yet, still in the parts collecting stage. Eventual 500 hp goal on the 2tr engine.

 

Similar scenario found with the OV Tune kit. They had up upgrade their DI's and base fuel pump.

 

@Sleipnir , and am glad that you have renewed joy in your truck and efforts. It can become a sign wave of emotion. Her we are, and the Gods are smiling upon thee.

 

Using just the amount of air moved you're in the neighborhood of +/-400hp easily. If you know all your data points plug them in here and you'll get a good estimate of injector needed once you start cranking up the boost.

Well boys I went through the wiring and didn't see any thing that really stood out. I then decided to yolo an ebay fpr because I had suspicion that the stock one wasn't keeping up with my dw200. I now have a different engine, its no longer boggy and running super rich. I found out my tps sensor was broken as well so I have another one inbound. Even with the tps sensor remove it revs like a normal v8 now.



Yes the engine bay is a bit of a mess and I've already cleaned it back up for now.

 

How do that make you feel, seeing it running so well???

 

Honestly it feels nice to get out of that rut. It was really hard because I rebuilt the engine so I've touched literally everything which makes you question literally everything. Also with some of the components being as old as they are it just adds to it. I was giggling the entire time on the test run just like when I did my first tests with the old 4cyl turbo set up. I definitely found the motivation again to finish it in a timely manner.

 

That wave we all go through. Have fortitude, will conquer.

 

Yeahhhhh it not being my daily helps a lot lol when I did the turbo it was. There was wayyy more stress in that situation.

 

Just keep pounding that running back through there. He'll make it eventually.

 

I just know I gotta put in the time now because when I'll be driving it I'm not going to be nice lol

 

I can't wait to see (and hear) this thing when it's done. Been following your build thread for awhile and super stoked to see it done!

 

That's awesome man. Yeah I pretty much have to slap my coolers in and build the transmission electronics.

 

Some datalog highlights from this morning. The tuner should have some spice for me soon.

 

Subbed

 

From the tuner:

Loading the tune up now and going out shortly

 

Pump gas? Looks like he probably going to pull a good amount of timing. 10 more lbs of boost is no joke.

edit: post the log after.

 

93 octane

Oh we we're just stretching it's legs. Turbos are good for 36psi

 

So didn't have time to datalog tonight but wanted to get first impressions. Still making 40#/min but now holding 15 psi rather than spiking 15 psi. I can definitely feel that the torque throughout the power band has gotten way better. A little bit of gas when I first left my street had me surprised. Going to datalog this week and send them to BK.
