Turbo BS Thread

I throw a gallon or 2 of e85 to a full tank of 91 on occasion. Helps with dealing with hot summer days. Makes my truck and car feel like a nice brisk winter day when it is 90 to 100 out. So I'm roughly around e15-e20. It's so little e85 I don't need to tune for it since my normal tune is around low 11.

 

I used to do this for dyno days with the BMW, made hot lapping it on the dyno not lead to single cylinder timing corrections

 

The car it makes the biggest difference. In the summer it just pulls a ton of timing and with a splash of e85 it won't pull anything. It's a good 10-20whp difference.
Truck is just a butt dyno thing. I can't back it up besides it feels better when driving.

 

oh man, you are missing outs it’s a great way make power. 91 is pretty low as it is. OTT tuned responds all the way up to 96 octane or so. Stock it’s almost the same.

 

I understand, I've used it before on my 40psi compound turbo 1jz. Not doing that game with a desert truck. 91 is perfect for me. Can full up anywhere and even run 87 if need be.

 

1jz can do it. 30 psi at 3500 rpm. Then add more.

 

Smart man, my safety tune cranks it down to 2.3psi and lets me drive it on 87 no prob if that was all that avail.

 

Do you have to reflash or how are you doing that? Pulling the boost controller line?

 

Just an assignment for the rotary trim knob. You can assign it any boost level you've tuned for as a cap. I haven't figured out how yet but you can also link it to a timing correction map. I think it's plenty safe on 87 anyway, but I am pretty timing aggressive down low so I was gonna knock 3° out

 

Ah ok, I did buy one but haven't found a use for it in fear of using up a 4D axis I want to reserve for gear #

 

Getting on I-15 in an 80mph section I crossed a cattle guard while in boost in the rain, made the on ramp a little more dramatic and definitely put a smile on my face for a minute or two

 

Dukes of Hazard it?

Needs more VROOSHUKSSS TU TU TU... but it does indeed move

 

Got tired of painting the underside of the bed with carbon...

 

Ha! Same here.

 

Turn down for what

 

How bad is the drone? My exhaust needs to be redone soon. Damn salt they throw on the roads these days.

 

It's nice and mild now. It was really drony with the pipe just ending right before the back of the cab. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the FlowFX muffler and some extra pipe. I think I could make this pretty quiet with a vibrant ultra quiet resonator in line too.

 

Lt. Dan, where's the other half of your crossmember haha
