TexasQuest Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Why would you need a switch for 93 octane? The car should be tuned on that octane from the get go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbruneaux Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Yeah, the HP gains when going from outside of the efficiency zone and then into it are pretty astounding when using good sized turbo's. But yes, as has been said a million times to deaf ears by people who know, Turbine is a super restriction. TD06 shoulda been stock on these things. Is there a link that explains a turbo's "efficiency zone"? I am a turbo noooooob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullzaflare Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 wow, i learned a few things from that video!for example, im pretty much maxed on my 56mm wh1c...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboat Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 i dont either, but if someone ticks me off on the interstate or somewhere, or someone wants to play, i dont wanna have to flip a switcheither way, i see the switch pointless, sounds like someone cant control their foot lol i would only do a switch for like tune swaps, like 93 tune, e85 tune. stuff like thatActually not pointless when you can run a lower target to help get out the hole with less tire spin and instantly onto hi boost afterwards. Its a built in option on Aem ecu's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a built in option on Aem ecu's.megasquirt does that too, but i run big tires and big turbo, so it doesnt have enough load in 1st to max boost and break loose, though it will in 2nd and 3rd, but only if your on to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My non-turbo 4g54 makes 106kw (142hp) and 211nm (155ft-lb) of torque at the wheels.http://110.174.47.143/SG/Triton/DYNO.jpgStock rods and pistons, M8 magna head ported and 1mm OS Stainless valves, 11.2:1 comp. While I have done a bit of work to it, with the work you have done on your engine, I'd expect at least 250hp and around 300ft-lb torque. I'd be checking your intake and exhaust systems as it seems from your results, that there is a big restriction somewhere. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullzaflare Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 we dont know how much boost hes actually running, anything under 12 would explain it, even 15, with td05, still explains it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshyBone Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 https://www.youtube....h?v=0Lv4yjiuJSUThanks man. I'm going to take notes on this one day lol. But what about the intercooler? I know if its too big its going to create lag but couldn't it be causing lower output numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Too big of an IC can cause lag because the turbo has to fill it with pressurized air. But after that it wont lower HP output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
