dstar26t Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 Is that the Tech Edge wide band unit you're talking about? How about the knock sensor monitoring...J&S? Are you planning to watch exhaust pressure before the turbo on these runs? I'm sure you'll have plenty of flow there (no more knife) but it's still fun to know.

Are you planning to watch exhaust pressure before the turbo on these runs? Â I'm sure you'll have plenty of flow there (no more knife) but it's still fun to know. Knock sensor monitoring is on the SDS. It will retard XX amount timing per knock sum. The programmer display will also indicate knock. Probably not going to worry so much about backpressure in the beginning. The dyno runs probably won't happen till Fall or so at best. First it's getting some good street tuning and break in. Backpressure should be in check. That's one thing I aimed for. Still want a little low end backpressure, ala the 1 5/8" diameter header runners and split tang housing. I think Tim C's cam is going to really get this turbo singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 oh I'm giddy. Mike be careful buddy, I'm nervous. Sounds like you'll have one heck of an engine monitoring system though. And you shouldn't have any trouble driving around naturally aspirated for a while with the RPMs that thing will need to spool up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted_One Posted July 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 I don't really think this turbo is going to be a lag monster. If it was a Q trim 1.00 A/R then that's a different story. Gotta be nice on the break in though. It's like having a hotty just "waiting" there for you but you can't give in to the tempation. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_V Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Mike that looks great man~ I like the blue block as much as that turbo sittn' there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiggity Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Mike: having a .60 a/r will be nice. Mine is similar in a/r #'rs and overall wheel sizes. Lag isnt an issue. Yours will run fine. I hear the Sunoco 100 octane race gas, has a good ammount of "butane" in it. Very nice for spooling... (: -stig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 hey mike, i guess i was taken away by your pics i asked if you had the fuso IC after you said you had it. I guess i dont read as much as i claim;) whats the projected date for dyno numbers? any clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted July 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Well I am shooting for 300 WHP with as little boost as possible. Anything over 300HP is a plus. That's my initial goal. After that we'll see. I'd really like to see ~400HP at the crank. I'm taking this slow and sure. If it doesn't get dynoed this year because I am not content with it then so be it.

turbo26tsi Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 looks great, I'm sure you'll have no problems hitting some High HP numbers. We are gonna need to talk SDS tuning once we get both our cars going, mine is almost done also. Are you coming to Norwalk july 19th, 20th for Sport Compact Nationals? It will be nice to compare and put our heads together. I am busting my hump to be ready by then, so hopefully that will be a good turnout of starquests. peace, kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted_One Posted July 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Ya if you got any ?'s and I can help with the SDS let me know. I've got a few good practice rounds under my belt I bet the fuel curves will be somewhat close. Are you running the 4E system? I saw a distributor there still. I run the 4E. I won't be at Norwalk, I know my car won't be fully ready by then. I really like to meet some of you guys though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 turbo26tsi, you have any pics of your hood? i noticed there is a hole above the turbo, just wondering whats going on top side, nice looking engine bay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Starion_ESi-R Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Very nice setup Mike, I wish I had the money to do what you've done. I just got my Starion and I have very high hopes for it. Its not running as we speak, its having a valve timing issue so when I get the money to fix that it will go through a break in period with its rebuilt motor. Do you have any pictures of where you hid your intake? I'll post some pictures as soon as I can get them uploaded. Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosted_One Posted December 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 OH MY GOD!!! That Is the BIGGEST filter I have ever seen!!! :o Ya that's your off the shelf K+N cone filter. With a larger turbo it's important you have alot of surface area so you don't choke the turbo. Those really dinky filters work but not as well IMHO. I still need to make a cold air intake like Heefners, he has a a hot set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
