there is someone on this forum selling kits... dont remember the name.

 

Damn if you can find the name let me know asap.. How's the car holding up?

 

Ignition and fuel tables were sent yesterday I think. Any help is more than appreciated. I also did a pull this morning in 3rd and logged that. It will be my baseline for some changes I'll try.

I went and bought a length of cheap flex pipe. I'm going to attach that to my dump and get the exhaust gases further away from my intake. I'm also going to try a pull or two without the filter. That will eliminate the possible restriction of the elbow. Just let me know if anyone wants to see the log and I can see about posting it later when I'm home.

 

Fuel and ignition dont look bad, its not aggressive by anyt means but it shuold still make more power than that. Time for new turbo and 3" and reroute that dump tube

 

Thanks for looking at it. I told him to keep it safe, so that's good that it is. My a/f ratio is about 12 throughout boost.

On another note about my IAT, I noticed this morning that they would continue to climb while idling. This with it being 80F outside. I was getting around 115F IAT at first and then after one boost pass it went up to about 130 and wanted to rise fast when I was idling. This tells me that the "under hood" temperature is just super hot and everything is heat soaked. I'm hoping that after I redo the dump and wrap everything, that will help. I also read that the turbo efficiency can play a big part in this, but I'm not too sure that's my problem since it was going up the fastest at idle.

A new turbo is definitely in order before I go back to the dyno. I plan on getting one slightly smaller than I have now. It feels like a catch a little turbo lag after a high rpm shift, and it might be a little big for what I'm wanting. I'll probably go with a turbo that will support about 350hp, so that will give me a good spool time.

I would really like to do 3" downpipe, but I have a 2.5" exhaust and I want to tie into that (I daily it). I'm sure in the future I can make this change though.

Thanks for all of the help so far!

allmotor thanks man............I have a 3 inch down pipe no cat and moroso pan too..but im not digging my pan it hangs pretty low,and it seems to always leak were the fitting goes into it...I havent had the fly wheel that long but so far its been ok, sometimes when i come to a stop the idle will drop low but i dont know if its that...

Not only can you customize them to match your underhood decor...makes for easy assembly/removal/servicing as well

 

Thanks I'm gonna go with the tempest racing one.. Looks good and the black fittings match the theme I'm going with..

what kind of pistons and rods combo would you guys recommend for 500-600 whp? 81.5mm bore

 

Eagle rods and Wiseco/CP/Arias/JE pistons

 

Very true or if you got the extra dough get manley turbo tuff rods those things handle anything you can throw at it

 

Agreed, I rode in a 320whp integra with a 6262 and boost kicks in kinda late and when we were in first spinning shifting to second it took like 2 seconds for boost to kick it and by then I was yawning for those 2 seconds....more for 400 + hell its rated at what 650hp and you won't be making half that so get something a little smaller like a 57 trim

 

Eagle rods, SRP, CP, JE, Arias pistons are all good. I personally am running SRP due to the higher slicon content they dont expand as much so you can run a little tighter PTW for a quieter motor but really any listed are great products. Try to go with 81.25 if anyone makes a shelf piston that size. the least amout off the bore the better but if nto then 81.5 is just fine just dont go larger



Its always to better to be higer up into the effeceiency range of the turbo for better overall performance, the 6262 on an ls for 300ish whp wont even be into the effeciency range yet and laggy. A 50 trim or 57 trim would work well. The 50 trim will spool a little better and only make a couple less hp

 

i really don't understand why people get 35r+ bigger turbos when they only want like 300whp.

 

You did not know its cool to spend 1200+ when you can buy one for 500 and it will do the same job or better lolol!!!!

 

Because most people dont know very much about turbocharging. Thy think if you get a huge turbo and run 8 psi its going to make gobs of power over a smaller turbo at 8 psi. Little do they know its going to be super laggy, have a terrible powerbannd and just not be the correct turbo for the application. better to have a smaller turbo suited for the application and run more boost to obtain your goals. IMO a 57 shooting for 350whp would be perfect, a gt35r shooting for 350whp is just overkill. Takes more boost pressure to make 350 with th 57 trim but spools better and HP is HP reguardless of boost pressure. a wide powerband will always be quicker at same power level

Oh yeah and its totally JDM YO ! lol

 

OK. A little update on my situation.....

I did some testing last night and today, and I was suprised in what I saw, but it shows that I am needing to look in other areas.

I took off my filter and replaced it with some screen last night. I also extended my dump tube back and closer to the ground. I expected that this should free up some flow without the elbow on the intake and basically eliminating the possibilty of sucking dumped gases back into the turbo. However, I haven't seen much of a change. I expected that if my hypothesis was right, my AFR's should lean out up top, but I didn't see this. I basically showed no change, as far as I can see. I am running at a lower boost level right now, and that could be affecting the rich AFR's but I'm going to change the boost back up on the way home today just to make sure it's an "apples to apples" comparison.

So, this leads me to think that my exhaust (2.5" DP and full 2.5") and the turbo (ebay special) are some culprits to look into next for the restriction that I'm seeing. So, my plan is to fabricate a new 3" downpipe with a cutout for track use. I will still run this to my 2.5" exhaust for street use (for now), but it will help me attain that 300 whp number that I'm shooting for with the cutout open. I'm also looking to change the turbo in the future, so if anyone has any suggestions for a good, entry level turbo with a max HP rating of about 300-400 just post them. I figured this will give me good spool time and get me where I need to be.

I ordered some more 1.5" tubing, but I'm not sure if I'm going to change the dump tube now. I know that the location that it's in now isn't ideal, but it's showing to not be an issue. I guess I'll just have to see how the downpipe goes and how much room there is on the other side (hot side). One good thing about moving the dump would be that I could get the filter higher off the ground though too.

Anyways, as you can see from my babbling, I've got some decisions I need to make.

 

I want to run SRP pistons but the compression is kind of low. They offer 9.0:1. I've got a b18c1 that im building on the side and not 100% sure if want want to boost it or keep it N/A. i was looking for something in high 9's or 10 flat. also i've been reading forms were people run P2W clearances according to manufacturer specs and have issue with the pistons expanding too much and scratching the walls. what do you guys set your P2W clearance at???

 

Definitely look into Supertech pistons then. That's what I'm running right now, and I've had no issues. Their customer service is great also! I don't know about the B18C1, but I'm running a B18b and my CR should be about 9.7:1 with my current setup. Also, this are high silicone pistons, so you can run a close PTW. I believe mine was at their spec (like .07mm if I can remember) due to a "lower" boost/hp build.

 

i was looking at those two. Found the pretty cheap on JHPUSA.com and have been reading good review on them. thanks for the feedback

 

There is nothing wrong with 9:1 compression the difference is minimal out of boost and it gives more leway for error. I dont run my PTW according to the sheet cause thats def to tight, thats more for all motor, if im not mistaken im around .028 or .030 ptw with the other pistons they like to be be more around .035

The SRP b18a/b pistons are 9.5:1 according to the website, GSR are 9.0:1

My engine has Great throttle responce with the srp's in it and has great low end power. I love them personally but to each his own
