Maxing Small 21u Rb25det R33 Turbine Housing With High Flow. What Power Would You Expect?


Recommended Posts

impressive, but, to me it looks laggy for a std 33 housing! never thought id say that about a factory housing lol.

a bar at ~3700 and full boost at ~4000.

I also agree.

In response trent, even bringing the ramp rate up and earlier/more power it'd just drop off sooner anyway so you still get a reasonable idea of what to expect.

(^^ in reference to what im gonna go into below)

It's interesting regardless of housing size all these turbos have the sameissue. (im assuming also different turbine wheels as well as housing?).

Power drops sharp come @ 6500rpm again, leaves only around 2500-3000rpm power range (3500/4000-6500) :)

Given boost holds but power drops its looking like the rear housing is just choking it up too hard.

Really need to see these things hold 7000rpm if not a tad more IMO to give you a better spread.

They make power like a 500-550 turbo (with the lag), but nose over like a 400-450hp turbo. Kinda odd...

@ 270 we could do run after run without issue @ 290+ it was starting to heat up and required constant timing chances to keep it happy. do 2 or 3 runs and the timing would fall back to where it was @ 270... then it would do run after run @ that timing all day long with around 3 degrees headroom

could you use an intake temp sensor and trim the ignition based on that?

This is the high ramp run. We did this for a checkup. Means there is more drag on the wheels, the idea of doing this is to make sure the engine doesn't pin when under greater load or going up hill. Its a longer run, the afr leans out more which result in more power (from what I've understand).

Some tuners would give you this reading as your final run to make you happy and loyal.

I'm honest in my work, to clients and customers. My tuners are Status and Dr.drift. All results I've posted are based on normal ramp speed. Which still are the most out standing in SAU's dynosheet stack in terms of the what they are and their build purpose (no jungle juice either, 98 fuel all the way). :)

could you use an intake temp sensor and trim the ignition based on that?

not on the ecu it has, if it had the trim tables then yes but even then it was a little ragged.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
