Ok, so the turbos glowed and the boost dropped off...

Turbos glowing - excessive egt.... why?

Boost falls off - Compressor cant keep up (out of flow). Not related to exhaust housing restriction. If anything boost would remain at targeted level because the gases cant escape the engine quickly enough.

let's play a game of broscience.. if your housings are too small and you can't get enough exhaust gases out of the motor to spin up the turbines how will the compressor keep working?

Say you can only get X amount of exhaust gas into the tiny housings and only X amount of exhaust can get out.. well that's only Y amount of kinetic energy to move the compressor.

Like I said, not rocket science.

we do know they work well up to 550 600 whp thats all that matters.

Amazingly the front wheel and the rear wheel run out of steam at the same Point which makes it a nicely balanced turbo but it has limits.

Like anything

Lets just pour some fuel on this one lol

The tail end isn't restricted in -5s, the compressor is out of flow, my RSs with the same rear hold 28psi flat to 8500 on a 3.0 though the power does start to fall away but that might have been the old cams as well

And the boost v backpressure on these things is garbage

What do you mean the tail end isn't restrictive?

You mean exhaust housing?

And what do you mean boost vs back pressure is garbage back pressure where in your turbine or in your exhaust?

Have you measured it?

We all really need to be more specific including myself with our typing as everything will be taken out of context and waste probably 10 pages of this thread and half our lives trying to clear things up[emoji85]

I mean the exhaust side of a -5 can out flow what ever the compressor side can send it

I mean exhaust housing and turbine wheel, the more variation in pressure from pre and post turbine the better the turbo can work, just to spell it out the lower the pressure in the exhaust post turbine compaired to the pressure in the manifold/exhaust housing the better the turbo will work

Boost v backpressure in this instance is obvious but I will spell it out also for the knowledge lacking few, the backpressure pre turbine v how much boost the compressor is making

We measured it in the BSM GTR time attack/ sports sedan when it was running -10s and ended up controlling boost according to exhaust manifold pressure

if everyone had to explain everything that is posted this thread would be a fark load longer, certain things just need to be expected to be common knowledge, if there is something someone doesn't know they should ask a specific question

Did you find boost pressure and manifold pressure to equalize at 28psi?

Were they N1 or std ported ones?

My manifold is threaded and I'll be measuring the difference at some stage.

We didn't test mine, I don't have that capability setup on mine but we set the BSM GTR to about 1.8-2:1 back pressure to boost iirc, that was a long time ago now

BSM had Tomei manifolds mine a ported std

At a certain boost level the manifold pressure escalated which is why the boost was set that way

Wow that is average for a race car... but was that built to class rules?

Shop building the engine placed an order for the stroker at the begging of match but the pistons still haven't arrived yet apparently. So I dunno, august at this rate between me putting it back in when its done and my site roster.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
