EPA FUEL ECONOMY: Combined/city/highway: 20/17/24 mpg I don't see why we couldn't do it :-) Using the weight / time = Hp calculator, 037 made 437hp on a 100 octane race tune to do that 12.744 @ 108 . I calculated that hp# using 4400lbs for the car and 200lbs for 037. And that is a stock car with just a tune. Now add big Turbos a new intercooler, RMM and cold side pipe along with a custom tune and 100 race gas...I don't see why we couldn't do it either .

I was pretty disappointed with your dyno results and I really want to see how close I am to LMS numbers from their claims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 (edited) Xtra, you are missing wheels/tires. I already have RMM and I bet my traction issues are nothing compared to what you will have if you hit 500s Edited April 18, 2018 by 037 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) The 65mm throttle body just arrived and it is beautiful.

I've been following the stelvio since concept form I'm with you. Really happy with the Edge Sport, near a Porsche Cayenne S for 100 large (well, Hudson Bay pesos) less and really comfortable, too. But really, If I had the dough I'd own a Stelvio or a RR Velar in a heartbeat. The Edge is awesome value but how many of you, if offered the Edge Sport, Stelvio or the Velar, all for free, would drive away in the Edge?

Xtra Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) Here is some good info on turbos and boost control . Edited April 26, 2018 by Xtra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) I just purchased a TurboSmart E Boost Street Electronic Boost Management System to go along with the TurboSmart Kompact Duel Port BOV. The E Boost Street is a compact unit that will fit in the dash top storage out of sight until I need to use it. When I pop up the storage it is at fingertip ready and looks like it was designed to go there, close the lid and it disappears. It has complete tune-ability and 2 pre-sets one high boost and one low boost for putting around. Cruze the Boulevard with the low boost setting to save wear and tear, then when you need some power push a button and hold on !! The E Street is good for up to 40 PSI. These two items will let me tune the car to it's full potential safely, protecting the engine from a new phrase I learned "Zoom Zoom Boom!" Thanks Special_K for the education .

Mikula Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 So the black coating is just paint? I ordered the blankets they will be delivered tomorrow. Just remember (and anyone else running a turbo blanket) to check them every so often. If they absorb any kind of oil, from turbos or otherwise, they can turn into kindling and burn it down. They are not flammable by themselves, but oil can certainly change that. I was told something years ago about blankets, so i'll pass the info along and let you guys be the judge. Because the turbos keep heat in, that also means that they are retaining heat after shutdown. With oil cooled turbos this can be a bad thing. it could produce some coking and cause premature wear. running synthetic is recommended to help with that. On the good side, turbos should spool faster, and obviously under hood temps should be better. I would recommend wrapping the exhaust down to the flex pipes while you're at it. or use some kind of additional heat shielding to dissipate some of the heat from exhaust as well. BUT... for me, on any kind of aftermarket application, such as xtra, I would absolutely use a blanket. Right now with my stock turbos, I don't think I'll see any measurable gain to justify it. But they sure look awesome! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtra Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The stock compressor wheel is a 40/51mm six blade cast aluminum. The new compressor wheel is 44/57mm eleven blade aluminum billet CNC. There was some machining of the compressor housing to make room for the bigger wheel. The new compressor wheel is bigger, lighter, stronger has more blades and will move more air. While on exhaust side the wheel remains stock. The entire moving assembly was trued and balanced, and the rest was completely remanufactured. I can recommend Comp Turbos in Pomona, CA at this point for doing a great job. By the way Pomona Drag Strip is the home of the NHRA Winter Nationals. Now all I have to is get them installed and see what they can do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

037 Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 They certainly know about the website since I keep linking to it. As far as FB, about 98‰ of the group members don't have their privacy settings set on their profile. Can't blame Facebook for their own omission, the option is there.
