Upgraded turbo just arrived!

Lol, we don't. I asked the same question a week ago about how the ECU knows these things ( compressor outlet, exhaust flow, flange temp, ext valve temp ). The best guess we have is some type of cal based off the cylinder head stock flow, cams, intake, and they use that against coolant temps, mass air, intake temps, and map to come up with this info. I have no idea how it gets it. I do know the ecu looks at it for tuning.

OIC... LOL...thanks...Pardon but I'm still sorting through all the info mentioned here on the forum...

I was kinda taken back there that there was mention or inference of one being installed....

I am glad I decided to not learn how to tune after 20 years in the USN and some of those working on insanely complex gear sometimes under very stressful situations involving things I cannot talk about.......I could learn, I could master it, I just got to burned out to want to, I was a very very good tech but no longer am.......

I find it quite interesting to learn from the sidelines the basics and how complex and incredible what is being done and there are those willing to dig in and figure it out, tune, etc.....very glad for it!

Maybe I should of learned as had one new cars engine blown up on a dyno and one blow up a day after an $1100 tune by "experts" and they did not cover my losses, one did partly when I took a "bubba", an actually serious one at that, and a demand letter to his shop.....

That reminds me of a "roll cage" I was having built by a shop the owner claimed to be the local rally scrutineer but the job was so horrible I called my neighbor, the regional SCCA inspector and he brought over the real scrutineer and they wrote and signed a letter which I took to the shop and left with a car load of new parts I could sell to recover the loss.

Anyway, thanks for all those that take the time, I am sure most all absolutely love doing this, to learn how to maximize these ever increasingly complex machines!

I drove to the dealer today, 4 blocks, longest drive in the last 6 months! I need the ABS system bled and just cannot find a way to do it myself.

I have an appointment tomorrow and after that hope to put 200+ miles on as only 296 now.

Interesting..thanks for posting!

I see you logged calculated compressor outlet temps....any chance you also logged ambient or intake temps? although it does appear as if the intake temps probably fairly close to the ~85F charge temps recorded prior to positive boost condition at the beginning of the run?

You think spool up will get any better?

What does 16psi at 6800 rpm feel like ?

I've seen 17psi at 6200rpms. Its such a big improvement uptop !! Trying to add more to it ask I type

I guess the trade off (as expected) is that you also move out boost peak by ~1000rpm to gain 3~4 psi at the end of band....Is the added turbo lag that noticeable?

Its central fl in the middle of Summer, lol. When it says 95degrees, it means 120degrees.

That log was actually done in the rain I think.
It was 80degrees with a 10007% humidy.

Also keep in mind... This is a stock intake, stock turbo outlet pipe, stock intercooler car. Its basically TBE and the upgraded turbo.

Ouch...I feel your pain (high humidity and big ol' bugs! ) LOL...we're still getting temps here in the 110's... but it a dry heat ..yeah right...haha..Scorch....

And that was next question but thanks for anticipating and answering it...from your temp data (charge temp ramps) it looked like you were running a stock FMIC....will be interesting to see the improvements made after your FMIC is upgraded....

good stuff! thanks again for posting....

Gotta love global.. no wait Polar Vortex I have had my heat turned on for a week now up here ... great for power bad for traction .. lol can tell the tires need more time to warm up ...

My air filter also has 18.3k miles in it, lol.
And yea... Its warm here

Is that parked on the pavement?........ Yikes!! Although I shouldn't be that surprised as we have a few days here at the height of summer were outside ambient temps alone hit +122F with single digit humidity of course....

Heat wave on Sat too bad it will be wet AGAIN....

rub it in!!!! we call that a cold spell here....LOL.....

I'm closing in on 7000 miles. I swore to myself I would have a turbo swapped on to this car before 10000... I'm very excited if no one has noticed.

Did not have to go to the dealer, fixed he brakes myself by fixing something I goofed up on back when I first started mods I shortened the line to the brake booster and put the check valve in backwards. I was so long ago I had forgotten I modded it so never looked there and that was it

Dealer loves the car, driven there twice, no hood or bumper cover....BBKs on, some other parts showing....

I am going to build the real sealed CAI next but have to pull the DP and clean as the wrap has some oil on it and smoking like mad. The WG flapper is arriving tomorrow so going to pull the turbo now to port the WG and turbine outlet, and building the 2.5" turbo to IC hard charge pipes, all goes well I will finish all this by tomorrow, next day for sure, and then all done and just break it in and then tune with all the mods one can do with a stock turbo and ported manifold.
