I caught an interview with him once on why he does it. He said when he was young he always dreamed of being invited on the stage the same way he invites folks to come up today. It gives him great joy especially when they rock the house.

This is why I will pay front row ticket prices for Foo Fighters shows. Not for the chance to get on stage, but because of him. He comes across as a very genuine, down to earth guy, even though he is easily one of the biggest rock stars on the planet!

I research chit like crazy. I can't help myself. Sometimes I get it right first try, sometimes I don't.

What's the difference between the 61.64's and the 65.64's?

61.64, the Seb turbo's? I am not sure. they are custom ones he spec'd out. Compressor is the same as mine. He changed the trim on the turbine side. Looks like he has the larger turbine wheel. The compressor starts running out of the efficiency range at 25psi of boost. IAT's start to climb.

The other thing is, If I get it wrong, the motor has to come back out to switch turbo's. That is the only sucky part about a Fast Intentions turbo kit. Doing development work is not cheap at all. I would rather chase my tail for a couple of months before I make a decision on what to do. I got time.

Spooler · 11-24-2021, 11:26 AM

My turbine wheel ran out at 29psi of boost at 10:1. 28psi was 996whp and 29psi was only 1004whp. The turbine became a restriction.

That is the crazy part about all this. Learning what does what can only be done by testing.

Wouldn't Tial have an idea what turbo's would be best for your application?

Not a bunch of data on a VQ37VHR twin turbo. The data I have shows me where I need to go. Where those turbos will run out I do not know until we test it.

FWIW, Tial technical support is top notch. They were working intently with me on my bov flutter issue. Couldn't ask for a better company to work with.

My choices are limited with the Fast Intention cast manifolds. The right thing to do would be to have a set of custom tubular exhaust manifolds made and put in a pair of G35-900. Unfortunately, money will limit what I do. I do not have an unlimited budget.

Well, I have driven it twice since the last O2 code. No issues. As long as I get the cylinder temps up, all is well. It does have something to do with the fuel I am running since I do not run pump E85. Vince warned me of it when he tuned the car. He said to look out for a little stumble until I get the cylinder temps up. The only time I get an O2 code is when i putt around.

Down to my last barrel of E90. About time to order some more. LOL Thank goodness I don't have to put my car away like you folks do up north. I would be miserable. Nick's startup map works like a champ. Starts first try.
