compression decision

O&G

I don't know anyone else running 9:1 so it'll be nice to see how the car performs in the next week or so on some pump gas and hi boost! My tuner didn't want me to release one of the break in tunes he did on my car with timing adjustments, but I can tell you it was very impressive at just 16lbs of boost! I'll start a new thread on it when JTran gets verified as a forum sponsor, I got flagged for repping the shop too much! I'll also be taking it to a dynojet to get similar numbers to compare with everyone else as our Mustang dyno reads very low, we have to adjust to about 13-15% to get dynojet equivalent numbers.

And yes, I fall under the "weekend warrior" column!

So at 800whp, is your plan to leave rubber trails everywhere you go?

Your wealth of knowledge! It's astronomical cliff! Lol yes this gave me the answers I seek! I got both questions delt with in a timely manner even! Charles helped me seal the deal on compression and yourself on my path forward with the turbos. Thank you! All of you! Now I can continue with my build. I believe the HTA will be the most "cost effective" route per say to go being that to have both of my current turbos rebuilt would put me at only the cost of one brand new gt3071. I think I shall contact Dan with fast intentions as I believe tony is still on vacation to find out just how long the turn around time was on Djtodds HTA rebuilds. I don't quite have the 3000 for the alpha housings right now so for now ill stick to just the compressor wheel upgrade. I think that will give me the results I seek anyway. I'm not really trying to go a single hp over 800 Ill already need to invest in race logic as it is.

Squeeze do you think I can get buy with my full 2.5" F.I. CBE no res w/non res TPs for now or do I need to just cut my losses now, put it up for sale and use the money to get a turbo back 3" F.I.? Talking to John he thinks my exhaust will suffice for now but clearly ill want to upgrade it in the future to optimize the flow of my turbos

For your goals I really think all you need is HTA upgrade compressor wheel upgrade.Buying a new set of turbos is going to cost you $3000 this is the reason I recommended giving force performance a call they have been doing HTA turbos for years. I men't to ask you do you have external wastegates ?






I think you can get by with your exhaust for now tell you find the limit of it.

Yeah I'm definitely going to send my turbos out to them hopefully their customer service has gotten a little better though as I am hearing a lot that they don't meet their 3-5 day turn around and pretty much tell you to kick rocks it will be at your door when it's there lol. I'm in no rush to get the build done; yeah I would like to have my car back but I want to do it right the first time and be done for a while. As of right now I'm on IWG's but for this build I will be building EWG's and running open dumps. We saw some slight boost creep when I was on the dyno with my IWG's and I think it was because I have a GTM gate on one turbo and an HKS on another. They are both "supposed" to be .4 bar but I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Good to here that your swictching to external gates .Getting your build done right the first time around is the right thing to do .This is something I wish I did with my build my first time around.

Yeah John(tturbo370) told me the very same thing I guess you could say I've learned from observation watching you guys slowly over the last two years and some of the headaches y'all have dealt with. I'm just trying to steer clear of all that if I can help it. I know the process is never perfect but I think a little homework now will make all the difference in the end
