I guessed once dialed in it would run 10.20's. The old b16a car I spent my youth working on or being the bitch boy around the shop was a low 10 sec car with around the same power levels.


Breaking the car into the 9's was much harder. Had to get away from single disc clutches and stock axles has with the extra power/bigger slick caused nothing but blown up clutch discs and broken vatozone axles.

Block is not decked. Head is milled a touch just for straightness. Oil pump is ported and shimmed. Running straight 30w heavy duty diesel/gas oil.

The turbo will not support another 10 psi. Its losing boost at high rpm as it is. I think it has something to do with the rpm were running. We were shifting around 8900.

Build cost is really unknown at this point. Its gone through a bunch of changes that have all improved the setup. But its not an expensive build. The cam is the most expensive part really.

When you ported your head and intake did you do just a port match job or did you use a flowbench?

Am I reading that correctly no LSD? :noel:


Title: Re: 10.54. What more you want ?
Post by: chris on March 16, 2009, 01:26:41 PM
I did the intake manifold. I have worked on flowbenchs enough I know what works and what doesnt. Proof in the pudding is it works.


Flowbench time is very expensive unless you personally own (10K)+ name brand units. When your porting manifolds for under 100 dollars to compete with CDM intake manifold like Bloxs sohc manifold that are horrible designs I have to undercut their prices. Also once you have worked/found out what works on a flowbench you dont have to keep retesting your work. Port work is an art form your hand will be pretty damn accurate after 100+ manifolds/heads.

A 50 shot will get you 75+ to the wheels, it really depends on how free flowing your hotside is.

The turbo will not support another 10 psi. Its losing boost at high rpm as it is.

Internal or external gate?  If external, what wastegate spring?

I think that it might be a wastegate issue, as in drive pressure opening your wastegate. I have run that turbo over 40psi and not had it fall below 40psi @4000rpm in a 5.9L motor or ~23600lpm vs your 1.6 @ 8900rpm ~14240lpm. The drive pressure on that turbo @ ~40psi in my experience has been (with a log mani and the 18.5cm housing) about 50 - 52psi or about 1:1.2 which is imho pretty safe, drive pressure to manifold pressure.

Post by: Dr. D-Series on March 16, 2009, 05:21:40 PM
Found one why its been losing boost. It was doing this on the dyno too.

Exhaust gasket on #1 runner was totally GONE and the 1 of the 2 bolts on the WG was falling out. BIG leaks. Ill have it all taken care of by the next track day. Im also getting my exhaust manifold flange milled since its pretty warped.

The 2 springs in the WG equal 20-21 psi. The boost controller is only adding about 4 psi.

Head was ported and I didnt follow any guides other than what my finger felt going through the ports. Took out whatever didnt feel right to me. Nothing special, but it seems to be working fine.

The turbo now SHOULD support more boost with the exhaust leaks fixed. Maybe we'll throw a couple more psi into the motor.

dvst8r - Thanks for the info, now im confident I was having issues only because of the leaks.

I think just a 50 shot will get the car near 10.0 to 10.1. We'll see.
Title: Re: 10.54. What more you want ?

Nitrous will hit somewhat hard and can cause traction problems, try for boost first.

Post by: dvst8r on March 16, 2009, 06:22:53 PM
You might want to try running a dp gauge, you can put it together cheap, goto HD get a couple feet of copper tubbing, drill and tap manifold, put copper tubing in a couple loose coils, add a compression fitting to go from the copper to normal nylon boost gauge. Go get a cheap air pressure gauge from HF or where ever, and done. Total setup should be under $25. This is a good tuning tool. In my experience this turbo should run 1:1 till about 35psim, and then climb slowly to about 1:2 at 40psim, and then will climb crazy after that and by 50psim your 75psi + drive.

If you do get to the point where you still need more out of the turbo GDS http://www.gillettdiesel.com/ (http://www.gillettdiesel.com/) has a 60mm compressor upgrade for $225. Or you can just jump to an HX40.  :noel:

Post by: Dr. D-Series on March 16, 2009, 07:00:03 PM
Were already running a gauge from the exhaust mani. But thanks for the info anyway.

Hx40 might be in the future. But i think Ill continue to use this one through NEXT year.

OK... I'm here to learn. I'm assuming this is so you can make sure the exhaust manifold pressure is less than the boost therefore not being restrictive? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It doesn't have to be less, but you should be careful once you get above 1:1.2 or so. In short it shows the limits of turbine flow.

 :P

I seem to have HG issues when I just crank the boost till it won't go any higher, the most I have seen with an H1C personally in my own vehicle is 52psim and it was ~83psi drive. That combined with the nearly 2000 degree egt's makes for very short lived HG's. I have heard of guys getting close to 60psi out of them though. I would love to see the kind of numbers a D would put down @ 50psim from an H1C though.  :-*

Huh, what a funny way to go about it.  I normally dump in racegas and then crank the boost until it won't go any higher.


 :P

I seem to have HG issues when I just crank the boost till it won't go any higher, the most I have seen with an H1C personally in my own vehicle is 52psim and it was ~83psi drive. That combined with the nearly 2000 degree egt's makes for very short lived HG's. I have heard of guys getting close to 60psi out of them though. I would love to see the kind of numbers a D would put down @ 50psim from an H1C though.  :-*


So if the turebine and or manifold becomes a retriction... how inneficient does it have to get before Boost starts to fall off.....  Reason Im asking is that I was seeing boost (and therefore TQ/HP) dramatically fall off above 7500 RPMs. I was assuming it was COmpressor being maxed out... But it could have been the turbiune housing... Actually I was thinking it was the turbvine housing moreso than the Compressor....   Hmmmmmmmmmmm... Shouldnt have that problem anymore but interesting...  but with a divided housin i guess youd actually need 2 sensors, or would 1 be enough if the length/ volume were exactly the same... Id really like to see where the new setup falls

why not have two ports, one on each volute, then one gauge.  not ideal, but it would work as long as everything else was running right

So if the turebine and or manifold becomes a retriction... how inneficient does it have to get before Boost starts to fall off.....  

In my experience, this very's from turbo to turbo, and from setup to setup, but I have been as high as 2:1 drive pressure to manifold pressure respectively, and boost was still climbing. I have yet to be able to make it fall off. I need to find someone with a chipped stock 1.8T as they are known for the tiny turbo that chokes and falls off. This maybe more due to the fail of an internal wastegate then actual turbo choke though?

 In my world of diesel, where you have pulling class's limited to charger inlet size (2.6", 2.8", 3" are all common class's) they run these chargers for all they are worth. There are pulling chargers in singles that will make close to 100psi, these typically are a non wastegated setup. Now guys with street chargers or 2.6" class chargers, typically run wastegates, and because most after market wastegates only have springs readily available up to ~25psi, and from again my experiance when you get about 40psi drive on a 25psi spring it push's it open.

So to combat this early opening you can either use: Boost pressure to the top port this only works for a bit till the drive pressure overcomes that as well, or drive pressure to the top port to help keep the gate closed until the desired pressure is hit, or run the wastegate completely on drive pressure, or higher budget race setups run closed loop c02 activation. This seems to be true of most gates is that as you get above 1.5:1 - 1.7:1 drive to pressure to rated spring pressure, the wastegate is starting to be forced open. So if for example: You had a 10psi spring, this would mean that by 15-17psi you would start to loose some of your drive pressure out the wastegate. Or if you had a 14 psi spring by 21 - 24psi drive you would start to see some loss.

Now to clarify this the only way you will get to 25psi on a 14psi spring is with some sort of boost controler, that will keep the wastegate from seeing the boost till you reach the 25psi. Again IMHO I think this is where you see a lot of setups that the boost falls off on there race tune is that they have a 7psi spring in the wastegate and then use the MBC or EBC to bring in the rest of the boost.

Ok let's bring this back to gasoline and it's counterparts, I know that there was a video recently of a DSM that runs a BW S372 @ 88psi. I can only assume that they ran it to that kind of pressure, because they were still making more power as they added psim.

Thoughts???

I was kind of hoping for a bit more of a response then that. After all you responded to what was probably the most insignificant point in my 4 paragraph's (the vw bit), but thanks for clearing that up anyway. I still wonder what kind of drive pressures they see at like 25psi +

Lock it down like make the truck undrivable? I am PMing a guy about 2hrs north of me, that has a 24v and is interested, I will see if someone can come up with a spare ecu for testing.

Post by: Joseph Davis on March 17, 2009, 11:42:14 PM
It'd brick the ECU, yah, or maybe just put it into the diesel equivalent of limp home mode.  I could recover it with a BDM and a copy of the stock program, but there's time down and all that stupid stuff.

The CR trucks, the ECUs are supposed to run in the ~$200 range used.  I expect the VP44's are somewhat cheaper.  I'll talk smack to my boy with the CR and see if he can hook something up.

Also, I can pick up a '94 GMC dually for the cost of scrap.  Runs/ran, needs batteries and has sat lo9ng enough the turbo needs rebuit.  Was bought with front grill/fender damage a couple years back.  The $EE ECMs are a known reverse engineerable quantity and would give me something to blow up in pursuit of diesel knowledge.

there was a place that i had bookmarked before my hd crashed this last time that had any and every kind of plexi/lexan you could want.  they even had 'clearance' items that were extra or cut or whatever for cheap.  i was thinking about getting some and seeing of i could mold them to stock windows at my friend's pizza place in his big ass oven

The difference is huge and why so many Hondas were running 10's for years before someone dipped into the 9's. 10's on a sohc is amazing already any faster speaks volumes for your dedication to this build.

I feel even with the added weight from the cage the car can go faster with a few more lbs of steady boost.

If it goes 10.40 or better with the cage and a couple more psi, I think it will go 10.20 with some juice,

Chris your the man.

Im gonna be running the car on sunday at Atco raceway. Its an event day which will be weird for me. But hopefully even with half a cage installed it will go faster than 10.54.

Im looking for a nitrous kit, so mayb late in the season we will see some low 10's or 9.999

He was selling the chassis like 6 months ago on here for like 500 bucks with no drivetrain. My assumption is he bought a nicer chassis to throw the motor in.

Mustangs dont get you laid sir. Corvettes and leather jackets get you pulling single 40 year old mom's thinking they scored a rich guy. little do they know that the blue book on the 90's vette is less than a newer civic.

Joe picked up a CRX that was a drag car. Lexan windows, one piece front end, custom suspension. He slapped his Vitara in it with my old topmount, but has not had much free time. Im sure he will post up once he gets to the track.

Hopefully the lexan isnt the cheap shit that scratches up easy that stuff is a death trap when sun hits it.

Ive been out of the loop for a while guys. My apologies. Oh wait. Fuck you all, I dont care.


The old shitbox is in my driveway. I just need to pull some parts off it before I junk it.

New car is a 85 crx. Dont know when it will be running to be honest. I made some mounts and dropped my z6 in it as soon as I got it. But never did much more with it.

To be honest im sick of cars. Im a full time mechanic that hates his job and by the time i get home I dont want to even look at another car, let alone fab a whole bunch of shit up for one.

Will it run this year ? Yea probably. But im not rushing to get it done either.
