Very interesting, robvas.
This guy (on a Camaro with a TVS 2650 blower) demonstrates it at 3.5 lbs 489 whp, 5.5 lbs 556 whp, 14.2 lbs 842 whp, and 18.5 940 whp.
3.5 lbs - 489 whp
5.5 lbs - 556 whp
14.2 lbs - 842 whp
18.5 lbs - 940 whp.
They claim in the comments that the heat is...
But, yeah, for those getting caught up in stupid internet arguments or any tangents from the thread, or just now looking at this thread, here is the purpose:
Can you turn the boost down low on a Hellion kit?
You can't on a Whipple kit. You can turn it down a very little from what ships with...
I am not sure why you posted or which post you are addressing. If it is the one directly above yours, post #20, he did that when the tuning had not yet been unlocked for the S650.
So, yeah, the goal was to do a twin turbo with what he could using what was available at the time.
This meant no...
My little ones were up at 5:00 a.m. giggling and running around downstairs . . . so the dog got up and wanted to go out, and the kiddos were wanting to get into the presents . . .
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.
I haven't been back recently, although I really want to go. Your updated news that driving there is still mostly the same is very welcome news, indeed.
PS - I left 36 years ago, so we were probably in country at the same time.
ESS has a long history with boosting BMWs. They were a (very) small shop in Norway back in 1995, then sales exploded. When they opened a sales center in California about 20 years ago, sales took off again. They opened a manufacturing facility in Arizona and moved marketing and sales there...
In Germany, big trucks are limited to 100 kmh in most locations (62 miles per hour) where there is no speed limit for passenger cars.
Driving to the right still works.
Obviously, if you are 150 kph (93 mph), you are not going to be dangerously darting in and out of the right hand lane every...
Move over should mean all the way to the right. It meant that when I lived in Germany. Unfortunately, the law in Georgia applies only to the left hand most lane when the road has more than one lane proceeding in the same direction, so, if there are four lanes on the interstate, tooling along...
Do you know if you can lower the boost below 7psi?
The idea being, say, a 120 pulley for 93 octane on the street or even smaller for E85, but a larger pulley to get the boost down lower to generate less heat for an HPDE track day (still adding some power but not overheating the oil or, gasp...
Yep. The Georgia State Patrol was very aggressive about enforcing it when the law first passed (well, it was always there, but the legislature removed the part about the speed limit). Lots of folks were howling with indignation online about getting a ticket for "not speeding fast enough."...
Apparently not low enough.
I was researching and ran across a Youtube channel called Boyd Bumbera. He installed twin turbos on an S650 Mustang back before there was tuning (almost a year ago). He ran 6 pounds of boost and with no tuning, added race gas to the tank and stuck it on the dyno...
