"BADNEWS" makes 865AWHP @40psi

Went back to the dyno on February 10th and made:

Gate pressure (23psi) = 625awhp, 440 torque
25psi= 650awhp, 449 torque
30psi= 742awhp, 512 torque
35psi= 832awhp, 562 torque
40psi= 865awhp, 591 torque

You can see the power gains diminished bad when going from 35psi to 40psi. So I stopped there. I was suppose to make 915awhp @40psi. So I was off by 50hp. Something with the turbo is maxed out.

Great numbers but I don´t think it´s the turbo that´s holding you back, it´s the cams. My cams are advertised as 269 but at 1mm lift they are 236 and I have vvt to play with. And without active vvt I made ~560ft/lbs at the hubs at ~30psi. I´d say throw some Kelford 3-195-TC in there and see it come alive and hand down the HKS to someone looking for 600hp.

I sent Forced Performance an email about my dyno session. I just basically asked what they thought about it. If they believed my turbine wheel was maxed out. Or if he thought I had room left to improve in my setup. I told him I would really like to hit 900awhp just to say I did it but I don't want to stick much money into doing it.

The response I got is posted below. To me it sounds like his 1st guess would be that the compressor wheel is at its limit. Here it is below.

Ryan,

1. The turbo is rated at around 95lb a minute so usually at or near it's max shaft speed most people will see between 825-925WHP. It can be pushed further but depends on how much shaft speed it has left in it. Consider the big HP gains at the lower boost pressure and reaching a point at 40PSI where the gains were diminishing quickly I would hazard that the turbo can't spin much faster without risking damage.

2. You can possibly extract more power by improving how the air is able to move through the motor but since I don't know enough about your car or platform I'm not sure where to point you.

3. Is the 1.19 divided? If so that housing will act like a .95 open housing at max flow but without back pressure who knows if it's holding you back.

Unfortunately without a shaft speed sensor, egt, and back pressure it's hard to know how much if left on the table if any.

Thanks,
Michael

How does the duty on the boostcontrol look? If the turbo is running out of breath you would probably have had to ramp up the duty at higher rpms to hold the boost.

That looks pretty linear so I would guess you have some headroom. And with the higher comp ratio and running e85 right? Then you should be capable of reaching the upper area of the claimed 825-925whp range.

Good job Ryan. As to getting a bit more out of it, it does seem like you are nearing the edge of the turbo limits. But there might be a few things you could try depending on whether you think it is worth the expense to experiment at this point...

-intake manifold design - could go back to the drawing board and tune runner lengths for top-end. Also could be worth considering plenum volume and ensuring an equally distributed flow.
-same with exhaust manifold. I know Full-Race only says it's 'close' to equal length. Could go custom with RacerX to get a true equal length built, long runner design...
-What size is your IC piping? Could play with that...
-Other obvious things...triple check for any boost leaks. Check the Aeromotive FPR, they seem to all leak out of the top nut. Mine did...don't want to leave any power on the table for things like that...

Nice job . From 35psi it should definitely be in the 900 brackets you are consistent with the 90hp gain until the last 5psi which is 33hp that's a lot to drop. I think it could be a flow problem thou

1-Pretty sure my high horsepower per psi on an Alltrac is because of my intake manifold. It seems to perform better than most I see.
2-Exhaust manifold design is very forgiving when running a twin scroll setup like I have. I started doubting that also an research a bunch. With a twin scroll you can get away with smaller runners, shorter runners and non equal length to get the same performance as a perfectly tuned open housing turbo.
3-I have a 2.5" IC pip off the turbo and it expands to 3" before the intercooler. Then I have 3" all the way to the throttle body. I know Evos make 900+whp on just 2.5" piping
4-I will try a boost leak test. haven't done one in a while. But I really think the turbo is just maxed out.

Probably a turbo not able to flow anymore problem is my guess. What is your guess?

I was talking to one of my friends and he was saying the same thing I think the front stop.think a 76 front wheel will do

I think to get more power from this turbo I would have to do things that improve the Volume Efficiency of my motor. IMHO my weakest part on my setup is the HKS 3rd gen 272 cams. I could be wrong. I just have them set to HKS spec of intake-112, exhaust 115. Now when you compare that to other manufacturers specs they seem conservative. Or am I wrong? Anyone know a lot about cam timing?

It's better to compare duration at 1mm lift as it tells you how it ramps up. So an advertised 272 could have less duration than a 264 at 1mm and the thing we are looking for is time/area so a cam with more lift earlier gives more overall area for the time it's open (duration) as I mentioned in my earlier post I think Kelford 3-195-TC would be a good match for your engine.
