FA20CLUB Turbo Kit 10 PSI Preliminary Testing
 

Long day all around got to throw the car on the dyno to test our new base tune we finalized this week and decided to crank it up a notch and see how she liked it. Car runs even better on the new base tune than before and bumped up power on same 5psi level. When i ran her up to 10 psi we got 337hp 255tq. This was no timing changes mainly just the improved cam phasing and a few other things to make driveabilty better on the current kit. Next week we will complete the test with E85 on the same boost level and see what we get before we push it a little more. sorry just a crappy cell shot the dyno printer was dead. ill be back next week anyway so you guys get a sneak peek for now.

With all this money you're making surely you can afford a better phone than

Lol

i go through phones like no tomorrow. the dyno screen is actually a TV so its interlaced SMH

wait .... 337/337 at the wheels... on 93?!?!?!

LOL typo, like i said long day today

Still 337whp/255wtq is record setting for 93 octane alone... This is what i'm aiming for... I am increasingly more pleased with my choice to go with FA20club

Very nice! Might have to pay you guys a visit some day.

once i finalize the boost control settings for of kit im sure i could hit 350hp on pump easily but thats wouldnt be recommended for most only for those with balls of steel LOL @lexusb3

Well, you'll be tuning mine!

and when you're done i'll be hitting the dyno and returning some logs and dyno graphs to you for dialing in the safest highest WHP we can get with out walking that high temp knock line..

Nice!!!

:party0030:

Awesome. Which turbo was this with?

sick! in the future to avoid cell phone dyno plots, you can hit print screen, open MS Paint and click paste, that way you get a good quality screen cap.

i would have if i have a jump drive of network access on the dyno pc

trade you a jump drive for car parts...

Use CutePDF as your printer...print to a file (name and save)...save to local disk, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc...post to Flickr, Photobucket, etc for high quality full screen shot

BOOM!! Done

Love the kit!!

Back to the results

very nice numbers so looking forward to things to come!!!!!

wow! Impressive!

Which of your turbo configuration are you using

the was the original 60 trim kit

awesome, looks lik 10 PSi gives the EXACT numbers i was hoping on 93 and looks like brandon needs a clutch now lol

IIRC you told me in a pm that 9 psi would run just fine on 91 cali gas. Would you still say that I can run 9psi on 91 without having to worry about knocking after this 10 psi test you've done on 93?

boost is not the only thing that determines whether a car will knock on 91. timing is another important factor. there is a guy on here that runs 14psi on a stock motor, just with a lot less timing that the guys running 9-10. the make roughly the same power.

so yes, you can probably run 10+psi on 91. you'll just likely have to pull timing to keep it from knocking.

yes correct as i told him prior he can still make the same power but will most likely require more boost because of the more conservative timing curve for 91 octane factored in

clutch is in. thats what we waited for to turn it up.

our Auto 57 trim putting in work LOL with my most conservative tune

Do you know about what RPM full boost is being achieved with the 60 trim? Also, when I get this, I'll be carless, muffler delete, 2.5" all the way back. Will this make it spool a little earlier?

Is there any turbo you offer with the kit that will spool the same as the 60 trim, but higher hp potential?

Thanks

are the t3/t4's you're using in these kits oil/water cooled or oil only?

Is there a preference in the community? I assume with a watercooled turbo, you won't need a turbo timer?

exactly. arguably you wouldn't in either case, but these cars run high oil temps. not sure if that makes it better or worse, just wondering.

"NEED" is subjective. Turbo timers are great at extending the life of your turbo and making you look cool at car meets :P

it's like a catch can.... not required but always encouraged.

Tony,

What injectors are you using for 10psi pump gas tune.. i ordered the 550's but i'm thjinking they might be on the small side for 300+whp

Nice numbers and congrats! The 60 trim is still impressing and I'm happy 10 psi is tuneable on pump gas.

Turbo timers I'm sorry are just never needed for anyone but maybe autocross guys that want to lock their car and walk away after a run. Now if you like gadgets it won't hurt to have one :) but at least get one that does something else like read boost.

The key to good life with a journal bearing, oil cooled only turbocharger, is just to run really good synthetic oil. I've been using journal bearing turbochargers exclusively for years, some water cooled, and some oil only, and they hold up great. Unlike ball bearing turbochargers you don't restrict the oil flow so they are flooded with much more oil than a ball bearing. They are also cheap and easy to rebuild just about anywhere.

On my car, which at 10 psi + I think a proper air/oil separator is pretty critical in reducing oil consumption. I was getting a little smoke until I installed our Competition Catch Can we use on our STis.

I must be making more power than I thought running 14 psi on E85 as I'm +5 degrees more timing than what Tony and I discussed compared to his pump gas maps.

Dam toni, ur setting it up so SoFlo has the fastest street FR-S's around. And I no at least 3 more of us coming ur way

WOW im so late hahaha, yes this car is amazing i just cant get enough of it. S/O to, tony @FA20Club.com for making this car a monster!! a video will be put up soon after i finish up a lil more things, but once its at the 100% mark including detailing my car hahah i will share with everyone!!! again if you dont follow my build thread the car has a clutch(ACT) and a full exhaust now with fa20club boost kit!!!:burnrubber::burnrubber:any question on my car feel free to Pm me!

maybe i can claim florida :) hehehe

Any idea between the differences of the CM fx300 and act puck style?

Want to see real dyno!

Great numbers but I'm really curious to see if the tq curve is as flat as the one @5.3psi

also torn between these 2 clutches
