Over the weekend and on Monday Phoenix was at 115-118F ambient temperature, first real test with the new cooling system in place, large intercooler out front, and turbo adding a ton of heat into the engine bay.

Happy to report that the coolant temps were stable at idle and cruising, 89-92 C. It hit a high of 95 C on the highway at 75 MPH when in traffic (car in front creates dirty air, harder for the radiator to cool). When out of traffic it dropped back down to 93 C. Very happy so far. Oil was 100-102 C cruising/idle, topped out at 110 C on the freeway at 75 MPH.

The AC was ice cold the whole time, which surprised me.

Calibration is moving forward, below are some screen shots of a few parameters. I'm at the limit of this actuator's ability to hold pressure, so I am putting on a higher spring pressured unit from BW on shortly. Target will be 10-11PSI on 91 octane, and a bit more on E85.

All pulls were in 3rd gear. Should be able to get full boost by 3500, this turbo spools quick for how large it is! Will work on getting some videos up as well.

Should have a lot more updates soon, including some recently purchased parts and prototypes

.

Thanks,
Eric
