FA20CLUB Turbo Kit 10 PSI Preliminary Testing - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

djliquidsteele · 06-28-2013, 02:23 PM

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.

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

DriftZen · 06-28-2013, 05:47 PM

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
