Boost gauge

I had my SAFC 2 set up along with my HKS FCD and Sard FPR, i managed 145.5 hp @ the wheels @5850rpm, my torque was 134.5 @5380 rpm. (will post up graph soon) I am only running just under a bar of boost on the standard CT9, couldnt believe how much of a difference it makes when we slightly advanced the ignition timing via distributor and it made an extra 10HP, however didnt go to far as it was causing det. Not sure if the result on paper justifies how much power its got considering what iv done, but it does go very well on the road now so iam not to fussed:drive: what do you guys & girls think?

tbh dude its not all that gr8 for the work done u need to get a big turbo on there to get some real power from it as ur motor car take a lota boost now . i made 157.5atws at 1 bar on a stock engine with 150k kms on it . also u have to keep in mind ur engine is low comp now so it will make a bit less power at the seam boost as a stock engine

Yea thought it was low i am gonna get a bigger turbo not 100% on which one yet, only reason i got it set up was because i kept hitting fuel cut and wanted to makesure everything was good, my next thing is definetly a bigger turbo maybe a hybird not sure yet

with the advanced ignition timing the way its been done off the distributor you knock the overall torque off the top end. you gain lower down torque and better spool up though so its a trade off when you do it like that.

if i just built a forged engine i would be fitting a wepr td04 kit with ex w/g even at 1.1 bar they make v good power around 250 hp and there pritty low lag

Yea iv definetly noticed with the spool up time, not to bothered about top end as much, it was an experience today seeing it on there, i was just so happy it didnt blow up lol (ive had some bad times recently with the bloody thing, but stuck at it) once iv paid off the rest of the money i burrowed for forging the engine i will be buying a better turbo and see what it makes then :rockon:
