Can I please dyno my Durango for free?

 

I would have to agree...this was the first night we had it running and haven't officially calibrated it yet, that's tomorrow. Tonight was making sure all things were good and working. As for the torque multiplier,you are correct, hints why you put in the gear nearest a 1:1 ratio...

also, who needs race gas?
think about it

it was also nice having Shawn drop by tonight, as I haven't seen his face in forever

 

ritz, come by the shop and talk to MJ, ya'll might be able to work somethign out.

 

noshoes, i run alky injection, and about 23-24 pounds. maybe more, not really sure. my pressure sensor maxes at 22 pounds, and i hit the limit pretty hard and stayed onthe limit for awhile.

so if someone asks how much boost i am running, i don't really have an answer other than more than 22 pounds.

 

23-24 lbs sounds pretty realistic then. Engine torque and BMEP (brake mean effective pressure) are more related to cylinder pressure than horsepower, and cylinder pressure is directly related to VE (volumetric efficiency) and when dealing with forced induction, BOOST!

Typically, on a 4 banger, above 350 torque means you're running higher than 20 psi, and banzai's torque numbers are pretty high for a Mustang "engine torque" readings. Remember the Mustang usually reads lower than a dynojet, unless the operator starts fudging weather correction and gear ratios in the software.

That being said, I'd say you're hitting at least 25 psi on a teeny turbo to get peak torque values like that. Alchohol makes you INVISIBLE!

 

You're quoting magazine and internet folklore here, dude. There's no such thing as a 1:1 gear ratio when you think about it. To get the actual torque multiplication, you multiply the gear x the final drive. There aren't any 1:1 final drives out there last time I checked.

I've been in tune with the import industry since 1996. I know what people are doing to run higher boost on both small displacement and large displacement motors as safely as they can hack their way with the least amount of money possible through it, from water injection, to alchohol injection, to propane injection, to urine injection, to hot beef injection to (the best solution for a really high horsepower street car) dual octane fuel systems. Hell, people are even burning McDonald's fryer grease these days!

I just tend to give people more credit than they are due, and forget that there are still cheap ass people still try to run AFCs, and play around with alchy injection systems on stock turbos. (Car and insurance payments still kick people's asses, and people still try to live beyond their means)

See everyone on Saturday.

 

In addition, Banzai:

It sounds like you have a fun car, and I'd like a ride on Saturday if possible. I'll try to return the favor in one of those little MR2 thingies I play with.

 

I ALWAYS GET THE SHAFT!!!

I am with shawn(smooshie butt) Even the guys sig says, or atleast did at the begining of the thread, "2002 Suburu WRX 700+WHP" That sounds like a statement rather than a hope. Which is probably why this thread is here, because the confusion between dreams and reality.

 

Not trying to bust balls or piss anyone off,
But from what I understand you have only had one encounter with Shawn ( I could be wrong) Were you at the Perry Subaru meet? If so, then why didn't you confront him then? We both would have been more than happy to talk to you and get things straight. If you have doubts or questions that would have been your prime time. Anyways, maybe we can get this all straightened out another day.

Ahhh yes the over rated "Saturn" look-a-like.... great threads!

"the new set up is far stronger and bigger than the last and the reason why the number "700 plus" is being claimed is due to a guy in Iceland that is running a similar setup to mine ( I have a few more tricks than he does) and he has 730 AWHP and runs high 9 sec passes. I have the video of it. "

Hell I am surprised he did not just throw it out there that he was also running 9's. Pretty bold claim that you are going lay down the same numbers because you used the same parts. Many variables go into making HP, tuning being one, dyno tricks being another, and honesty about the other persons build would be another. People claim big numbers all the time, shops inflate numbers all the time, and some people like to keep secrets all the time.
