Re: Who is up for a midwest chapter?
 

Well about 2 days ago I decided it was time to raise the boost and see what I really could push the car on the stock internals up to.

So here is the video I shot earlier this morning, I keep running up on traffic to quickly so I had to roll the throttle versus the full on assault it is capable of.

No Sound on Vid sorry for that: http://www.turbo-wagon.speed-factor.com/vi...video/17psi.avi

Re: Dropping the oil pan...
 

Wow nice, it looks like you hit around 17 psi?

Re: Any Hunters here? Caution: Graphic image of dead animal
 

Yeah it is at 17psi Now on Stock Internals 10.2:1 CR. lol.gif :twisted:

Re: About ARK
 

wow, that is impressive, so u have nothing done to internals eh, i guess that our beta engines are made to take a beating....

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

Yea makes me feel good about running around 10 after i finally get a Turbo kit.

Re: My new box :) *with pics*
 

hold on, 10:2.1 CR? :?

Help me choose: Stock or New wheels *** w/Pix not links***
 

Sorry I meant 10.0:1 CR lol.gif

And there is nothing done to the Internals of the car, it is the same as if you bought it off the lot. :twisted:

Re: Help me choose: Stock or New wheels
 

What do you run it normally at?

Re: About ARK
 

i am answering for him, but i think tim is running at 15 psi

Clutch problem
 

What have you done for tuning so your engine doesn't blow up? I assume safc2, did you change fuel pressure at all, and do you have anything for spark?

Re: OZ-BBTB
 

No I run 17psi daily now, and it has a SAFCv1, MSD Dis 2, Stock GST Fuel Pump, FMU, and 340cc Injectors.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

Re: My new box :) *with pics*
 

Do you have an automatic or do you know if the automatics can take the turbo 10 psi? I talked to a local shop that does a lot of turbos and they said atuos can't handle it. They want $5000 for the kit and instal I think I can choose the kit (Extream is what I have been looking at).
Will it be ok if I don't give it gas during the shift?

Yes I have an Automatic, and it never drops the boost in shifting and I don't let off when it shifts.

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

How long have you had it on? And do you think I should put it on myself during the summer, when I have time,or pay the shop $2000 how hard can it be. My dad can help and I think I can get some of my friends too.

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

I have had it on the car for 6 months and not 1 slip on the tranny, also (some may argue) but my kit can be installed by someone with a medium level of car experiance, i.e. working on cars.

If you can change belts, spark plugs, and oil, you can put on this kit. Also you will need to have an assortment of tools aswell.

Re: Any Hunters here? Caution: Graphic image of dead animal
 

THATS REDICULUS MAN!!! WOW!

It didn't seem to speed up that fast though. Maybe it's just me.

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

i have done my oil, new seat belts,4 point, and transmission fluid
I think my dad has almost every tool, what are some of the unusual ones you need?

Re: Quick question to Tim
 

OP I was barely on the throttle cause of traffic, I think the SAFC was showing 50% throttle on that run, I will have some more vids to show the speed later with a wot blast.

Re: My new box :) *with pics*
 

Damn 17psi on stock internals!! That is so sweet! I am wondering what the hell I need my head spacer for with 11.5 psi LOL. smile.gif

Weirdest electricity-related thing i've noticed
 

Impressive. Makes me want a turbo REALLY BAD. 8O laugh.gif

I'll sell you mine! PM me!


Ohh I didn't realize that it was only 50% throttle, then it's very impressive!!!

Let us see some more videos.

Re: OZ-BBTB
 

I dont see how u dont get detonation with 10:1 compression, i mean, i dont know a lot, but everyone that i talk to says it is boarder line impossible...

Re: OZ-BBTB
 

Cool. NOT playing on the safe side though.

Isn't the stock compression for a 2.0L Beta 10.3:1 ?

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

I'm a 1.8l, and I don't see it as borderline it is all in the tuning.

So far I have destroyed every myth there was out there about the Beta motor and how much abuse it can take.

Thanks for the comments guys.

He's gonna say that all you gotta do is get your A/F ratios right....

I'd love to know how he tunes his car!

Re: Email Announcements
 

OP is right about the A/F being set at a safe level, I will be posting a lot of information that deals with tuning and what all is involed with it in the near future.

Re: Weirdest electricity-related thing i've noticed
 

I cant wait for Speed-Factors DIY tuning smile.gif Some good information is definitally needed, and you proved you know your stuff by running 17psi on Stock internals. You rock smile.gif

Re: National POW/MIA internet Blackout day ATTN:MODERATORS
 

Hay tim.

what size exhaust are you running...?
Do you have any dyno print outs? i'd love to see em.

do you get any surges at all?

have you got an external wastegate - what size?

what turbo r u using...

sorry for all the q's im interested as hell. wink.gif

Pretty sure it's 2.5in mandrel bent exhaust, no dyno as of yet, internal wastegate, t3 60super trim.

Re: Happy Turkey Day
 

this is the turbo kit he sells
http://www.speed-factor.com/store/product_...&products_id=63

Re: Subaru Rally crash
 

i think u guys are forgetting he is running a t3 super 60... 17psi on that is a lil differant than 17psi on a bigger turbo

while it is impressive i doubt its gonna survive that long

is that on 93 octane?

on 93 when i was @ 15psi i was getting slight knock... @ 12.5:1 afr

if u make it 10:1 there is nothing but hte power dropps

psi isnt that meaningful of an indicator

hell anybody can runn 30psi on a motor if they can maintain a 10:1 afr... it wont have much power but it will still be 30psi

not giving tim shit just pointing stuf out

FYI 17psi on a 2.0 beta with 12.0 AFR put me to 315 WHP

Re: Raised the Boost (Vid inside)
 

I hear ya Viper, only thing is Tim has been running at 13psi for quite some time now. He has slowly been pushing it a little bit further each time he posts. I agree that psi is not a good indication but coming from the 7psi he started at he's been making some serious strides.

I'm anxious to see what comes of all this punishment wink.gif

Re: About ARK
 

YEAH i didn't know what type of turbo he ran. hence why i asked.

8) still none the less. id love to see a dyno read out if he has 1

must be pretty responsive?? do you get much lag tim?

Re: Destroyed
 

so... everything is stocks in your engine?!..... even the tranny?... and your pushing 17 psi... whoa.... man,,... congrats...

what are the most psi you could get with the stock fuel setup???????....

his auto tranny is stock, and everything inside of his engine is stock as well besides the fuel crap.

I believe 8psi was max with his stock fuel setup.

rside shifter
 

He has a wideband but not a dyno. I'm sure he's tuned above 10:1 a/f. Probably 12:1

aww that vid is all messed up when i play it...just colored boxes...wtf my luck lol
