I have my t-bird hybrid in along with downpipe and all the other (shizzle) I need. Dyno day is a couple of weeks away, but I still have a question. What boost should I run for the dyno? I want a decent level for the street as well as everyday driving. I was thinking 16psi is that gonna be enough? I'm aiming for 200hp and whatever insane torque the car wants to make.

good luck...sick was running 20-22psi (i believe) and hit 197 or so whp. are you going dynojet or mustang dyno?

here's what he said exactly:

My 195hp dyno was well over 200 hp before correction and that was with 155psi on all four and 20-22 psi.

 

[knightwing1508]

It's a mustang dyno.

 

[Zach]

mustang dyno's will provide a lower hp number...but it's a more 'realistic' number, since a real load is put on the engine. if your concerned about numbers, i wouldn't run on a mustang if i were you. the numbers will be around 15% or so lower.

here's what he said exactly:

But, if I remember correctly, this was on the RHB5 Vj11 (Stock)... C'mon sick, correct if wrong. On my T-bird, i'll be running probably a Dual-Stage MBC with 10psi low and 16-18psi high. That enough for a 13 High to 14 Low second car (With ALL supporting mods too).. so thats plenty fast for me.

 

[Zach]

no...this was with his tbird and his engine rebuild and headwork he had done...because running the stock turbo that high is just rediculous.

 

[KiNg MaRtY]

it was on the stocker. he will be running the T-Bird in the Nov. dyno

 

[Zach]

20-22 on the stocker? why would he push it so high?

 

[KiNg MaRtY]

I beleive it was more like 18, but if he did 22 it was by accident

 

[HotRodMex]

it was a spike I believe.

 

[crusty]

Lol.

1 US Hp < 1 Hp

 

[91MazdaMx6GT]

I beleive it was more like 18, but if he did 22 it was by accident

Yeah it was, he said he spiked to 22, but leveled out to 18.


the T-Bird would produce better numbers than that at 18psi. More along.. what- 210 to 220 Hp?

 

[knightwing1508]

So I can expect like 180-200hp possibly at the wheels or flywheel?

 

[Zach]

it would be at the wheels. on a mustang dyno, you're going to get lower numbers though. but if you hit 180-190 on a mustang, than I'd say you're doing very well

i hit 153 on a mustang on 11.5psi k&n drop in and exhaust. everything else stock. but i had 216ft-lbs. i'd imagine i'd get around 165-170whp and 230 on a dynojet.

Wrong. IHI RHB5 VJ11.

I have a Disco Potato at the shop but I haven't decided if I'll install it or sell it? I also have an IHI RHO6 coming in the mail.

 

[Zach]

the real GT28? i would love one of those...put can't justify dropping a grand on a turbo...lol

 

[SixSick6]

You also don't work for/at a turbo shop.

 

[Zach]

very very true...haha

i might hit up my turbo man and see what kind of strings he can pull for me. last time i was there he had a pair of HKS GT25 turbos he pulled from a skyline he was trying pawn off on someone....i might have to see if he still has one left....heh

 

[SixSick6]

You get me a part number for any turbo. Wait, any new turbo, from a reputable company, and I can get 10-15% off that price. I get 25-30% off myself.

 

[Zach]

sweet...i might have to use your services if i'm outta luck here...heh

but who knows....i'd like to upgrade my turbo, but at the same time, want to get what i can out of this one first. i know it's not much, but there's still headwork that can be done, better exhaust work, water injection, more efficient intercooler and/or cooling of the intake charge....just lots of ideas in my head...
