My 550s went from -26 from 5 to 7k on the AFC, to 0 across the power band

airflow number went from 23 to 24lbs of airflow on the T28/28 at 19psi, to 35lbs on the 50trim at 18psi

Are those numbers after the afc was changed? You added airflow if so(not trying to be a jerk )

Thats a huge turbo compared to the t2x's in that pic. I'm sure it flows like a MF, I think I want one .


Nice job!

 

If you're at 0 across the board on the AFC can't you richen it up?

Afc does more than just lean out your injectors

 

Did you find your EGT's to be a little cooler at highway cruising.
Mine dropped 40 degrees celcius. Normally with the 16g at 3500 rpm going 80mph EGT was at 800 now with the 50 trim it's at 760

 

I will be done installing mine on Wednesday as well. I will post a review here too, so watch for updates.

 

I can't richen up any more cause I'm hitting fuel cut. My HZ readings never changed from from richening the AFC settings from what I could tell.

 

Yeah,

I'll be going with the Green on my A/T, I'm anxious to see it in action.

Yea that turbo kicks ass . I still have the boost at the lowest throttle because my spring fell out of my mbc. Saving for a new one now.

The more air flow you show the computer, the sooner you'll hit fuel cut. Bigger injectors and will let him show the computer less of an airflow while still running the same ammount of fuel at the same boost levels.

 

nano-

you dont want to add fuel because your already hitting fuel cut? hahahaa, thats exactly what i thought was going on with me! read my review on my FP GREEN (it looks like we posted almost the same time!). you will see that i explain the exact same thing going on with my setup and 550s. guess what though... i richened things up across the board (around +30%) and now i can hit 22 psi with NO FUEL CUT all the way to redline... beleive me, i held the same theory as you "if im already hitting fuel cut, richening it up will make me cut earlier". this is NOT true in my case, you should at least try it.....

Crazy!! So you're saying when you richened things up above 0 fuel cut disapeard?? I'll give it a try. Thanks.

 

Tried that and it made the car run way worse and would stumble a lot. I did however noticed I had lots of fuel suddenly sometimes. Then I realized that my dejon intake only came with one extra small tube. I had it connected to the charcoal canister, I also noticed that my valve cover vent hose was sucking in air, so I thought this might of caused a huge vaccumm leak. so I unplugged that and plugged in the valve cover vent hose into the intake. It worked and I had lots of fuel at 20psi, and was able to lean the AFC out to -15%. Car was incredibly fast, HZ readings where at 2300hz. It started to pull very hard, and would pull very fast to 120mph. I couldn't belive how hard it pulled past 100mph. EGTs stayed at 850C the whole time. THen suddenly it started to run very lean again and would suddenly run .85v and the next minute .92v. It's fairly frustrating, can't seem to figure this weird thing out. Could I possibly be overruning my 2g maf?
I thought the valve cover vent could be vented out to the atmosphere, but when I did that on my car it made it run super lean.

I was also able to adjust the wastegate and got the car to run 14psi to redline with no creep, also got it to 24psi with the wastegaste at it's lowest setting and my Proffec B turned to max boost. I'm sure with the wastegated adjusted to a tighter setting it can easily run 28psi.

 

Wow, very nice nano. Just curious what trims that turbo is, as lately I've been thinking about going the exact route you did, but was curious what trims you used to pull off numbers like that. Those turbos are so cheap, but just seem so more potent than the old school 16g, I just feel like my turbo is beginning to become outdated, and that for a little more lag time I can have something much stronger. So you experienced now creep even at 14psi? What size exhaust piping are you running. What size wastegate do those things come with stock? What do you say you hit full boost by? When does boost begin to build?

 

It dosen't creep at all. It held 14psi to redline just fine. Starts to make boost at 3000rpm and reaches full boost between 3800 to 4000rpm, depending how much boost you're making.

What do you think about the 50 trim compared to your T-28? Any regrets about going with a larger compressor?

 

No regrets at all.. I'm very happy with it. I added some gas and it's running fine. It's defenetly pushing the limits of my 550s at 20psi. It's currently at -8 across the power and and running .96v. A little rich, but I'm still tunning. I just asked PTE for their 50trim turbo. It comes with a 7.5cm turbine housing, .60 a/r compressor housing, and a t31 turbine wheel. They also come with an adjustable waste gate, you can boost anywhere from 14 to 28psi with it. It's right on their site..

I have a 2.5" down pipe, 2.5" test pipe, and a B&B craft 3" cat back.

 

I wonder if a full 3" turboback wouldnt help this turbo breath more than what you have. Also if I were to do that would it creep. These turbos are just so cheap compared to a BB version and I'm looking for just over 400awhp, nothing close to the 500-550 the BB ones are putting out.

 

2 questions was that a pic of your heatshield on with this turbo? And is that a dejon tool 3 in intake pipe?

 

My buddy has a full 3" turbo back on the same turbo and he's holds 15psi to redline.

 

No regrets at all.. I'm very happy with it. I added some gas and it's running fine.

That is great. Sounds like a fun turbo - enjoy!

 

I got mine installed. I can hold 11 psi to redline. This turbo rocks. I'm getting it dynoed on 6/30. I have Evo Xmani and Evo O2 housing with RRE DP and 3" Dunk Apexi with a RRE hiflo cat. When I hit 4000 rpm it's like having nitrous. My Small 16g would give out at 6000 rpm but this turbo pulls hard to redline. I'm gonna try and stay away from race gas, try is the hard thing. I want to see what I can do on pump. With the 16g on 112 my best was 12.7 at 106. I want to at least get that on pump. My butt dyno says no problem. I guess we'll see.

 

How much persuasion did you 2G guys have to do to the water pipe with the T04E compressor housing?

 

I have a 21oz hammer. I just had to ding it a little bit not much really. The water line bolt in the block got in the way also, but that was fixed by rotating the compressor housing.

 

2 questions was that a pic of your heatshield on with this turbo? And is that a dejon tool 3 in intake pipe?

Yeah all the stock shielding is on with it. I have an EVOIII O2 housing and the stock shielding bolts on to it no problem. Yes that's a dejon tool 3" intake pipe.

I'm going to have to get 660s soon. 550s isn't cutting it, and it'll run lean sometimes when the engine gets warm.

My buddy has preaty much my same setup on he's 97GSX, well he's a 5spd. Except he's got stock cams, and I got crower stage 2 cams. The Cams sure make a world of difference with this turbo. It feels way torquier at 4k plus, and the top end is crazy, compared to he's stock cams setup. It really wakes the car up big time when used with a big turbo like this one.

 

Just to let you guys know this turbo performs a lot better with a cam upgrade on 2g cars. Just as an example my buddy has preaty much my same setup with stock cams, and he only gets 1950HZs, and 24lbs of airflow on the logger. My car with crower stage 2 cams gets 2300hz and 35lbs of air flow on the logger. Both cars are at 20psi. I worked on, and tuned he's car as much as I do on mine, and it's just about as much as I could get out of he's setup.

 

Nano

Just wondering if that is the oil return line from the dejon tool kit?
