I'm same place. 420cc not enough to support the 13t, just put in FF. The TD04L-13t is still all I want, however. I just want to maximize it. From many builds, that seems to be about 235WHP.

See other threads about the futility of 19T wheel. Vlad says swap in a VF Something-Something to accomplish what you want.

Put your location in your profile, so it shows under your name in the posts.

Yes I’m considering a IHI vf something as well. I’m following your thread, nice work. How much boost are you running are are you with stock internals?

I have had excursions to 210 kPa with no known ill effects.

To be clear, I am staying with the TD04. I was only suggesting you go to the VF. I should be good with the 235 or so WHP, which should remain safe.

Question will be how much boost, and therefore torque, I apply at 4500-5000 RPM. In other words, the compressor map on the 13T should deliver the same HP at the lower RPM. That's my thought.

Wow, you may be the first Bulgarian. Welcome.

Thanks

Ordered the 19t billet wheel. I'm curious what its gonna be like. I may up the boost a little bit to 170-180kpa but wont go too crazy until I change the rods. Lets see what the bigger wheel can do :bigtu:

dyno or butt dyno? carpassion channel has a video on shinny billet wheels and their affects on butt dynos.

He did show an improvement on the dyno though, just not a huge difference. He figured its a 7% decrease in the amount of time to build psi at certain rpm ranges... or something like that :D

here's the vid if you're interested:

Right I played with open loop ebc today and added 3 psi which is what i wanted but a problem occurred. The AFRs started fluctuating like crazy. I used tune analyze live during the run but it doesn't seem to get any better. Do you guys think that the wideband needs calibrating or i just need a tuneup? Or could it be the stock 18 year old fuel pump with not enough flow?

If the issue started up top when you turned up the boost, then Id guess fuel pump as well. I also wouldnt try to autotune in boost like you seem to be doing just now!

Right. So I got a few bits ordered. AEM fuel pump and ev14 mustang injectors are on their way and made a hardwire harness for the pump while I'm waiting. Also I purchased a set of Manley rods from a mt member. I haven't opened up an engine before so I was wondering if someone could share some wisdom. Can I just install the rods with standard size acl rod and main bearings if the crank has no scoring? Do I have to change the counterweights on the crank for the Manley rods? Cheers

What about the piston rings? You're going to re-ring right?

so you're just going to do the rods now right? You have to pull the Pistons out for it. Will you just be dropping them back in or will you re ring them?

Check your injector duty cycle in those logs. The stock injectors get stuck open up fully at ~80% iirc , which can cause you to go full rich.
