Added my new data. 3rd earliest spool. PhilMD's data (2nd fastest) isn't at 4th gear on the street, it's on a dyno, which may produce a spoolier result.

VVT head got me like 250 RPM of spool.

I should also note that I have uncontrollable boost creep (past 20 psi) with this setup above 5500 rpm, even with a Tial 38mm wastegate mounted right to the collector :(

 

Dump tube?

 

WG probably at right angles too...

 

ohhhh i need to find a boost log of my t3 50 trim chinacharger compared to my t3 60 trim.

 

1-1/2" tube, probably about 24" long before it merges back into the 3" downpipe.

 

What wastegate doesn't require the exhaust to abruptly change directions? The wastegate itself is a 90 degree angle.

 

Id try not doing that.

 

Build motor and enjoy creep

 

VTA isn't really my thing.

I have a .86 Tial housing on order, I will try that first. It should be a pretty easy swap, given all the v-band connections!! I hate to lose my 14 psi at 3150 rpm spool, but if it works it will be a helluva lot easier than going to a 44mm wastegate, or twin wastegates, or anything else that requires extensive welding and fabrication.

wow that is an efficient setup right there. torque under curve must be insane. Got a dyno plot?

 

There’s one in my build thread but my wastegate was leaking during that dyno run... nevertheless with 14.5psi boost it made 265lbs around 4K so I’m happy.

I wanted to post my values before tuning my EBC. I'm honestly not very happy with the results. I expected to be at 20psi before 4k. I guess the smaller wheel of the 2860rs is offset by the .84 exhaust housing vs the .64 of the china 2870.

AFTER EBC tune:

 

Can we add another field to this survey? Altitude. I've been trying to research altitude vs spool loss and I haven't had much results. Soon enough I should have datalogs for where I live (7200 ft elevation) vs Albuquerque (5200 ft) - but I'm more curious of the differences between sea level vs 7k+ feet.

 

***Edit: I found a couple days after posting this data that my wastegate was loose...really loose. Retuning for what will hopefully be greatly improved spool and will post new results when I get them.


Still working on the tune, but I don't think I'm going to get spool times down much more due to the crappy manifold and dp, no matter how much timing I throw at it. So here it is.
