Default Ls1-2 dsm-0

Last night a few of my buddies from high school/college decided to go for a cruise. One of the kids has a DSM with a T-28 at 25 pounds. We were just messing around, started somewhere between 40 and 50 and let off around 90-100, ran twice. Both times he took the hit, I jumped to put about a fender on him (LS1 torque ftw) and when he shifted to third the spool up killed him. By the time he hit full spool I was already in third and had a little over a car on him. Pretty much even from then on.

Resuluts: At full spool our cars were about dead even, not sure if he can no lift shift but if he can it would be a lot closer.

...and at the end of those my check engine light came on...

The code is for my IAC. I am not sure if it is just a problem with the ported TB yet or what. Nothing too serious.

Just trying to throw some humor in lol

Not sure how the ls1 TBs are but I know for the LT1s alot of people have to drill the hole out larger to get the iac counts correct in aftermarket TBs. Try a search in the ls1 section for it. I don't know diddly about ls1 lol I'm stuck with my slow lt1

T-28 and spool time hahahahahahaha. That thing is smaller than a hair dryer and I'm not joking. Those things start losing power after 20 PSI and I bet he was runing the car to redline which is another mistake. That thing runs out of steam by 5.5K and should hit a wall by 6K. Also he should see full boost by 3K, no reason he shouldn't be racing from 3K and above.

The turbo is an FP28. He said it flows basically the same as a big 16G. He also said boost does not drop off all the way to redline. As far as how high he was revving it, I am not sure.

Just to give you an idea, make a circle with your pointer finger and your thumb. The turbo compressor inlet is about that size, and full boost is easily 3K or less on a 2.0L. As far as flow, the B16g should flow more at around the same spool up and hold boost longer. The boost should fall off in the upper rpms with semi-stock turbos and potentially cams and intake manifolds. I run a 100% stock short block with an E16G just a little bit bigger than the B16G with HKS 272 cams and it hits 25PSI around 3.3-3.5K and starts to drop boost off around 5.5K and by 7K it only has around 20PSI. Best shift points even for my car is around 6000ish, with a bigger than stock turbo and cams.

Sounds like whatever he had, it wasn't enough. Excellent kill.
