Zombie's "Quick Spool" valve testing with pics and nerd like graphs
Will have to wait to find out if it will improve or not, 9's are not easy. Was going to go to the track tomorrow but I just found a pretty good sized oil leak. Don't know exactly what it is but I'm suspecting it's the oil return line or the rear main seal. Don't want to chance it getting worse or drip oil down the track no matter how much I hate LVMS. I thought it was just excess oil burning off from when I coated my engine bay from the oil cap not being on tight but the top of the engine is dry since I cooked it all off.
It's a real bummer, I wanted to see how the car could do with track prep

JK lol. I do have a buddy who lives in Vegas and says I am always welcome to stay there. I'll try to make it out there this year......JUST TO BUST YOUR SPOKES!!!!!!! lol
PS---I'd be worried about my tow rig making the haul across the desert lol.
Maybe I can rent a UHAUL LQ9 truck lol. I'll beat the crap outta that. My truck HATES pulling grades. Likes to drop to 2nd gear and rev to the moon forever lol.
Guys the valve does work GREAT indeed as we have tried some homemade ones before. You will need a twin scroll housing for it to work though. All our Borg Warner all the way up to the custom 88's and 91's are twin scroll. Also the FI-88X all the way to our FI-98X is twin scroll optional as well. Also the GT42's, and GT45's in DBB and Non DBB are also twin scroll, AND, for you rear mount guys, we have the TC76's and TC78's in twin scroll as well!!!!
Zombie told us he was going to test this and post the results once he had everything done...I'm glad he did. Great job Zombie....let us know if you need something else. Jose wants to get that car in the 9's even way up in the clouds where your at...lol

Verdad Gallardo I won't know for sure what kind of gains I got from the turbo upgrade if any until I get on the track and it's hooking for me. The 131 mph on 13psi isn't too bad, but it was spinning the entire pass. I think it should go 133-134 on 13psi as long as it hooks up. Hopefully I'll have better luck on my next track outing.
It is possible that I have hit the wall and my tiny i/c piping is at it's flow limit.

all the exhaust gas gets diverted to one side incresing the velocity heat and volume to aid in spool and in essence you halfing the A/R...once it reaches a preset psi it opens then the housing's other side isnt blocked off and allowed to use both side of the twin scroll and......

Hello this is Richard. I just got back from the NMRA race in FL, so sorry I have not been on here yet. I don't want to do any advertising until I talk to someone about sponcership of the site.
So if anyone can help me with getting this done please contact me.

If you hooked on the same PSI you would run a quicker ET at a slightly lower (or the same) MPH.
No, there is only one turbine wheel. If you block off one of the volutes on a divided housing you now have 1/2 the a/r you originally had. A 1.0 a/r becomes a .50 a/r. It's not exactly half though due to some bleed over that occurs inside the housing. As pressure rises the valve open the other volute up and you go back to the 1.0 a/r. You now have a variable a/r turbo.
I'll try to get some video of my car spooling this week.

There should be a 1800 number listed there too.
Thanks,

It would be just as beneficial on twins as it would a single. You could run much larger a/r's or even turbo's with divided housings, a quick spool valve, and have the same spoll with more power potential.
