Awesome build, I think I know what combo I am going with . Not completely, but you give me some starting points. That thing has to be a blast to drive.

Enjoy,
Joe

Nice build man. Awesome numbers out of that. 71 degrees on the iat's! That is one hell of an intercooler if that's right. What was ambient? What were the temps at the end of the dyno run? Thanks man. Great build! Chris

temps started at 68 and went to 71. They were 73 when he turned the logger off. I think ambient temp was 61 inside, but not 100%. I'm guessing these turbo's at this low boost level aren't building much heat.

yeah that makes sense on the low iat numbers. I didn't read through the whole thread so I didn't know what kind of boost you were pushing. Pressure = heat.

Very nice build man. Just clicked it and read all 9 pages. Car sounds mean. What cam is in it (I probably missed it somewhere). I'd love to be able to go for a ride in that. Sounds like boost comes on fast, and i bet its a damn fun ride on the street.

Update. I got the intakes built from the turbos to the inner fender wells (4" aluminum) and took it out this past Sat. and Sun. It ran great! too good actually. I added some 110 cam2 and felt a little froggy so I stepped the boost up from 10 to 15 psi. Well I guess I'll need to back it down a notch cause she pushed water on me So now I'm in the process of pulling the heads and replacing the gaskets. Also while it's apart it's getting a wastegate upgrade from 38mm Tials to 45mm turbosmarts. I'm having some boost creep issues. I have 5psi springs in the wastegates and the lowest boost I can run is 10psi, then it creeps from 10 up to 14psi after 6k rpm. So I got a few bugs to work out, then I'll be in business. Damn boost is like crack, I gotta keep my digits off the Eboost 2!

Awesome build! Like the idea of how the turbos are set up!
I was looking at the numbers @ 14# and maybe its just me but i was expecting to see somewhere in the high 800s at that boost level..?
Whats the cu of the motor again?

Thanks! CI is 347. The numbers are a little screwed up because of the boost creep. Most of the pull was 9-10 psi untill I got up to 6k, then it would slowly creep up to 14 psi due to my wastegates being too small. I think the number would have been a good bit higher if I set it to 14 psi right off the bat. Problem is being solved as we speed though. I got my 45mm Turbosmart gates last night, now I got something fun to do this weekend!
