Boost controller and wastegates on blower cars
I'm doing this same thing on my new Top Sportsman build. Gear driven F3-136 on a 18* BBC, 16 injector on methanol. A turbo setup is not good for the type of racing I do with this car so boost via Procharger it is. I will be using CO2 on the gate however.
Assuming you are not changing gearing, 8 psi into the engine will be harder on the drive and head unit. When it makes 15 into the engine it will move less volume of air, this keeps the load in check.
Reducing the psi by reducing the inlet is better for the parts, but harder to regulate.

Hey Jeremy yeah Zach was the first to bring this to my attention and after doing a little research and everyone telling me it wouldn't work I had to try it. I looked at your car today and its alot like mine "out of room" but Im sure we could find a place to fit everything. When will you be picking yours up? Jeff said it would be done this week. I bet you cant wait, it should be a fun ride. thanks jeff
Should be down this weekend dependent on what kinda crap my car decides to pull last minute. I know exactly where I will be placing the WG. Can't wait to get my slow POS back.

I cant believe how good your car looks after Scott finished it. She should be fast. thanks jeff
I'm in the middle of the same thing. Just ordered a F1R for my combo. What size wastegate should I be looking at? I was also looking at the older style E-Boost. I want to run 16psi on my 91+meth tune and 23psi on an E-85

Hey man I only got to run 2 full passes both being basicly shake down passes the best being 6.33 @ 114 but we decided to turn up the boost for the 3rd pass and I picked up something in the water box and cut my L/R slick but still ran a 6.60 @ 13.5 on a flat tire. jeff

Ok I dont know if this will work but I have two scans from my hp tuners scanner that im going to try to upload on here but not sure if everyone will be able to read them or not but if not and someone has a better way please let me know. On the first scan we launched with 2 psi and ramped in to 16 over 4 sec. and the second we launched a 4 and ramped to 16 in 2 seconds. thanks jeff
