******* Lujan, they blew up a ton of cars, forgot all about them.

 

It was 100% stock from oil pan to valve cover. Basically a stock car with a clutch and a turbo kit.

 

Im pretty sure infra has a zzp 2.1

 

He does. Tyler is talking about Jon. Jon made 508 Taylor made 501

 

Exhaust leak found. Anyone else hate installing turbos by themselves?

 

What gasket did you have on there?

 

Did you use copper gasket spray?

 

Orginally i used the gm gasket and put rtv ultra copper on "all exhaust components" as per zzp instructions. Lasted 2 years and then got the annoy exhaust tick on start up, ***** like nails on a chalkboard to me. This time around I cleaned everything off and I'm not using anything but new gaskets. That grey stuff on the top of the manifold is propoxy20, like jb weld but better and actually withstood the heat of the manifold without smelling like **** for days. Helped me track down where the leak was coming from.

 

Taylor made 508 on updated graph. Jon still made more tq

Difference is Taylor has PLETY more left on the table

 

S256 will make more torque, especially on 6 more lbs of boost and more timing. I'll need to turn up a bit to see my torque curve start to look like that. Also, as you go up in turbo sizes, you will fall farther and farther away from a 1:1 hp to tq ratio. My turbo is just coming into its efficiency range, as the graph shows, BUT I will finally be able to let her eat a little this week

 

everything is ordered for my car. need to find someone to make charge pipes and it will be road worthy. also need alan to finish the pcv setup!

 

Exactly. People were blown away by your car. Those of us in the know are even more excited because we can see that was just the beginning of its potential.

 

New turbo just got here. Going in now

 

I like that similar to the new route I'm taking. Specs?

 

S259 batmo wheel SS housing

 

Its my turbo on steroids!

 

looks like most of my parts will be in by the weekend. downside is im broke unless i sell all my s/c stuff laying around. so charge pipes are on hold

 

I used an ebay kit i think was for a mustang and it fits pretty well actually. Only had to hack up one pipe. You probably dont want 3" piping though.

 

OMG the sound of the s259 batmo compared to the s252 et. Made me fall in love with my car all over again. Going to try to get some vids if weather is good. I can't wait to start turning the boost back up.

 

i will get something in the works. goal is by the end of the month because i want to take it to ced


is that dyno low car friendly alan? want to see what the cobalt makes on a mild retune

 

OHHH Hello motor is going back in this weekend taylor ill be there with you in the barely in the turbos efficiency range lol. Until I finish my return and grab some 2000cc injectors

 

11s Alan lol car went 12.0 multiple times with slips to back it up. And no one believed 11.95 when there were people from the forum that were there that night lol

 

Yes. No problem at all.
I meant to say broke past 12. Either way, I wasn't at all saying it didn't happen. I was just using it as an example of if you don't have proof, most people aren't going to believe you. It's sadly just how this world works.

 

New fuel pump shows up today! Then mine will be sent back to AEM so they can tell me why it wont hold any more than 40 psi at WOT.

 

I guess I'll add to the turbo ****
