Victors turbo non-progress thread

[Justin86]

yea your standard T3 is nice, I'm using a 42/48. If you haven't read max boost, do and compare compressor maps. Find your est. VE and see what turbo will work best with the boost you are lookin for.

Although there isn't turbo specific mufflers listed you still may want to read this, there is a lot of good N/A tech exhaust tuning for anyone interested:
Post #13 talks about the Dynomax and Cyclone Sonic Turbo. Which were listed in the above backpressure chart...
http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showth...2&page=1&pp=20


Magnaflow
Hooker Maximum Flow

I just got a 2.25" Hooker Aero Chamber for a V6... I'll get some Idea of how it sounds on an N/A car.
HOOKER AERO CHAMBER
The above site where I got the backpressure chart from listed it as not being good for turbo... but I can't say if they oversimplified their opinion or not. The other site makes a better statement. I've looked the Aerochamber over and looked at the other site saying it showed 0 loss on a 375 HP motor. So if you're in the 300 HP range, I think the Aero Chamber could be another option.

If you like tha slant tip on that second muffler they are a dime a dozen.



Some other things on the side:
Someone on here posted some feedback (sound related?) on rolled-in vs rolled-out/flared tips.
You also have tips that have both the rolled-out and rolled-in but are made with two layers, the first layer rolls-out and the second layer rolls in covering the rolled-out part so you get a clean cylindrical tip.



I'll try and and some feedback on the sound difference if any of single-in/single-out tips vs the single-in/dual-out tips.




2.00" and 2.25" are okay for mild aftermarket improvements, we fall around 1.75" stock and thats what our cars come with, it doesn't account for the stock cat or muffler though. When you think about it the "DEMAND" for exhaust flow is not constant... as RPM increases so does the need to flow more exhaust.

125 hp x 2.2 = 275 cfm
1.75" Single Exhaust pipe flows about 275 cfm

163 hp x 2.2 = about 360 cfm
2.00" Single Exhaust pipe flows about 360 cfm

200 hp x 2.2 = 440 cfm
2.25" Single Exhaust pipe flows about 440 cfm

cat technology is getting better so you don't have to be illegal and ditch the cat alltogether to get good performance, and not many of us here are scrapping the bottom of the barrel looking for every last drop of power to win a 1/4 mile race.

Here are some high flow cats

Random Technology
Magnaflow Magnaflow Cat

CARSOUND
SMSP SMSP Spun Bodied Cat

Here is some good into on cats.

thinking about upgrading fuel pump, not sure on what i sholud get. any suggestions?

[AccordEpicenter]

walbro 190lph intank. Dont go inline, the stock pump will still be a big bottleneck

[Justin86]

I'm running a 3" Magnaflow universal XL (5"x8"x24" oval). At 3000rpm its 88dbs, which is very comfortable driving, not to loud, but still not stock.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

walbro 190lph intank. Dont go inline, the stock pump will still be a big bottleneck

i am going to check on ebay for that walbro 190. are they universal or do they go vehicle specific\

also while i have the takn out (do i have to take it ou to change the pump? ) what are some good products to use to clean the inside of the tank. i know i seen some stuff that eastewood sells the seal inside gas tanks

[AccordEpicenter]

they are pretty universal. Dunno about cleaning the gas tank, mine still looked like new inside

[MessyHonda]

well my mother has never ran out of gas and i dont think that my cars gas light never been. cuz everytime it was 1/4 of a tank i would fill it up. when i took out my gas pump i saw inside and it was drity. so one day b4 i changed the fuel pump and fuel filters i drove it till i had to gas left then took it out and changed out all the stuff and now i can feel the car takes off better. but it would not hurt to clean a 18 year old tank

[SQ is the SQUAD]

well we all have seen my dirty gas pic from when i changed my fuel filter. i know its a mess in there. good thing the car was nearly empty when i parked it

[truetune]

ah thats what I can use my 100 CD case thing for holding some nasty gas. yeah go with NGK plugs your motor will thank you. Im thinking that 2g DSM turbo you have will be fully spooled by like 2500 which is great for a solo car but youll want to go bigger if you want to see some killer top end. Looks like your comming along nicly on your setup. I would suggest going with a wideband set up for o2 sensors, will make tuneing less work.

['A20A3']

I gots a Walbro 255lph. I recommend you go with the same so you're never limited.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

there are a coupleof 25lph on hmt brand new for sale. thts a good prie on these?

[SQ is the SQUAD]

[snoopyloopy]

[SQ is the SQUAD]

[weiRtech]

[AccordEpicenter]

[SQ is the SQUAD]
