Author Topic: Dyno run with Total Performance Turbo kit at 7psi S-281 ¯ Member # 2188 posted                                 Hey All, This past weekend I finally got my Saleen, dyno tuned at Apex motorsports by Byron, with the Turbo T64, at 7 psi with 8 degrees of timing I managed a best of 328 rwhp and 402 rwtrq with a A/F of about 11.1 ~ 11.4. With the cats there is allot of restriction and the 35 MM tail is too restrictive as well, my boost drops off at the top end due to 7 psi setting on the boost controller. At such low boost the turbo is running below it efficacy curve. Here the link to the dyno run: http://alumni.cse.ucsc.edu/~josue/dyno_results.JPG Here a comparison of my car against a supercharged car: http://alumni.cse.ucsc.edu/~josue/turbo_vs_vortech.JPG By the way Total Performance is having as sale on their kits. -------------------- The first 2000 Turbo Saleen Posts: 32 | From: Northern Cali. | Registered: Dec 2002  |  : hidnn.o.s. ¯ Member # 1219 posted                           328 sounds very low to me, even if it is just 7 psi Your car sure sounds damn nice though. -------------------- R.I.P.

I’ll have to find a place that is friendly to modified cars. -------------------- The first 2000 Turbo Saleen Posts: 32 | From: Northern Cali. | Registered: Dec 2002  |  : S-281 ¯ Member # 2188 posted                                 St5150 The car does feel strong; it pulls hard after 3000 rpm. I see full boost at 3500 rpm. When I originally bought the car I wanted a supercharged Saleen but the MSRP for a SC Saleen was too much, so I decided to buy a non-Supercharge car and put a turbo in. So my goal was to make about the same HP as a supercharged Saleen with fewer boosts, and I think I have accomplished it. I know the boost and tune of 8 degrees of timing is conservative, but that is what I want since I will be driving this car every day, and I want it to last for a while and I want to enjoy the car… By the way I am in SF/Bay Area… -------------------- The first 2000 Turbo Saleen Posts: 32 | From: Northern Cali. | Registered: Dec 2002  |  : 99gt-UJSTLST ¯ Member # 584 posted                              like the torq numbers -------------------- SOUTH BAY STANGS MINOR BOLT ON'S www.southbaystangs.com Posts: 2558 | From: SAN JOSE CA | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : 5150Z28 ¯ Member # 232 posted                              TQ numbers look good but I would expect a little more HP. -------------------- 2007 Silver Toyota Tacoma DC PreRunner TRD Off Road 1998 Camaro Z28 - SOLD Posts: 100 | From: Hilmar, Ca | Registered: Apr 2001  |  : ray95 ¯ Member # 752 posted                              Nice job!

(we're talking nearly 600RWTQ). I'd also assossiate the drop-off in power to a restrictive exhaust. Pulling cats on a turbo car will produce MASSIVE power gains at the same boost level. Currious....did you see max boost on the dyno? My setup sees 2lbs less at any given RPM on the dyno then on the street. -------------------- www.advancedenginedevelopment.com SCT dealer Dynotuning (916)715-7569 Posts: 4265 | From: Fair Oaks, CA | Registered: Nov 2000  |  : Wolfie351 ¯ Member # 651 posted                              Personally, I think too much emphasis gets put on peak hp numbers. A broad torque curve and power at any rpm is what makes a car a blast to drive. -------------------- 1985 Mustang GT: 351W, Griggs, Baer, etc etc Posts: 1214 | From: South Bay | Registered: Dec 2001  |  : S-281 ¯ Member # 2188 posted                                 Hey 1Sicgt, Yes turbo’s will always make more heat that is the only downside to turbos I can think of. I don’t think it will melt the plastic valve covers. But here is a good story about heat with the turbo, this weekend while driving up the 5 on the grapevine with 100+ degree weather out side and driving really fast up the hill with the turbo working about 5psi , it go so hot that the power steering was not working (my steering wheel was really loose) and the plastic brake liquid reservoir bottle expanded along with the plastic gaskets and I lost all my brake fluid. The good thing is that I pulled over just when I lost my power steering and that is when the brake bottle gaskets expanded. Once I let the car cool down under the hood, everything was back to normal…. Your right all the hot turbo part are really close to sensitive things like, power steering, A/C, and brake stuff. The oil (160) and water temp (170) where all normal it just that the turbo heat was affecting the brake reservoir. Some heat shielding should take care of the problem.

I just had the car tuned and just want to see how the car handles from now. But you know how things go, my hands will start itching and I’ll start messing with it. I’ll let you guys know if I change anything. -------------------- The first 2000 Turbo Saleen Posts: 32 | From: Northern Cali. | Registered: Dec 2002  |  :
