Corleone

Finally the new engine is started. It is running fine. Now it will be a lot of tuning with gas and then I will change to E85 (ethanol that you can buy at he gas stations here in Sweden). I have now runned about 20 miles and started to tune. I have not boost more than 0.5 bar but I can say that the power will be there...

I will make some video clips soon...

Sure is a small turbo...............

Ummm, wow.
Your car is amazing. What kind of hp are you shooting for with that setup? I have a feeling it will be enough haha.

anders44

congrats, looks SWEET!

1600 sure beats my tiny 1000cc's I'm also going to run E85.

what did you do with cam sensor?

is the dump resirk into the intake and the metal piece is support? does that means you are still running MAF? or just don't like the sound?

is there a bigger thread on 944sverige? I looked but didn't find any.

Corleone

Yes... I have several friends with a lot bigger turbos but I want some boost before 5 krpm..

Corleone

Calcuated power is about 500 hp at 1 bar of boost with E85 and nearly 700 with 1,5 bar. I have set the rev limit to 7600 rpm.

I was kidding - that whole car is nuts.

Nice job - looks very professional.

Corleone

I trig with a 24 minus 1 trigger wheel at the cam gear. The reluctor is from a SAAB 9-5, a Bosch one.

Yes, the dump is recirculation into the turbo comressor inlet to help maintain turbo rpm. The metal piece is for the hood lock, its just at the picture it looks so. No I dont run maf, I run map. The bov sound is a bit lower but still very high as it sounds thru the very big KN filter, it measure 12 x 6".

Thats just sick

Corleone

Yes I know but then I got the chance to say why it isnt bigger... My Audi friend has now dynoed more than 900 hp with his 2,2 liters 5 cylinders engine and he has a Innovative T76 and that is big... but no spool before 5 krpm but then nice up to 9 krpm!!!

Can you tell me more about the "Special made intake" please.

I can't stop looking at those pics.

anders44

so when will you be at the nürburgring so you can test it properly? remember a video camera so you can get the looks of the silly bikers up bergwerk.

how high will you rev? have you tested the heat shielding around the brake reservoir and found it sufficient?

Corleone

6 liters plenum
Intake runners is about 85 mm
"Funnels" is expanding from 44 to 55 mm
All symmetrical

Corleone

Its dangerous to drive fast... but I got a new videocamera with dvd so Im planning to make some clips.

7600 rpm at the most.

I did have the shielding with my old engine to and it works, I have 2 layer. But when I have more time I think I will do a real metal one.

Here is my IC

Thanks and keep posting pics and info on what you've done.
