    Keeping It Cool?

    in Turbo / Supercharger

    Posted

    you know I was watching some video of my and my buddy messin around in my car BEFORE i did the turbo swap and everything was stock.. and i hit the PAUSE button and looked at my guage.. it's a little under 3/4 during the summer!!

     

     

    With MegaSquirt I had to add a new coolant temp sensor, and my PDA displays around 190 degrees cruising and 200 degrees under HARD driving and it will shoot up to 215 by the most with hard driving..

     

    so now i'm not that worried... if it's ALWAYS above 3/4 or close the 250 degrees than you have a problem.. I think we are just freakn out over nothin ;)

    Procharger system

    that would be a no of my knowledge..

     

    there are a few with roots type blowers... but no centrifugal blowers =(

     

    the cost to fabricate the necessary components is not very efficient...

     

    with that money put into a turbo motor you can have one hell of a turbo car!!

     

    Think about it... turbo motor $500, plus new T3/T04e $600, big intercooler $300, 3" downpipe and exhuast $400, intercooler piping and MegaSquirt $270 to control fuel and spark..

     

    That's around $2,100 .. and the Vortech Centrifugal blowers are $2,400 plus you have to fabricate the stuff for it.. nahh... go turbo

    i am running about 190-200 degree with a flushed system under boost..

    and with a Ford Taurus electric fan at it's high speed setting...

     

    it occasionally shoots up to 215 degrees in traffic in 100 degree days at 6,000 feet up high..

    Cylinder head temps high?

    Cam

    These are the stock cam specs...

    http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/cam/index.htm

     

     

    Sure does look like the N/A cam is a bit more different..

     

    the cam lift intake on the N/A cam is 7.35 compared to the turbo which is 7

    intake & exhuast duration is 248 compared to the turbo which is 240

    Lobe centers are ALL basiclly 109 except the P90 j cam which is 110

    Valve lift intake 10.4 and the turbo is 10.0

    Valve lift exhuast 10.5 and the P90 j cam is 9.9

     

    So there isnt MUCH of a difference....

    MSA springs?! or Tokico's springs?!

    i just bought some new tokico 5-way adjustable struts.. new sway bars.. and urethane bushings...

     

    and I am interested in a new set of springs..

     

    MSA springs are about $100 while the Tokico's are around $250!

     

    So just curious what people are running and if there are any huge differences?!

     

    seems MSA is you get what you pay for.. but the tokico's price seems to be you pay for the name..

    here is the VIDEO it's streaming I know it sucks

    Sorta useless post, how much power per PSI of boost (at least, in my case)

    in Turbo / Supercharger

    Posted

    my stock 280z N/A engine has a stamp in the engine bay stating 170HP to the crank...

     

     

    which means... with 9psi on my N/A motor....

    I SHOULD be running 272HP to the flywheel! Now account the 15% typical drivetrain loss and that means I should have 231.2 HP to the flywheel

     

    Bastaad I think the only little flaw I oculd find in the first few posts, was the 280ZX turbo engine was rated at 180 HP to the CRANK!

    That means at 10psi you should have 302.4hp and with the 15% drivetrain loss .. that means you should have 257.04 HP to the WHEELS

     

    NOTE - this is according to Road and Track and Car and Driver

    -----------------

    0-60 1/4 mile Lat Braking Top Peak Peak Curb Source

    (sec) (sc-mph) g (sp-ft) Spd HP/RPM TQ/RPM Wght (date)

    81 ZXT (AT) 7.4 15.6 88 .75 60 164 129 180/5600 203/2800 2995 RT 5/81

    ----------------

     

    This equation is somewhat farily accurate within at least 30 horsepower-ish.. LoL...

     

    note.. with 14.7 for standard atmosphere is on a PERFECT day at sea level altitude at 15 degrees Celcius..

     

    since I am 5,800 feet up, it is rare to get 14.7psi of standard atmosphere.. or 29.92 in as a barometer would indicate..

     

    especially on a 90 degree day, the actual DENSITY altitude would be like I am actually at nearly 9,000 feet! When I am really at 5,800ft.

    This is a result of the heat.. blah blah blah.. which thins the air out and would be equivelant to 9,000 ft..

     

    ANYWAY.. that seems about right Bastaad... at 10psi 257rwHP thats about right... right?! LoL havent looked at ur charts yet

     

     

    OK just re-read your posts.... the equation is WRONG!!! LoL.. your right Bastaad.. the equation is bogus!

    Cam

    whaa??

     

    the N/A cam is more agressive?!?!

     

    I have a turbo on my N/A setup and I am running an N/A cam...

     

    are you saying this makes more power than a turbo cam?
