Scottie-GNZ Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Track rained out. He just left my house about 15 mins ago. 10psi got my attention after a little tuning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 As Scottie said...rained out at the track. I hope to get a chance to tune before Reynolds, but if I have to tune 7 hours away from home, I will First impressions...well, the T-66 is a large turbo to say the least. Performance at 10 psi, mildly tuned (thanks Scottie) compares to 15-16 psi w/ the hybrid turbo I ran previously (butt dyno of course). I have full boost by ~3500-3700 rpm's (thanks to James' recommendation of the .58 a/r turbine housing), pulls like mad and sounds very angry with the wastegate vented to atmosphere. It feels very impressive (even got Scottie's attention) and I can't imagine what it would feel like at 20+ psi. Sidenote: Installing an EGT is highly recommended!! I installed an egt finally (as well as an electronic boost controller) and it really makes tuning easy. I wish I would have done it 2 years ago when I started this journey.

Z-Gad Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 You are always welcome to catch up w/ us at the track!! I am looking for my first 11 second pass before I start shooting for low-mid 11's regarding fitment, The wastegate is very close to my brake portioning valve and the lines from my master cylinder. That was the only fitment issue I had, other than needing a couple of silicone hoses (90* 2.5" bend, and a 4"- 3" reducer since the turbo inlet is 4 inches!!. I had bought James' old T04 manifold and racegate when he went twin turbo and they have been on my garage floor for probably a couple of years. I finally got around to using them... I believe he ran an equivalent of a T-64 then, so it was pretty much done for me already 8) I'll shoot some pics tomorrow (weather permitting) and send them to my profile. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
