I think I might revisit this sooner than I thought. Not sure when - city life and apartment life really sucks the life out of me as the garage I have is detached, uninsulated and no recepticles. Could try to add some but no access to the breaker panel and provides "service" to the bank of 10...
I've done a fair amount of research and tuned the turbo setup I built a few months ago. Install/build took way too long and got it running for a few weeks but pulled it all out as I didn't have time to screw with the torque maps. Reasoning was I was moving from AK to WA and had to tow shit and...
I only got a couple WOT runs with like 5psi (no heat exchanger at the time, but only ~85 or 90*F IAT) and it felt pretty good for being down in timing. My only concern is surging and how close it is to the brake booster. Other than that, the wrap, turbo blankets, and aerogel did a great job at...
It's done but the turbos surge below 2000rpm it's still there but acceptable until 3000 RPM and then it's fine. I tried playing with vacuum hoses and reconfiguring the hoses for crankcase ventilation to try and get the BPV open sooner but no luck.
If I add a pair of aftermarket blowoff...
***** taking way longer than I thought. Manifolds were a bitch to get out since nuts were kinda rusty.
Got the headers in. Valve covers on. Injectors in (pre filled with gas since returnless system). Iridium 1 heat range colder plugs in gapped to ~0.028".
Plug wires and harnesses tied up and...
FYI Turbos will still eat some power. Pressure is generated due to housing restriction and that pressure puts countacting force on the piston as it is shoving it into the exhaust. It doesn't use too much and is maybe 1/5th the cost of a supercharger but it does use some power up.
I suppose...
I like my V8 lol. Factory for now i don't see a need for over 600whp .
Probably call it done for now and keep around 550 whp at around 7 psi to keep it reliable.

Did a pre scaling of the 4" maf.
Did some calculations and nailed it from 0 - 40lb/min in 1.5 hours and 3 reflashes ;)
Goes in this week after ford puts the warrantied control arm in.
Hand formed intercooler end tanks out of 0.0625" ... 5083 aluminum? I forget.
It held plenty of pressure in the STI with the 750hp garrett core that I built. Ran 33psi of boost on that out of an EFR 8374 (79lb/min or ~790hp)
4 inch outlet. Trimmed it a bit after. I wanted minimum volume...
Here's a story:
After concluding that the firing order was 13726548, I proceeded to tack the first piece - I referenced the owners manual (2012) for the order (more on this later)
Built a crude positioner out of a lathe chuck and a wheelchair motor. I didn't really use it for welding, mostly...
