I thought we agreed that we would peace out ... Try me .

TeamRX8 08-08-2015 08:03 PM

I thought so too, which is the only reason I chose to reply. Your reply indicated otherwise to me. Did you ever think to ask me *why* I see it that way instead of being so reactive?

Not sure what which comments you are referring to ?

FazdaRX_8 08-09-2015 11:36 PM

You guys are hilarious,

But seriously one of you needs to ignore the other.

Can't wait to see your progress Brett.

I am not making 400 but my top mount is holding up fine :)

TeamRX8 08-10-2015 12:00 AM

That was my intent, but got suckered into "discussion" post.

The solution is simple . Stop posting in this thread . I wont be upset in the slightest if you choose not to enter into any more arguments discussions.

Cheers Fazda

I'm hoping for big things on the next round . Will probably head to dyno if it all pans out .

Brettus 08-10-2015 04:33 PM

Taking it into the fabricator on Thursday and hoping to be back on the road next week sometime .

Also : hit 20psi over the last few days .... no issues .

FazdaRX_8 08-10-2015 05:15 PM

Sweet, your motivating me to get mine more in order!

It's well established that I won't be upset with staying here and having you responding to everything emotionally either. I'm also not upset that you connect the center port tube into the wrong end port and how your pulse diagram fails to account for the actual end result. It will be better, but still fail to capture all the pulse energy. So keeping my mouth shut and watching you go down this path won't upset me in the slightest either.

FazdaRX_8 08-10-2015 06:31 PM

I think its possible, welding and shaping a divider insert that fits into the center housing, welding that to the flange, then making a divided center by buying a Y then cutting it in half to weld in a wall then the rest is pluming,

I am sure you remember this guy

then do two wastegates, with your magic solinoids, this would get you 0 back pressure during cruz and ultimate spool when the gates shut. IMHO

BigBadChris 08-10-2015 07:23 PM

Fazda

Where did that come from? It looks very interesting. Is there a concern that the homemade divider can take the heat of the Siamese port? It is constantly exposed to exhaust gas, no recovery time while the other rotor fires.

FazdaRX_8 08-10-2015 08:23 PM

Very little info on that header. Not even sure it has the piece that would go inside to divide. But I image iconal could handle it fine

Brettus 08-10-2015 08:49 PM

THere are more than a few problems when you divide the Siamese .
You don't actually get a full division . As the sleeves aren't sealed .
And you restrict the flow through the port Sleeve itself .
So it's not worth exploring imo

BigBadChris 08-10-2015 09:17 PM

I've found the solution to your problem, Brett.

THAT'S a turbine housing !

Are you still running the plastic intake? How far you trust it?

I remember turblown blown an engine, it spiked to 25 psi engine popped but intake mani servived. so I guess we can say it can take at least 25psi :)

that's good to know ;)

i'm building an aluminium manifold and plenum for mine, space and routing is easier then, i'm gonna run megasquirt so throttle body choice is endless (to a point).

This is what came to mind for me as well. But I don't trust any of turdbrown's results so maybe you should test the full capability of the plastic intake :lol:

Kidding aside I would be getting concerned much over 20, but maybe some empirical testing is in order. Maybe someone wants to snatch some up from a wrecking yard and put an air compressor to them :)

FazdaRX_8 08-11-2015 08:56 PM

I think I have a spare......
