I think it has more to do with contact time. A cooler sustained torch flame for example will heat metal much faster than a hotter flame which is only on the metal half the time. Even at higher flow rates the exhaust temperature isn't any hotter, it just has a bit more turbulence from the higher flow. 6ms doesn't seem like a lot of time, but that's per revolution, if you think about it like a percentage it makes a lot more sense.

Good video, I watched that today.

Question, Brettus, do you have screens in your intake?

I toyed around with different setups for years . These days I run a honeycomb maf straightener . Seems to be the most reliable .

Well good luck with everything Brutus, your journey has been very interesting. Im glad to see you fit a gt35 in the low mount.
My turbo guy is trying to shoehorn a gt35 in the low mount position as well, but he may change his mind. I don't think there is an easy way out for him on this one lol.

Cool, I was just curious. I run the honeycomb as well as a screen (AEM screen) further up from it. It has been working well but recently the screen got sucked in a bit and my car ran like shit. I am planning on removing it but will need the tune adjusted when I do that so it will have to wait.

9K, this is what I'm running and it's been excellent.

Also not too pricey.

Hey brett, what boost control Solenoid are you running. The Mac 45 or 46? Are you still liking it? no problems with small increases in duty cycle making big increases in boost?

Does it have a target boost and actively try to achieve that boost?

Does it just boost to whatever level you have the solenoid set as long as it's below the over boost level?

Small update :
Engine is finally going back together this week . The hold up was in waiting for the US supplier of the solid corner seals . I gave up on that and decided to just modify the stock Renesis corner seals . A friend in the UK tells me this has been done over there with some success .
Also planning to port the two end exhaust ports (leaving the Siamese alone) to try improve spoolup .
Hope to be back on the road by next week .

Did the turbo guys check the balance when you sent the turbo unit back? Could contribute to bad spool.
