you are a braver man than i travis i was going to leave that one alone.

 

Lol...I was wondering if it was a trick question.

 

guess i read too deep into it.. moeltc said the honda's were itching for a spanking.. meaning they've been going at it.. So I thought gunnist was saying he is barking up the wrong tree currently and should go fetch a Z06.. but even still.. with the turbo.. u really think the TC could take it?

 

I have. I beat a c5 zo6 on 11psi

Yea when I had my 1st Gen I would read alot about how the stock motor seems bullet proof handling up to 14psi in some testaments..
I know 2nd Gen motor is different. But does it have equal limits? I can't answer that one.

 

Good question

 

I had boost creep issues in my tC2. It would spike to about 13.5 Psi. Even then, no detonation.

 

This! On a mustang dynamometer during a dyno day, a C5 Z06 made 384 WHP with some bolt-on mods. On that same dyno, I made 365 WHP @ 11.2 Psi, and it was still climbing, then the dump tube melted through a strap and it fell off the dyno. If the car had stayed on for another 3-5 secs, I would've made more power.

 

educate me on this one..

Boost Creep?
Why no detonation?

love google


What turbo setup were you using when you experienced this?

 

for those that were talking about gauges...these look pretty cool. http://www.scion.ca/scion/lifestyle/...93333326895825

 

Descendant Turbo Kit, however, my setup has a Garrett GTX3076R. The wastegate is a Tial 38mm. We figured out that the creep issues were due to a crappy vacuum line. So, we put in a vacuum manifold and the issue was gone.

 

love this set up! everything about it gets me hard! mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Sorry just remembered this post...

I thought this post was for an already boosted TC2. If the TC2 is on boost then it should be beating the honda quite easily if the Honda is all motor. If the honda is turbo then I recant my previous statement.

And about the Z06 if properly tuned with a capable turbo the TC2 should hang or beat a stock Z06Vette on the roll.

Even though the Vette might make more advertised power stock it still depends on how efficient the motor moves the air and a 2.5 engine plus turbo will see Volumetric efficiency of 100%. While the Vette will see maybe 80-90% being a V8.

 

Ptuning at it again!!!

 

It has been a while since I have updated this thread.

The DP and FMIC components have turned into quite an adventure for us. But today I have a picture update, on the completed Downpipe.

FMIC pic's will follow.

thanks Drew.

 

quality piece right there. good stuff.

 

Awesome! Looks great!

 

All stocked up and ready to go. TC2 FMIC piping

Just waiting on the last of my Down pipes, and waste gates to come in.

Pics, Enjoy Drew
