Spool Turbo Installed: HELP!

[Little Beavis]

EGT readings in the downpipe should be around 660C or so at WOT (up to about 700). I too see about 600 to 620 at cruise. Terry posted some info about expected readings on other threads. Don't have a link, but you're in the right ball park. Glad to hear the oil thing is resolved.

hmmmm too much power for those tires...they kept spinning in 1st and 2nd:

Try throwing some slicks on.... Better clutch, and practice. You will improve big time!

Shift patterns are also a big thing to learn and "nail" down as they say!!!

ic ic..I hope to break into the 14's with my mods...being the exhaust...and the motor mounts. running 8 psi...I hope this is possible without the clutch being upgraded

LOL!!!

Are the Mazda trannies that weak?? Would it be ok to run some 15" mickies?? (with a 6 puck or 4 puck clutch of course) Please don't say they are as weak as a VW trannies!!

You really should upgrade that clutch REAL soon!! The car will PULL so much better!

 

[spoolinmp3]

Yeah soory to say but our trannies are as week as the current generation VW ones

My opinion is:

I dont know how much power can this tranny handle. But If you treat it as a baby (no granny shifting) dont give a lot of abuse. It will hold.

anyway....time will tell.

I talked today with the guy that is making 13.2 12psi is now on another proyect: T3/T4, forget internals, big slicks, stock ECU and will try to reach 12secs. SAME TRANNY. And it is still holding.
Saw the new head that hes working on.

 

[spoolinmp3]

igdrasil......VERY True, my car has been at 10psi, with no probs. Slicks, drag racing and boost all together will really affect your tranny life though

Hmm... im running 7.5psi and I fear that much power, I need to lower that.

Hey spooling. help me with this. I want to lower that to at least 5psi. Any of those springs for the deltagate....can any of those help?
I followed the Deltagate instructions ( to lower boost) and it keeps at 7.5psi.

New Clutch

Hmmm...kind of, aggressive, right?

Now I dont know if im going to put this thing...with the stock pressure plate they told me it will hold, but will be aggressive engages. Notice no springs, just 4 bronze plates.

 

[falkofire]

what kind and how much...and would that be more aggressive than a 6 puck or less?

 

[perfworks]

igdrasil, who makes that clutch?
