Well, I can't remember who made the reference first, but, repeating it: . . . . . I figure it won't be long that if I post something about my 12.67 run back in '11 . . . .
one more time, . . . . . I will have reached "Hogue Status".
I've got some stupid-big injectors and need more air. Specifically way-down low in the engine RPM. The heap is currently NOT driver friendly when it comes to controlling no to low boost smoke (this is NOT an AFC thing
).
Currently, the heap's Charge-Air circuit amounts to:
- Custom oiled-gause air filter in a 100% true cold air intake.
- 4" tube from the filter to the primary turbo.
- PDR HT3B primary with the 23" exhaust housing (I think it's 23).
- 3" tube from primary turbo to secondary turbo.
- PDR custom S362 secondary with a 14" exhaust housing with the dual puck internal WG.
- 3" tubing from secondary turbo to IC.
- Custom Hellman after-cooler (no more than 3psig pressure drop from secondary to head, at full song).
- 3" tubing from IC to Twin-Ram type intake feedhorn.
- PDR ported head (195cfm IN / 220 EX)
- Hamilton 188/220 cam, etc . .
- Early ATP 3-piece exhaust manifold.
- "Cobra-Head" hot-pipe.
- 4" down-pipe to just past the transfer-case and 5" on back.
Looking for suggestions as to how to make it spool MUCH quicker off idle. Different secondary such as a ball-bearing unit? Small(er) exhaust housing with an external WG on the manifold? Ball-bearing primary? All three?
A little more air on the top-end would help keeping the EGTs down as well.
Basic low-buck options all the way up to Drool caliber . . . .. what would you suggest?
BTW: Honestly, I know squat about the A/Rs and all the different compressor/turbine wheel sizes. I read many of the threads here and there. Most are suited to the higher RPM fueled engines, not VE stuff. I do understand how the mess works, but when it comes to, by design, dialing-in the right component selection, I'm lost at this point. I'd rather spend the money once (again
).
