12 psi

im reading 12 psi now that i have a 3" exhaust and kami header,i thought the boost was going to drop to 9 or 10.well,its pulling some serious G's now.

Somethings not right!?! When you free up the exhaust your boost will definetely drop. Did you make any other mods at the same time?

what did you change?

Maybe SCHybrid actually has a turbo and only THINKS he has a supercharger...

That does seem strange that your boost would go up though... I'm gonna have to think about this until I get a really bad headache...

im telling you ladies,im hitting 12 psi now,
heres the brealdown:
i used to have dc header 4-2-1,2 inch exhaust,and cam gears set at (0 exhaust,-2 intake).

now I have kamikaze header,full 3" exhaust,(+5 exhaust,+4 intake).

I ran it last night at the track and with the clucth slipping at 2nd and 3rd gear, I still pulled off a 109 mph pass.

this car screams like crazy from 5000 up.
In first gear,it goes from 5000-8100 in like hundreds of a second.

i cant believe how much power its making now,its unbelievable.

im putting a new clutchmasters 4 on it this weekend and running it at the track next week with my slicks to see what i can hit.

What pully combo are you running? Well we can def. see you increase in manifold pressure is from the cam timing but what I would really like to know is if your settings are dyno proven? I would really like to see what your torque curve looks like with that kind of cam timing..

i had it on a dyno before and he had the cams set at 0,exhaust -2 intake.
i left the cam gears alone for a long time,until i decided to do some tuning myself,and it pulls much better than with the old cam settings for sure.
the guy who dynoed it didnt try that many combinations with the cam gears, he did maybe 3 or 4 and that was it.i live in miami ,and getting good service down here, as far as performance,is not so good.
i test it by myself and at the track.
don't you think 109 mph with a slipping clutch is pretty good so far.
i think your right about the manifold pressure being soo high because of the cam settings,thats a good theory.
thanks...
im going to try some more cam settings,but i dont think ill go + or - 6 in either direction.

Yeah, my SC peaked at 12 psi when it was installed and run on the dyno. I think once the SC has some time put on it, the psi will go down a little. I'm still hitting between 9-10 psi.

By the way, for all the nonbelievers out there. I also have 3" Thermal exhaust and Kamikaze header with a 2.5" collector.

What pulley size are you guy running? Stepper pulley and 3.6, 3.4, 3.8 and Stepper?? The cam gear settings have alot todo with the pressure seen in the head but I don't really understand what 1994GSRFL is trying to say. SC Hybrid has had his blower for a good amount of time so I am sure it has "Time put in". Depending on the pulley combo you are using, if you set those gears to 0,0 you will see the correct "estimated" boost levels, but we have to remember that not only the exhaust restricitons effect the pressures we see, the head characteristics play a big part too.

MR. Rogers,i have set the cam gears back to 0,0 and the result was------12 psi.doesnt make sense now.btw,yeah,whats the dude talkin'bout with all the nonbelievers with the kami 2.5 and 3" exhaust ??
oh,also,the charger has been on for like 40,000 miles.
also,just got my car back with the new clutch stage 4 in.
well, thats it...

forgot to mention , its the 9 psi stepper pulley.......

OH DAMN! I'm FUCKED! You know that I have a stepper sitting here and guess what.....I also have the 3.6 pulley on the blower (8psi). Well once I get my trany finished up (hopefully next weekend) I will get things going and see where I am at. That is VERY strange that it is still showing 12psi with the 0,0 setting. Knowing that the pulley will only (it is impossible to actually, physically increase) add 3lbs of boost I don't know what the hell is going on. I just hope my guage stays below 13psi (shooting for 11 maybe 12 at most) but if not, it's all good cause Zip is about finished up with the EBC so don't worry bout it http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

mr rogers,dp you already have the upgraded pulley on your charger?if so,then you'll be looking at around 13 to 14 psi,cuz my stepper pulley was hittin' 10-11 before the kami and 3"exhaust,now its hittin' 12 all the time.well,got to keep the revs down for awhile cuz of the 500 mile break-in on my new clutch.
keep me informed on if you add the stepper pulley....

Well, I haven't put it on yet but I am really anxious to see what the turn is. That number is damn hi but after reading up alot on the pulley over on the BBS, I know that it can only really raise the pressure 3psi, so I will just have to address the elevated pressure when I get there. Man, it's gonna be so hard to not get on the gas once the car is back together after not driving it for 3 months and having all the new goodies on it. Well I will most def. keep you guys posted on my results. Cya

But his wasn't bottlenecked b4 and he put larger everything on since then???? Very wierd http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/confused.gif

There could be another bottleneck that's keeping boost levels high. Perhaps a clogged cat?
