Title: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 14, 2014, 07:24:08 pm
hey there guys.
so i built myself a 1.9td aaz as my first car. i have been driving it now for about the last year. for upgrades i have
a full rebuilt engine
Giles super pump
arp head studs
T3 turbo (which i dislike)
Front mount intercooler
tdi crank

I also have a custom ground Dr.diesel cam that I still have to put in.

I put the car on the dyno last year with a k24 but the wastegate was seized and would only make about 10psi.
The car made 108hp and 160 torque
over the winter i put a t3 on and i find it very slow spooling compared to the k24 and it will also only make 20psi and most.

I am looking for your guys opinions on turbos. im looking for 160hp at the least. The only idea i have for a turbo right now is a VNT 17/22. I realise the work and money to do that but as they say you have to pay to play. so any opinions are welcome

Post by: theman53 on May 14, 2014, 07:36:53 pm
From what I read the T3 is a bit bigger than the K24 and that is why it will spool slower IIRC. The Holset he211w that Alcaid has for sale in the for sale section is dyno proven to do just what you want. If you could find a similar sized Mitsubishi turbo they are built almost identical to the holset from what I have seen.
If you do use an older style T3 or K24 get it built with a 360 thrust bearing, it will like it better and spool better...way better.

What's your budget?
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 15, 2014, 04:02:24 am
Well I'd like to keep it under 1500 but if it is closer to that I want at least 180whp

Great to work with and can hook you up for well under your budget.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on May 15, 2014, 05:24:58 am
With the He211w I think Alcaid can do them for under 700.00, check the for sale section. If you do all the fab work and buy all of the pieces to connect it together you would have another 300.00 in parts. I did 3" mandrel bends for a downpipe, gaskets, manifold, drain line *I had an oil feed line already*, silicone couplers and clamps for the IC, and modding or building an intake to the turbo is what the parts list is IIRC.
It has been dynoed by Alcaid somewhere around the 170hp mark.


FWIW I would never put a turbo like a 17/22 vnt on. I like the vnt turbo boost ideas, but they are just too small. I have a 2256v off of a sprinter that I am thinking of using on my jeep, just because I don't think I could get the money out of it selling it. I would rather have a holset.

I just finished reading the entire thread. I was amazed by the amount of work. It seems like a lot of work for a 17 year old kid haha. How well do you think the bottom end will hold up? Also have you tried full petal yet?

Thanks guys!
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on May 16, 2014, 05:32:12 pm
The bottom end will hold up fine I think. The biggest worry is dropping another precup like the last engine. This is running way cooler than the last engine so I don't think it will as fast if it does. I may take the head off here and see what stuff looks like.

I did go full pedal the other day for about a 1/4 of a second. I wanted to see what would happen or if I would break anything. I am still worried about breaking stuff, but all it did this time was go faster.

Post by: mark3kid on May 16, 2014, 05:39:17 pm
the way you talk about that turbo just keeps making me happier keep me in touch with the power of the car please?

so i am still doing my reasearch but so far for what i want that turbo looks like the one. but im not sure i will be able to do all the fabrication.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on May 16, 2014, 08:54:51 pm
It would be easier to do 2.5" instead of 3". The 3" only comes in bends that are 4.5" radius and larger IIRC from what I found. 2.5" pipe comes in bends that are closer to 3" radius...again IIRC, it has been a bit since I was into it. Whatever you do, please Vband it. I can take off my down pipe in less than 5 minutes if it isn't hot. Getting it back on doesn't take much either.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 18, 2014, 06:18:47 pm
Could you make a size comparison for me? Is it smaller then a t3? Or larher. Or maybe take a picture next to something?

What are you talking about here?

If it is the turbo, the physical outside size of it is about like the AAZ K14, it is smaller than the t3 and K24. I had a pic with my hand on it, but I have decent sized hands.
If you are talking the downpipe, then it is way bigger than the T3 pipe
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 18, 2014, 06:53:59 pm
That answered my question I was just wondering the physical size. It makes seems to make very good power for the size.

It is all about design. It is way bigger than the t3 or k24. The exhaust housing is pretty much 2x as big as the T3.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Alcaid on May 19, 2014, 01:17:41 pm
These Holsets are also 20-30 years newer technology than those ancient laggy low-powered T3/K24 turbos and neither of those live for long at 30+ psi from experience
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 19, 2014, 06:05:38 pm
so on a side note i have been having a little issue ever since i had the car running. right now it seems like a little slack of power even when i have 20psi. not really sure what could cause the lack of power. here is a video of what happens if you come onto it if its the first couples times since you started driving. it happends if it is warm or cold.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on May 19, 2014, 06:32:16 pm
Something isn't right.

What have you checked already?

I would start with the shaft play in the turbo as that is easy. Tons of other stuff to check, but I will wait for your list of what you have done.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 19, 2014, 06:37:35 pm
This has happend with 3 different turbos. No fuel leaks runs fine after it does that
Title: Re: aaz turbo option and current turbo issues
Post by: mark3kid on May 20, 2014, 02:16:31 pm
so I smoke tested my intake today to see that my wastegate seemed to be leaking. does anyone know how that would affect power/boost? I currently make about 20psi but it should be more then that and the car seems way under powered.

its leaking from where my finger is. (this is not the turbo on the car)

thanks for the help guys
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: CrazyAndy on May 20, 2014, 05:58:06 pm
Is the wastegate leaking out of that small hole on the bottom of the can, or where it meets the turbine housing?  isn't that where the other end of the diaphragm bleeds to atmosphere so it doesn't get hung up?  If so you might have a leaking diaphragm, which means eventually the diaphragm will have a larger hole in it and the wastegate will cease to function.
As far as the missing and grey/white smoke, I think you might have a combination of leaking turbine shaft seal and either bad injector or head gasket.  Are you losing any coolant over time with no evidence of leakage?  I'd try getting your injectors tested before taking off the head and checking for a bad gasket.  Hope it isn't a prechamber.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 20, 2014, 06:48:04 pm
Head gasket and prechambers were done probably a week before that video was taken. The injectors were rebuilt and balanced by Giles. For the turbo I think I am going to fix my k24 waste gate and run that until I have the funds for a larger turbo

Post by: mark3kid on May 22, 2014, 08:37:50 am
would the he211w be bigger then that?
also what do you guys think of the HE200wg? would it be to big??

thanks for the help guys

the car is coming off the road tonight (hopefully) and i am going to be sending the pump to giles to get it tuned for about 35psi and i am going to fix a few things and get a turbo to put onto it and put my custom ground dr diesel cam in it. hopefully it all goes well and i can make almost 200whp! fingers crossed all the parts start to come together!!
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on May 29, 2014, 05:46:50 pm
So I finally got tired of used turbos. I ordered a he200wg from Alcaid. I can't wait for it to get here. Is there any suggestions that I should do before I put it on?
What exhaust manifold is best? The one I have seen on ebay go straight out. Not sure if that would make a tight fit between the turbo and the firewall.
What pyrometer do you guys run? Also what is the danger zone for heat on these engines?
Title: Re: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: vanbcguy on May 29, 2014, 06:18:37 pm
Generally speaking you want to keep EGTs under 1200F. Maxing out at 1400F under hard acceleration for a couple of seconds is fine but you want to be below there for say long hill climbs.

For your pyro it is mostly important to find one that has a small probe. I'm using an Auber Instruments one, the Aircraft Spruce "micro" probes are great too. Avoid the big fat VDO or Auto Meter probes, they react slowly due to the amount of time it takes to heat the probe itself up.

Any gauge that has a range from about 300F to 1500F would be ideal. That will let you cool down the engine properly. They pretty much all use K-type thermocouples so for the most part any probe should work with any gauge.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on May 29, 2014, 07:25:38 pm
I vote for the micro spruce as I haven't seen anything react as fast as it does, but I am biased. Also I like my gauge to go down to 200f as I don't like to shut it down until then. Even syth oil likes to cook if you shut it down at 300f and the heat soak creeps up to ??? I have seen mine go up 100f after shut down. Also, when I did my turbo I bought the ebay ex manifold. It does come about 1/2" from the firewall, but it fits and mine is a little different than yours. If I were going again I may just make one, and would recommend you do as well if you have the welding skills. The best thing you can do when making your downpipe is to put V band on each end of it. It takes a ton of time to set it all up, but when you are done it is so nice. I can remove my DP in about 3 minutes if it isn't hot, and replacing it isn't much harder. I would run 2.5" from the turbo all the way back. I honestly do not think you will see that much EGT with this turbo and a stock pump, but time will tell.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Gizmoman on June 01, 2014, 06:40:06 pm
My EGT runs at 330 or so after a normal run. I'd have to let it idle for a long time to get it below 200 - if it could even go there.
What could be done to lower idle temps at the EGT?
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: 8v-of-fury! on June 01, 2014, 07:05:36 pm
Maximum reading of the probe is 2000F. I have seen it read -35F as well on cold winter mornings.. So yes, the gauge reads down to absolute cool down. Which I like, because I can see my engine idling at 215F when at operating temperature.

http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_26&products_id=231

For that price, it is completely unbeatable.
Title: Re:
Post by: vanbcguy on June 01, 2014, 07:48:14 pm
I've got the Auber probe too. Seems super fast to react - I have it on my turbo computer so I can look at logs. It seems to track the accelerator perfectly.

I cool my motor down to about 165C before shutdown. I'm usually about there by the time I finish backing in to my driveway.

Yeah I am really surprised how quickly it cools off after a hard beating.. I very rarely ever have to let it cool off! Three residential roads off any main road to get to my driveway, and by that point I am usually closing in on the lower 300's (Fahrenheit) even if I was just hot dogging it up the main roads..

It can even track the amount of extra fuel added to keep the idle stable when I turn on a higher powered accessory.. I don't see how it could be any more accurate. ;) I am very pleased with that purchase for sure. I use one for EGT and BOOST. Red and Blue respectively.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: vanbcguy on June 09, 2014, 04:04:14 pm
In the center of the exhaust manifold BEFORE the turbo.  Ideally you want the probe to be sitting right in the center of the manifold outlet to the turbo.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Gizmoman on June 17, 2014, 05:54:14 am
Congrats. You will really like this turbo but it may take some fiddling.
Hopefully you won't need to re-clock the housings, just possibly the middle section (the boost gate rod needs to stay aligned). Any rotation of the two housings will throw off the factory adjustment.

To rotate the inner section, remove the V-clamps. You'll find a pin inside that keeps it from rotating. Remove the pin.

The goal is to have the oil drain clocked at 6:00

If you need to rotate the scrolls out of alignment with each other, you'll need to make a new bracket of some sort to mount the can on. Mine was an extreme situation (50 degree Vanagon)

I also had to cut the tab for the can off because it hit the head.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on June 17, 2014, 04:07:41 pm
as you see in his pics that pin in the housing keeps it from rotating, so you cannot just compress the snap ring and twist it. The cold side has to come off and the pin pulled. I left the pin out on mine, it hasn't rotated yet.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Gizmoman on July 09, 2014, 05:14:17 pm
Not positive I understand the question but here is the one I built:
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jlnpl0mPJKU/UxNpGBjuCTI/AAAAAAAADI8/goC4sfutJ6c/w900-h675-no/DSC00925.JPG) The extra tang is for a brace to the block.

The gate should only open once you've hit either the boost setting of the turbo, or the setting of a boost controller.

Until you hit that pressure (I think stock is 30 psi but Alcaid could verify), the gate will stay closed due to the spring pressure in the pot.

I believe you can also adjust the opening pressure with the knurled sleeve-nut on the actuator rod from the pot. Less tension = lower max boost.

I'm using a DIY boost controller and have it set to 22 psi. A quick search should net you plenty of posts on building a controller.

yes that is the actual car. hood needs work now sadly after hitting a deer and my intercooler tubing blowing off into the hood. but still fixable. also here is a picture of what the engine looked like. i am doing a little different colors this time

Here's the flange I made for our HE200WG, prior to hitting the rough spots with a die grinder and welding it:

I ended up grinding a small relief for the wastegate flapper to give it a little extra travel (it was hitting the edge of the oval outlet).

Just got the car running about two weeks ago.  We're running about 25.5 psi (at an elevation of 6200'), and it's a blast to drive.  It's been a great father-son project (he gets his license in two weeks) and has literally transformed the car.  We're in the process of installing a lightweight flywheel and beefier clutch, since the stock clutch started shredding itself pretty quickly with the newfound torque.

Thanks, Petter!  We are very, very happy with the turbo.  It was probably a lot more work than an OEM setup, but the results have exceeded our expectations by far.  My goal was to build something that would keep up with modern traffic, but the car is actually...dare I say... *fast* now.  During yesterday's shakedown run of our new clutch, we were out on a little country road, and a Mk3 GTI caught up to us and got right on our rear bumper.  We slowed down and did a couple of accelerations back to the speed limit.  The GTI faded away pretty quickly each time.  Okay, it was an 8V GTI, but still...

Thanks!  Yeah, thankfully it seems to be a great match for our ~2200 lb Jetta.  It spools reasonable quickly (even at altitude), much quicker than the T3/T4 in my 16vt corrado, but I'd call it more of a horsepower setup than a torque setup.  The midrange is impressive, but it keeps pulling to redline.  Can't wait to get an AAZ head on it...

At first, we were consistently maintaining about 21 psi, but turning up the fuel simply increased our EGTs.  I said, "well, I guess that's it".  Then I noticed there was a little bit of black smoke under boost, so I disconnected the wastegate.  Voila, 24.5 psi with no smoke, and EGTs spiking below 1400 F.  I subsequently turned up the fuel a tad, and we're hitting 25-25.5 psi, but occasionally spiking EGT to the high 1400s, so I can't go any higher (EGTs stay in the "safe" range if we shift earlier).  Next step will probably be water/alcohol injection to recover some EGT margin, along with ARP studs and a metal HG.  Here are the highlights of our current setup:

- Mk2 Jetta 1.6d
- HE200WG
- Cast 8V T25 exhaust manifold, cleaned up and gasket matched.
- G60 intake manifold, also gasket matched
- FMIC
- 2.5" turbo-back exhaust, techtonics over-axle w/ resonator, no rear muffler
- Auber instruments dual-channel gauge w/ EGT and boost
- 9.5 lb flywheel w/ 16V PP
- NA LDA pump, governor mod, modified for boost input, trying to source a stiffer aneroid spring...

This is my first experience with diesels.  I have to say it's been a lot of fun.   :)

Both of you need bigger pumps, you are propably running your 9mm pumps with looong injection duration giving you higher EGT and PCP than needed. With enough fuel you really need the wastegate hooked up to keep the boost at the level you want it to stay at.

I'm not a pump expert and have no desire to change mine.
Just for the record though, mine is a 1.6 pump tuned by Giles. I also purchased four new injectors from him at the same time. I asked him to get in the 120-150 HP range and he said, OK.

I'm not getting any smoke I can see. Would turning in the fuel screw help with lower end?

Hey guys
So car is running and it works good but I do not like the cam as it won't start easily with it in. I'm wondering what the waste gate is set at. I currently only make about 18psi and it pulls hard but my egts are crazy high. But i do have a bad leak on cylinder one between the head and manifold so gopeffuly with the stock cam and the turbo spooling off and 4 cylinders the egts will drop. I'm glad the site is back online :)
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Alcaid on October 11, 2014, 10:39:33 pm
Fix that leak and get that boost up, more boost lowers EGT.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Gizmoman on October 12, 2014, 05:23:03 pm
FWIW, I have a 1.6 pump with a giles tune.

I went on a long trip a month back and tuned it as I went (tightening the gate rod).
I ended up wiring it shut with mechanics wire. It's great now and I can hit 20 at WOT for a short hit.

Egt's are quite a bit lower while freeway driving but I can still reach 1140 if I want to.

No expert on turbos but my guess is I'm not inputting enough fuel or should I say, at the right time.

I'd enjoy fiddling with it if I had time, but I don't and it meets my needs at the moment.

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Alcaid on October 13, 2014, 02:25:25 pm
Is boost flattening out? If so you need to put more preload on the actuator as it is opening too soon.

To lower EGT you need more boost
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on October 14, 2014, 09:49:58 am
Right now I have the actuator blocked off. I just disconeccted the vacume line. Makes a bit more boost but only 2-3 psi more. Today it seems like I have a boost leak so I'm going to look into that. It is running really rough at idle so I also need to look into that.

Ours is running great.  ~26-27 psi, and EGT stays below 1200F with a third-gear pull.  We get quite a bit of wheelspin in second.  It's a lot of fun, and we still have a lot of room for future upgrades.   ;)

Boost can push the gate open even against the raw spring pressure of the pot (even with the hose disconnected). Try using bailing wire to make sure it stays closed.

Knowing what turbo you have might help as there are a few experts here (I am not one). As I had to re configure the one on my brand new HE 200 to get the drain clocked at 6:00, I made a simple gauge to measure the stick-out of the pot rod before I took it apart. Once I had the new lash-up built, I just adjusted it to the same length.

Otherwise, trial and error and a boost gauge will get you close. From my limited experience, it's more than you may think. I am currently running with mine wired shut and have never hit more than 22 psi. I also have the boost hose to the pot disconnected/plugged. The hose from the turbo compressor just goes to the gauge.

I'm just wondering if anyone has this turbo mounted up to a trapazoidal flange? Pics?

If I mount mine like that my cold side hits my PD intake.

I originally looked into mounting our HE200WG with the OEM trapezoidal manifold.  The turbo and G60 intake manifold were trying to occupy the same space with the exhaust manifold upright.  Flipping the manifold over caused interference problems between the turbo and rear engine mount.  We ended up going with a generic 8V turbo manifold with T25 flange.

How much pre-tention do I put on the waste gate?

You need a buttload of pretension.  I just realized a couple of weeks ago that we needed more tension on ours, so I tightened the knurled wheel adjuster as far as I could by hand.  With the actuator disconnected (c-clip removed), there's probably a 1/4 inch gap between the diaphragm rod and the wastegate actuator arm, such that it would be impossible to connect the two back together (i.e., to install the c-clip) by hand. 

Between adjusting the wastegate actuator and fixing a pretty big leak in our intake manifold gasket yesterday afternoon, our boost is way up and EGTs are way down.  My son hit 31.8 psi last night at 1/2 throttle with EGT below 1000 deg F.  He was going to build up to full throttle on the way to school this morning.  I didn't get any phone calls, so it must not have blown up.   :)

This is on a ARG engine (ALH but with stock wastgate turbo). I adjusted my pre-tention yesterday. Now I hit 1.7 bar @ 2600 rpm, but it overboost now, so I might have overdone it a bit

My son said he's hitting (and holding) about 32 psi at full throttle.  Max EGT is around 1100 deg F.  I might try adding a bit more preload on the wastegate, but I don't want to push our luck with OEM stretch bolts and fiber HG.  Needless to say, we're extremely happy w/ the Holset -- the car is a blast to drive.  I'm thinking about replacing the T3/T04e on my Corrado w/ an HX35 or HE3xx series.

Post by: vanbcguy on December 10, 2014, 07:55:33 am
If anything you can probably get better performance by reducing the boost a little given your low EGT numbers. You've got more air than you need right now. Knock it down to say 28 PSI and I bet your EGTs will barely be over 1250 but you'll reduce the back pressure on your engine.

Good to see that you are happy Jason :)

I like your idea of getting rid of the acient T3/T04e and replacing it with a Holset, funny thing is the bigger ones are priced close to the small HE200/211 ones. On E85 a HX35 can give you a ***load of whp!

Yeah, that's about where our EGT was when we were troubleshooting a boost leak and running about 29 psi. 

By your recommendation to reduce boost to get better performance, I assume you believe we're losing efficiency at that pressure ratio.  Based on our elevation and boost, our pressure ratio is really high -- about 3.75-3.8 -- which is at the upper limit of the HE200 compressor maps I've seen.  You might be right.

I'm thinking an upgrade to larger valves (or an AAZ head) is our next step.  Honestly, this car runs so well, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Efficiency is one thing, but don't forget the turbine side is a restriction. Allowing more exhaust to bypass the turbine (therefore slightly reducing intake pressure) lets the engine pump out exhaust more easily. Really you want the minimum amount of boost to completely burn all your fuel and keep things cool. More boost doesn't necessarily result in more power.

I understand what you're saying -- that's a good point.   

Intuitively, I can't imagine we're getting close to the mass flow limits of the turbine, based on Alcaid's experience with an HE211W at 173 whp.  That said, it's really a question of system efficiency, i.e., all the components working together.  If I had the resources, I'd love to be able to plot hp vs. boost using a dyno to see if we're past the knee in the curve and reaching a point of diminishing returns -- that would be an interesting science project.

11mm pump built by Dieselmeken in Sweden, 120cc of fuel on that one.

hey there guys so i have been out of this for a while now where mine actually blew up... i have low compresson and alot of blow by in my intake and crank case. lots of oil going everywhere along with antifreeze boiling over. so rebuild time again :(  when i got my pump back i believe giles got me 121 cc of fuel but i cant really remeber but that gives me good hope and im glad to see alot of people interested in this post besides me. its soon time to start rebuilding spring is just around the corner and 2015 is going to be a good and smoky year for me i hope. there will be alot of photos as i plan on making a beast this year

204whp was with the weird HE221W-5cm with the exact same turbine wheel and just a little bigger comp inducer than the HE200WG and ported shroud compressor housing. Turbine is the limiting factor on this setup so both HE200WG and this HE221W version will be able to do the same 204whp. HE200WG will have slighly better compressor efficiency.

I'm going to make a wild guess but would it be possible you had a cracked ring and this is where everything started. Maybe the high temps first started and progressed to get worst with the boost also dropping you were leaking more and more into the crank? Just what I picture going on.

Hey guys I need desperate help! I got the car fully rebuilt and it makes great power but it won't make over 20psi and my egts are to high! So the waste gate on the turbo. When its closed it should make full boost correct? Anything I can check to see why I'm not making more boost.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Alcaid on May 30, 2015, 12:44:48 am
Have you added a ball and spring type boost controller to dial in the boost? Enough preload on the wastegate? We have seen over 45psi with the exact same turbo on a 1.6TD when adding lots of fuel ;)
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: jmaddocks on May 30, 2015, 04:35:56 am
I'd check the WG preload first.  For troubleshooting purposes, disconnect the boost line going to the WG actuator (make sure you cap the end which goes to the manifold -- you don't want a boost leak).  Increase WG preload incrementally, driving the car each time to check boost levels.  It needs a lot more preload than you think.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option

Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: Gizmoman on May 30, 2015, 05:42:19 am
I can't make over 20 PSI either and have the gate wired shut. For me it's a fueling issue I believe as my EGT's don't go over 1100 F.
The HE200 turbo is still awesome

Okay thanks! I'll borrow the leak tester from work and see if I can find one. Thanks for the help! Either way it makes tons of power at 20psi I'm kinda scared to see 30+
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: golfmk1tdr on June 04, 2015, 07:11:39 am
Haha I am also at about that 20 psi and I can't help thinking ''you guys are stupid how can you drive around like that''  ;D
and then I think there is more... and I just want to have it  :)

Bothers me that boost doesn't seem to steady, it will always drop fast if I apply less fuel (while still accelerating)
Never stops boosting really so I don't think my WG would give me more boost if set higher, probably I have boost leaks everywhere.

Can anyone confirm that boost should stay high once it's biuld up and I am having bad boost leak?
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: vanbcguy on June 04, 2015, 11:01:21 am
You're describing normal behavior.  Boost is created by heat coming out of the exhaust.  Let off the go pedal, there will be less heat, the turbo will produce less boost. 
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on June 13, 2015, 03:37:46 pm
Hey guys I just wanted to say the car now makes just shy of 40psi!!!! It works great! Definitely not 200whp though. I'm thinking more like 160ish but that is without water meth. But even so it works great and sounds great and is a beyond blast to drive. I actually cried when I saw the guage almost hit 40psi!!!!

You can smoke even with an 8mm pump with too long duration. If only Giles would tell how much cc his pumps gives as that would give a quantitative number of how super those pumps are or not. 120cc 11mm pump dynoed 204-205whp
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: theman53 on June 22, 2015, 04:08:02 pm
2.5" intercooler piping is a bit big. 2" will help with smoke, as the 2.5" would be a race or all high rpm only application. That may help with the smoke early. Especially if you have a bigger than needed IC.

I say something is off as I have a Giles 10mm maxed out and now that I eliminated the boost leak I have 0 smoke and EGT around 700f peak...I did a lot of porting and head work though. I don't think it would make that much difference.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: vanbcguy on June 22, 2015, 08:50:24 pm
Like Alcaid says... The challenge isn't so much total fuel quantity as it is timing. If you're running a 10mm pump and smaller injectors you can make lots of smoke and high EGTs without making all that much power. It's about getting it in there fast enough that it gets burned while the piston is in the right place.

If you want it to last you need to back off the boost. You are overspooling it and back pressure is probably very high as well. Unless you are running a 12mm pump you are out of fuel a long time ago anyway

50psi is a PR of 4.5, not even a HX40 Super will do that without overspooling (too high rpms = too high compressor wheel tip speed)

50 psi is compound territory if you want it to last

Besides you are not even close at having the fuel needed so you are actually getting worse performance that what you will get with lower boost

Lower boost until it smokes slightly on full boost. Then add boost until it just clears. No need to run more boost than what you have fuel for

Post by: vanbcguy on September 16, 2015, 04:34:46 pm
Really that's excessively high for these engines. To get boost pressure that high you're creating massive back pressure; your turbo is probably taking 60-80 PSI to create that 40-45 PSI. Unless you've got a heavily modified pump with a huge head on it and a massive intercooler (and I mean massive, you are probably looking at 200°C air coming out of your turbo right now) you're just hurting your engine without making any more power. Lots of folks have 200ish HP TDI engines at around 30ish PSI, you aren't likely to make that much power on an IDI without blowing the prechambers out of the head.
Title: Re: aaz turbo option
Post by: mark3kid on September 16, 2015, 05:03:28 pm
Yeah. I mean I have been kinda hard on the engine. It holds this boost pretty good. I have probably 30 pulls on it at this much boost and it acts the same each pull. Not sure why its making more then ever though. It's weird I never changed anything and before it just made 40

TDI and IDI is not comparable when it comes to boost or fuel quantity vs. hp. And your last comment is just silly. With the right mods 200hp is easy without prechambers going anywhere.
