Interest in Bolt on Turbo kit?

Yes I can make one of my manifolds with that flange. Not an issue at all.

If you are interested in parts shoot me an email and I can give you some pricing depending on what you want.

Send to, jake@classicdaily.net

thanks

Will save the email. Don't have the money yet and have a long list of shit to do before building for turbo starts. Will likely be sometime early next year.

My turbo setup plans are: Early E36 M42, oversize lower compression pistons, stronger rods, most likely starting with a GT25 of some flavour, full bearing refresh, standalone probably Haltech. Shooting for 250+hp with a focus on response and fun.

cool cool, sounds like a good plan. A focus on fun is one of the best focuses.


Just let me know when you are ready.

[econti]

Yep, will do. Makes it a bunch easier for me if I'm not making it :)

Is this RWHP or calculated flywheel hp? Thanks guys

Well, I know some have waited a long time for this.

1991 318i M42
Boosted with Jake's Kit
9 psi
torque at the flywheel

[chodedub]

It says torque at flywheel

[MikeW]

Flywheel is correct

Important to note that the numbers are most likely not that accurate. But great for comparison against the Subie though!

About how long did the install take and no need for tune because of the chip?

The PerfExpert is probably as accurate as many of the Dynos out there, providing the weights, ratios, diameters etc. were entered properly - and they were. It's all based on very simple physics (F=MA, ) so not really rocket science by any stretch. The program uses the accelerometer in the smart phones, not GPS, so we are talking about very precise and rapid measurements. The Dyno shops don't want you to trust a $10 Ap, but that has nothing to do with reality.

Of course nothing beats a shop Dyno for tuning, but for simple torque measurements the Ap may even be more accurate than the average shop, since many don't calibrate as often as they should.

I meant no disrespect. And you may be 100% correct. I should to an A/B test when I get mine installed. What app did you use?

I used PerfExpert and found the results very repeatable and consistent. The biggest challenge is finding a very level and flat stretch of road that permits you to accelerate and then coast a sufficient distance to establish the drag coefficient. The smart phone must also be mounted with the back of the unit facing straight ahead, and be properly calibrated. So, although there is amble opportunity for user error, if done correctly will produce very repeatable and reliable output. In my case, I had the WRX to provide a standard, which suggested a good setup. Also, the shape of the curve is near impossible to screw up, so that's worth mentioning too. Very fun to mess with and saved me lots of money and time dealing with Dyno shop.

FYI - I didn't find your response offensive, just really excited about this Ap and encourage people to give it a try. I would also really like to see some results from other builds on this thread, only ten bucks guys!!

It seems like a cool app, but what I don't understand is that HP is a calculation based on RPM and TQ. Specifically,

HP = RPM * TQ / 5252

So, at 5252 RPM, HP and TQ are equal always.



I'm still interested to see how it looks compared to a real dyno graph!

[MikeW]

That confused me as well, in fact I emailed the company with that question. When they explained that the HP scale is different from the TQ scale I felt kinda silly for asking, but most keep the scale the same so it's definitely confusing at first.

Yep, always look at the scale if it does not cross at 5252rpm. Also make sure the torque is not in Nm!
