Hello everyone! As the title says, Turbo smart gives us another performance option! I placed placed my order, and should have performance numbers by the end if next week!
The 10psi wastegate was good for an increase in HP by 30hp and Torque numbers by an increase of 40LbsFt by 3500rpm! So the 12psi should increase these numbers!
Best I've done using Track Apps is a 14.3ET! So if I can get to 13's with this wastegate, I'll be happy!
Did I miss it? Did he ever re-run the new wastegate and post the elapsed time?
I am thinking that he may have run it and missed breaking into the 13’s.....OP, if you were successful, pics of the time slip, or it didn’t happen.......:whistling:
There are enough published results to show that a bone stock Ecoboost Mustang is quite capable of dipping into the 13s in the 1/4.
There is also enough published info that says to get any benefit from a waste gate with higher spring pressure you need to adjust the tune and in a worst case you lose power because it confuses the ECU without a tune.
See what I mean people? This is why I am against making a published run! Look at the opinions thus far! Just buy the wastegate and install it, and you will love it! You don't need a tune!
OK guys, I'll make the run under one condition! That is, I'm on street tires and may not be able to put all the power to the ground! So whatever the time is, keep this in mind!
You can tell I'm just spinning the tires in the 60ft, even with traction control! 2.6 sec vs 1.9sec means a lot of tire spin! So this dictates my next mod! Drag Radials for the rear!
If you know anything about dragracing, then you understand how lopsided my ET and Trap Speed is!
14.7 at 96mph is off! Cause I ran a 14.3et at 96 as my best run! So you can see I made up alit of time very quickley!
The SOTP dont lie! She's much stronger than she used to be for sure! I'm proud of her! You gotta get the wastegate. The numbers don't lie! How do you run 14.3et @ 96mph, and 14.7er @96mph, if there is no wheel spin?
Its not a joke! With more power, you have to account for getting it to the ground! I have overpowered my street tires! This the reason I didn't want to publish the run, until it made sense! But you all wanted to know what the real numbers are, and I obliged! When 8 say I'm making 14psi in 1st and 2nd gear, I just proved it! USS my tires can grab traction with that much boost!
I usually launch at 400orpm and pull a 2.2 60ft! Unfortunately trying to do 1/4 mile run safely doesn't lend itself to a 2nd chance! I'll have to go to the track, to o properly test this wastegate!
