The Dyno Went... Interestingly... (Patreon)

You guys probably saw I posted a new video on YouTube! Sorry for not sharing it early here but I wasn't allowed to since it was a special "brand video"

BUT I do have some news and content from the dyno day with the Volvo! Unfortunately, it didn't go as well as we hoped. The car didn't break but it didn't make nearly as much power as we'd hoped. 830whp on e85 with the bigger turbo (only 70 more HP than the small turbo and 93). It seems like there is some other restriction in the turbo system, likely the hotside of the turbo kit (manifolds and such) and the tight downpipe. We probably have to redo the entire turbo setup to unlock the full potential of the engine...

The other bad news is that the engine is still producing metal. Where from? I have no idea. Is it bad? I also don't really know. Let me know what you guys think. That oil filter/metal is about 100 miles of street driving and the dyno.

Definitely annoying after all the effort we've put into this thing...

All those shavings will add up to some good weight reduction

What if you sent some oil to blackstone laboratories for analysis? They could probably help narrow down the source of the metal

My supercharged mustang has similar amounts of metal in the oil filter when I cut it open. I asked online in Facebook groups and many say it’s common. They told me if it’s running fine and making good oil pressure to just send it. I switched to 5w-50 per my tuners recommendation

How much boost for 830hp? My car with a the restrictive hooker turbo manifold set up and a ton of exhaust leaks made nearly 950 on 18pounds. I know I’ve got more displacement but number seems a little low for E.

Gingium

Yeah right? It’s on 22lbs

Gingium

Yeah my engine builder seems to think it’s relatively normal

Matt Cayton

Could also be your intercooler that’s your restriction. That turbo should gain power well into the mid 20lb range. You should be able to run the number you want with what you have now tho so I wouldn’t stress to much over it.

Gingium

What intercooler/charge pipe sizing do you have?

Matt Cayton

3in pipe with just an eBay 3in core intercooler. Don’t recall face size but it’s pretty big. Fits perfectly between headlights.

Gingium

Yeah myn is all 3” as well. Certainly isn’t big enough to cool the air, but that’s why I have the water/metb

Matt Cayton

What size hot side do you have? I ran a 2.5in crossover and then 3 inch to turbo and 4 inch dump out the fender.

Gingium

2.5” combining at the turbo, 4” downpipe but stepping down to 3.5” right before the cutout

Matt Cayton

Ya I’d look into the intercooler being your restriction all of that exhaust is well within what works. Temperature of intake air is less important than flow. You will make more power with hot free flowing air than restrictive cold air.

Gingium

Mhhhh good to know 🫡

My bro had an issue on his LS6 where metal would just keep coming. Cam bearings were his issue. Super weird.

Time to put a Redblock back in! 830whp isnt too hard for them. Hell the Swedes run stock headgaskets up to 600-700hp lol! Krister Adeen holds the 4 cylinder power record in Europe with his 1600whp Redblock and is currently shooting for first Redblock to hit the 2000 mark lmao.

Andrew Jutras

get some big powah from steve morris!

@Gingium, I was wondering during if my family may stop by and see the shop on our way down to Florida around July 13th. We live in west TN. I'm originally from Peoria,IL. I've been subbed to you on YouTube since ur gaming days before you even had the old black Subaru.
