Sorry Dave.
Lon, you're approved.
Spectators are welcome at the dyno. Please come and learn how to dyno a car, and how we get the power we do out of our TPI engines.
Also, if you cant make it during the day but want to come to the meeting, watch this space and I will post when we're leaving the dyno and heading to the restaurant.

I'm going to try to make it early in the AM, hoping I can get a couple of pulls and get back to San Diego by noon to work on my other car!

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
Maxing out their fuel pumps. Not sure if good or bad? Sign of progress ?
Lowest numbers of the day were 270-ish HP and 300 torque. ( correct me if
I'm wrong) .

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
I really hope it's not the fuel pump. It's not even a year old. I changed out the fuel filter and it seems it gave my car some of its ***** back. Time for another Dyno.

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
Sure. It could be clogged so bad that all a car will do is idle. So it just depends on how badly clogged it was. It will affect the flow rate or how many gallons per minute it will alow to flow. It can still create pressure if there is hardly any flow against a dead head.

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
I just hooked my dynotune digital nitrous guage to read my fuel pressure in-car.. I am seeing pressure drop with my turbo setup. It's a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator also.. 55psi idle, 62at 0 boost, 65psi at boost/low rpm and it drops down to 40-45psi in upper rpm...damn.. ill try a new filter and then drop in an extra walbro if I need to. It's nice data to see! Also hooked up my method kit and made my.boost guage illuminate when the method kit is powered on.. no need to have boost guage illuminated until boost is being read. Awesome...
Nice numbers guys!!

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
Yeah, stock block with 70,000 miles on it (very hard miles). My last run my boost was around ~22-24psi. That's about all my 6152 turbo can do with the ported heads letting it free flow into the engine.

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
Well done indeed gentlemen!
Question, are these fueling issues a result of sucking the fuel rails dry requiring more pump and/or larger diameter fuel line or simply not enough injector causing them to go static?

Re: SoCal TPI Dyno Day Saturday December 15th
sorry , i got the HP numbers wrong . I finished this video at 4 AM this morning , crashed then uploaded the video around 7 Am . In hindsight i should never render videos at those hours with little sleep.

Great work on the video. Not like it matters much but my Iroc is an 87, not an 88.
