Loosing boost! Help me out!
I am loosing boost. Can anybody help me out?
Or is it regular 12.3 psi boost by this modifications?
mileage: 25.000 miles
168 mm pulley
3 mm (0.12") milled of (supercharger pulley)
82 mm TB
kleemann cams
longtube headers (supersprint)
cats delete
resonator delete
ECU
slip differential
3.06 differential
> only 12.3 psi boost

I dont think your loosing boost. Your particular mods have made your engine more efficient (especially the headers and cams).
If you want more boost I'd go with a larger crank pulley.

Just enjoy it!!

Yes! It is rare!
The IAT is perfect. I am running a modified KC.
Before mods I am running a 172 mm pulley with 15.2 psi (maximum)
I am very unhappy. I don´t know if the new mods swipping the boost.
12.3 psi makes me dissatisfied!
Only by running a 168 mm pulley I got 13.8 psi (without cams and headers).

Who cares how much boost you make man, as long as your HP has increased under the curve since your new round of mods, that is all that matters. You are probably making more power now with less boost, and that is exactly what you should strive for!

i think you are feeling no power after 180 mph is because of the 3.06 rear diff... if you had the regular 2.55 rear diff, you top speed would be better... 3.06 is better for acceleration

I don´t talk about about top speed. Top speed is 202 mph with 3.06.
There is no power and by running 3.06 instead of 2.65 is more advantageous to climb fast to top speed.
For about 4 weeks my car was running stronger with the same mods.

What sort of RPM are you at at 180MPH? Are you doing any data logging to capture ignition timing, IATs, etc? I'm surprised that there are no fuel system mods in your list...... Long, top-gear pulls at WOT are pretty tough on the stock fuel system. I wonder if you are either running out of fuel or the injectors are at 100% duty cycle (static) at those kinds of speeds.

The numerically higher rear gear should make the car pull harder in top gear... He is just trading odd some top-end MPH.

As for the fueling, he must be running SOMETHING other than stock. I have a lot less stuff than he does and my car was maxed out on the stock fueling.

At 180 mph exactly 6000 U/min
At 192 mph exactly 6400 U/min
This is correct. Higher gears make the car accelerate faster in every gear at every rpm, they just limit the top speed ( this is without discussing wheel spin and fuel economy ).

168 pulley making 12.3lb of boost, something wrong with your gauge homie.

You REALLY need to datalog and you REALLY need injectors.

I feel bad since im only seeing 12.0-12.8 lbs with a 178 pulley depending on how cold it is Ill see a tad over 13lbs sometimes also and you are crazzy to do 180mph like that.

amazing thing these motors, with my v/6 i push 16 psi avg and 19 psi on a cold day. stack the pullies and you get 25 psi!!

the LSD is from wavetrac. How it made to plays nice with the TCU ask my mechanic at www.sportwagenwerk.bcd-ost.de and www.vortrieb-dresden.de
The oem boost is already 11.6 psi.
By running a 172mm for month ago I had a peak of 15.2 psi on dyno.
You have no fueling mods? You can tell the ECU to run rich but our injectors are pretty small so they max out at about 500-520whp. Any higher than that and you start to run lean. You have a lot of mods which should put you at around 550whp I'd think, and without any fueling mods I bet you are running pretty lean and the car is pulling lots of timing which could explain your car running slower up on top.
