Turbo Theory | ||||||
By reducing reversion and intake air temperature we should be reducing the chances of detonation which should allow us to run more boost on pump gas. When the low compression bottom end is done, I am figuring that at least 17 psi should be possible on good old 91 octane pump pee (the highest available here in CA). On stock compression we are hoping for 15 psi with the aid of a sophisticated 3-D mappable water injection system and 10-12 psi without it turned on. Although test car #1 is not planning to be adrag race, nor is this car set up for drag racing, if it did, with a drag racing suspension and slick set-up, this combination could push his car into the 12’s with about 400-420 hp to the wheels@20-23 psi on race gas. The main intent is to give those turbo Porshe’s hells at Willow springs and Buttonwillow, once we figure on how to get that hp to the ground! Big thanks to M.K. for the help! |
