Why would you want to use a smaller fuel return then the supply?

Just curious, because in most cases, in a system that is designed for fluid flow such as hydraulics, a larger return is commonly used.

Are you using a smaller return to create a higher pressure?

Aeromotive specs either a -6 or -8 return for that regulator. I just bought one.

Well just ordered my turbo today, should receive it in a couple of days, going to be ordering the Haltech and some gauges come the begining of next week, trying to have this done by mid March, or at least able to crank up and run somewhat.

Master Power T70 with the antisurge front cover, according to UPS it should be here tomorow.

I was planning on using the Haltech E6X but from reading I think i'm going to spluge a little more money and go with the E8

And I thought I had overkill with two A1000's, lol, an Eliminator itself can support a rotary to beyond 800hp, couple that with an A1000 and you're looking at some crazy pumping power!

These stories I assume are about the tigger noise.

I have experience this briefly but after adjusting the CAS and filters (5min) I never saw a spikes again. I really like the X as a unit and would hate to go back to the k for dos.

the 8's nice but you use factory sensors and wiring and in out cars i'm not such a big fan.




As for this compression debate I think alot of it has to do with not understanding compression properly.

Dynamic, static, and effective compression must be understood.

Here is the formula for effective compression

((boost psi / 14.7) + 1) x motor compression = effective compression.

There is a reason high hp turbo cars run lower CR.

This is only done because of air temperatures.

That big IC can lower your intake temps from your tubo (dynamic compression).

You engine rotors cannot cool the air that it compresses (static compression).

Hot air with fuel is a bad thing and I think most ppl will agree with me on that one.

If you cool your intake down alot (alcohol, water injection, etc) you can run higher CR to a point.

Laws are laws and PV=nrt will always be there to haunt you.

You simply get more power from dynamic than you will from static b/c of cooling.

You get to a point of diminishing returns just like most things in life.

Same deal with larger turbos. It's not that you run higher psi it's that you run cooler dynamic compression and also reduce exhaust back pressure.




I have installed and monitored a OBX manifold on a FC. It has done it's job and I have been pleased.

Some things you can go cheap on and others I don't believe you should as RTed has stated. I have noticed RTed is not like alot around this forum but I think he helps keeps it honest and in check. I think the turbo will be a weak point.

I don't visit the 2nd section very often any more so prolly won't check back but looks good and keep working and enjoy what you are doing.
