I have a boost issue right now, I think the bov is opening during boost and was thinking of measuring the pressure pre and post intercooler. I don't see any signs of belt slippage but that could still be the issue as well. So frustrating.
Yeah on my last turbo setup I had a 6psi wastegate pressure non intercooled. With a cheap eBay cooler it dropped to 1psi and after multiple boost leak tests I realize it was the cooler.
Yall going with the big 91r unit next? Hopefully! Can't wait to see if that's it! Is that the treadstone intercooler the mr bling kit came with? I'm saving up for that kit.
It’s a 5” treadstone and I think the Mr bling kit comes with a 3” but we ran the 3” for two years before switching to this one! We didn’t get to test the 3” bc we no longer have it but I’d imagine it’d be close to the same results as the 5”
Were you running the same timing between all 3? One big prob, esp on ethanol, is tuners get scared of IAT's hotter than tap water, when really you only need to worry when it can fry an egg. 180F at 190kPa flows the same oxygen into the engine as 110F at 170kPa, so a dirt-cheap core with less restriction (and poor cooling) might actually do even better.
Also this was more about measuring restrictions. We did run no intercooler at one time but intake temps were so high that even having more boost still dropped power.
Great video guy’s! Very cool test! Would be cool to see the pre and post charge air temps with just a shop fan blowing on the front. Would also be cool to see boost right before and right after the intercooler! But awesome video guys keep up the good work!!!! Is the surprise a little wif of spray 🤔🤔🤔 lol 🤟🤟🤟
Is there a number I can call you guys to do some work..... Well to be honest actually to install Torque Storm Since you guys have so much experience with it
I think we may do the same test between the treadstone and the frozen boost one on the s2k to see if it makes the same power with both. Turbos are easy to crank the boost on.
Lol on my Datsun it went from wastegate pressure of 6psi with no intercooler. And when I installed an ebay cooler it could barely build 1psi. I ended up having to get a boost controller to see more boost. With my 300zx I went ahead with a Kraftworks cooler but it’s too small now I need a bigger core for 600hp.

Which model treadstone intercooler is this?

Thanks
@@gapfactorygaragellc was the 3" treadstone on the car when you saw the bov seep open? thank you!
@JH11JH yes but we also changed some other things around. We did not have a dedicated vac line for the bov. And that may have also helped
@@gapfactorygaragellc right on, thank you for the info! Which video shows the bov seeping open? I'd like to check that one out

Only thing changed was intercooler

We will find out the surprise on Tuesday. If anyone coming to street car takeover this weekend then they will see it now lol
Link for the no corners cut intercooler?
treadstone is the real winner in my opinion, especially since its at least $300 cheaper
It’s definitely still a pretty good intercooler!
Where you buy the Hood scoops?
They come on the G8 GT, and GXP.
Over here in AUS, it’s a Holden VE and they’re on the HSV GTS, R8, and Maloo..

We really just work on our own cars. As of right now we don’t actually do customer cars bc our full time jobs don’t allow us a whole lot of time to.
Awesome video
Some body must be getting the bigger torque storm blower! 😂😂😂
was this with the 84mm or 75mm
75mm
I've probably asked before but what fuel pump are you guys running and injectors?
A dw 350 and a walbro 400 for fuel pumps. Injectors are 1650
Great video ! I was always one who thought it wouldn’t matter what inner cooler you put in.
I think we may do the same test between the treadstone and the frozen boost one on the s2k to see if it makes the same power with both. Turbos are easy to crank the boost on.
Are you running E85?
Yes it’s on pump e
Where are you guys located?
We’re in northern Indiana
do you still have the truck?
Yes the truck is still around. It’s in the chassis shop still.
@@gapfactorygaragellc ready to see it back out!
It will be a little bit yet. The s2k is to make up for that being down
All air to air intercoolers?
Yes they are
Twin torquestorm
Lol we wish but there’s not much room for that in the engine bay
Sweet good bye “eBay” cheap intercooler for me. 😅😂
