been there done that...

Had my buddy pull the fuel system relay to crank the motor over without starting to prime the turbos and he pulled the wrong relay and a rag I was holding got sucked into the bottom charger. Had to pull the intercooler and clean the system.

Storx….I broke into the 12 second qtr mile yesterday. I found max power on #2 with 67lbs of boost. Here is a video of what the BD twins can do….and school a mustang at the same time: http://home.gci.net/~melton/AKRAM_vs...2_9_HI_RES.wmv

nice run AK, I had to play it in windows media player, real didn't want to do it , real serious soundin rig, lucky no birds around that sounds like it would suck pluck and chuck them pretty far down the intake.

NICE MAN.........im heading to a drag strip pretty soon.......i added a 94 corvette to my list for kills since getting the twins....i found that my best readings are at 48PSI max boost.........im ordering stage 5 fuel sticks when i get a chance......need to make the mula first...ran new dyno last night.......48PSI on the new torque converter i put 576HP, 1302TQ........

Killer run AK
What boost did you launch at? You seemed to hook in 2wd or was that 4wd?
That guy in the stang must have been laying low in the pits after that LOL

AK RAM

Thanks. A nice burnout for the camera man (and a little intimidation), then a 4wd launch at 18lbs of boost.

Nice run!! Dang!, and storx...Nice #'s, gotta get avid when u run, and and dyno vid too!

i was not able to get on the drag strip last night... the Ford Racing team had it rented out all night.... ****** me off i droove the 2 1/2 hours to get there to find this out........im hoping to be right around AK RAM in 1/4 even thought my truck ways about 2,400 pounds lighter........ AK RAM i looked into the meth/water sprayer kit and there was 3 different stages which one you have ?....
25hp/75hp/125hp?????????????????

also on the EGT my temp ran around 1050 cruising before when i had it set on 55 PSI but i have it set to 48 PSI because on the dyno it was the spot where my EGT would not move but horsepower was nice.........50PSI the EGT shot up almost 300 degrees over 48 PSI.........im trying to think of that word you mention earlyer where the drive preassure would start to take over or somethign liek that........this seems to be my happy spot tell i get bigger fuel sticks...............

MY EGT's at 48PSI are the following just wandering if there similars to yours AK RAM....

48 PSI unloaded
Cruise 550-650
WOT 900-1150

LOADED
Cruise 850-1050
WOT 1000-1200

SmokinFive9 4x4

You know you have a cool ride when you can have similiar experiences to jet mechanics. LOL. At least it didn't pull the hand you were holding it with in with it.

storx

haha.... tought about putting a window decal that we had on one of the jets in Iraq that said...

"CAUTION!!!!Bra's and Panty's could be removed by turbine"

then in the little letters it had on under the big letters it had somethign close to this dont totally remember....

"we are not responsable for the removal of ones Bras, Pantys, or Hats. But if you have any *****, gripes, or complaints please leave your phone number under the winshield wipers. We will schedule a night to have dinner, movie, and/or other extracurricular activities at ones please to talk about the removal of ones bras, pantys, or hats. Pysical examples of ones bras, pantys, or hats being removed will be requested for a proper examination. after ones removed bras, pantys, or hats are properly examinated we will get back with you in 4-6 weeks for an proper apology and maybe a request of ones removed bras, pantys, hats for an possable replacement......."

wow it was hard trying to remember it all had to call an old buddy i was there with......i just tought it was a tight *** sticker...

I got the 2 Stage 75hp. If you’re thinking about trying it, you might want to do a little research. It takes about a 50/50 water/meth mix to get 75hp out of it. At that ratio, some people get a lot of pre-detonation from the strong meth content and find a 60/40 mix works best. That is what I'm using. I don't see how they can get 125hp from it without it burning up before the cylinder gets to the top with a mixture that strong. There must be a trick to it. If it wasn’t possible, they wouldn't sell it.

My EGTs are running high 1300s, low 1400's at the end of the quarter mile. That is with 67 lbs of boost and a lot more power than they are suppose to be able to cool, so no complaints here. I have tried it as low as 55lbs of boost and my truck didn’t run as well. I haven’t tried it any lower than that. Maybe I should. Heck, with as much HP as I’m pushing through them, I may not be able to get them down that low without adding an external wastegate.

Happened to me, when i made a twin setup, it had no power lots white smoke....
turned out to be a blue shop towel on the front wheel of the little turbo
