Lots of boost and methanol

[Wojomojo]

Still doing some data logging with Torrie but my car is running insane right now with a 80/20 blend of methanol. The entire first gear chirps tires and the beginning of second too. Pulls extremely hard all the way through past 100.

So right now I'm hitting 21-22 psi on stock turbos. I had no idea they could hit that?! Still have zero knock and car's running 15 degrees cooler under wot than before methanol (also added a 170 thermostat). Here is a picture showing 21.9 psi of boost (used to see 16.5 before meth)

Glad to see your meth kit is working out. Have you tried 100% meth yet? Im running 90%m 10%w.

I see boost levels in that same area and sometimes higher even.

Upload your data log so we can look at the detailed info.

[Wojomojo]

Haha will do I'll upload a data log tomorrow. I haven't tried 100% yet. Torrie said he generally likes to do 80/20 so I figured I'd try that out and so far so good. From researching most say 80/20 is the best in most cases because of various reasons.

Was this with the current 80/20 meth tune?
344awhp and 375 awtq on a mustang dyno called "The Heart Breaker"

[Wojomojo]

No that was before the methanol and 170 thermostat. That was just the 3 bar/airaid/tune

Nice to see others jump'n in on the Meth addiction.

Continued successes!

The 2x psi are spikes only, right?  The turbos (Garrett GT15-based for transverse) are quite inefficient at that point.  There's been discussions on here about the best "range", I believe the boundary is 18 psi.

The turbos may become more inefficient at over 18 psi but it's not like u hit a brick wall...I run them to 20 psi everyday and I don't use meth or any of that stuff....the meth helps and is good I'm not arguing that I just prefer to keep mine simple for now

[11BLKFX4EB]

Those are great numbers! What meth kit are you running? And what was outside air temp at that reading?

[J-Will]

AHH!!!!!  I want meth so bad!

I am waiting for two more pieces to the puzzle before I can take the plunge:
pre installed bung on a noise-eliminator pipe
reservoir large enough to be useful, designed and installed where the factory intake box would be (the space the MDesign intake frees up... also, I need to buy the MDesign intake )

When I hit 22 it's very briefly, but I do hang around in the 20s for a little while when it starts a new gear under wot. As the middle/end of 2nd and 3rd gear come the boost drops slowly down into the teens

I am curious to see how long these tiny turbos last at this boost level....I have toasted my share of small T series turbos boosting over their comfort zone.

I feel bad for you...wonder what other mechanical problems may have contributed to your problems...I've never had turbo problems and I make them suffer....wonder how the turbos on diesel trucks survive?..same basic turbo design as far as the chra goes...they boost to the moon....even the guys that run 20 plus psi on these turbos don't spend a lot of time there

This just furthers the notion more that I need to datalog! What device are you using to datalog if you don't mind me asking? I'm stuck with all Apple products in the household so using a Windows based computer isn't really an option unfortunately, was thinking of picking up a cheap android tablet.
