Ok iv had the crossfire here at Buckhead imports here in ATL for some time now. I would drive the 2 1/2 hr trip when I was able to work on her with there guidance. Well we started the dyno yesterday and at first I was a lil worried but Tony (aka sexual chocklet) told me it was normal numbers starting out the tune. Well this morning after watching Fast Five late late last night and wasn't able to sleep much I awoke to Tony telling me somthing was wrong. My hart dropped to my feet I started to get sick then he stated she's out of gass but her best run so far is at 412. I was soo pissed and happy at the same time but anyway I'm still here at the shop and she's up to 454 now and will do more. I'll let you guys know

 

That is great news Eric.... but we need some better pics of what you did... is this the rear mount turbo??

Details man.... come on... (or are the details in another thread?)

 

I knew u would get that thing straightened out.,congrads,, now get some miles on her ,,you could drive (brake in miles) down to PBIR ,and we could see how she likes the track. i should have V8 # 2011-01-03 ready for the track soon myself,,,Rudy is driving it down to me within the next two weeks. jim

 

This is a rear mount turbo...as there is not very much space anywhere else to house the turbine~! Im very curious to see what this how this set up is going to hold up...I was motivated at one point to try the same thing. keep us posted

 

Great numbers Eric. Congrats on sticking with this project and getting to the pay off. Will we see you and the Twincharged Crossfire at the fall Dragon?

Grats on the v8. ) were not dun yet we just uped the fuel pressure and hooking it back on the dyno for some more tuning

 

Those are some BIG numbers... congrats!

 

Not sure yet on the dragon.... $$$$$$ is going to b short this year after all the work on the crossfire . But I want to

 

Okay, I thought I had seen a thread on it..... congrats on getting it worked out... look forward to seeing the track numbers too....

 

I think I'm going to need a LSD and some slicks for the track

 

With those numbers you're going to need a LSD and LOTS of slicks......


We should be getting the Wavetrac units pretty soon now.......

 

Eric, Great numbers! That is totally awesome. Would be nice to swing by
Buckhead Imports and take a gander at your car. I've been looking for an
excuse to go over there, and have spoken to them about installing the LSD
when I get it.

545 HP, at the wheels? I just find that number amazing. I suggest you
buy stock in the tire manufacturer you like best. You are going to need
it. So, you say you are still at the shop? Going to be there tomorrow?

OP was 454HP, unless you got another update that we didn't??

 

Did I put 545 I ment 454 and yep on the ground I beleave Jason wants to get 500 out of her though so she's going to be on the dyno agen tomarrow. So yep I'll be there let me know when you will be coming over so I don't miss yea

 

No, my dyslexia is showing again. I meant 454 But, that is still freakin
awesome!

Coyote

 

Well, I just might slide by the shop when I make the run from
the office to home, tomorrow between 11:30 and 12:30. I
take it this would be at the performance shop in the Vinnings
area?

Congrats on the numbers!

Can you create more boost without making the supercharger spin faster? e.g. what Eric is doing, having a twin turbo blow air into the supercharger.

Opposed to getting larger crank pullies to make the supercharger spin faster to create more boost?

The reason I ask this is because if the boost created by the turbo makes the supercharger spin faster just like a crank pulley would it's pointless on 2 levels.

1. It will end up destroying the supercharger as I believe its limited to somewhere between 17,000 - 18,000 RPMS. Any faster and it will literally melt.

2. If you really wanted to toast the charger you could get a 200mm crank pulley and run a Code 3 or something similar and make 30+ psi boost.

However if Eric's method doesnt make the supercharger spin faster and still increased boost then its a fantastic mod.

I'm not sure of the technical aspect so just putting it out there.

 

I'm not to familiar with the area but the add is Cumberland Pkwy Se 1600
Smyrna GA. I drive from Augusta down 20west then turn right onto 285 heading north then S Cobb dr ext turning left over the overpass then right when you get to Cumberland parkway SE and you will see a BMW/merc sighn on the right side of the rd. Buckhead imports is the 2nd bilding

 

Congrats Eric. That is very impressive!!!!

Kolevski, your last assumption is correct. Eric is increasing the pressure of the air going into the SC. It does not cause it to spin any faster. Think about it..... The turbo is forcing air into the SC.... The SC will only spin as fast as the belt is turning the pulley. If the turbo caused the SC to spin faster, it would make the pulley spin faster as well as everything else that the belt spins. That would be an awful mess. LOL
