037 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Blowing off the hose... That's my favorite one. It needs a silly amount of torque, I think 40 ft/lb. I looked it up when my Conti started going and LMS didn't tighten it even close to where it should be after tstat change. It makes a really cool whoosh when it comes off but then vehicle makes like 0 power... Didn'tike that part. As far as Xtra and SNMJim, I do hope someone breaks my record this year. I wouldn't mind seeing attempt slips so we can all discuss and try to push it past the records, happy to supply my experience to push deep into 12s. Traction is the problem if the power isn't. What do trap speeds look like? Season has maybe 4 weeks in it on the NE and I'm trying to get Conti to 12.5s but there is no mount available... Edge mount too short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
037 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 As far as road racing, get Dragy which records things as simple as 0 to 30, 60, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/2 mile. Www.godragy.com and it's been track tested by me personally and is very close to track times, like 0.05 close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmjim Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Xtra & I both thank you all for your input & recommendations and truly appreciate it. We just ask for your patience with our slow approach to a hopefully fast outcome...;-) Is Dragy an App used on the phone?

037 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Dragy is a 10 ghz GPS module that pairs with an app for performance measuring similar to a vbox but with a much more simple interface. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do U know how Dragy data/Info compares to the Logs provided by the new HPTuner that plugs N2 the OBD port and connects to the HPTuner phone App called Track Addict?

Draggy is a GPS module that attaches to your vehicle and provides acceleration data accurate with a tenth of second typically. HPTuner cannot provide this as it uses your cars sensors which are skewed from having larger wheels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Larger wheels should be easy to account for with any tuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markham12 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) I would like to thank Xtra, Snmjim and SpecialK for all their advice on upgrading my edge sport turbos. Their upgrade thread made it easy for a novice like me to find the parts I wanted. They answered my countless questions. I am have upgraded comp turbos, up intercooler, side pipe, and 170 thermostat installed today. Obviously the turbos will make the most difference. I am excited to see if it will meet my expectations. I will tune it with ZFG racing. Thanks again guys. Hopefully I don't blow anything up. LIfe is too short to go slow. ?

97novi2k Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Has anyone looked into the CRP Stage 3 turbos. I am thinking this might be a good option and try these out on my build, was surprised they aren’t mentioned here but I could have missed it. i wonder how they compare to the comp turbos, I would assume very close. https://crpengineering.com/product/2015-2019-fusion-edge-2-7l-ecoboost-stage-3-40-6mm-upgrade-turbo-set/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtra Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Here you can see the stock turbo. Notice the lip around the cast 6 blade inducer. CPR Stage 3 turbos remove this lip to fit a larger 40.6/50.8mm, 6 blade billet inducer. Comp turbos also removes this lip and hogs out the shell to the max, installing an 11 blade 44mm/57mm billet inducer. Comp turbos also works on the inside of the shell to smooth it out. CPR states that their stage 3 "CAN" make up to 425WHP. That 425WHP would be available only under ideal conditions. You could not bolt them on and magically get 425WHP. That is advertising. Every part of the system from CAI to exhaust tips, to using a top-grade fuel would all have to be in-sink to get that advertised "up to 425WHP." I have 20,000 miles and a couple of years on my Comp Turbos with no driveline or engine problems at all, just normal maintenance. Though I do change the oil every 2,500 miles and I tend to use the severe-duty guide for maintenance recommendations. It has been a super reliable combo that I would trust to drive across the USA. My car Dynoed at 348WHP on a 91 tune, that's around 130WHP more than stock. I did baseline dyno runs with a bone stock car so I could log the improvement. I am guessing around 375WHP with 93 tune I have not dynoed on 93 yet. I believe that if you are looking for MAX WHP and MAX Performance then use snmjims recommendation for turbos, I think he has been using BNR Racing Turbos for years on several different projects and highly recommends them. After all, he is the current undisputed World Champion, and soon he will be the first to drop into the 11-second range. I would go with Comp for 130 to 160 extra WHP and good reliability with a stock driveline, or BNR for an extra 260WHP and not mess with the CPR turbos, just because they are untested around here.

Markham12 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) This is interesting. I had my turbos upgraded by Comp Turbo Technology also. But mine are 6 blade vs your 11 blade Xtra. I assume there is a difference in how they run or flow. Here is a photo of stock turbo and my modified Comp turbo.

Xtra Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Markham12, I also find it interesting that Comp Turbos changed from 11 to 6 blades. Six blades must be better because technology always moves forward not backward, and my turbos are a few years old now. Your inducer looks massive compared to stock !! I also like that black finish on the case. Edited December 24, 2020 by Xtra 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
