  • In this video we test a smaller runner turbo manifold to test the gains.We were hoping for a massive powerband shift but we just didn't see it. We then test a Holset for interest sake. It was good but not that good.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

    A proper 1.25" split-pulse manifold and divided 2cm2 housing will blow any GT30 combo out the water. Sticking a 0.48 on a HX35 is holding it back severely and it becomes a mismatch of compressor vs turbine flow. Props for experimenting and trying different things. Also most South African made dyno's don't load nearly enough to see the spool differences. Did you test rpm threshold on the road ? 3rd gear loaded runs from 2000 rpm for example ?

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před rokem

      I agree with the dyno load issue. See it happen all the time with open loop boost strategy. I didn't test any of the other tested setups on the road. It wasn't exactly road friendly but I should have to see what it does on the logs.

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před rokem

      Very surprising. I've seen quite a few Holset graphs and the guys generally have good results with that turbo. More data to work with is good. Maybe there's more in it with some tweaking.

    Decent power on the GTS and on your car...have you maybe thought of doing a plenum intake? maybe there are restrictions. Just thinking out loud LOL cant say if im right or wrong

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před rokem +1

      I have thought about doing a intake but it's not cheap... for the one I want that is. There are gains to be had but it's also one of those things where if you go too big, you can lose power.

  • @armandbeyers2935
    @armandbeyers2935 Před rokem +1

    Very nice and informative content , quite interesting yet odd that the 1.25 didn't benefit mid or lowrange at all and just stayed exactly the same basically apart from top end, always wanted to experiment on this with my 20v ,, twin scroll holset spools up way faster on my 1.8t though will make positive pressure over 2000rpm and 2bar by just over 4000rpm in 3rd with a 1.25" sidewinder manifold and long runners
    Curious to see how long and short manifolds would compare aswell

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před rokem +1

      It's very odd. It was interesting but something isn't right. lol. It should have spooled up quicker. It's like it won't change no matter what combo we try. Twinscroll is great. Sounds like you've got a good combo. 2 bar just over 4k is epic. I think that setup only hit 1.8 bar around 6k rpm.

      @@lowdl doesn't seem right at all lol , when I did my research I came up on a article of a 4g63 header size experiment and it had way better low- midrange on the smaller size runners and the benefits were minimal upsizing to 1.5" and it was making 700hp , so this was very confusing to see 🙈😂 unless the 20v just needs the flow more than we thought , also loved the cam tests you did man , great content and well put out videos thanks for posting your finds on everything you're trying

      @@armandbeyers2935 I read the same article and it was very interesting. It was part of the reason I wanted to do this test. And I looked at a lot of the Badger5 graphs to see how their setups spool. I don't think my test has anything to do with the 20v flow. I think there's another issue and this just made me eager to find and fix it. There's at least 500 rpm to be gained.

    Are you running meth as well ?

      This is the turbo specs:
      Compressor Wheel: 54*67mm

      Fueling for these tests was E40 and yes I'm running meth injection. Fueling setup is stock Mk2 GTI high pressure pump.

      I haven't emptied it since it's been rebuilt nearly 2 years ago. It's starting to smoke out the breather now but there's no vapour. We had the outlet open against the wheel well and it wasn't dirty at all. I think it's because it's venting into the intake and to the catch can.

      There isn't a G28 that I know of, I think you're referring to a GTX28. Those are good. Would spool nicely but they're power limited. 500hp is probably pushing the limits on them, and I'd like to get my power to around 550-600hp eventually.

    • @lowdl
      @lowdl  Před rokem

      I didn't think a small comp wheel would make that much difference. I'll eventually go 2.0 and then this turbo will be a lot better. I'm not unhappy with the way it performs, it's just not a lot of room for error with my 3rd gear shift.
