Thanks.

I don't think his traction is too good around here. It's pretty close to 0'f and she's been a little icy since Saturday.

khaoskustoms · 11-13-2014, 10:29 PM

Ya sorry, winter has hit and the truck is now parked till spring.

Ghostman · 11-14-2014, 09:06 AM

Ok, well thanks anyways. At least we do know you've been running it like that for a while with no issues.

There's a thread started about this in the 3rd gen performance over at CF Ghostman. One of the comments made was that there was a subtle change made, that the divider runs up the wastegate outlet now. Have you had a chance to look into this? Is that the info you got as well?

Yes, I know steed has updated their e-gate port to bring the divider all the way up now. So that's much better! I'm still contemplating what to do. I have plenty of time since I'm still about 2.5 weeks out before my primary arrives and then I can order the secondary and then the steed to build piping.

fatgraderman · 01-27-2015, 11:42 AM

I figured you'd be on top of it. Doesn't change the fact it's still gonna be a bear to get piping around.

Yep, and I'm still wondering if it's enough gate. There have been a couple guys over speed their s63/68 with only one 45-50mm gate.

I'm about as green as it gets to this, so that's good to know. Would a little Bernoulli effect from a faster spooling primary help?

How do they know they have overspeed?

Tore up both chargers. Both wheels contacted on both chargers and messed up some other stuff. Guessing due to over speeding.

At what pressures?

khaoskustoms · 01-28-2015, 10:41 AM

Without a speed sensor how do you calculate wheel speed? Can you go off the pressure ratio the turbo is making?

Ghostman · 01-28-2015, 10:47 AM

Yeah he said both primary and over all were real high pressure, I can't rememberexactly though. He has a build thread here somewhere(can't remember where); and then I think dvstr and a few other said a few things about it as well.

I just am trying to build my set correct from the beginning. I don't want to get it built with only one gate and then come to find out it isn't enough and I have to redo stuff.

Headcase98002 · 01-28-2015, 06:26 PM

Or build it without a gate?

Haha. No way, not nearly as brave as you. Talked with someone who knows his **** and he cleared it up for me. I should be fine with the single gate on the new steed manifold.

I wouldn't say I'm brave, but it runs good.

My latest steed came with a little piece that looks like it was intended to extend to divider. Anyone have experience with those? I'm assuming its meant to be welded in

I would have thought that it would come already welded in. One that come with the exhaust ports coated would almost have to be welded in and then coated. You got me baffled.
