Air Duct Experiment – Part 1

Background: What about that air duct? In a previous post, I mentioned that I had noticed some abnormally high turbocharger compressor outlet air temperatures recently. More typically the peak temperatures with my IS38 turbocharger are about 50 degrees Fahrenheit lower than what recent temperatures have been. I speculated one possibility was that I had not […]

CTS intake and DBV2 TIP Hybrid Flow Test

Intake Testing for Hybrid Turbos

Background: Previously a post was made that showed how using a Hybrid optimized turbo inlet elbow made a significant difference to airflow through an Integrated Engineering intake when used in conjunction with a larger turbo compressor housing inlet. This post continues an investigation of the effectiveness of the DBV2 turbo inlet elbow for increasing airflow

Stock DV Active

Disconnected DV

Conducted a quick experiment to see what the intake pressures did with a disconnected DV (Diverter Valve). Comp is the pressure at the compressor outlet measured inside the turbo muffler. The Boost pressure rises above the upper limit of the stock pressure sensor, indicated by the flat-lined dark blue line just after the Throttle closes.
