Can't find the Facebook posts anymore, but here are some nice spool street threads to read:
https://www.sp ools treet.co m/threads/ekp-active-cooling.6329/page-4 The instructions from et3 also says the factory wiring is near it's limits and should be upgraded if you want to push more power.

https://et3design.com/installation%2...ctions_2_2.pdf That would be a no go for me unless there is a way to get air in there in a non-visible manner. Beefing up the internals (larger gauge wires, heat sinks, etc.) to handle the current does seem like a better solution to me (which the ET3 Design EKP does to some extent). Alternatively... I imagine the only time the EKP really gets hot is under continuous load, I could just pop off the side cover when I head to the track. For street driving, I doubt the lack of air should pose a problem if you do pulls here and there. Still, not a pleasant thought if I forget to do so I'll have my car needing to be towed due to all the connectors melting. |

Curious for those running PS2's and similar. I am experiencing high WGDC %. Fixed a boost leak, but it did not change the duty cycle/boost much at all. Expected it to drop quite a bit. Its getting to 19lbs targeting 20, but wgdc is still high around 90+%...Expected it to drop into the 80's after the fix...anything else I should look at thats not obvious? Thinking maybe wastegate % is not actual since not factory turbo(?) 70% doesn't actually mean its 70%(?)

The only thing I see that can potentially be an issue is the size of the intercooler and MAYBE the DP (but that shouldn’t be a WGDC issue…), but I don’t know if I believe that myself. Are you sure there isn’t a leak? Have you compared logs to anyone else on what their WGDC is at the same PSI?

We're also going to turn it up some to see if we're just being too conservative(?). It currently breaks traction at the top of 2nd and pulls hard in third at 19/20lbs. Then the dyno in the next week or so to really turn it up. Get the power coming in earlier and turned up more. |

Yeah Im going through some issues too trying to get my Pure 750 boosting. Currently on my second revision and I have the car all back apart. Tune is targeting 22 psi and Im missing it by 2 psi and then it starts to fall off. I come closest to my target around 4400rpm. My tuner thinks I have a pretty big boost leak. Only thing I was able to find is my turbosmart blow off valve was leaking at the side openings. It wasnt huge but it was enough to make bubbles with soapy water. Im gonna contact turbosmart tomorrow.
Im also gonna contact Evolution Racewerks as I have their one intercooler piping for my F10 intercooler to charge pipe but Im hoping they have the boost tube too. Right now Im using the FTP one and its the biggest POS Ive ever had to use. I have some logs I can share tomorrow. I also had someone from Germany contact me asking about my turbo as he also has one and is struggling with building boost and putting down power. Hes already had it on the dyno and sent me the graph so maybe I can share that too. |

Also maybe you can tell me when you do your boost leak check where yours are coming from and what your turbosmart does leakage wise. I see leakage coming from between my inlet and turbo but thats on the vacuum side so that doesnt matter.

My turbo inlet is the Pure billet inlet and its a 3” billet inlet with a full 3” custom intake that goes all the way to the front/ grill of my car. I will be offering this for sale when I launch my online store with In house performance soon. Getting it powdercoated with Maf option and with flanges for your pcv heater valve and pcv hose.

This is a pic of Pures Billet inlet and then a pic of it on the car. Unfortutnaly Its currently at the powdercoater but this was what it looked like on the car with out the flanges welded on. Ill have pictures of the kit once its done. Hopefully in the next 2 weeks. 3 inch is a pain in the a$$ to get into that space but I was able to do it with the right bend.

the FTP is a copy of the old PS2 inlet and not much different than the others..At least the V2. Those were hitting 550+ wheel...Would love to have definitive data of the above though.

amuro, Im referring to the f87 platform and aftermarket inlets.
Ive read thru scottygrapes thread. He’s got the new pure setup on his, billet adapter. He may have a custom setup though as his silicon piece wasn’t correctly made. I have the ftp v2 on mine..Hopefully once the leak is sorted and final tuning is done I can see if this inlet is an issue. Last edited by VGSON; 05-18-2023 at 06:55 PM.. |
