Thanks guys...had a really fun time, and both cars ran strong and cool!

Sorry I didnt post sooner, but I seem to have caught the flu, and I am feeling pretty crappy today. Couldnt have picked a worse week to get sick.

Anyways, my times with the 700bb were two seconds faster than the older Greddy setup, and still encountered some light traffic. With the Greddy, I ran a 1:44 with zero traffic, and now with the new setup 1:42. Power with my 700bb kit was 440whp at 10psi, and Greddy had about 450whp at 9psi, so very close in terms of peak power. The 700bb kit, and the 850bb both had spool characteristics and transitional response, that seems much better suited for the circuit course. I found that I could apply power much sooner in the corner. With the small exhaust housing on the Greddy, high RPM light throttle angles, would cause an immediate 12+psi in a second, and tended to upset the chassis.

Then I switched, and drove Eagle's car with the 850bb's, and wow is all I can say. The top end thrust was impressive, and it just continued to pull strongly to redline. Becuase he was running smaller than ideal NT-01's, and street camber settings, the car was a handful to drive fast, but I did enjoy the power delivery, and didnt feel the larger turbocharger was a handicap...at least at this track. If a track required 2nd gear, then I think i would feel differently.

I am still feverish, so I applogize if my post is thrown together...i will post more details later.

 

Why other than a turbo kit, would the new set-up/700BB be faster than the Greddy kit? Have you changed alignment, gutted the car, any other changes at all Sharif?

 

I think it might be the big Hoosiers he was running, instead of the Nt-01 he had last time. When I drove his car I was like "I can get soo stupid with all this grip".

 

so how does the spool on the 700bb compare to that of the 530's?

 

How does the spool on the 700bb compare to the APS?

 

Hoosiers vs. NT-01's this time (although the hoosiers were a narrower size) which I account for 1 of those seconds. The other 2.5 seconds...could have been from increased experience at the same track. With tracking, he who puts the accelerator to the floor first wins...with respect to corner exit. And corner exit speed is one of the main contributors to a faster lap time. I just felt more comfortable with this power delivery, vs. the more violent Greddy power curve.

I ran the same suspension, alignment settings, and sway bar settings...same car weight.

 

When is full spool up on the 850bb's?
