Power levels adjustable from 450 RWHP on pump gas to 675 plus RWHP with race gas.

"Our 2005 Mustang GT test car with our PipeLine Intercooled Turbo System has gone a best to date of 10.65 @ 131 MPH at the NMRA Bowling Green event. This car currently retains the stock longblock and the stock clutch and transmission."

i think im reading it right but i just want to make sure.. they did all of this on stock internals? if so, do turbos put less stress than s/c's on engines or are they just getting lucky and pressing their luck?

they also are making one for v6

Power levels adjustable from 285 RWHP on pump gas to 450 plus RWHP with race gas.
Our V6 test car with our PipeLine Intercooled Turbo System has gone a best to date of 11.81 @ 117 MPH

my main question is.. are turbos less stress on engines than superchargers?

andyman

i watched the powerhouse gt run an 11.13, so yes it is true

Hufenstang

oh i believe its true, im just wondering if the turbo system puts less stress or not on the engines vs a s/c if they were running 650rwhp on a stock block..

andyman

Here is the vid of that.... he said the run before that one was a 10.9x or something.

im currently building my own turbo system

Hufenstang

your making your own? how is that going, do you have much experience with that or is it just a project your doing for fun?

blackfoot

yeah i bought a pipe bender , im using exhaust tubing to make my intake pipes.. i got my hands on a T3/T4 but tis too small for the application, im looking for a T61 (same turbo from a grand national), i got turbo experiance but this is my own custom project. i have my hands on a intercooler, just waiting for it to get shipped in. my buddy just got back from china and through a factory hes hooked up with will mass produce my syste, and if my blue print is succesful ill be selling my product

I wouldn't say that turbos put less stress on motor internals than a SC. Powerhouse is setting the boost much higher on their test cars than on the system they sell to the public and are pushing the motors really hard. Most manufacturers do this in the interest of testing.

powerhouse only blew their 7.5 rear ends in their V6'ers dumping the clutch at 5000rpm

dont be stupid to the car and it wont be stupid to you

I would say with out a doubt turbos put less stress on the motor's internals for this simple fact. They have no parisitic drag in other words S/C'd cars have a belt driven pully in essence they needthe engine to turn the pully so they can produce more power. This process rob's the engine of power. AND puts more stress on the motor.This is why you always see turbo charges making more power per pound of boost than S/C cars. I'm making 480RWHP and 515RWTQ on 11#boost with AFR under 12. Meaning this is very conservative. With no other mods. I'm other wise stock.

Power House kit comes with two springs a 9# and 11# spring. They are running the car into the 10's on 20# of boost they basicly but both springs into the waste gate. So they are running the identical kit they they are selling. They are pushing the car to the extreme limit but it's to showthe potential of thierkit. Theydont recommend you go over the 11# spring even though a lot of peopledo with aboost controller or diffrent springs.

Also the reason thererunning low 10's is not the turbo by it's self. It's got the full catalog of CHE suspension parts which really make the car hook at launch along with slicks andracing wheels etc.....
