About the cam angle, in my own article on the turbo conversion (MVM Dec 2002, p65), I give the explanation as stated by Bill, however, I'm not sure what reference was used (old age and all that). Bill, if you have a reference to a manual, let us know. Thanks,

Ahhh, very good , Bill, if that's so, it does explain the power (boost) from my engine, which seems to be comparable to engines with the "fuel turned up". Perhaps, the "stock turbo" guys should also tinker with the smoke cam when increasing the fuel delivery. My compensator is not bypassed and...

Devin, those are interesting readings! My engine was N/A and I added the turbo (D) and the gauges a couple of years ago. I did not change the fuel delivery and my boost has pegged 12.5 psi. 11 psi is routine when driving in the hills around here. A couple of points, #1, the fuel delivery is less...

Wonder what the readings are for a stock turbo engine with factory settings. They don't have the gauges and no feedback on the EGT in particular....

If you know the cylinder volume of the engine and the rpm you can calculate the amount of air that the engine can possibly "suck" in. For a naturally aspirated engine that amount is 173 cubic ft/min at 2,500 rpm. If you have a boost of 15 psi (1 bar), the amount is doubled. The way I see it...

Interesting, so you are getting the air from inside the engine compartment, then?

The above picture was taken some place East of Lexington, Kentucky on I-64, don't know the elevation. I have observed about the same readings at various elevations, from a few hundred feet (North Carolina I-40) to 2,000-3,000 feet (Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains). In any case, this is when I...

John Doe, you may need to check your fuel filters. More boost should be expected with the fuel turned up, etc. Below is a picture of the gauges in my deuce. There is glare to contend with , but the readings are 1,150 F and 12.5 psi boost. I have not tampered with the fuel delivery (yet). The...
