So it’s been a while I’ve been super busy. I wanted to share my results that were unexpected.

I was literally shooting by for 475whp using meth and 450 using e30 only with an xdi pump.
The e30 was as expected. First run was 421whp on a map I literally threw together there as I hadn’t even made one specifically for e30 with xdi pump on the car yet.
the 3rd pull resulted in 448whp.
Goal essentially met.

So I threw the conservative street methanol tune in.
First meth pull 471whp. I was surprised to see this much. The whole idea was keep torque lower to keep the tune safe along with very conservative ignition timing for this application.
I literally kept the ignition timing below 93 octane levels below 5000 rpm.
I still only equaled about what 91 and e20 could do at 7000 rpm ignition timing wise.
My literally 2nd meth pull I hit 505whp.
The set up is a g25-660 with xdi pump stock injectors, my custom direct port meth plate and 750cc meth mixed with e30 and 93 octane. This combination allows up 3-4 more degrees of timing without knock whatsoever. Each degree could literally add up to 7-10whp.

the reason for thesoft torque curve is 100 percent intentional.
It’s a not a indication of turbo spool whatsoever being I’ve spooked the g25-660 with a .72 AR at 3500 with no issues hitting hard at 4000 and never falling off. The last pull I took a tiny bit of aircharge out at 6500 and 7000 and added .75 degrees at 6200 to bring the power curve to my liking. Remember I literally have 4 degrees of timing and only 22 psi at 4000 rpm. I could easily push 27 plus psi at 4000 rpm.
Peak boost was 28 psi but the air temp was 87 degrees an intake iat approaching 115 degrees.

I didn’t have proper dyno fans partially my own fault.
On the highway getting cool air the peak boost was 26 psi 27 max.

I have since switch to a .92AR and the exact expected results happened.
More top end so yes currently I am making more than shown here.
Spool moved to 4000 and response to 4500 but from lower back pressure 2 psi lower and I’ve raised the limit to 7400 only because I am not dealing with back pressure associated with smaller AR.

Yes there are bigger numbers on some dynos I’m not after records. I’m also on stock injectors and I have to leave enough room that if the meth fails I won’t detonate the engine or go completely leaned out.

I will say the full race MAF housing gets maxed out using this turbo way earlier than I thought it would. I’m once again MAF housing limited. On to bigger custom MAF housing next.
time for a true 3.75 ID MAF not a 3.35ID which is what the internal diameter measure if the full race MAF housing.
Yes I checked 3 times with a micrometer.

Can you share any details on this custom meth plate? I assume it's for port injection?

Nice work John! were you able to sort out the fueling issues you were seeing near redline? Im assuming so

Any photos for what you have under the hood and how your setup looks? Can't find any photos of your build on the forums.
