In this thrilling episode of Adam LZ, the team delves deep into the intricate world of turbocharged cars, specifically focusing on the yellow S15's back pressure dilemma. With the dyno as their battleground, they strategically test the current setup with the wastegate recirculating into the exhaust, only to bravely venture into uncharted territory by dumping it to the atmosphere. The stakes are high as they aim to reduce back pressure, increase power, and unleash the true potential of the mighty machine.
As the revs climb and the engines roar, the team's quest for optimal performance takes a dramatic turn with the decision to upgrade to the formidable Garrett G35 900 turbo. With precision and expertise, they navigate the complexities of turbo selection, balancing power gains with spool-up times to achieve the perfect harmony of speed and control. The roar of the new turbo echoes through the dyno room, signaling a new era of power and performance for the yellow S15.
But as the team pushes the limits of engineering and technology, challenges arise in the form of fuel pressure drop issues in lower gears. Undeterred, they harness the power of the Link ECU PDM to unravel the mystery, diving deep into the intricacies of fuel pump currents and surge tank dynamics. With Maple Mike's expert guidance and a keen eye for detail, they set out to conquer these obstacles and pave the way for a smoother, more exhilarating ride.
In a symphony of turbo whistles and exhaust notes, the team captures the essence of speed and performance, showcasing the raw power and precision of their work. With rolling antilag engaged and the turbo's performance put to the test, the yellow S15 roars to life, a testament to the team's unwavering dedication and passion for automotive excellence. As they prepare to show Maple Mike the fruits of their labor, the stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to this adrenaline-fueled journey.
