2024 Convertible updates part 1

[@rpturbo]

Definitely looking forward to the wiring of the car videos. As someone who isn't to that level yet, I'm still wiring my own. Starting on mine in just a couple of weeks. Hopefully I learn a little something from you before I get to mine.

[@theholleyefiguy]

ive got a ton of videos on wiring, get to watching

[@MillionairX]

i learn shit just by listening to you go on rambletrons on podcasts and shit, i can't imagine the knowledge coming with these wiring videos... fuckin eh. thanks for the content.

[@ssksideshopkreationz5032]

awesome info as always Devin! thanks for covering the new control methods and thoughts behind it, in for more info as you dig into it! keep pushing forward sir!

[@TechMarcB]

3:22 congratulations you’ve made it to the final fan. It’s a beast. My car NEVER goes over 181 with that fan and not as much airflow direction/diversion of air as you have.

[@theholleyefiguy]

in testing this thing is a beast, it draws alot of amperage but moves an incredible amount of air according to my annomometer

[@Jonny_trans]

Helluva transition in the past couple years. Excited to see how that new boost control works for ya.

[@PgUpPerformance]

controlling and directing airflow is so often overlooked, then people wonder why their stuff doesnt work.

[@gafrers]

Always Updating, developing, improving and tinkering 👌👌

[@mattsantoro1480]

This is going to be bad ass ride. Always love watching your videos

[@JokersNation]

Looking good man. Can’t wait to see it next sick week.

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

I know you said you didn’t like electronic wastgates but did you consider using a dbw throttle body for your bypass valve?

[@lukk4273]

Wow that is a sick build.

[@Racestatus]

This is going to be so badass when it hits the track💪🏻💪🏻

[@bjornjonsson8488]

Goint to be interesting what happens with the new boost control stategies. And se it the turbo rpms gets too high witout wastgates relly interested in seeing the data from that :)

[@reginaldmatthews7211]

The Vert is sweet!!

[@cmdufresne]

Devin, how well did the straight-gate set up work for you during Sick Week??? Any issues to be aware of? Considering running just a straight gate set up vice wastegates in a new build underway.

[@given0fox968]

Such an impressive car. News subscriber 👍👊🇺🇸🤘

[@xozindustries7451]

I’m surprised you have the turbo inlets so low with the track temperature higher than ambient air tempo you’ll be pulling in hotter air, that’s one problem that prostock had when they went from big forward facing hood scooped to the efi motors with low mount air intakes

[@tylerzesiger7648]

Gotta keep that weight down low

[@danmyers9372]

I’m concerned about excess oil to the turbos with them down low like that. Have seen other racers try them down low like this and ended up moving them back up after trying restrictors and even a scavenge pump without success.

[@Boostismyfriend]

Looks killer

[@jasonbrinegar6759]

Devin, if I could make a suggestion. Thicken up the leading edge of the splitter to 1/2'' the current knife edge will create unwanted turbulence and you may not get the most efficient air forced into your bumper openings. ideally the splitter should also run back under the nose some as well, if possible maybe stop it at the leading edge of your catch pan? This will really clean up the air in front of the car and aid in making downforce.

[@theholleyefiguy]

the splitter is 3/8th thick everywhere. it goes under the car about 8 inches behind the bumper where it runs into the belly pans

[@jasonbrinegar6759]

@theholleyefiguy oh okay, nice! Guess I should've paid closer attention to the video. It appeared to be a little thin mold pull lip most companies pass off as a splitter.

[@danmyers9372]

Hope you don’t have issues with excess oil in the turbos with them down low like that.

[@sellis330]

So what convinced you to try boost management by BOV? I know Yost was trialing something like this in his Camaro. Excited to see how this turns out.

[@theholleyefiguy]

uploading a video right now to answer this

[@Kincentc]

Very surprised to see HPT turbos over FIS/Precision/Comp. You a fan of how light they are or do they hang with the big boys too?

[@theholleyefiguy]

in my opinion the hpt line up is top shelf. Fis makes badass turbos, i ran their 118 for a long time and sell alot of their turbos to customers, for my application i felt like these were the perfect choice

[@Bill-flatplanefool]

This is cool. Is the straight gate a little rough on the turbo since they don’t really reduce shaft speed or exhaust through the turbine ?

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

They will reduce shaft speed. More compressor flow demands more power with finite exhaust flow(turbine power) shaft speed will decrease.

[@lukk4273]

Would this also drive turbine back pressure up at the same time? I could see it being usfull to eliminate compressor surge.

[@Turbochargedtwelve]

@@lukk4273 drawing more power from the turbine will increase exhaust manifold pressure.

[@minitrucker04]

Can you keep us updated on the fan setup and if it works out for you. Do u plan on selling ur other radiator and fan setup?

[@theholleyefiguy]

i certainly will. the other rad fan combo is sold

[@dirtymuleracing5321]

Hi Devin, just a quick question I hope you can answer, I see your alternator is grounded to the cylinder head. I have a MSD alternator, should I be grounding it? Thank you.

[@theholleyefiguy]

It won’t hurt

Is your old rad for sale? And what are the dimensions on it?

love the update on the car, Devin can you do a Holley vs. Haltech Rebel review or comparison? Is it worth it? Thanks!

All this skill and talent wasted on a ford that is not a Festiva! Nice work bringing drag and drives up a notch!

[@theholleyefiguy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@dougsmith4513]

I'm suprised that a guy who loves electronics and does an amazing job I might add. Is nit in favor of E gates. The control thru the computer is way more precise and you rely zero on air..

[@theholleyefiguy]

in theory it should be, in practice its not

[@dougsmith4513]

@@theholleyefiguy how so?

[@SloppyMechanics]

check out a few videos ago with ryan tuerck's truck that has e gate and motec and very smart people and they abandoned it for a pneumatic. if they had to throw in the towel imagine what those situations can be like for people and professionals not at that level.
