HEXON RR550 - Turbo Review by WedgePerformance

I'm around 460/533 as well. I get the feeling our DCT will not hold up to this @ LMB

One can argue this, but I try not to make assumptions about limits as our past indicates we are not good at assuming limitations on this platform.

30Psi? Hexon reccomended 25psi max, why reason why you logged with 30? just to show the limits?

Yeah, I know... I didn't have my meth installed. Took out my HFS4 when I put the PI in and wow, what a mistake. I should have been running 35 psi, but my IATs were killing me. Stupid AMS FMIC just doesn't do the job.

Was running with AD Engineering. Andy said his intake temps never got above 118 and it was almost 100 that day. His hot side was @ 600 deg. Talk about heat exchange. I'll have a new AD Engineering FMIC before next year.

You might think my actions are reckless running the turbos at 30 psi, and frankly you're correct.. But if you were looking to buy them, wouldn't you want to know that some joker like me pushed them beyond there limits to make sure what you buy is a quality product?

That's what I said when I was talking with Wayne! Haha, let someone else push them to their limits while I wait on mine to arrive and go the recommended 25psi until they're proven to work better.
I have meth also but I'm at mile high altitude so this sucks,

Also I thought running meth and PI wasn't recommended? Why is that? And are they're any concerns when you plan to install it again

Two reasons to run meth, Octane and IAT. With port you don't need Octane, but with a small nozzle you can control IATs.

Anyway, long story short, I listened to blah blah blah and took it out when I installed the PI and now I wish I still had it because I still find times where I want to run pump and need the meth.

What I really need is a valve to switch between E85 and my Aux 4 gal tank with Isopropyl Alcohol and run ICE injection off the PI.

I love this episode.

So even on e85, you would use it for AIT? I also have pure alcohol in my tank, would you use that for cooling or 50/50 water to meth?

altostratus · 09-01-2015, 07:12 PM

Those numbers get me even more excited.

Don't really need the knock control so 100% Meth is what I would use.

I picked up a new tank. ;-)

WEDGE didnt you just do a roll race event? wheres the vids?

Redbmwm33 · 09-09-2015, 01:26 PM

So I have the Vargas stage 2+ setup that made 681 whp coming soon. Of course wedge/Dimitri will tune it. We shall see the limits of DCT. I wonder if it can be tuned to have less torque, but still maintain the higher HP levels.

Redbmwm33 · 09-09-2015, 01:49 PM

Well I was pretty sure I was going to go with wedge and Dimitri. Then someone messaged me this on Facebook.

Is this stuff true @wedge?

This is crap. Wedge does not tune for 13:6:1 AFR's. The reason the log in that thread is so lean, is because the car doesn't have enough fuel. That is in no way an MHD OTS map nor would Ken approve of those values on a customers car. I would guarantee if they showed the HPFP we would see it taking a dive and never recovering.

You can not run more than 21+/- psi without port injection. I'm in the same boat and the highest psi I can run without going lean up top is 24psi on a cool day.

Redbmwm33 · 09-09-2015, 02:16 PM

I figured. Dimitri tuned my car and it has been the fastest most reliable n54 car in my hometown.

I just read that post on ***********. Lots of poo flinging over there.

He posted this race vs the C6 Z06 which had the most hilarious commentary from the female passenger. But +1 on seeing other videos as well.
