...i was told by a mate your cars were suffering surge at Brands Hatch....is this too much boost being used to extract max power???...I ran 2bar on a GT35 and no surge...but my T4 did but Steve Scott said my ports were too small...LOL...do you run ported shrouds to help surge?
..not a dig a genuine question if you can be mature for once..if my mate heard it everyone did.
ps yes i do have 1 mate ROFL

Ive been at all the other Time Attack rounds and have driven the Sierra quite a lot, and ive never noticed it suffering from surge, so would be suprised if it was at Brands?
Never really been a problem since it had the bigger exhaust housing ages ago IIRC.

The sierra surges, it did it when porkie took me out in it at coombe.
Only at about 4K though, not above it, and only on the highest boost setting, so its very easy to avoid by keeping the revs up or dropping the boost a touch.

Well TBH thats what I shouldve said.
If being driven hard id be shocked if the car ever goes anywhere near where it surges at all, which is as Chip said.
The car is at its fastest from about 6k+ to be honest, and I doubt it goes much under that when being driven in Time Attack mode etc.

...can anything be done about it?...i know the head would be ported enuff?

Well surge is just the turbo trying to flow more air than the engine can swallow, so you either make the turbo flow less or you make the engine swallow more, or you give the gas an escape route with a ported shroud.
Easiest way to fix it on porkies car without losing any of the performance (in fact you would gain some) would be to increase the capacity.
Yours didnt surge I suspect purely cause you never ran enough boost in the midrange to make it do so.

I could tell you how to avoid it without capping the boost but where would the fun be in that .

Oh you tease
You refering to cam timing?
More CC will move surge down the rev range typically.

I'm not expert but changing the standard exhaust manifold on the Sierra would be a great help in reducing or stopping the surge in my view and if the GT35 was staying on I would do just that. But I just don't like the Turbo really. With the 5 speed box I feel the car needs a punchier Turbo so I already have a new GT30 ready and waiting to be fitted. Car will make less power but should be alot quicker on track in my view.

It was because the track was FUCKING slippery... and there was a big fucking wall. So I had to keep the revs down a bit to stop me crashing.... below 4.5k revs the Turbo does surge its tits off.... but above 6k revs my ASS was surging it tits off

Porkie the exhaust manifold has very little to do with it.

A problem shared is a problem halved very true but every bit of knowledge surely has some commercial value

Excuse my lack of knowledge about surge
So how dangerous to the engine is it if left untreated so to speak...
