The Basics: Boost
15 Nov 2012
The Basics: Boost Introduction: Here at Treadstone one of our main goals is to educate our customers to provide them with the knowledge to safely boost any vehicle they desire. This is why we have decided to introduce “the basics,” which will be a series of blogs that will present information in a simple to understand format with liberal use of lamens terms. Today we will cover the topic of Boost as always we will cover some definitions first. Boost is defined by the pressure in the intake manifold above ambient air pressure aka (the actual pressure above ambient). i.e. A naturally aspirated engine at sea level actually sees 14.7 pound of air pressure in sharp contrast, a turbo charged car running 10 psi actually sees an Absolute Air Pressure of 24.7 psi (14.7psi + 10psi) at the same sea level. Moreover the ambient air pressure is dependent on weather and your location’s elevation, so it changes from hour to hour and from vertical distance travel. As a result, you should always use absolute pressure, to measure boost pressure. Another example, at sea level, on a day with an ambient air pressure of about 14.7psi, boost is anything above 14.7psi. A value of 14.7 psi would represent a boost pressure of about 1 bar, or 200 kPs. However, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, at an elevation of 3750 feet, the same 200 kPa is on top of a typical ambient air pressure of 90 kPa, for a boost of 16 psi. If a low pressure front had passed through, the same kPa might be even more 'boost'. But the pressure inside the engine is that same in all cases. As a result, absolute pressure in kPa is a better measure of how much the engine is working than 'boost' values.

Treadstone Intercooler helps STI owner pick up an additional 27 HP!
24 Oct 2012
One of the drivers that we sponsor, Colorado Racing Network forum member Ben Hochman, also known as 0to115in11, recently upgraded from a Hyperflow Intercooler to a brand-new Treadstone Intercooler, taking his Subaru Impreza WRX STi from 470 AWHP to 497 AWHP, an improvement of 27 AWHP. He sent us this YouTube video showing off his dyno run. Hochman was recently featured in the September issue of DSPORT magazine about their second-place finish at the IDRC (Import Drag Racing Circuit), a racing series sponsored by DSPORT that brings drag racers from around the country to compete against each other to win cash prizes. Additionally, Ben is going to be featured in DSPORT's upcoming DVD with a follow-up interview since last year's event. The DVD will also feature coverage from the 2012 IDRC race.

TRE Trick Exhaust Manifold: From Concept to Reality
05 Oct 2012
Treadstone takes advantage of the latest state-of-the-part technology when it comes to designing our high-performance products. Nearly all of our manifolds, turbochargers, and other components are fabricated from concept to reality using 3D computer-assisted design (CAD) programs such as SolidWorks, a CAD program specifically for designing mechanical products. This is Treadstone's new Trick Exhaust Manifold for the Chevy Tahoe, from computerized concept to working model. Trick Exhaust Manifold for Chevy Tahoe First, the wireframe of the manifold is drawn out in SolidWorks. We pay special attention to pipe design, diameter, and shape to maximize airflow and minimize turbulence. We also make sure that where the pipe connects to another pipe, such as the header primary to the collector, to ensure a smooth transition. All these efforts work to maximize volumetric efficiency, improving power, torque, and powerband. Faster exhaust velocities also help to improve turbo spool to help minimize turbo lag. Trick Exhaust Manifold 3D Wireframe The wireframe is rendered as a model to double-check for inner pipe smoothness, accuracy, and quality. Trick Exhaust Manifold 3D Model Render A full-size model of the manifold is then created using a 3D-printing machine. Although it will not be used in application, the 3D-printed model allows us to double-check fitment as well as compare other specs in real life to ensure a top-performing product. If we find that we need to make a change to the model, we can do so at a lower cost than fabricating the entire model in CNC, then making a change. 3D printing allows us to have faster, better, and more accurate product development.

Cobalt SS Stage 4 Turbo Kit Installation
21 Sep 2012
This turbo upgrade kit for the Chevy Cobalt SS will help you attain power levels of up to 600 HP. This kit doesn't include any bolt-on parts that may be needed to run a complete stage 4 kit, mainly due to the fact that many people already have bolt-on modifications, which reduces redundancy and makes pricing more reasonable.   Turbo Manifold This manifold is cast using the latest in turbocharger-manifold technology with the latest start of the art CAD based techniques. They benefit from an exclusive investment casting method utilizing bulletproof 304/347 stainless steel. The high thermal intertia and excellent heat retention of cast stainless steel provides the turbocharger with as much  thermal energy as possible. This effect raises the overall efficiency of the system and produces results superior to tubular/welded manifolds. Furthermore, stainless steel is virtually impenetrable to rust and other forms of corrosion and will stay looking beautiful for years to come. No more rusting turbo manifolds! Downpipe and Dump Tube  The downpipe is hand crafted in the USA from 304 stainless steel and tig welded to perfection. Included in each pipe is a flex section to prevent cracking from the constant vibration and heat cycling a turbo system goes through. We decided to recirculate the dump tube quite a ways down the downpipe, this aids in wastegate efficiency and reduces unwanted noise. This can be easily converted to open dump with slight modification to the pipe. Turbocharger selection We choose to start of with the base T3/T4E 50 trim, or precision 55mm compressor wheel and 57mm turbine wheel, better know as the 5557E. A similar size turbo to a Garrett GT3076R. This is one of the most efficient compressor wheels to date, the ratio of inducer to exducer measurements are a perfect combination for use on 2.0 to 2.5l motors making upwards of 30psi. We feel the 58mm wheel falls off in higher PSI application, and this has been scene with many SRT4 and Subaru testing in the past. The next turbo size up, we would only recommend for guys wanting to break the 500whp mark, and go with a 6262SP. Skipping over the 5857SP is not a very big jump in turbo size, and you're better off with a 6262. This is similar to a GT3582R from Garrett. This turbo has the potential to make up to 600whp+ on this platform and is only for the big power fully built guys. Wastegate and Blow off Valve. Since we are getting rid of the stock turbo, and stock bypass valve, you have the option of running a Turbosmart blow off valve or none at all. We do not reccomend running without a BOV, but this is sometimes done on all out time attack cars to keep boost in the pipes for quicker throttle response between shifts. Our pipe only includes provisions for a Turbosmart, if you want to run any other BOV, you will have to cut and weld the pipe, as well as re-powder coat it. We can custom weld any BOV flange on for an upcharge of $70. In the future, we will probably make more pipes with more BOV options, but we currently have 50 sets in staock all with the Turbosmart flange. Wastegate The wastegate is in an ideal optimized location to route exhaust gasses away from the turbine wheel when needed. The need for a larger wastegate in this set up is not needed because the the placement of our wastegate. With this optimized location, boost creep and boost spikes will never happen! What is included in the kit -Treadstone Cast Stainless Tubular Manifold -Treadstone 304 Stainless downpipe and Dump Tube -Turbosmart 38mm Wastegate -Includes all Hardware fittings and Gaskets -Silicone Hoses, T-bolts and V band Clamps -DEI Downpipe Heat Wrap -Vacuume lines, & Check Valves Also Available by Demand! The complete Garrett turbocharger line up. Yes that is right, we are able to adapt any of the Garrett GT and GTX turbos to our kit utilizing the T31 V band downpipe connection.
