Sema 2010 products and pics

I don't know if anyone else has been following updates of stuff going on at Sema this week, but i found some pretty cool things.

The new Turbosmart wastegate.

Quote :

Because a wastegate is essentially the controlling element in a turbocharger system, quality, function, and performance are very much crucial in their design. Here at SEMA, Turbosmart is featuring their newly-released Comp-Gate 40 wastegate – a redesign of an older model that has reduced it’s overall size while increasing it’s ease of maintenance and performance.

With the Comp-Gate40, Turbosmart has completely changed the way wastegates are made, with a new screw-on, locking c-collar design that can be easily taken apart for a quick changing of the the spring. It also sports O-rings, affording tremendous heat capability that will take much higher EGT’s. This new design has been in the works for a year and half.

The new body profile offers superior flow with a compact size with a unique actuator housing design that allows for indexing of the cap in 12 positions. The new, smaller size is designed to fit in tight engine bays, as its over 25% smaller than Turbosmart’s previous offerings. This wastegate unit is suitable for high performance turbocharged vehicles with an external wastegate turbo system.

* Unique actuator housing design utilizing a screw-on locking ring
* Optimal flow path through body
* Small in physical size; only 99mm tall
* Excellent heat handling characteristics
* One-peice, coated, stainless steel valve
* Available in black or blue

The Dynocom dyno

Dynamometers aren’t something that you typically think of as needing to be aesthetically pleasing, but DYNOCOM has brought a full lineup of new dynos to the SEMA Show that not only look great with a polished stainless steel finish, but offer unmatched portability with offerings that can handle virtually anything you’d ever wish to throw at them. While many dynos focus on horsepower, DYNOCOM’s units are more directed at torque – each unit is rated by torque load rather than the standard horsepower variable.

The DC-POD is a revolutionary on-vehicle, portable dyno that is much different from the standard rolling chassis dyno. The POD bolts up directly to the wheel hub, eliminating the the frictional drag forces that are present with tire to roll contact area and downward restraining force variations due to differences in ratchet strap hookups in conventional rolling dynos. These use hydraulic brakes to apply load and are usually low in intertia.

The 5000 Series, as the name implies, is rated up to 5,000 ft-lbs of torque in a portable design that can be installed in your shop both above ground or in a pit, with portabilty very much a key element of its design. The 5000 Series can also be turned into an all-wheel-drive setup, with two units connected into one dynamometer. This unit also uses high quality FRENELSA eddy brakes, recognized as the strongest and longest-lasting retarders in the world.

Finally, the 7500 Series, which is rated at 7,500 ft-lbs and to speeds over 200 MPH, represents DYNOCOM’s top-of-the-line setup than you’ll have one heck of a time ever approaching the load capacity on. This one uses DYNOCOM’s own patented eddy brake design, and sports three fans running at 1,100 CFM for proper cooling. It features an industry standard 24-inch roll, which obviously increases it’s size and portability but generates a more accurate dyno reading.

One of the most interesting new features of the DYNOCOM units can be found in the software, where one can engage in real-time, head-to-head dynamometer 3D racing simulations over the internet in their vehicle against an opponent also using one of DYNOCOM’s units in the very same garage or clear across the country.

These sleek, strong, and portable units are also comparably affordable, priced at under $20,000.

The new Garrett Mid frame Billet turbos

Quote :

Garrett’s GTX turbochargers feature new compressor designs with improved aerodynamics and better efficiency than even the outstanding GT line, and now they’re available in two new mid-frame sizes – the GTX30R and GTX35R. Like their big brothers, the GTX42R and GTX45R, these new smaller turbos feature forged billet compressor wheels with a 11 full-blade design. They’re outline-interchangeable with Garrett GT-series turbos, and are designed for quiet operation in addition to remarkable gains in efficiency.

The new mid-frame designs are designed for displacements ranging from 1.8-4.5l and horsepower output from 280-450 per turbo, making them ideal for twin-turbo setups.

* 10%+ gain in flow compared to traditional GT compressor designs
* 10%+ higher pressure ratio
* Forged, fully machined wheels
* 11 full-blade design for improved efficiency
* Outline-interchangeable with GT series turbos

Innovate Digital MTX wideband

Quote :

The wideband tuning revolution’s start can really be traced back to the first truly affordable wideband air/fuel ratio monitor from Innovate Motorsports, the LM-1, and the LM-2 has become a mainstay of professionals and do-it-yourself tuners. Now, Innovate has introduced the new Digital MTX Series gauges, which put all the control electronics within the gauge housing itself for easier, more compact installation, and feature 100% digital technology for improved accuracy.

Innovate claims that their “direct digital” technology allows for instant, dead-on calibration, the highest accuracy of any wideband on the market, the fastest response time, and sensor feedback that lets you know if the O2 sensor is damaged rather than simply feeding you bad information.

The 52mm gauge housing is water-resistant, and features interchangeable faceplates and bezels, with both white and black faceplates and black and silver bezels included. The simplified wiring makes installation easy, and with a street price right around $200, there’s really no excuse for not running an accurate, easy to use wideband gauge in your street or race vehicle.

* O2 sensor is compatible with gasoline, diesel, methanol, E85, and LPG
* Ability to calibrate O2 sensor for increased accuracy
* Two 0-5v fully programmable linear analog outputs for use with engine management systems and external dataloggers
* Large digital readout combines numeric display with a programmable “digital sweep” indicator
* Datalog using Innovate’s LogWorks software on your PC
* Serial in and out ports allow easy connection to other Innovate Modular Tuning System devices
