JBR under car piping video.

SnailD had an S4 spooling by 3,600 in CO alititude, IIRC.

Can't over science what's already factual. Look at their specific specs.
BNR S4.

Looks steeper than mine a bit. Probably Rob don't want to granade my stock block lol.

The BNR is right with it. 20psi @3407rpms according to the log.

It looks steeper b/c of the scale.
I got surprised with the spooling time. Very very close with the S3, but with a robust top end. I cant wait to finish tuning this thing. Winter its a bish.

Stock block. Finkle takes care of the tuning. Goals are 380whp. I might do a pop and drop later this year.

Gotcha, was hoping you had a built block so we could compare, especially for the price of the S4.
Now that's more like it. The old graph showed 20psi by like 4,000. This seems much more reasonable and what I expected based on the specs of the S4 in comparison to a regular GT3076. What's your altitude in NC, BTW? Bang-for-the-buck wise, that's hard to beat. I'm sure @Mikey 's HTA3076 has waaaaaayy more top-end, though. He pulls trains on my S3 and is easily at 500+whp.
Fortunately, I've had much better luck with my Synapse. Love it and holds like a champ
Not apples to apples, but here's my S3 vs. a GT2876r (pretty sure we both would've spooled earlier if we went WOT sooner). I don't think the JBR piping is negatively impacting my spool at all. My ramp-up is nearly that of a K04:

That hose should hold... I would put a coil like they do with Diesel boost tube to keep that expansion in check.

What you were noticing was the phenomena between 3rd and 4th gear spool times.
Oh, the other graph was from 3rd? Yep, that'll definitely make it take longer, haha.

I'm kind of lost as to why you guys are comparing logs and spool at all, let alone on different setups.
Isn't the real issue and largest concern of this development, potential catastrophic failure of the silicone piping? I don't recall reduced spool even being an advertised benefit of this kit, could be wrong there. However, a couple hundred RPM of spool makes no difference either way if the risk of the piping failing altogether is remotely possible. Pop a coupler on the side of the road or at the track, its fairly easy to fix. Blow a hole in the entire cold or hot side silicone piping, and you need a tow.
I think the real question here is, what was the point of failure when tested? What kind of longevity tests have been done and under what conditions? If it has actually been proven that this repeated flexing does not reduce the lifespan or add stress to the silicone, then by all means worry about a couple hundred rpm worth of spool.
I may have missed something in all of this.

I'm not concerned at all with spool/boost threshold. Based on dozens of logs, the data doesn't bear that out for me, so it's a non-issue. I'm moderately concerned about failure, specifically it happening at an inopportune time, like when I'm driving 5 hours down to San Antonio with my wife and daughter. It makes me feel better to know folks are running a good deal more than my 25 psi with no issues. And ultimately, I know JBR will take care of me. I don't want to be stranded, though.
Flyin' Miata has silicone piping like JBR:https://www.flyinmiata.com/na6-new-style-fm-intercooler-upgrade.html. They have also been around forever, and have a solid reputation. I did not see any posts about failures via Google, either. I did see they say to not stay in max boost for more than 30 seconds, But they also do not post any specific PSI limitations.
I think if running 30+ PSI, I probably myself would not run em, but that's me.

Something interesting, comparing the piping when spooled and not, looks like it shifts almost 2 inches, that's allot of room to account for rubbing.
