The block machining is too high.The assembly is a little too high.The head work is too much, unless that includes the price the price of the valves and/or the head needed extra work. Head work costs can vary.The MSD costs too much and it is of no use. They don't do crap and 99% of...
You can make craploads of power on an unported head with some springs/retainers and some 1mm over valves thrown in. I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on head porting until you have the best of everything else and can't find any power elsewhere. A lot of the normal turbos will maxout airflow...
Huge turbos are no problem for daily drivers. You don't go into boost at the drop of hat, so you get good gas mileage and if you know how to downshift lag isn't an issue. They are also insane in the upper gears on the freeway in even an AWD.
The reason why you can run a leaner A/F ratio on high octane gas is because it has better knock resistance and has a slower controlled burn. Often you have to lean out race gas to even get back to your normal A/F though. That is because race gases often have a different specific density than...
Going to big wheels like 18s can hurt HP output at the wheels. I have seen it happen on cars before.If he was using SAE correction, it should take most of the humidity and temperature differences into account and give very close numbers from one weather condition to another.High...
I have a 2.4l 7-bolt making 660whp and ran 10.4 (breaking 4th gear during that run) in my heavy 2G. My old 2.0l 7-bolt was running around 490whp until the stupid water cooled oil filter housing backed off and I lost all the oil causing the motor to put a rod through the block. I don't have a...
I am not pissed. Just wanted to maybe help some people out who may have been considering buying a turbo like this, thinking they are the best thing since sliced bread. Some of us have been around for a little while and seen some of the shit that has come out of previous renditions of the...
Maybe that should be their marketing slogan? "All the power of an EVO III 16G, but with the lag of a T3/T4"You are doing a disservice to your customers by selling them this crap. I wouldn't offer this crap to my customers. It is your job as a vendor to try to sell your customers a...
H3? V-trim? Are these turbos straight out of the 1960s? Why would anyone sell or buy turbos with these archaic compressor wheels in them? With shops like FP and AMS testing and experimenting with all the newer GT compressor wheels and the things that the GT exhaust wheels are capable of, it...
Maybe the spark plugs got fouled out if you didn't lean out the global settings in DSMLink as soon as you put the bigger injectors in. You don't need a FPR, I have friends running 880s and making over 600whp with stock fuel systems besides inejctors and a fuel pump.
