Well the problem with my current setup is that it is going to undergo some drastic changes before it's marketed. However a general discription of what I plan to test with next is...

It will use a single T-Series turbocharger but has not been built from T04 parts which greatly increases the strength and longevity. I have not detirmed which turbocharger I will use in the final product yet. It will use tuned headers and y-pipe. No damn logs. Sizes and descriptions are currently unavailable as I have not started any calculations on it. It uses a large front mount air to air intercooler. It is and will be designed to leave the car looking completely stock to the casual observer. You can't even hear the turbo until you are into it.

I'm way ahead of you on the video. I've got a couple passes of me coming by the big end of the track. About 2/3 track you can hear the turbo coming at you like an F16.

 

That was what I was expecting as far as setup is concerned...

I agree with TS in one thing for certein... People in this board tend to flame a lot on new upcoming things...

Look at what happened with DTE and the billet optispark... fair??? dont think so...

 

If it's going to undergo some drastic changes before production, I don't see why keeping it a secret is such a big deal. Not that I really care enough to find out the details. . .

I can vouch for INTMD8. He'll tell anyone all the details about his 634 rwhp set-up.

Thanks, James.

If you don't care enough to find out the details, why are you still on my nuts about it? I've given all the details about my system I am going to give. Get over it, get a life, have a beer, find a hobby that you CAN do since everything I've heard you say thus far is how you CAN'T do something. It's not a secret, I just haven't published what you want me to publish; an instruction manual. Even INTMD8 seems satisfied to wait until I get some more work done. My Lord son, why don't you attempt to engineer a fire extinguisher or is that going to start an arguement about Dry Chemical vs C02?

 

Sounds good I'm interested to see how you will fit tuned headers in with a single turbo. Any idea when you might have the setup ready for sale?

Why are you doing drastic changes from your current prototype? Did you run into some problems, or did you just have some different ideas?

 

Better efficiency more than anything. I see a great deal to be gained by putting on a better exhaust system and adding a larger A/R turbine to maintain good spool and give better topend. Plus everything on the kit is press bent aluminized steel. In addition to better exhaust design, switching to mandrel bent stuff will net some results. The induction side will be remade as is with mandrel bent aluminum tubing. I am also going to redo the end tanks on the intercooler using 1/8in AL instead of the thin sheet stuff it's currently made from.

Basicly the kit was put together to trying to meet a spouse made deadline. I have a friend at an exhaust shop and we hung out up there for over 12 hours bending pipe on a Sunday trying to get her functioning. I'm still fighting demons in the PCV system and the induction plumbing. I still need to build a better air filter system and do a few other tweaks. I am hoping to have it ready to sell in a few months barring any craziness.

 

TurboSpeed, I support you and your decision. Curious though, I know you mentioned that you were using a T72 originally. Can you elaborate a bit more on the specs of it? Also, what about the nature of the car? At what rpms did you see full boost, etc. If you posted that before, I may have missed it. Do you datalog when making a pass, or just old school style, reading plugs and what not? Isn't the weight of a T72 a good bit, for the manifold to support it? I have heard of brackets for other cars, to keep stress off the manifold, did you incorporate anything similar, or is it not necessary? Do you plan for the kit to be a true bolt-on, or will it be necessary to remove a/c, or abs or what not? Thanks for any info you can share!

 

Oh c'mon we all know a halon fire extinguishing system is the way to go LOL!!!!!!!


Turbospeed - In any case good to hear your getting stuff done, hopefully I get to see it this summer or at least see it run???....any objections????? Keep up the good work, you know we all need some more available quality kits.

 

well that is coming cause i did the filming and you guys will chit when you finally see it on video

 

Turbospeed, now THAT was an uncalled-for flame! I HAVE NEVER BEEN "ON YOUR NUTS" ABOUT REVEALING DETAILS ABOUT YOUR SET-UP. As I said, I really don't care and have never cared WHAT your set-up is. Your entire post insults me for something that I haven't done. You have mistaken me for someone else.

I was merely pointing out your flawed logic for choosing not to reveal the details because someone might steal them AND there will be drastic changes before production.

In light of this, your whole paragraph insulting me was a bit extreme I think!

Mike

 

Holy flame fest batman!
Whassup Bryan, Ken, Jason, Jeff, Ron, gears(never met you in person)... and anyone else that I might have missed.
Bryan you should have known that posting something as astronomical as your dyno on a stock lt1 would get you nothing but flames from every doubter in the world on this board. There's no lie about his #'s guys. I have seen it run, I've seen the set up, I have PICTURES of the set up. Will I post them? Not a chance. Speed doesn't want them posted, so until he does they're staying in my personal stash. How's that sound? Flame me if you like, but it will get you nowhere. There's enough people here locally that have seen how hard his car runs and would be more than willing to show their support in this thread. We've got track owners, auto shop managers, hardcore racers, ALL of them. Even a lowly PC tech like myself
It really doesn't amaze me how everyone can immediately throw BS flags on something like this. Hell, I can't imagine what SW went through when he went 9.80's in a Supra that had never had the head off the car? Is that so crazy? No, not really. Is it crazy that speed's car runs 10 second mph's on a stock headed/cammed/tuned/internals motor with boost? Sounds crazy, but it's not. We need to get videos from both end of the track so people can see how bad your car really does spin. He's got em roasting well passed the 1/8th mile mark. If I had to take a guess on what's going to break first, I'm going to call the rear end. Poor thing's getting hammered going that fast
Bryan let me know if you need a hand with anything in the future. Be it turning a wrench or holding something together while you duct tape it(), I'm there. Even though my car is a filthy pig after being out at your house this weekend.

Signing off!

 

Oh please, you guys ahve done nothing but bust his ***** about posting pictures and details about his setup. Maybe not you 100% specifically, but you're definitely part of the group that immediately called BS and are basically calling him a liar about his set up. Guilty by association my friend. I think it was perfectly cool of him to finally let someone have it. You all have grilled him since page 1.

 

I NEVER asked for specifications, pictures, details, etc.

I NEVER called him a liar (see my previous posts).

Guilt by association? I'm glad you're a PC Tech and not a Judge!

Mike

 

Not called him a liar, just doubted him in every way you possibly could. Real different. Besides, who are you to judge who I should be? I wish I were a judge, I think I'd try to pass laws to put dip****s in jail

 

Here is a simple solution... Walk away. You have said you don't believe a number of things about my system. If you don't believe I am telling the truth, that generally means you believe I am lying. Webster says a liar is a person who lies. Therefore, for you say I am not telling the truth means you are calling me a liar reguardless of how you worded it. Want proof? Read the last SEVERAL pages.

It doesn't matter that you think my logic is flawed. I don't, I am the one deciding on that course of action and it's not open to debate. I've given you the benefit of explaining my position. Your unprovoked badgering insults me. If you don't like what I have to say.. Fine. That's your right. If you want to flame me for it.. I guess that's every American's God given right. You want to get irritated for a dose of your own medician? Don't talk the talk unless you can walk the walk.

If I've mistaken you for someone else, perhaps you shouldn't let people post under your name. I'm on here to learn, to help, and to post the results of my system. I've learned, I've helped, and I've posted. When I do get to selling it as a product, then I will support the board as a advertiser. Contrary to the previous several pages, you've recently said you don't care about the system. I challange you to prove it by not putting up one more derogatory post in any of these threads. You've been offered multiple forms of proof, as well as valid explinations of my rational. If you don't accept it for what it is, then go somewhere else. I for one am tired of seeing now 8 pages of nothingness when I'm looking to do nothing more than post the results of my car...
