loosing grip, the only thing is, what you want to do with your car in the future... if around 400 rwhp is enough for you, you dont need tuneability of an emanage or unichip. The reflash makes sure that your AFR is perfect and you can just slowly upgrade little parts of your engine that people seem to say are weaks parts. oilpans etc etc. i mean if your not looking at 400-600 hp turbonetics outa the box just seems like a very good low cost alternative... compared to lets say... greddy. i just think theyve blown to many engines for my buiness.

 

seems a little high for me. at that psi i think it should be making more power. this leads me to beleive the turbonetics turbo is straining under those conidtions. have u seen figures of a greddy kit at 8psi?

john

 

8 PSI from two turbos is a lot different then 8 PSI from one... For reference the APS single Turbo kit is making 386 RWHP at 8.5 PSI...

Turbonetics Single Turbo: 8 PSI 11:1 AFR 386 RWHP on 91 gas

APS Single Turbo: 8.5 PSI 11.5:1 AFR 386 RWHP 94 gas

Greddy: 5.6 PSI 360-380 RWHP ???? AFR 91 gas


The Turbonetics turbo is by NO means straining. Actually it has a lot of room to make a LOT more power...

 

see this is where i have conflicting evidence about this kit. first off let me say i love the APS kit, however, the Unichip i HATE, yes i HATE it. i had the Unichip installed on my S2000 and Supra before i bought my Z. the Unichip was known for "losing its tune" and would actually fight regularly with my S2000's ECU and with my Supra, it required constant tuning and retuning to ensure i was putting my 400+whp to the ground. on one occasion i actually had to replace the ECU in the S2000 all together (i mean unchip). Today both Unichips are gone and both have AEM standalone units.

do you know if the Unichip has been revised to fix problems similar to the ones i have mentioned above? it would make sens to "think" they did since APS uses it on their system, but how do we all know that this wasn;t an easy way and inexpesive way for APS to sell the kit? Anyone out there with some insight on this or with an APS kit?

john

 

you replied FAST

anyhow can you explain how 8psi is different on a single from a twin turbo system? i am confused.

thanks,
john

btw: whats the high boost possible out the turbonetics single?

 

i have two other cars. a blown motor senario is possible, but thats why im looking for the THEE most reliaable and most freindly motor turbo kit.

Higher cfm output/efficiency..

I believe that maintaining a high efficiency the highest boost I'd run on the 60-1 would be 20 PSI. After that I'd think about going with a 62-1 or T66.

 

you make me soo h****Y when you talk like that

hahaha j/k

anyhow, what safety equipment do you have?

john

 

As of now just a helmet and some soon to be upgraded brakes... Eventually a harness bar and some 5 points will come into play but thats down the line...

 

what type of brakes are you going with?

has the greddy kit blown many motors since its release? what has been some of the majors probs. associated with buying a greddy kit and blwoing your motor? i mean, what about the greddy kit causes engine failure?

thanks,

john

 

For now just some upgraded rotors, pads, and lines... Very soon looking to get the 4 wheels Willwood kit.... As for the Greddy kit yes there have been a LOT of failures most of it is due to the kit being improperly tuned of course they also have probably the most amount of kits on the road so far.
