^^^ ... "when WE took it out in GA at nopi" ?? ... So you drove his car around? I highly doubt it. You guys did nothing to help him out. If anything he helped your MAG by allowing you guys to show pics of it.

 

this thread deserves my first post.....

I've been lurking around through your engine mods here and there, and you Z owner's have overpassed my expectations. all i can say is wow guys, good job to the guys at the shop.

I know some hate FWD cars, but I'm just looking for some HP increase after the winter season, and I'm thinking incorporating some of the mods available for the Z. this seems like the right place.

nice job once again...

 

Thanks for the kind words, and WELCOME to the boards!

Mia, the compressor housing on the TD06 upgrade is smaller than the TN 60-1 setup used on the TN single kits. So it wouldnt surprise me if the flow limits of our setup are about 1000 crank hp, or about 800-820whp. I believe there are other restrictions, outside of the turbocharger, that might be choking things up beyond the 750whp level. We're doing some more R&D and testing a couple theories out on this.

 

That would most likely be the case. The last time I saw a TD0X turbine housing was years ago. Its a shame Precision turbo no longer makes the T3 turbine housing with the TD05/06 flange. It would be perfect for this application. Barring someone else making it that I'm not aware of in the proper configuration for inlet and outlet bolt patterns an adaptor would be perfect. If you could mate up a T3 (Stage 3 or 5) turbine section to the Greddy manifolds and use a 62-1 compressor wheel or something equal to it (GT35, GT-K turbo) you'd be capable of much more. Hell I know a T66 wheel will fit into a 62-1 housing with the right machining. Can you imagine that. A T66 compressor wheel can flow 72 lb/min. Imagine 1400+ CHP worth of air at 2X PSI.

 

I glad we have the resources that we have around here. But I'll tell you, when MIA and Sharif start talking, I swear they are communicating in a language other than English.

With guys like the two of you around, the future of the boosted VQ is in good hands!

 

Nah Sharif is the master mind. I couldn't tune these cars like this. Stuff like that takes time to learn and I honestly believe you have to have a natural gift or pre-disposition to picking up that kind of stuff. Sharif is just naturally gifted at it. And lets face it you can't beat the customer service he provides. I'd say we're all in good hands as long as he's around.

 

Amen to that. I haven't given him a dime (yet) and he has been nothing but fantastic to work with so far. I can't wait to get my car to him.

MIA, you've been a big help for many people, too. Some of the info you have posted has helped alot of people, including me.

Aww, after school special happy moment .

 

Well, I definately need Mia around to help me sort through these compressor and hot side options...my mind starts spinning with the various options out there.

 

[The Longest Yard]Group hug in the shower tonight!!![/The Longest Yard]

 

I've got three options for you

GTM Stroker (biggest displacement available)
Twin T66/Stage V turbos (Substitute with GT-K turbos after SEMA)
Straight through 3.5" dual exhausts with open dumps from a pair of Newgen (50mm) wastegates


1400+ CHP at 2X PSI. Lag would remain to be seen but with over 4L of displacement I don't think it can be too bad. For the twin guys that is.

For me, a nice GT-K single turbo (a very large one of course) and 700 is more then enough to make me smile

 

MIA, I agree with your assessment of Sharif, but you provide a greal deal of information and support in your own regard.

I remember how accessible you were to Bert during his Turbonetics install. Not many people make themselves so available.

So, if we're hugging, you deserve one as well...

Sorry for the tangent...

B, I can't wait to see your car. I'm well documented in my admiration for the time and money you have put into your Z. I'm mostly glad that you'll be able to enjoy it (instead of having it sit in a shop for one reason or another).

Don't wear yourself out "working" in Thailand. You have a lot of rides to give when you get back to the states. '

 

Nice Brent. Had to come over here so I could see a graph, very linear power band, just what I like to see. Are you still running stock brakes?

 

Thanks for that! And trust me in Phuket he has plenty of "rides" to give too

 

Since he's "busy" in Phuket, I'll answer. (just letting you know I'm jealous, B).

No, he has an AP Racing BBK.

 

holy freakin cow! 666? yeah.....you're going to hell

 

Working in Phuket? Yeah right! Maybe working his hip flex muscles. Anyways sick numbers.

 

SO.......where are the videos

 

I believe that exercise is called Horizontal thrusts aka Pelvic Thrusts..

 

Bananas.....those are big numbers! I hear the Elise is getting an extra 247 hp too, right?

 

That's my plan with in the next few months. I need to upgrade my head studs and head gasket. I am hoping to get the car up to Sharif in December/Jan.
