Great thread

 

500hp, 600tq. Nuff said

 

64840 hptq

 

you are all noobs I got 2.3^17 whp and wtq with my turbonetics stage 7 kit. y'all need to learn how to tune your sht...

 

As you may have noticed, you're not going to get much help with a question like this. Unfortunately, there's not a thread like this for each kit, but there have been a few threads on HP/TQ #'s with various setups. Search, read, get frustrated, then repeat. It's a vicious cycle...

 

i figured i would use the "EASY" button...

 

at least you are honest.. i can respect that

 

Highest that I have seen was Jetpilots TN Z. Around 460whp on a "low" reading Dyno, Id say he would be 480whp easy on a DJ, with over 500ft/lbs. Of course there is more than just peak numbers, the curve sucked huge donkey d!ck, with power peaking at 5800rpm's and TQ falling on its face up top. Horrible powerband, but in all fairness to TN, the kit wasnt designed with big power in mind, it is only IMO good for stock block set-ups....

 

thats more like it...

thanks

 

actually, I think Jet said the pwoer peaks at 5400 rpms.

I took a ride in it last night; his car pulls like a M.F'n freight train!!!!

 

I think I remember watching one of ur vids with ur TN setup. You ran low 12s I think!? So would you guys say that a built motor and TN dont really go together? In other words would it be a waste to build ur engine if you plan on going with TN?

 

My best time was 11.98 @ 114, backed by two 11.99 @ 115/116mph runs. Like I said above the built motor and TN stage 1 being maxed doesnt provide a good powerband. Area under the peak and in this case the area above peak numbers makes a difference. Obviously Im not saying a car like Jet's will be slow, but if he were to race a TT Z with the same WHP and a much better powerband the difference would be evident...

 

Just the opposite. It's a waste to go with Turbonetics if you plan to build the motor.

What if you are only looking for 400-450whp and you dont wanna be worried about blowing up? Lets face it TN is almost couple grand cheaper than TT and the installation is easier (cheaper) and you can get away without exhaust system upgrade. What do you guys think?

PS: Alberto, I cant wait to see ur new 1/4 times. How long did you have the TN on for? and also would you honestly recommend it to someone that uses the Z as a DD and is only looking for decent power on street.

 

I only recommend ANY type of FI to people who have $10K ready to rebuild, any kit even with a great tune can result in a failed motor. Trust me when I tell you, you dont want to spend $$$ on a built motor and run a TN kit, you will want more I guarantee it. Daily driver or not, supporting mods or not it can happen. My Z wasnt a DD @ the time of my TN kit, only had it for 3000 miles and the motor gave up, if your not ready to face this fact dont step into the FI world. Good luck deciding...

 

+1

 

I blew my motor up with 410whp with the Turbonetics. The rods in the motor suck. If your looking to make 400-450whp you will have to upgrade your exhaust system. The OE exhaust is worthless for FI. With the OE exhaust your EGT/CHT temps will be getting hotter than needed.

Doesn't that make ALL ST kit kind of useless?
