but if all the runs were in the same gear then at least you have 1 more common point between dyno sheets

 

Correct
Dynoing should always be done in the closet to 1:1, unless you run into traction problems when you should select a higher gear.

 

I still don't see how an APS Extreme kit or JWT 850bb maxed out wouldn't be enough for someone....

But hey, whatever floats your boat right?

 

Well if your comparing the APS Extreme Kit to this PowerLab kit you have to take everything into consideration.

- Install Time
- Maintenance Required
- Component Accessibility
- Power Potential

It's less costly to install the single, it's easier to maintain, nearly everything is accessible and easy to get to incase anything were to go wrong. Or if you wanted to run a boost controller, change a wastegate spring, swap on a GT42R etc.

 

I'm interested in seeing how a GT42R would fit in there. There's got to be some sort of space limitation without modifying the mounting location, radiator, or some of the underlying structure like the frame or headlight brackets.

 

We got a GT4202R that we're going to be doing some testing on very soon . It is quite a bit larger then the 76S.

 

Keep up the good work!

Soon we will have all sorts of daily driven Supra killers.

 

This might have been covered, but I will ask anyways. You posted up pictures of a new block and internals. Are you rebuilding this motor before the stock sleeves give out?

 

That motor pictured is being assembled and going into Jorge's car very soon. We'll keep pushing the limits of the stock sleeves on this other motor until we have a failure.

 

Are yall just dynoing the car to test failure or are you actually driving it on the street? I wouldnt put the motor in until the other one pops, but thats just me.

 

Those were two different engines for two different cars. We're going to get the car race-prepped and we'll be building a nice NHRA Certified cage/ and other goodies so we can run the car on the drag strip If this motor pops we have a couple of other spares that we can get sleeved.

 

Flow wise it is smaller. The housings are a good bit larger physically. The 74 gts uses the same wheels as the 4202.

 

when can we expect to see a video of this thing on the street?

 

my car is about 2-3 weeks out maybe...and the show-widebody g35 is waiting for a 4carbon disk titlon clutch i believe...

 

Do you guys have any type of prices on this kit... I dont see anything on your site... Anywhere I can actually purchse this kit... Even just the base kit or the stage 1.5/2

 

PowerLab is in their first wave of manufacturing, and pricing won't be released to dealers until after the first of the year.

 

Hello,

All in good time sir. Again, this testing process is multi-purpose. Both PowerLab and ProEFI are gathering empirical data for their various products. Intense Motorsports was contracted by both companies to conduct said testing and is not directly affiliated with either company. That said, unlike other companies that produce one-off kits, these products are/will be sold to the public in the very near future. To that end, they/we would like to know the failure point of the stock sleeves. At 900whp/735 the sleeves are still alive.

As Jorge stated, there are plans to build and install an NHRA spec 9-second cage, parachute, etc in the G and put it on the track. This is not our first rodeo (I love saying that ****..) as we have built, tuned, and piloted several 9-second street cars. However, this is not our first priority, so be patient -- all things come out in the wash..

As far as your (I hope rhetorical) question regarding other twin turbo kits that have been on the market for a good minute and have yet to achieve what we quickly achieved, why WOULDN'T you want to see what the capabilities of a stock cranked, stock sleeved VQ35de is? What are the disadvantages of collecting this data? I've been in several 1000whp+ street cars and will tell you that once you've experienced this you won't ask that question again.

Good post Darren.. +1 on the power issue us men (and some women) have!

 

You guys should have made this thread saying 800RWHP. I dunno 800whp sounds cooler than 797whp.

But enough people posting here already so I don't think it matters. Haha.

 

Hey intense dude, can one of you guys aswer my PMs please...
