WOW, can I have 1 for X-Mas?

 

+1

 

how is the driveability of this setup, going to a lower CR, then not getting boost until the high rpms, id think it would make for a less than fun car to drive on a regular basis. congrats on sick numbers BTW.

 

gt35r or gt37r for you then

 

On this Prototype kit power lab supplied a custom driver side manifold that comes with a v-band end so it allows for more clearance for the 3.5'' downpipe!

 

Wow on the dyno numbers, have you guys dyno'd on smaller wheels yet? I lose almost 100wtq going from 19s to 22s on a dynojet.

 

Thanks, no we have not dyno'd on smaller wheels, we'd like to be able to say we did it on the 22's

Also the reason the turbo is laggy is because we found a huge exhaust leak this morning nearly expelling the entire left bank of exhaust energy. We're fixing it as we speak and should be back on the dyno tomorrow to see what this 76mm turbo will do!

 

I believe that this turbo kit is Chuck Norris approved!

 

Damm I want one of those!!!!!!

 

gracias

 

one of the reasons i have been following this kit for a long time now its because it fits the 06's without modifications!!!! all this extra stuff are all pluses in case i decide to build within a couple of years or so. just hoping that the base tuner kit doesnt brake the 5500$++ bank.

 

man I just don't know how fun this thing would be on the street with that much lag.

 

i am not sure either...lol

this kit on the vq should put way less lag than that supra ...

 

Oh sweet lord, can't wait to see those numbers!!!

 

As you know, every kit has its up and downs. I believe even from a roll AND with stock gearing/redline, the powerband will be too short to even be good from highway speeds. edit-of course a raised redline would alleviate the "small" powerband issue. You'll start really high inthe rpm range, hit it, boom your shifting. This kit would be better suited for the guys that want big dyno numbers or for hardcore drag guys, not a big market, but there are def people that want that. I prefer power everywhere, but that is just me. No knock on this kit, the power these guys have shown the community in the past few weeks with singles is BIG. The more options the better. Id love to drive or better yet drag race a setup like this to see what it can do. Id imagine its harder to drive than the JWT 850's in the fact that you REALLY have to shift fast to keep the car in powerband and the turbo somewhat spooled during shifts. I look forward to the new #'s and dyno plots.

 

^^ again...it wont be like a TT setup ovbiously, but i think you'd still be surprised at the spool up for such this size turbo and once VTC is fully in use, and also that supras have run this for years on the street no problem... and the VQ has better heads and more displacement....

Also keep in mind that this numbers were achieved despite the fact they had an exhaust leak, that was basically expelling half the exhaust energy...
how would you expect a 1.75L 3 cylender motor to spool a 76S ?
I think once they fix the leak we should see much better results re: lag related

 

Is this the kit YOU will be running Jorge? Coming to ZdayZ?

The thing with Supras is sure they lag, but they are GEARED MUCH better than us, they stay in powerband much longer once they get there, they can hit in 3rd gear what stock Z"s do at redline in 4th! Having driven an 850 TT with 700whp and STOCK gearing, it needed more powerband bad, you cant deny that this would be worse. There are solutions to this, Im just pointing this out for people that dont know....

 

yeah...illb e testing this with the sleeves, intensefab does quite an amazing job fabbing...... ill try to make it to zdayz. it'll be cool to put a face to a lot of the e-friends i have here... ma bb is due about a month after so will see...hopefully no issues

i agree with your other point too, but gear upgrades like FD are a decently "common" mod that a few people have done already

Edit. like what redman33 suggested, but still it will be ncie to see what the finals numbers are once its all done

 

Wouldn't getting a 3.3 FD eleviate this problem or at least somewhat.

 

Yeah it will both help and hurt you. Hurt you to the fact that you have less TQ multiplication, so low-mid range would suffer more, I feel slightly more lag in my Greddy kit in some spots I couldnt imagine with this. BUT-once in powerband you will hold your gears MUCH longer, especially with an increased redline. THis si aalso why I want to see what rpm's the power I speaking at and how much power is dropping off up top. the 3.3FD was a sacrifice I was willing to make and havent regretted. Id like a non biased driving review from a knowledgable member-no offense OP. Anybody in MD slated to get one?
