Never seen their kit, do you have any links to the components or a build they have done?

Just a pm from the owner, saying it’ll be a top mount kit, using Garrett gtx3584rs turbo, it’ll include a cjm stage 2 fuel return kit. Basically able to blow up stock block price point is looking like 10gs. And that they are just in the process of finishing jigs for a production run

He actually made “can blow up your engine” a selling point? Hmmm. In that case the Stillen SC kit should be selling like hot cakes. The truth is any forced induction kit can easily blow up your engine. Not sure why you’d want to mention this as a feature of your kit. Weird!

No Im just saying that he said it comes with a return kit that can give u enough fuel to blow it up.

Apparently there is a couple people (probably friends of the owner) running their kit, and have good results.

“Enough fuel to blow it up”? Blowing up usually comes from. not enough fuel. Anyway, I know what you mean. It just sounds like his choice of words are rubbing me the wrong way. No biggie. Either way, we get more choices. Glad to see more options. If nothing else maybe it’ll keep the current guys/kits on their toes. Competition is good.

Be like the honda ricer idiots. Put the biggest turbo on. Run it until it blows up. Then steal another honda. Remove turbo kit from first car and put it on the stolen honda. and repeat.

More options is always good, as long as the quality and service comes with it.

Looks interesting, the last top mount "kit" put down some good numbers but there were other issues around that "kit."
I would wait until some numbers are released, my advice for the owner (or someone at the shop) is make an account here and post up a detailed thread for everyone to see. For turbos there are a few options but more is better and he might get some more customers by posting here.

Buddy..............please quit saying "Blow it up." When you say that (and I'm not picking on you.) it becomes apparent that you have little to no knowledge of boost or even tuning. Stick to intakes and exhaust for a bit longer and brush up on what boost actually entails before you move up. Failing to do so generally costs more than a turbo kit itself.

When anyone says top mounted turbo's. I think of stuff like this. Have a couple of ricers around here with set-ups close to this. Cut the hood so that the turbo sticks out.

Default Anyone Running royalty performance turbo kit?

By low it up I mean push it hard enough to start breaking parts. While I’m no guru with boost, I’m have a fairly good knowledge of what I’m getting into (ideally a bp kit with a cjm fuel return). And have done countless days worth of reading and talking to people as well as worked on many boosted engines for race and street applications (never a vq yet though lol)


Lol rusty man I totally agree, especially with heat soak being the issue it is on this chassis, I don’t see it making the same numbers/curve as other kits. But according to the builder and a couple guys already running it they’ve taken some steps to help. Don’t know wat said steps are (guessing a blanket for the turbo and the gold heat wrap on the intake tubing). It’ll be interesting to see when it goes into production

Consider this; The VQ was not engineered from the factory to be a boosted powerplant. It is rated from the factory at roughly 350 crank hp. To go from NA to FA on the VQ using any method would yield on the very low end 30% more power than what the engineers who designed the powerplant considered safe for longevity and bean counting purposes. That said , I can put together a kit on ebay and spend less than the cost of a single Precision or Comp turbo and promptly take it down the street and obliterate even a built block. Take note that you've never read anywhere Tony from F.I. , Sasha from B.P. the people over at AAM or even Stillen touting their kits make enough power to break parts. Nobody wants that under any condition. The only thing required for that is an idiot with some tools or a really great (at the time) idea. Again, not beating on you because I've been that guy and honestly I don't wish that crushing feeling that you feel when your motor goes poof on anyone although it makes for a great educational point. My humble advice to you would be to go through the boost for dummies thread and then the boosted builds thread. Decide how much power you want, what you want to do with your car and what your budget looks like. After my poof experience I get a new motor installed and put it back together correctly with no problems. Then I came to the conclusion that I wanted a little more. I did some more reading and decided to clone a build by Diabel. Had I done this from the beginning it would've saved me roughly 7k. I tell you this because I burned myself and to let you know that the stove is still hot. I'm not the only one here who's made mistakes and if you look, you can read about alot of them. That reading will save you from spending money doing what we already did.

I think there is a huge misrepresentation of what I wrote lol. I’m saying that the kit can make enough power to break/bend parts (rods, bearings,seals etc) because of hp and torque numbers not because of lack of fueling which seems to be the first issue the vq runs into when getting up over 500whp. It isn’t advertised as that by the company/owner as being able to blow your car up it’s so powerful, Re reading my post I can see how it came across that way, I should edit it!

My bad don’t think less of this kit (hasn’t been openly tested to know good or bad) because of my poor wording!

And I know about burning yourself worst is when it’s just because u can, my first one was oh have boost let’s see how far it’ll go. Luckily it was a Honda lol had a rod come say hi . Dime a dozen was up and running at a reasonable number for 400$ lol.
