Good job, even with the little problems.

And I couldn't help but laugh at that Civic... lol

Over boost problem is fixed. Didn't need the new springs. Just had to open the top port on the wastegates.

It holds a steady 8psi right now. I know I was going for 10 but I think I'll stay right where I am. I didn't notice any clutch slippage with the lower boost so I think I'll keep it there until I get a boost controller and I'm ready to upgrade the clutch.

I told you all, in the beginning, that I knew enough to get myself in trouble. :icon14:

I will be running the open dumps for a little longer. I talked to Sam and even though he feels that my problems aligning the pipes aren't being caused by any problem with his product, he is sending me a new set to try.

Throughout this process Sam has displayed top notch customer service. :tup:

Thanks for putting up with me Sam! :tiphat:

That's wassup........I can't wait until I get my stuff hooked up. You have given me something to shoot for sir.....

lookin good. keep us posted

Jealous. Wish I had the balls to install it myself. However, I may have the stupidity to try it.

Dembflyr, did you ever get on a dyno?
Updating the finished builds and need your HP & TQ and final PSI numbers, thanks.

Hey when you go to dyno hit me up. I need to dyno mine again. I found I've had a boost leak for the past year and thats why I was only getting 5psi and slow spool. Fixed now and hitting 9-10psi.. I'm looking to lay down 500

Bro seriously...just come see me I'll take care of you.

:iagree:

:iagree:

:iagree:

I wonder what the average boosted Z is boosting on a daily basis. 7-9 psi maybe.

11-13psi:happydance:

I have not been able to get to a dyno yet. I will post on the finished build thread when I do. I hope to do it before winter.


I will. I owe you a drive. :D Maybe sometime this month. It would have to be during the week.

Show off! :D

Actually I will be at around 11psi once I get a proper clutch. :tup:

Ryan , so you know I also install short blocks too.... :stirthepot:

What are you trying to say....he might have some motor issues soon? :p

What we gonna run on my car? :driving:

Haha, my higher boost is needed for my single to keep up with you twins guys
That's down the road...if ever. I plan to enjoy the stock motor for awhile because with whatever power I'm making now (I'm guessing 530whp), it eats the tires up in the first 3 gears.
Never! I've had enough problems already:icon17:

Heading to a dyno tonight. :D

what psi? :P

Go to IndyRPM facebook for a live stream.

8psi

474hp

396tq

damn, nice numbers! So how does the stage2 @ this psi compare? I'm contemplating stg1 vs stg2!

Great numbers!

Thanks! :tup:

I really don't know. There are a lot of variables. I went with stage I because I didn't see myself building the motor in the future. That may not be the case. I have been looking at possibly doing a stroker motor in a few years. Not a big deal as you can swap the housing on the turbo at a later time. Bottom line is that if you ever see yourself building the motor, just go stage II from the begining.

And now for a few dyno vids:

I have no idea why when I try to embed the first video it goes sideways. It plays fine in you tube.

Yep, from what I have seen is the stage 1 & 2 TT kits really make the same power at similar PSI but the stage 2 gives you more room for growth.

Congrats on great numbers. That's a lot of people around for the pulls!

A local enthusiast forum held a dyno event. This was pretty early in the evening. I went second. later on there was a Supra that put down almost 1100 whp.

WOW, that's awesome, that supra had to be a beast. I used to live in Bloomington and never knew there was much of a Japanese car following in the Indy area, def good to know.

Monterey Blue is the fastest color!!

I think i need to place an order soon with GTM :( 8psi is good for me so its that power! Getting cold up here in the great lakes area so you best get to the track and get some times!

I should have my Fast Intentions 3" in a few weeks but since today was so nice and I already sold the Berk, I figured I would take a open exhaust spin around the block. :D Enjoy!

Yes please! That sounds fantastic!

That must be insanely loud! I ran an open downpipe for a few days...it was obnoxious!

Damn that thing sounds angry! :tup:

So, tell me, how well do you get along with your neighbours? lol

Ha ha. I only drove it for a few minutes. I'm sure they wouldn't like me much if I drove it to work at 4am. It's still technically away for the winter. The next time it sees the public roads it'll have a brand new Fast Intentions 3" TDX.

:tup: Looking forward to the update in the spring!

I wish you would have actually accelerated in that video, sounded great but pretty boring

I did say that it was a "spin" around the block not a blast. Sorry it bored you. I have my reasons for driving the way I did. In spring I may take a more aggressive video before installing the exhaust.

so what psi are you running and how long has it been reliable?
