Boosted Performance single turbo build

Wish the video picked up the turbo more, maybe at a different angle? Anyone with more go pro experience? People tell me they can really hear it behind the car, I can hear it in the cabin too but nothing came through.

For my Zdayz 2011 video, I mounted my gopro on the lower left inlet of the front bumper. It sounded great in my opinion.

Sasha, will you be able to provide an option to have a high flow cat welded into your downpipe with this kit? (100 cell)

Boosted,

I read in my Rx8 days some of the guys used the Boost-A-Pump to keep fuel temperatures under control. Do you think with such a big pump that this would be necessary? Below is a copy-pasta of the Boost-A-Pump info and link:

Boost-A-Pump

Quote:

A time tested and proven Kenne Bell innovation, the BOOST-A-PUMP™, powers some of the world’s most powerful production street and competition vehicles. The 800HP Shelby Super Snake, one of the World’s Fastest Production Sport Cars, the 242+mph 806HP Koenigsegg CCR, the dual turbo 1100HP Lingenfelter 427" Corvette 900HP Mr. Norm Dodge and 650-825HP RPO Camaros and, of course, all the legendary Kenne Bell kits can use the BOOST-A-PUMP™ to reliably produce those big HP numbers - on pump gas! It activates only at full throttle or boost, so it doesn’t “bloat” or “overload” the fuel system at idle or cruise where full time pumps and extra fuel are not required. So, the fuel isn’t heated (gasoline begins to boil at 87°). No “cool can” is necessary. And it’s much easier to install (cut one wire) and more reliable than fuel pumps. And since the BAP is also a voltage regulator (exclusive kb) it helps prevent engine damage from low voltage/ reduced pump flow during electrical overload or failure. It will attempt to stabilize the pump voltage and maintain sufficient fuel flow.

Wasn't sure if you saw this. I'm just curious if you think this is a benefit of not?

BTW...I never considered boosting via turbo until I saw this thread. So conflicted lmao! Great job!

Yup, UpRev tuner, not standard.

I need to buy everything except for the Uprev. I already have the standard version, it would probably be cheaper for me to buy the upgrade to tuner from Uprev.

Yes it would be cheaper. Things like EMS can be taken out of the kit to bring the price down.

Hopefully soon..

The kit comes with a 340lph fuel pump (not a 255lph like the other kits) so there is a lot of fuel even for built engines. One could run the fuel pump off of a relay with heavier gauge wires, triggered by the OEM fuel pump power supply. This would reduce the voltage drop across the smaller OEM wires, and improve fuel pump output. I would not do this unless you are going with the large 67mm billet turbo on a built block.

My curiosity was more to do with fuel temperature.

Sorry I missed this one. It is possible but it would have to be a compact catalytic converter.
