Fast Intentions "Twin Turbo Kit" is here

djtodd · 05-14-2014, 02:05 PM

Hey guys (and girls?

)

Thought I would pop in here with a bit of an update.

I put the kit through a bit of a torture test this weekend at Road Atlanta with Global Time Attack.

Two days of absolutely thrashing the **** out of it. Two sessions were in 90+ degree heat with high humidity.

...And it didn't miss a beat. Ran like a top. I have to admit, beforehand I was concerned with what oil and water temps I would see, but it never broke a sweat. Oil never got over 220ish, and water was never above the middle of the range. As background, I have the Mishi rad and FI 34 row oil cooler.

Anyway long story short: I had a blast. The car absolutely hauled ***, and behaved perfectly. I spent most of the time getting accustomed to all the additional power, trying to find the limits, and building confidence. I definitely need more aero now. Coming down the back stretch at 170ish, the rear is seriously squirrely under braking. I ran with the same RE11's that I've had on the car for some time. They have 20+ heat cycles, so they are definitely past it, but I was still pleasantly pleased with overall traction and balance. Still relatively neutral. Can't say enough good things about the OS giken lsd, although the fluid was totally cooked when I changed it yesterday.

One session was in the wet and that was...interesting? Terrifying? Given you can make it step out rather easily in the dry, it was a handful in the wet. Turn 12 was definitely a "pucker" moment for sure.

I put together a quick clip for you're viewing/listening pleasure. Still waiting on my buddy's to get my some outside-the-car video. We took 2 photo/video guys with us, so should have some good footage.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Your car is stupid fast. I love how you blow by everyone on the straits like they are standing still!

Long live the BOOSTED VQS!

So he was pushing probably around 550hp?
I'd be scared to push that hard first time on the track after boost, that's A LOT to get used to!

Actually 10 is about 600. I ran 10psi on the first day, and 13 for a couple sessions on the second day.

I was already killing mustangs and porsches on the track with Street tires, can't wait to see what she can do on boost with track tires!

DAMN! That vid is not fair dude. Posting things like that make those of us that do not have one to crunch numbers unnecessarily.

"In my most self convincing voice"........I am happy with my Greddy Kit and set-up. I am only a few parts (grand) away from a complete monster. The F.I. Kit would be awesome, but would cause a complete budget overhaul in my case...........you don't need it, you want it.

You guys are mean and you know it...........that said, that **** is awesome SUN!

Very nice control over the Z. That's how it's done. Car reviewers in the past have looked like amateurs on video.

the FI kit is amazing, but why would you consider switching kits? phunk has already made 586 at 9psi on e85 with the greddy kit, that kit can do 700whp on a built block no question

Very true, but it is so tempting........

I am currently pushing 534 to the wheels and I still have to do the S2 fuel system upgrade as well as forged internals. In the back of my mind, I know that it is unnecessary. But damn.........

Overbuilding a fuel system is never a bad thing
