I'm looking to have just above 500 rwhp(500-520) and around 10psi and a DD. Is this the kit for me?
I currently run Husky 94 AKI Octane |
It'll definitely do it

530hp/430tq on 10PSI running 94. James is pushing a bit more than me as well. |
See Sig 10.5 psi

Hey Sasha any kinda ballpark estimate when you will be accepting payment for the new batch of kits you'll have coming out hopefully sometime soon? And when you think they'll be ready for customers? I feel like this is a black Friday special and I'm out here waiting in a tent to snatch it up before their all gone again....

However, to carry on in this direction...I have now built a new jig for the V2.0 manifold and the slightly different down pipe that will have to go with it. Y-pipe and re-circ pipe stay the same. I have also made a set (V2.0) of new IC pipes (turbo to FMIC), and they take a lot longer to build than the original...as a result I may have to increase the price of the kit by just a bit. There has been a few additions/improvements in the last little while, and I have tried to keep the price the same. All these things are adding up though, especially now with the additional labour required to build the kit. The increase will be around $130. At this time I am focusing on shipping one VHR kit to a customer with a built motor, and another twin scroll kit to a G35 customer, also with a built motor. These should be ready to ship at the end of this week. There is also a local customer who is coming in for a complete install at the end of May, so that kit still has to be built. All this fabrication should be out of the way by the end of this month. After that, I still have 4 V1.5 turbo kits to finish. These will be available soon. These kits will come with the V1.0 exhaust components, but with the new IC pipes/routing and thermostatic plate (easy install). I am really hoping to get these out the door before the local customer comes in for a complete install on the last day of May. Once all that is out of the way, it will be pedal to the metal on the complete V2.0 kit for this platform, as the demand is very high. |

Any idea when you might be able to think about building and sending V1.5 IC and Compressor cover for us with an existing kit? Worked out that cost yet? |
Quote:
New turbo compressor cover New IC pipes (powder coated) New Oil filter (Mobil M1-108) New themostatic plate with -8 an fittings New (one) oil line (thermo plate to cooler) New 90 degree silicone coupler (the rest are reused) |
Quote:
Wait...don't we need a new compressor cover too? |
Quote:
Yup, that is included in the price...just forgot to list it. Will edit the post. |
Daaaang.. so if I understood correctly, best case scenario on starting the new V2 kit will be end of May?

I might be able to return the $300 worth of an fittings I just ordered. |

I will keep you guys posted on when this is available. It is priced very low...as in there really is no profit on this on my end, but then again, I am loyal to my customers...:)

I don't really have to ask per se, but it makes life much easier if the purchase is ok'd by the wife lol. She has been really cool and supportive of the whole ordeal thus far. I don't want to push it too hard and piss her off lol. You know how women are.
Cell I actually already picked up a second job so I could get it all done before ZDayZ lol. |

sasha, have you tried to see if your setup can accommodate a borg turbo? like the new s362 fmw?
|
Quote:
Also, the BW turbos use massive compressor covers for some reason, so physically it is much larger, so I don't think it would fit well. |
any updates on progress sasha?

I have been put in charge of some major projects at my "day job", and it is eating up a lot of my time. I just haven't had much time to work on the kits. Hopefully things slow down a bit in the near future so I can get a few kits finished up. |
Wish you were closer, I would work for boost products haha.
|
:( maaannnnnnn I was hoping for good news!
|
Yeah, sorry guys. I do have 4 V1.5 kits that are 75% complete...just need to find a bit of time to get the rest of the parts fabricated.
|
How's that diff bracket coming along Sasha? Going to have any for sale at the Dyno Weekend in June?
Time permitting of course... Gotta get those Boosted kits out! Sent from Canadia |
Have a couple of questions.
Love this kit immensely and it seriously has me questioning my original Stillen SC plan. But something just sprung to mind and it's mostly just nit-picking and likely to have very little effect one way or the other.... but this is a Twin Scroll Turbo setup. Given the nature of the design and why it was thought up in the first place, Single Twin Scrolls are typically most effective with 4 Cylinder Engines (and Dual Twin Scrolls on a V8) where the exhaust gasses can be easily split up in pairs. I've not really seen any V6 engines using Twin Scroll setups given their cylinder firing order. Is it really worth using a Twin Scroll Turbo rather then a traditional one for our application? Or was the Turbo selection not made with it's Twin Scroll function in mind? This illustrates what I mean: http://www.autozine.org/technical_sc...inscroll_2.jpg For those curious, this is a great explanation of a Twin Scroll Turbo application & purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7JTRRlSEYI Also, being that close to the Gearbox/Transmission, I'd really feel much more comfortable with wrapping every bit of exhaust down there in the best insulating wrap available, and even look around for a suitable Turbo Blanket/Jacket to slip over that thing. Do you foresee any issues with this? Or any tips? Cheers, MoulaZ |
I wrapped my silicone wastegate/controller lines, JWICK did everything.... other than that, nothing is by the manifold pipe that would not be subjected to normal exhaust heat, I have inspected the setup many times to ensure I see no heat problems, thus far none, I just hate what exhaust wrap does to the pipes, a guy a work may ceramic coat the manifold over winter for me. As for the twin scroll, I believe it works, Sasha has 3 cylinders feeding one side and 3 feeding the other, its not one collective exhaust mass moving into the turbo. I will dig up a vsr dyno graph, if you compare that to the BP kit, you will se how much sooner this kit builds tq, I just attributed that to the twin scroll, but I guess I could be wrong, Sasha will tell all!

Ill let Sasha answer this, but for what its worth the BMW N55 engines have a dual scroll charger on their inline 6's. Also I have about 20,000 bagging kms on my kit with 0 issues where it is placed. You can wrap it if you want but the amount of air moving around it doesnt allow enough heat to build up. |
I wrapped everything but I'm an engineer and don't like to take chances. There's pictures of header wrap and thermo-tec on all wires and hoses in my build thread (link below). I also check zip ties all the time to make sure they aren't melting and I've not seen any issues

Quote:
Also, the advantage of a twin scroll has to do with the order of firing pulses. Because the Z uses 1-6 firing order on alternate banks and Sasha made sure to keep each header equal length, the pulses will enter the split turbine housing alternately which adds to the efficiency. I'm sure Sasha can chime in here with more info. |
