Those aren't the Evo-R blades. They're Tarmac Sportz.

No worries. They're similar but I really like these better than the Evo-Rs. They come from the UK and are 240 pounds shipped to the US. With the exchange rate right now that's $395. A little pricey for side blades but I might still go for it.

These are held on with 8 screws each ;)

Might as well. You'll never actually receive a product from Evo-R.

Is that power fall because of dropping boost? Shouldn't hold still 10 psi to the very end?

Sasha, what is the stock block boost limit for your kit ?

Puckshaw - solid numbers, I'm almost exited as you because one of Sasha's great kits will soon land in my car too :)

I've seen a couple of the other BP kit dynos and they manage to hold the power to redline even though the boost drops off. Might just be how the tuning is done. Can't wait to see your result. You're going to love it ;)

The power fall is not from the drop in boost. My boost dropped on the top end, but I was still making power. I believe the drop on boost is because of the VVEL. Sasha can confirm that.

The power tapering off so early with this dyno is strictly due to the way the car is tuned. This is the firs dyno (out of about ten) where the power starts to fall off. VVEL is the reason boost falls off a bit, but as long as power is going up, there is nothing to worry about. This is straight from one of the best tuners out there. I think this tune is simply very conservative in the upper rpm's, and a bit aggressive to start with as the torque is high. Of course each tuner will have a different power/torque curve. It is like a signature, despite the fact that both engine and turbo kit are identical.

Yeah I looked at one of the VSR dynos this shop tuned and it's similar in the upper rpms. I think he just dials it back a bit. As for the torque, it is high but comes on smooth which I feel is safe.

On another note, this car goes like a raped ape. I just took a friend for a spin and was giving it the beans on the highway. Accidentally spun 4th gear lol Damn this thing is fun but takes a little finesse to drive fast. I'm getting used to rolling into the throttle and putting the power down better. It's just so cold right now that traction is scarce. I thought I could hammer 4th without worrying about it but nope haha

Thanks my friend. Do it. Do it now.

puckshaw 01-09-2014 02:06 PM

The shop sent me the overlay of the turbo vs baseline. Looks like they used a different pull than the one I posted before but you get the idea. Quite a difference from my old setup lol

So much for a "business with a brick and mortar facility with bona fide business hours, phone number, e-mail address and fax number" who "has been in business for 26 years".

It just goes to prove that it doesn't matter what the walls/exterior look like, but it does matter what is inside them.

Glad you got your money back, and hope nobody else goes through the same BS.

I'm actually really glad that GTM can't get their sh!t together because it led me to your kit. It's honestly the best thing that could have happened for me. It couldn't have worked out any better in the end. Well I guess I could have gotten my refund :rofl2:

nice video dude!!!:tup: want my Z turbo :tup:

puckshaw 02-26-2014 11:39 AM

Just put my order in for a new clutch. The stock clutch is slipping in 3rd gear and up when going full throttle. Wasn't an issue when it was a bit colder since the tires would break loose first. Now that I've got a little more traction, the clutch can't handle it.

I'm shocked it lasted past the dyno tune considering your torque number. 500 miles of break in is going to suck. Primary reason I'm doing the clutch before turbo install.

Mr&Mrs 02-27-2014 07:29 AM

I know the way I drive it will take me 6 months to put 500 miles on my new clutch. If I ever get around to having it installed. I can't DD it to help either because I drive through really bad roads and scrap truck routes on my way to work. Get nails monthly in my beater.

puckshaw 02-27-2014 07:42 AM

Yeah I'm a bit surprised it held up on the dyno too. 500 miles is going to take me a while too since I only average about 3,000 miles per year lol. I'll start driving it more often but my commute is only 14 miles round trip. So even if I drive it to work it won't add up too quickly :(

jwick 02-27-2014 08:41 AM

Damn...I thought it was going to take me forever to break mine in since I only average about 150 miles a week. Figure I can do some extra weekend driving to cut break in down to two weeks, since I'll be extra motivated (Boost is one hell of a motivator)

puckshaw 03-27-2014 10:53 AM

Clutch finally arrived today after a long delay. Going in next week :)

That is a long delay. You went with the SZ, right?

Yup. They get the components from RPS and their main builder was having some personal issues. It kept getting pushed out. SZ at least did a great job of keeping me updated on the situation.

faceglide 03-27-2014 12:20 PM

Love my SZ, good choice, handles 500+FT lb like it's a joke.

The first 300 miles Will feel rough but it finishes well, has the least pedal pressure for this level of power and is amazingly quiet for its light weight.

I love mine and am begging them to ship something up to support 1000hp down the road. You will love it!

Now that's what I like to hear! Really looking forward to getting this installed and broken in :tup:

faceglide 03-27-2014 12:27 PM

Any of the puck ones are super rough to start off, not going to lie. Mine is a 6 puck and it was really annoying because my first 3 hours with the car where in traffic lol. But now I don't notice but a tiny bit of chatter low rpms in 1st, push the gas or go to 2nd and boom, smooth as glass.

The street is only smoother, little less grab. But I find the 6 puck perfectly streetable.
