Look up 73draggy on YouTube. He built his VR38 engine from a rejected/recalled long block. It's pretty neat with his attention to detail... almost OCD! I'd like to slowly build something like this on the side one day. It won't be anything too crazy - maybe a Stage 1 which can handle 600 whp or so.

Yes. Well looks like I might be backing out of the group buy. I have a huge project involving my backyard that I need to finish. :shakes head:

Even our stock G's will overheat in summer in traffic here with A/C on full blast lol The S/C is always making positive boost and is always putting extra load on the engine. Wish they came with...

I don't see why you can't DD a boosted Z. Remember, you don't see boost until you're actually on the gas pedal. Cruising around with light throttle is no different than driving around N/A. If the kit...

Right, there was some good info in there....plus I thought the car was suppose to be done.

It's not worth the risk, or the gains. THAT's why they have you take it off

Highly suggest you do some research on the crank pulley before installing...

They don't offer too many options because the stock intake does pretty well as is. The Motordyne didn't make power up-top, but it makes a good amount of horsepower and torque in the mid-range. ...

they made something like 5 of them lost hp on NA apps from what i read. something about too much airflow or something. could potentially be great with boosted apps.Its a shame, because their...

I would like to know this but I am not willing to test it lol

Here's a video I made of it on the dyno, liQtpOeSwX8

Congrats Sasha glad to see your kit doing well ,and nice to see you get some recognition for you kit.:tup:

VVEL is the reason for the drop in boost not the EBC. There is more valve overlap tuned into the car for higher RPM NA power, if the VVEL were retuned you could increase power by limiting boost loss....

So, I just spent some time on the phone with Vince. To sum it up, the boost is nothing to worry about. The car (as you can see by the HP curve) continued to make more power with the higher boost...

Thank you for sharing that info. BTW. I really appreciate it. The reason I think it is back pressure is the fact that this thing spools stupid fast. If it spools fast, you will get great low...
