vduzin-

If you search the archives, you will find updates along the way.

Here is the last update thread we did. That can be found here:
AWE Tuning Project 700S: 712hp on 93 octane!



Here is the dyno sheet:

Actually, we never posted the race fuel sheets!

Here is one from our in house test vehicle with 100% production parts:




Please e-mail Mike for pricing and availability of this kit.

Incredible! Excellent write up!

How about some video? Im not sure if I cant handle that much power. The RPM's probably go so quick that you just need to be ready to shift.

We're waiting for footage from the helicopter at the Texas Mile to do a neat mix of eclou's car in action.

The power is 100% tied to your right foot. Drive it mildly, and you would not even know the car was not stock.

On the other hand, nail the throttle and you better hold on! In race mode in 2nd gear, the car can get sideways if you are reckless with power application! However, our car has been driven at multiple track days at this power level (I am a national PCA instructor), and I've never spun it or gone off track.

But admit it Todd, you have madD SkilZ!

eclou or todd; what boost psi are you running on 93 octane and 103 octane?

~1.1 - 1.2 bar.

Sorry about that.

[Todd/AWE]

Actually, boost curve is a bit different than that. Forgive Mike, he hasn't seen this sheet yet and the in-car gauge is woefully inaccurate.

Here is our curve. Very similar to big turbo kits for 996TT, just a lot more efficient with power delivery. 4th gear run for maximum loading:

Nice job Lou(awe too), nice #s, any psm issues?
I hope the stickers are removable, not diggin' the look at all

[eclou]

No PSM or PASM issues so far Chris. And yes, the stickers have been removed and replaced with the obligatory "Type R" badges!

Type R - probably gives another 30 HP...

At least you didn't put gauges in the A pillars. As an aside, I saw where a guy put the gt3 nose vent in a GR TT, looks ok in pictures, but not good at all in person.

[eclou]

I think one of the positive things about this kit that cannot be emphasized enough is that none of the factory safeguards for knock, IAT, EGT, etc were tampered with so that the engine runs with the same as stock capabilities to maintain safe combustion parameters. Because of that, there isn't a real need for auxiliary gauges. The execution of the kit hits the target of stock drivability and avoids any of the frazzle sometimes encountered with aftermarket patch-job tuning.

Inspired by TB993tt, I bring you some costly data from this morning. Conditions were 58F, no wind, concrete road (not a prepared track), very slight uphill. Ran a 60-130mph of 6.97s and 7.00 before getting nailed X2 (screw caused flat rear passenger tire, and got caught by trooper observing from the freeway). This data comes at great expense...
