We have completed our first round of testing here at AMS with our 996TT x50 car. Our primary test subject is our new bolt on turbo. This Turbo is a brand new aero design with extended tip technology and a 46mm inducer.



We have been tearing into this car to see what its made of, and we will be testing everything along the way to make the absolute most out of these cars. Since our car is an x50 car from the factory, it came with the k24 turbos and made some pretty respectable numbers right away. Completely stock the car put down 450whp as can be seen in the dyno chart which is attached. The mostly stock car which now pumps out 550whp has ONLY the following parts:

AMS Prototype K16 billet turbo upgrades
Cross Titanium Exhaust
5 bar fuel pressure regulator
Flash from Tony @ EPL



The car is currently in 2 wheel drive mode on our Dynojet. Even with some creative strapping techniques, I was unable to get the car to keep from spinning the wheels in fourth gear. So I did a couple runs in fifth gear and it made over 600ft lbs of torque!



If you are keeping score, that means that this current turbo combination:

-Spools faster than a k24 turbo
-Makes 140+ ft lbs of torque more than an X50 car
-Makes 140+ hp more than an x50 car
-Is totally maxing out the stock injectors!

The car is completely out of fuel and is even a bit dangerous to be testing at this boost level between 1.3 and 1.4 bar. The car DESPERATELY needs fuel injectors. By my calculations the injectors are static (100% + Duty Cycle) at 5200rpms! All of that spent exhaust gas is pushing through a stock k16 turbo exhaust side, which is a huge restriction at this point and most likely plays a large part in the shape of the horsepower curve past 5500rpms. We will be continuing our development and testing with these turbos and some new variants in the very near future. The car should also be making it to the Texas mile in a few weeks!

 

nice setup & #'s!

btw, this is off-topic, but congrats on the Evo X for taking Modified class 1st Place! love the car!

 

Cool. Are you planning on running some 60-130 times anytime soon? I would love to come by your shop and check the car out.

 

Congrats those numbers are awesome!

 

That exhaust is a work of art!

 

Awesome work! Great to see you guys in the game.

Few questions:

What octane?

You went from straight K24s to K16 hotsides/billet comp wheels, correct?

 

This is on 93oct gas straight from the pump!

Yes, the k24's came off and these turbos are k16's with our billet compressor wheels on them.

 

Congrats, so you went from the X50 K24's to K16s-billet wheels or did you do K24-Billet wheels?

Thanks

 

how much are the k16 billets?

 

Awesome, good to see AMS in the P-car camp!

 

can we get an exhuast note clip for this car?

 

In for the exhaust note. I want a more aggressive exhaust

 

I'd have been interested in the difference (dynos) between an optimized K24 (ie exhaust, EPL tune, FPR) as compared to the same but with the new turbos.

 

I'm curious how a completely stock car that is rated 450 flywheel hp stock is putting down 450whp?
Even in rwd mode, that seems a bit strange, maybe you could shed some light on this?
Could it be possible the car was already flashed with the stock turbos?

 

I have never heard a stock car w/450 crank HP dynoing 450 rwhp. You have a very special dyno.
