we are around and would appreciate this thread getting back on topic before it just gets closed...members are encouraged to question claims made by another member or a vendor but they are asked to ALWAYS do it in a respectful way, which has not been the case here...so please clean it up or I'll do it for you

 

"Its not how fast you can go ,Its how good you can drive going fast"

 

What has been going here. PLEASE DO NOT HAVE MY THREAD CLOSED.



We all have favorites and likes. In the past there was only one and what I am trying to do here is offer something our way, the way I like things, classy and high end for our cars.

We are all unique, and that is what makes all of us special in our own way. That said I like more what we are doing than the other guys are offering (and that could be anybody or anything for that matter), because it's ours period. That is the way I want it, my vision.

Our components will speak for themselves when it is all set and done. I think that you all will like what you will see soon. I know that everyone is hung up on power and torque numbers. I will say this again as I have done in the past. Our claims are based on manifold pressure a car running 100kPa (NA) will make 200 HP lets say(easy math). Now you add another 100kPa which will boost it another atmosphere to 200kPa total. You have increased it 100%. It stands to reason and it's been done that the power will double, assuming the engine can tolerate it. So if you decide to run 150kPa(7 psi or .5 bar) it is all the same, you are adding 50% of the original power back into the engine. Simple math!

When you take 140kPa(6psi or .4 bar) that is 40% so on and so forth, easy right or am I wrong. Not a chance. Sorry for being ****y! Been doing it too long. Based on this a 300HP engine running 140kPa should produce another 120 HP give or take a little based on individual engines. That is pretty accurate. So now you have a 420 hp engine, not bad.

Now take that 300 HP and like gr8ful mentioned if you run 180kPa you will be adding another 80% to your engine. 240 is 80% of 300. That seems reasonable to me. What do you all think.

All along I have made our claims based on the examples above and from engine dyno testing which is the equipment that we have here. Another example on our dyno was a 968 engine that we turbocharged and ran 150kPa and it made 364 at the crank. A 968 made around 240 so those numbers seem to go with what I am explaining above.

Remember that the thread is about what we are doing and not what someone else did and there claims. So please keep it nice and I can keep sharing with you what we are doing and how we are doing it.

To answer gr8ful question about the oiling after shut off. Any turbo that is using engine oil would have a problem if it does not idle after a hard load. A turbo timer or something like that would be needed if you want to walk away like most of us do. The turbos that we are using are self lubricated and as long as the shaft is spinning it will lubricate itself through the wick. So no need for turbo timer and no oil ****ing problems either.

I will post some more pictures as soon as I get the tubing ready for molding.

Going home I'm late again!

 

Looks like renegade srt got canned from the forum. The thread was up to 70 something posts and then it was in the 60's. Got to keep it nice or else! As soon as we have project done we will do some tests and post some results. Being hopeful of performance and response from people. Big shoes to fill!!

Cheers

 

Most importantly, who's doing the software for all of this??

 

Look forward to seeing the finished project. Now that all the idiotic bashing is over, I'm subscribed! [..and I haven't even bought a Cayman yet!]

 

Guys

Be patient and when it is all set and done I will give as much info as we deem appropriate. We are working with a couple of people that will provide software for our project. We are also looking at in house development of it as well. There are only a few good people that can do this the right way.

Stay tuned for more later

 

It was nice talking to you as well. I will keep you informed of progress and what we might need.

Cheers

 

Had a nice conversation yesterday with Greg Martin of IPD Plenums and after talking with him about our product we have determined that using their plenum is a must with our kit.

We were designing one that was going to be made in carbon fiber that was going to be used in the kit. After analyzing the cost of molding and the production cost of the part after molding I decided that joining with IPD after their track record was the thing to do. Their product will complement the our the desire to produce a high quality product with high quality parts made in OUR COUNTRY! I like to support great efforts from our own ingenuity in this country and IPD is just one example. They are a sponsor of 6 Speed also, ck them out.

Cheers

 

Hey, Ivan, How long have you been here? Got a Green Card? (Just JOKING!)

I lost my Russian or I'd use it here. It is great to hear anyone say proudly touting "high quality product with high quality products made in OUR COUNTRY!"

Wait 'til we get rid of this federal income tax and go back to duties & tariffs on imports--you'll be better protect then my friend. We'll all be better off. And the Middle Class shall rise again!

 

Great to see that you're working with IPD Ivan. It's always good to see businesses work together rather than reinventing the wheel, then passing development costs down to the customer.

Really excited to see how your resolve the electronics, and especially to see the final product! I'm sure it will turn out amazing if it keeps going on its present course!

Edit" BTW, will you be using an 82mm plenum with a GT3 throttle body or a 74mm plenum with the stock one?

 

very nice.. let us know wen the kit is out. i might want one..

 

Glad to have another choice. I read most of the info here but didn't see any news about the dfi 2nd gen motor. The pdk seems to take up alot of room underneath too. Will this system work with pdk?

 

Tubing is ready to be molded. It takes a long time to get that stuff to look perfect so the mold will come out without a blemish. Now it is up to the carbon guys to rap that up. Once they get the final product back then we can finalize the project and best of all go for a spin and test it out. I am pretty excited about it. Here is a picture of what the tubing looks like before it gets molded. Then of course it will have a super nice carbon fiber look!!

Will keep you up to date with progress.

Cheers

 

This is looking like a work of art, better than factory, rather than an after market build. Are you using lower compression pistons & rings?
