Wish we had E85 at pumps here as I'd swap straight over. Even on MS 109 my intake temps get to 50c even before I start when waiting in a long queue at an all day Summer event. Cooling the main barrier to extracting the most out of VTGS. In fact a fellow who you deal with on here (M3) who knows far more about VTGS than me tells me the GT2 hot side almost an irrelevance the difference so small compared to the extra cost v benefit.
I knew you would like this one. As soon as I saw GT2 hot side I thought of you . I'll be in the UK later this year, I wonder if they'll let me throw a 55 gallon drum of Ignite Red in the cargo hold...
will be interesting to see a VTG build "all in". my friends car made 767whp on stock engine with 63.5 and E85. I think built/upgraded motor it would def go 800+ and that's without the GT2 hot sides which will unlock even more HP.
Got her all put together today! Starting with little details and break in procedure. Here's just a few pictures. Will try to gather more of the entire project in depth...
Sounds good Sam. Excited to see how much we can get out of 93 pump gas. That will probably be what I run most of the time during winter given storing E85 in the tank during winter can deteriorate pretty quickly I've heard.
Things are progressing. Car is all back together. Sam is breaking in the engine and was kind enough to send me a quick clip of how the exhaust sounds. Let me know what you think! I'm jealous he's getting to drive it. They will start the tuning next week on 93 pump then move to E85. Heat wave was over 100 degrees this week in CA, so not optimal conditions for dyno tuning.
The car is pretty rowdy my friend! That's partial throttle up to about 5000 RPM. First time I've heard this exhaust set up with the car running camshaft upgrades. I can't wait to hear it at 8000! Several days at 110° have really gotten to us though, so Labor Day weekend came just in time. We were able to check off many boxes on the list and even add a few other things before we finish at 93 next week. Stay tuned and have a great weekend!
