Banelba thanks for your donation it will go towards next tune , which will be recorded with a good video this time......xrvman.. I'll email you and thanks for offering your services....laser187... We will definetly be making a kit for the types but right now we are working on finishing the base kit first , then I'm gonna speak with Paul about getting a harness made for the types.....then we" 'll go from there ........I hate cars it's a precision 61 mm turbo with a .68ar ..were just looking at power delivery right now to make sure power is available throught rpm range instead of just at high rpm , which looks good so far which at 6psi &a 11.3 air fuel we still have another 15-25 hp more to c with fine tuning g at the same psi..intercooled yes we are currently waiting on a smaller intercooler which will be tested right now our intercooler is an overkill , probably will suit a higher hp setup ...I'm gonna try to get dyno graph more clear .. In the mean time if anyone has tools to post dyno sheet clearer I'm more than willing to fax a copy feel free to pm me fax number......Nedshneebly thanks for volunteering to donate to a worthy cause...

how much do you think a kit will run? will you provide the maps for tuning? will this kit be for manny or auto? What parts are you going to include? If in the near future, will upgradeing any components that came with the turbo itself effect anything? (i.e turbo, bov, intercooler, piping... etc) will this need to be professionally installed?
thanks...
thanks...

I hope so or else I'm selling my type s for a 6mt base TL, convert the aesthetics to a TL-S and then getting the turbo. I love the look of the TL... just needs more power.

Interesting. I've actually run the PTE61 with the same .68 A/R. Made a hair over 500rwhp with it, pretty sure it was close to maxed out because the charge air temps were getting way up there. I think that's a great choice, a little on the large size for the hp level. You could get better spool out of a smaller one with no penalty up top but this one will give you room to grow if you choose to turn the boost up.
Even at 6-8 psi you will notice roughly a 10% gain in power throughout the rpm range with no difference in spool with a good intercooler.

Pricing as of now isn't finalized yet due to the fact during r&d things might change, like for instance the intercooler .. But as soon as we finish testing especially for reliabilty which is what everyone wants I'll definetly let everyone know..kit will include everything from Aem fic , plug&play harness ,piping , fittings all necessary hardware so after install you can start up ...... As far as install a diy video will be available so it would be up to buyer ,.... Quiet simple thou.....

I want to thank you and Banelba. You guys just made the TL competitive with the likes of the Corvette, 335 (even in chipped form), IS350, 370Z, Mustangs, Camaros, etc that we never had a chance against before.
While it may "only" be at 350whp with a nice dose of torque (quite a bit more than a 335 for that matter), you're just a few psi and some supporting mods away from the magical 400+ range.
Making the power is no longer an issue, now someone has to step up and find out what the stock internals will take. Any ideas of where you're going to stop and call it good enough?

hey, was wondering what types of gauges either car is using? would a knock sensor light still be needed like the s/c's? too much of a cluster isn't always good, especially if your tryna sleep next to some cocky 335i or 370z >=]
#744
At least IMO the must have gauges are UGEO & Boost, a knock warning light would be nice also, slippry came up with a nice clean gauge setup for his car putting them up in the cluster that I am sure he can replicate for others.

I'm gonna guess and say its going to take atleast another 3-4 months before they go into production with the base kits, and atleast another 1 year before they venture in for the TYPE S. Then you'll have your standard issues with the first set of people and all the tweaking that needs to be done to perfect it. So it'll be soon, but not very soon. Think about how long it took Mike to make the ATLP exhausts..

Ah, I misread this the first time. So you currently have a large intercooler and you're looking for a suitable smaller one... Really, I don't think there's a need to go smaller unless there's a fitment issue. I'm conservative on most things but the intercooler is one area where it's better to err on the larger side. No downsides to being too large unless it's grossly oversized but there are plenty of downsides to being too small.

The broken tranny is on it's way to be upgrade. I TRYING to UPGRADE it to a stage 10, but if it's not possible since just a bunch of people knows how to do the job and money is getting tight, I may just max it out at 8 PSI with somehow 350 to 360 WHP and a little bit less torque.
And just as mention in my earlier post of this tread, YES WE CAN

They're doing everyone a favor by not releasing an unreliable kit. IMO, the supercharger is a prime example of a kit that was rushed to production and half assed.
The hp numbers are easy to hit. But there are many other things that have to be done once you get into that hp range. It has to have consistant AF ratios, no knock under all conditons and rpms, no surging problems, you can tweak wastegate settings for optimum spoolup, from the sounds of it, an exhaust system has to be fabricated, and then there's plain old time. It needs to be daily driven just as a customer would do in the real world to make sure it all comes together ok and stays reliable. If problems are found in the final step which they usually are, it has to be solved and retested.

You have to understand the R&D that goes into this stuff. They might hit the hp numbers right away but the final tweaking, drivability, and reliability testing takes a long time.

Wow, after looking at that website, isn't that the PTE Garrett GT "boosted" series dual ball bearing turbos? Badass!
Just a data point for you guys.... Our faster car made 518rwhp at 10psi. The TL is making 430ish at the same boost. We ended up hitting 800 and change at the wheels with some real boost. Anyone see what the TL is capable of with a turbo?
Hell, pound for pound of boost the TL would blow my GN away from a roll.

Basically we are going to be able to hit the hp limit of the stock internals with just the turbo and supporting mods, no other mods like cams, ported heads, etc. In other words, with one mod, you can have all the hp the engine can handle.

Just illustrating the hp potential of this engine. Pound for pound of boost it makes more hp than my GN. I've always said that with the airflow of the stock heads/intake this thing would be a killer with some real boost and it's coming true.

" I hate Car" you are very right and there is a second engine sitting and waiting to be Ported and polish, cams done and even the crankshaft will be lightened. You won't see a lot of Honda to which the crankshaft been work on because a lot of machine shop do not like to mess with the Honda ones.

Thanks jnc2000 .... Alright I have some great news just got of the of phone with tuner so I confirmed one thing if u look at graph you can tell there's no transition for vtec engagement .. That's because the vtec is controlled by Aem fic which Paul instructed us but after runnig late no remembered that ..... So long story short there's no vtec currently on with this tune ,tuner said at no charge on Tuesday he'll retune it for me at same psi with vtec on this time weeeeeeeeeehoooooooooooooo
