What have people done to get close to this number? Would I have to build the engine?
Thanks for any info

Not if you have the money to go w/Dahlback

who has gotten one of his kits-- it was my understanding that the only place that imports the kits is Jt motorsport out of newhampshire-- and they did not respond to my last e-mail. Does anyone have real world experience?
Thanks for the time

I AM HAVING A CUSTOM CAR DONE NOW BUT IT IS QUITE A BIT ABOVE THAT FIGURE. TIM CAN GIVE YOU SOME FEEDBACK, ALSO THE TESTS SO FAR SHOW THEIR FIGURES ARE CONSERVATIVE

if I were to start again, I think I'd go directly to a standalone system, although I'm not sure which one. Granted, it'd be much easier if big turbo kits were more common & chips were available, but then we'd all be more common, & less of a unique thing. There's a lot to be said for these one-off hybrid turbo'd cars with built engines. Lots of wrench time, product knowledge, and a fine tuned idea of exactly how suck/squish/bang/blow is supposed to work!

I'll be getting on a dyno in the next week or two, and expect to peak over 300 whp. Standalone? No. ATP chip & AFC.

They also have the 430 and 500+ kits I am getting will post when done

Not.

I should be at, or hopefully, above 300whp now, (dyno appointment next week)

I've got a 2.0 conversion, T3/T4 turbo, 580cc injectors, and my own chip.

It can be done with a 1.8, but you'll have a little more lag due to the turbo size.

My suggestion: Leave your current motor stock, add the bigger turbo, etc, and run/tune it. Then start building a 2nd motor on the side. So if/when you blow the 1st motor, you've got another one to replace it. And if it blows because of bad tuning, then you won't be as pissed since it won't be the motor you just spent big $$$$ on.

what rout would you take with the bigger turbo?? get something custom tuned?

xr4tic

stock chip and all.

It worked, but the rev limiter sucked.

A K03 chip and an A/F controller will probably work quite well, there's definately still some HP potential, but given the cost of custom tuning vs. an A/F controller, it's probably the way to go. I could probably get you a decent base chip for 440s and whatever MAF you use.
