Update,
We have pricing finalized! It will be released in the
"Official Press Release". The update today is to share some professional thoughts in response to (one of our competitors) as well as share some additional photos of our highly anticipated kit...
So the word on the street about our kit is and I quote
"Since bells, whistles and shiny manifolds that no-one will ever see once installed under your hood involve lots of unnecessary cost that drives up the price for a twin turbo system". Well let me be the first to tell you all, the manifolds themselves are a very small cost in the grand scheme of things in our kit. The main contributing cost, the "meat and potato's" that drives the cost of our kit is the following:
-Garrett GT Series "Ball Bearing/Water cooled" Turbochargers
As we all know force inducted applications generate large amounts of heat. Heat within the engine bay and heat within the exhaust system. We are talking EGT's Exhaust Gas Temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Water cooled turbochargers being used in everyday current applications are the result of evolution and technology. To not offer this in our kit to cut cost is not an option.
-Tial 38mm MSV Wastegates/Tial Q Blow Off Valves
Tial has a proven name and is by far and away one the highest quality and most reliable options in the industry. There are some good alternatives however in the end we chose Tial. The cutting edge technology in both the (optional) Water cooled Wastegates and Q Blow Off Valve are where it is right now and tomorrows future. There are more affordable options on the market. Again, when designing this kit for the community we committed to using only (what we felt) is the right fit for our kit.
-F.I. Front Mount Innercooler
Our innercooler was designed to provide the kit with the maximum amount of flow which will create the highest efficiency available. Keeping the (IAT's) Inlet Air Temperature's as low as possible. This is achieved by the use of a high quality core that is matched for air flow and desired performance of it's application and not simply designed within a space constraint, i.e. cramming a very small and inefficient innnercooler between your core support and crash bar. On the other hand, safety is a top priority and concern.
This is why we are working on incorporating the factory crash bar to fit with the proper innercooler opposed to an inefficient innercooler fitting behind the factory crash bar.
-Aluminum Innercooler Tubing
Our innercooler tubing is 6061 light weight "polished" aluminum or wrinkle black power coated. A third TOP SECRET option will be available down the road but for now is Top Secret. We could of saved cost and fabricated the tubing our of steel and then chrome plated it however as well all know, steel is heavier, is susceptible to rusting on the inside where it is not chromed, the chroming can flake over time and last and most important will not dissipate heat nearly as well as aluminum.
The parts above are just a few of the major key components that make our kit what it is. Custom aluminum water fittings & oil drain fittings, innercooler brackets, the Greddy Oil pan and our Oil Cooler Kit, Bosch Injectors, Walbro and optional Aeromotive fuel pumps are other contributing costs that drive the kit as well.
The bottom line is this, At the end of the day our kit is methodically designed and manufactured with the highest and most efficient available/custom parts. The installation is extremely straightforward with no modifications to the engine, wiring harness and steering components. We have proven that our kit performs across the board. Real world, believable dyno charts and data are what we have produced.
The result of what we have created so far helped along with precision driving to now holding the worlds fastest E.T. quarter mile time @
11.493 seconds...
On to the fun part. Below are some additional teaser pics to hold you all over until the "Official Press Release".
The Turbocharger featured below is a GT30 Series. Yes, our manifolds and kit can fit GT 30 Series Turbochargers with zero modification.
On a final parting note:
