Unfortunately this customer ran out of fuel (E85) at about 27psi of boost. The turbo still have a lot left in it. A more recent dyno on the VHR, showing how the kit spools (4th gear), and what the potential is. This is the base turbo, there are two more larger turbos available that are direct bolt on. Keep in mind that this kit offers a large range of turbos and turbine housings, this is why I said it has tremendous advantages (IMO) over the top mount, which is only available in a small V-band turbine housing, which ultimately is a huge limiting factor.

Oh and btw I have room to upgrade to a bigger housing but I don't feel the need for another 50-90 hp.. The fact is a Twin setup will Always be king due to simple math. Keep an eye out very soon for BBR's twin turbo kit...

There are so many factors in the turbo game when you start cranking up the boost. Granted our cars are Very efficient at making boost but when you start going over the normal 550-650whp range thats when you run into the real efficiency due to several bottle necks of our cars. I can honestly say it has really been a learning experience to me on piping diameter and air intake sizes,fuel, timing, etc etc to really make big power on our cars. I for one scrapped the top mount design and actually told those guys what size piping to use and actually tried different things rather than just strapping on the top mount kit...

also keep in mind my motor compression is 9:1. Takes a tiny bit more psi to get power

That all really depends on what you are looking for in your build. As long as turbo selection is correct TT and ST will have about the same power up top. Down low the ST will always make more torque. So in a situation where traction is an issue the TT is a better option because the power comes on a little more gradually. A ST has a much more dramatic torque curve. Guess I have to add the caveat of placement of the ST plays a huge roll. You need to minimize the amount of hot side piping feeding the turbine. My boost threshold is below 2,500 rpms and lag is couple hundred rpms. I venture to bet that's in the ballpark for the best TT kits for our platform. I'm still on stock block power levels so the differences might show a lot more when you really start taxing a built motor. Overall I do agree with you mainly because TT is the best way to package a kit for appearance and efficiency. |

Trial and error and Lots of money but your right I have had a twin setup and a single now. I can honestly say both have their ups and downs to each their own, right?? My car is paid for and it leaves me with a great hobby and platform to boot in my spare time.. The top turbo kit (in my opinion may not be the best but when you say best what exactly are you referring too?). Ever felt 700wtq coming on hard?? lol
In the end we all drive the same car and love doing what we do with it so who gives a @#$%^!!!! lol Last edited by COSMO; 03-20-2016 at 12:14 PM. |

My Z was paid cash when I bought her too. But I would kick myself in the *** if I threw the same amount of money as the rest of these guys just to see what works and what doesn't. That's where a little research comes into play. I have a boosted Z that I haven't touched in months. I start it up once in a while but that's it. I find my bike a little bit more fun and faster then just about every single Z on here but that's just me and what I like. I have learned on my quest for speed that nothing will out accelerate a bike for the money and reliablity.

Right on man, love bikes. Actually I used to race yamaha's (R1's and R6's) about 7 years ago mainly on the southern tracks like Barber's and Road ATL, Jenning's JP. Got out of that but still wanted something for speed and really cool so I bought a 350z and built anf tt'ed that. Do you remember that old APS TT kit? Also what kind of bike do you have?
Btw I actually loved my gtm tt kit before the exhaust manifold cracked... lol Last edited by COSMO; 03-21-2016 at 03:50 AM. |
