Update:
Just talked to Sam and the car is finished! Heading to the airport in an hour and am picking it up tomorrow morning. A couple of issues came up: 1. The Kinetix Intake Plenum has proved to perform just like the old ones for the vq35's - like crap. The TQ curve peaked then fell off and was causing some other driveability issues - Put the stock plenum back on and all is good. 2. The Synchronic BOV's that I wanted to try out were causing problems with the MAF readings at idle - I had them put on the tried and true Tial's. 3. The car PC monitoring system that Sam wanted to try out ended up not working. His install guy left mid project, so he intstalled the Blitz system. I will run with it untill something better comes out. The numbers were good with the above stuff on there (500hp, 450tq), but will be on the dyno today with the stock plenum and tials on and improve on those numbers. I will be driving back through vegas then back up through Utah and Idaho this weekend and let you all know how it does. Can't wait until the morning - feels like Christmas!! |

Nice! As I suspected on the intake mani, though...
Did they try the SB001.5A anti-stall valve kit on your Synchronic BOV's? I don't have any direct experience, but they're supposed to help with idle on VTA MAF-based setups.

10.5-11psi.
It got colder in Oregon and north on the drive back. It pulls alot harder in 60 degree weather and the temps are nice and low. The intercooler seems to be very efficient as the IAT's are about 10 degrees over ambient after 3 good pulls. Oil temp hovered around 180-200. |

Sounds good man. Can't wait until I have the money for a TT setup.
I think they're priced about right, but priced out of my league at the moment.

lol Lou, I knew you'd have something to say.
I like(d) them as well, but it's common-accepted truth that they're not healthy for high-volume turbochargers or even some stockers - they cause unnecessary compressor surge/flutter in some applications, and quite often leak under high boost. 2 SSQV's is actually a really good setup to eliminate flutter and surge (plus it sounds bad ***), but I'd still rather have something else if I were parting together a kit. My point is: Synapse Synchronic BOV's are indeed legit. I wouldn't call them an HKS knock off at all.
