Not only did you get my numbers first, you also got the digital copy of my graph first! :bowrofl:

Vince did explain that to me... I forgot most of it until you mentioned it again. I should hire someone to record my conversations so I can play them back later to refresh my memory. :p

I'll send you my resume, if you could put "Driver" under list of job requirements that would be great too. :bowrofl:

Send it. I'll put it in the pile :bowrofl:

:mad:





:icon17:

Oh no, you can't pull that on me this time.

Vince posted the graph in your build thread. I just copied the link and pasted it here.. :)

:icon18:

I just found it. I'm blaming the forum, your thread showed first in my list of new threads. I'll let it go this time. :icon17:

VVEL is the reason for the drop in boost not the EBC. There is more valve overlap tuned into the car for higher RPM NA power, if the VVEL were retuned you could increase power by limiting boost loss. The problem is actually two part, loss of FI effeciency on the intake side due to overlap which in turn slightly effects thermal efficiency of the exhaust from the cooler air (boost).

Most 2JZ's are cammed with turbo specs to increase high RPM power but will not make the low end as the VQ. Once VVEL is perfected we will see the same results (top end) if not better than the 2JZ.

Congrats Sasha glad to see your kit doing well ,and nice to see you get some recognition for you kit.:tup:

Here's a video I made of it on the dyno,

Congrats, great numbers! I can't to join the FI fraternity....:tup:

All tacked up ready for welding:

And throught the magic of internet...all welded up:

The manifolds are the most time consuming, but they are almost done now.

All the post intercooler piping arrived today as well. Will be working on that soon, so it can be sent out for finishing.

Update? :eekdance:

It's going to be at least mid July or August.:inoutroflpuke: I'm willing to bet you guys get your kits WAY before I do. Going to be sweet with the fleet of FI cars.

I have had some unexpected stuff come up recently so the kit have been moving along slowly. My wife and kids are going to Disneyland on Friday for 10 days, so I hope to catch up during that time. The hard part (manifolds) are almost done though.

Some testing was also done this past weekend on a customers car. A turbine housing was drilled and tapped to see what the exhaust back pressures are like with the 1.15 a/r housing. Things looked great, prooving that this (1.15 a/r) turbine is a great match for a stock block, and a built block for those who would be looking at 600whp+. I would still opt for the 1.32 a/r on a built block, but the 1.15 would also do well.

This customer made 530whp/430ft/tq at 10psi of boost.
