*****Fast Intentions Twin Turbo: OFFICIAL REVIEW THREAD*****

[Plasmite]

No want that much HP unless I rebuild. Which is possible in the future, definitely not now.

And I live in Canada, where we still kill dinosaurs for fuel.

Hot weather update!

86 degrees today, took the car for about 100 miles....NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM.

Hot starts? Not an issue!

Water Temp? Nice and cool!

Oil temp? Never above 200!

Boost? still hitting 12+psi with little throttle, peak boost was 12.5 with little to no lag, just as it was the day I drove it home on my high boost curve!

My IATs were about 10-14 degrees above ambient.

The car did not really feel slower at all, it felt just as fast, especially with the drag radials responding incredibly to the hot roads. I drove from San Jose, to Milbrae and back on the 280...man it felt good. I got my money's worth today. This thing is insane! There is no stopping it!

I currently run Husky 94 AKI Octane

Definitely

I guess it depends on turbo selection and supporting parts

I don't see why that isn't possible. He said HP, not WHP. And E85 isn't as widespread as most people think.

[elperuano]

Huh? We don't use BHP here we only use WHP. And exactly why i think it's a good idea for the e85 guys to make note of that otherwise everyone's gonna think they can make 600hp on pump 93 on a stock block safely. I Know e85 makes magic kinda numbers

e85 is great and all. But a great kit makes a world of a difference...give credit where it's due

I dont think anyone imagined that gt2860s would be capable of an easy 700+hp(seriously) with just e85 and a build block, even with a punitive 2.5" exhaust.

ANyhow, back to my quest for 1000s....

[elperuano]

I've always said the FI kit is by far the best twin turbo option out. Plenty of credit has been given. Just helping a potential customer for their kit to not be let down when they have no e85 option close to them and can only use pump 93 or 91.

Good luck on 1k hp!

Amen brotha....

One thing about Tony, he won't blow smoke up your ***. He will give you an honest estimation on price and power.

GT2860's are rated to a max 360hp aren't they? Pushing 700hp with one per cylinder bank is definitely possible but they are getting pretty maxed out at that point.

Actually that max 360hp would be bhp wouldn't it? Considering that each one only has 1.85 litres of displacement driving it just goes to show how efficient the FI kit is!!

There is how much power most the tuning industry says a specific turbo is capable of producing... and there is how much HP a turbo is capable of making with 11:1 compression, with VQ cylinder heads, and further increases in dynamic compression from using E85.

Whatever performance the turbos are "known" for making... we are going to blow away.

I checked and the 360hp max is listed on the Garrett website. Where they come up with there numbers, who knows.

Has anyone ever seen higher numbers than 650-700hp from twin GT28rs's? Everything that I have ever read says that 500-600 is what most people are happy with but then that is usually on smaller engines (RB's, 1JZ's & 2JZ's).

What turbo's do the high HP R35 guys run on the VR38's?

Yes, keep in mind that is per turbo so 2x 360HP is 720HP. I'm sure you knew that but throwing that out there just in case someone gets confused. We've done 720 whp on a VG30DETT with the GT2860RS turbos. This however was having to make close to 30 psi of boost. On the VHR engine it won't take anywhere near as much, we've done 630 whp on about 13 psi of boost so the turbo (GT2860RS) on the VHR *should* run out of steam around 18-20 psi. This is all in theory since we haven't taken this turbo this high on these engines (stock). Highest so far on 3071Rs was about 25 psi on a built lower compression engine (tturbo370z) which produced 800whp, however this turbo combo was slightly mismatched as it still used a T04B housing and "tiny" .64 AR turbine housing (T25).

I have not seen any R35 GTR's with a GT2860rs turbo's its just not a good turbo for high boost 18 plus PSI. I have seen them run GTX 2867 and HTA 2868 turbos on those cars.

Hey guys (and girls? )

Thought I would pop in here with a bit of an update.

I put the kit through a bit of a torture test this weekend at Road Atlanta with Global Time Attack.

Two days of absolutely thrashing the **** out of it. Two sessions were in 90+ degree heat with high humidity.

...And it didn't miss a beat. Ran like a top. I have to admit, beforehand I was concerned with what oil and water temps I would see, but it never broke a sweat. Oil never got over 220ish, and water was never above the middle of the range. As background, I have the Mishi rad and FI 34 row oil cooler.

Anyway long story short: I had a blast. The car absolutely hauled ***, and behaved perfectly. I spent most of the time getting accustomed to all the additional power, trying to find the limits, and building confidence. I definitely need more aero now. Coming down the back stretch at 170ish, the rear is seriously squirrely under braking. I ran with the same RE11's that I've had on the car for some time. They have 20+ heat cycles, so they are definitely past it, but I was still pleasantly pleased with overall traction and balance. Still relatively neutral. Can't say enough good things about the OS giken lsd, although the fluid was totally cooked when I changed it yesterday.

One session was in the wet and that was...interesting? Terrifying? Given you can make it step out rather easily in the dry, it was a handful in the wet. Turn 12 was definitely a "pucker" moment for sure.

I put together a quick clip for you're viewing/listening pleasure. Still waiting on my buddy's to get my some outside-the-car video. We took 2 photo/video guys with us, so should have some good footage.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Wow! Sweet ride n video! Sounds amazing!
