whoever it is on this board with the black GTI with huge FMIC ... i have to say, i love your car, that shit was so clean and to put down 355 then 388, i was very impressed ...

 

yeah good shit man! liked it.

 

hahahaha alright we will see cause i put down 210 when i got it tuned and i have sooooo much more to do to that engine before the next time so you better have something better than that 215ish next time.......

 

how the fuck did you pull that much torque outta that motor??
looks like i got some heavy ass competition.....good shit

 

beware of the K series...i get deployed again so monster K series motor is on its way..im shooting for 250whp N/A will have it by the summer time

 

here's what i think about K series:

D series owns you all

now back on topic, who had the most HP at the dyno shootout?

 

Wells (sp?) Supra. 627 i think

 

thats me... only good for second place tho!!!!! lol
stock from oilpan to valve cover... im happy with it... only managed 380wheel at the hole shot shootout... good for 3rd or 4th... all on pump gas 19-20psi and mild timing 8-12º advanced.
thanks for the posi remark... makes me feel good!

 

i have a question....why aren't there more 1.8T's making the power you make?

 

well... it will cost a pretty penny to get a manfold made and to source the products... for instance: a company called apr makes a bolt on turbo kit for the 1.8t... it utilizes a gt25 ceramic ball bearing garrett snail. the kit will run you about 5200-5300 dollarsa shipped... then most wont know how to install it so add some installation charges from the local rip off shop. parts for hondas and what not are a dime a dozen... the company apr will not sell the manifold seperate or the software or anythign, you HAVE to by the whole kit... its just hard to source the parts... most everything on my car was made or fabbed in house literally, either in my garage or marks garage and we used jackstands, no lift, no nothing, back yard tuning at its finest!!! lol





ive got about 3k max invested into the setup... its all about being creative...
890 bucks for programing at 750 for the fmic setup, 600 for the turbo... and thats the brunt of the setup... thats about 2500 right there... the other bit was ... the 3" turbo back(made in house by stepper) , wastegate, manifold, turbo inlet pipe, gaskets oil feed and return lines, and other various knick knacks... yeah the car comes from the factory with a turbo... but its ridiculous how tinny that thing is... its not as simple as slapping a turbo in place of the stocker and rolling with it.

one more final edit:::
here is a picture of the stocker next to the t3t04e. its pathetic really... i promise!!! and also i didnt pay retail for anything... but for the average joe blow that wants to build up his 1.8t programing will run about 890 bucks i payed about 430 for the same programing.
