This is a commuter and my wife's commuter at that. I'm fine with the power that the car has now. This car was simply not designed for big power. From the small radiator to the small differential, everything on the car was designed to cut costs, save weight and provide a value "sports car" that handles really well. I'm not interested in finding and replacing the week links.
As I've stated, at my altitude the compressor wheel is already running out of breath, there isn't much envelope left for improved efficiency. I'm running 21/22 PSI with the stock tune. Just as your computer limits boost at sea level to stay at 295Ib' of torque, mine has to run more just to get to the stock levels. The positive side to that is that the car is significantly faster than a naturally aspirated V6 which can loose 30-40% power on a hot day up here in Utah. I'm okay being faster than most things on the road. I'll continue to watch for good tunes and maybe a better Mitsubishi/Garrett turbo in the future. For now, I'll install the intermediate intake pipe for noise, and a catch can to keep those intake valves clean. ZZP seems to be great to work with. I'll pick up that downpipe I'm sure too. Maybe, maybe after I've invested in a good set of 19" wheels, I'll throw down the money at a tune. |

well said, every word. At sea level we have the benefit of accessing boost reserve with demand tweaks and make some burnouts. will be nice to see how your builds go.

Listen, I get it me and you aren't on cloud 9 anymore. I'm not bashing your product and people are to heavily invested to say anything. Your customer service has always been top notch across all platforms I've had your products on. I haven't had any issues with your product it's done admirably and i'm very satisfied with it, so come down off it. The simple fact is it was an observation post from a few ramblings I've heard nothing more we both know people don't like to be mentioned because let's face it the days of my social media status mattering are here for the snowflakes. Nothing about my post said don't buy this in fact I said it does exactly what it's suppose to do. I did say like catch cans in cooler climates it may require a little more "Hey maybe I should check that soon just to make sure." You yourself even recommended making sure it's properly lubricated on the piston that's not a mechanical oversight shit dries out or get's lost overtime the piece is a high psi product constantly used and in a high heat area. Can we bury the hatchet already and move on?

seems like built burn out you guys. everyone should just take a deep breath. I am just suggesting that tone sets whether its a friendly place to virtually hang out. We're trying here. yeah no one wants to look like a screw up, but we've all screwed up. admit it and move on. After wading through all the "I bought and I'm gonna", with no followup, consider yourselves the few main stays here that most people will get the most of their info from. That should be "good enough".
* smoked my clutch launching from 2nd the other night. broke 2 sensor connectors. paid way too much for a bolt on exhaust. etc. etc.. but live and learn that's why were here. |

I wont say too much, but I will say this about the BNR/JacFab Boost-o-lator for anyone who cares to read. This is another forum members car I did recently with a bone stock turbo, and I can say without a doubt, I could not hold this much boost, this linear, at these speeds, without the valve. No question about it.

well torque is sensor and hp can be done 2 ways, by 1-1: 5252 divisor and also derived from displacement, map, maf and rpm. its just physics. its not a mystical number. I've repeated mine with complete accuracy lots of times. I just... like are you gonna run that in the arctic circle or WHAT? Dude HEAT! come on now.... Show us those EGTs and injector temps.

Ethanol (E85) has almost a 3X higher heat of evaporation over gasoline, raising volumetric efficiency dramatically.
