That was just how much it spiked to. On pump, we saw 19 to 19.5psi of boost at redline.

No alky or meth injection on my car.

 

These are good questions

The laws of physics can be pushed, nudged, and bent to their limits - but NO ONE can defy the laws of nature

A stock turbo only flows a certain amount of air ang given a certian fuel, air flow and weight the results will not deviate beyond the limitations of the few parameters we can adjust

 

Mike....why keep the stock exhaust but then gut the car?

 

The car is not "gutted" in my opinion - there is nothing which he has done to the car which can not be snapped back in or bolted back on in an afternoon

He still retains, BTW - full a/c, heat, radio, stock wheels, front strut bar, etc etc etc

From what I could gather most of the stuff he has removed is fairly light things like plastic door panels, etc

 

Oh....so he pulls this stuff out only for track visits.

Nice job on the tuning AND driving. That was nearly a 1.5X short time. Oh and thank mother nature for the 49* temps too!

 

I think he just leaves the stuff off

Back in the day I used to have my daily driver WRX in full street mode with baby seat - then strip out all seats and carpet on Friday - go to the track Sat am and then put it all back in Sunday

I think this guy just leaves it out all the time

Kind of like a Evo RS only with a bit less

 

Hey guys,

When I input my weight (3140lbs) and trap speed (116.79) into an online horsepower calculator which has proven to be reliable and consistent in the past, I come up with 390HP at the wheels. I did 360whp on the Dyno Dynamics on pump gas and we all know this dyno reads lower than a Dynojet. So in other words, the calculator was more or less accurate. Not scientific or perfect, but it's pretty damn close.

Then I inputted TTP Engineering's numbers: 3375lbs and 127.62mph. I came up with 547whp. Does anyone know how on earth they were able to do this with a stock turbo? My car is pretty well maxed out right now with the stock turbo, yet according to the numbers, they are putting down 150+whp more than me. Unless that was with nitrous, I'm really confused here.

 

I'd like to know too

 

For a few different reasons. For one, it makes the car look more like a sleeper from the outside. Yesterday after I got tuned, there were a few kids with an Evo 9 outside in the parking lot and I heard them mumbling something to eachother about my car still having a stock exhaust.

Second, it's extremely quiet and with the stock cat, it passes inspection with flying colors. I also think with my car being black, having a stock appearing exhaust system, and no wing, I don't draw as much unwanted attention from cops as say other Evos in flashier colors (yellow, blue, etc.) with aftermarket exhausts and wings.

Lastly, I was able to save quite a bit of money with my current exhaust setup since QTP sponsored me with their downpipe and electric cutout. That's a good $500-$1000 I saved since that's the average that an aftermarket turboback system goes for.

 

Only Curt Brown is allowed to do that right?

 

He must be running the "correct combo" of parts

 

Nice numbers! Can't wait to start modding my Evo IX!

Keep up the good work Al!

 

IF you closely examined Mr. Brown's car when he is at the track set to run it you would discover WHY his car is running the times it is running

 

IMHO - it is hard to argue with an informed and inteligent man who is backed up with irrefuatable LAWS ofd physical nature

 

TTP ran nitrous.

So 90% of the time you are running a corked up exhaust. How does that work with a tune for a dump? I mean there must be times that you get on it but don't open the dump. I would think that would be somewhat harmfull.

Not sure if I'm making myself clear. You have a flash for WOT that is tuned for a dump. I would suspect it tuned for quick spool, high flow exhaust, ect. When the gate is closed and the exhaust is routed to the stock stuff isnt the tune out of whack?
