Matt has been working hard over the last year to break 500whp on his combo. Currently he is running a pump meth car with an FP Red, GSC VIII 272s (predating the S2s), PTE880s, Nisei FMIC with ETS Magnus piping, Magnus cast intake, Boomba 75mm TB and 1.0mm Aquamist Meth kit (about 900cc). A Buschur Racing 3" TBE rounds out the mods and the tune is an SD conversion tuned by us.

Well it took a few whacks at a different boost controllers and finally going back to a simple stock actuator and Hallman MBC but the results were well worth it-

 

Nice! Congrats. Stock actuator? Why not a Forge?

 

Aaron, do you think the stock actuator keeps the spikes down to let the boost controller actually do its job, or did you guy preload the **** out of it?

 

Yes, stock WGA. The Forge didn't like the my 80mm Red?

 

very pretty power curve!

 

Nice power Aaron and awesome boost curve

 

The car wouldnt boost consistently with any of the actuators other than stock. The Forge WGA and MBC are now desk ornaments. No additional preload to get it boost as is.

Great work JB! Very Nice looking powerband! Congrats to the OP.

 

Maybe I missed it but the Red wasn't running the FP 18psi wg actuator?

 

Looks like a smooth curve!! 500 must be quite exciting!

 

Great Job!

 

Great job Aaron.. How well does the magnus work over a ported stock IM? Just wondering cause i think that's what's holding me back..

Great lookin power curve and nice TQ. Is it stock block?

 

Yes, Stock head,pistons,rods,rod bolts. Only thing done in the motor is (old GSC) cams and ARP head studs.

If you want to get more **safely** out of your Red. Should do drop in's or a motor job.

 

hmm im building about the same setup hope my outcome is the same

i have the same question as above tho do you think the manifold helped out more then a ported oem would?

 

Magnus V5 is not the best bang for buck mod, but from tons of research yes, it is way better through out the power band than a ported stocker. {B^>
