I am so impressed with this turbo and cams from Forced Performance I had to post up here in the dyno section. It is an off the shelf HTA Green w/ 84MM cover. I built this car to be the perfect daily and it is just that. These numbers are on straight 93 octane and a very conservative tune at 11.5 AFR's. No ported intake mani and no 65mm tb. The car has basic bolt ons including the new FP4R cams and Toxicfab tubular mani. Numbers speak for themselves.

First off, thanks to Mike and the AWD crew. Super nice guys and really enjoyed the day. Mike lent me the dyno and we played quite a bit on it. Derek did an amazing job getting this thing tuned. Not one hiccup. Power is smooth and strong.




Now for the good stuff. Look at the whp at 8K rpms. It feels amazing.


And for fun, Lana on stock turbo and E85. Its amazing the difference E85 makes. But a perfect example of E85 syndrome is when I pulled into the gas station to get gas and head home the E85 pump was closed. I would've been screwed if I was on E85

looks like a really fun daily- your projects are always top notch

Sounds like an awesome setup and probably an absolute blast to drive around in daily...

Great numbers Brian! Looks like that thing is a ton of fun to drive!

Thanks brian, yeah like ive said, every once in a while i miss my green. If it was tuned like yours d still have it thanks for the results!

congrats again Brian.. I never thought id like green on black.. but it is definitely a badass color combination theme wise.

i pretty much have the same mods except

Megaon Manifold
HKS 272 cams
Different brand names on everything though.

no LICP???

and are the headstuds a NEED?

Looks like a great setup and some great power. How do those cams compare to GSC-S2's?

Yes the car has a Buschur lower pipe. And the headstuds are cheap insurance. Basically a $200 insurance policy. I wouldn't push a motor without them. I'm sure some engine builders can chime in at what point it is a must. But I like doing them right off the bat so I don't need to worry about it.

I can't give a direct comparison ad I haven't tested them back to back. All I can say is I love the power curve and these fp4r's are awesome. I had a set of s1's and they were horrible. I pulled them out to install some m3's back in the day and they were extremely pitted with sizable air pockets in the grinds.
