Hey Bernardo,

We are on similar paths .... (But you are ahead of me )

I still need to do the TBE, but want to do it and the same time as CAMS so I can avoid continual refalshes and $$.

I have been wondering if I should do ALKY at the same time, but am concerned that now we are really pushing the car and will start having wear and tear issues -- tranny, clutch, engine...

I would guess that you could get real close to 400 whp with the cams and w/o the ALKY. The question is, does anyone have engineering specs on transmission design and torque capacity? I don't want to start having transmission, clutch, or engine problems as my IX is a daily driver....

 

You can't add horsepower like you are doing, it doesn't work like that.

I have the setup you are looking to do, and I didn't make 400whp on my first tune. I believe my intake cam is off timing BIG TIME. My horespower numbers and torque numbers should be much higher.

I'm at 30psi and only made 373/400 on my setup. Once I get a retune (need to save money) I will post my results. My suggestion is not to goto Dynoflash if you are getting an intake cam, because Al doesn't know **** about tuning it.

I will be going to Turbo Trix because they made the cam, and they know what the hell they are doing.

Any more questions feel free to ask.

On another note, I'm on stock clutch/tranny and only have headstuds. I drive the car hard at times and I have no problems. I have never launched the car, nor will I even attempt to without getting a clutch.

 

Are you trying to set some kind of stock turbo record or something? Sounds like you'll be pushing the turbo outside of its effecient range. That would mean less "good" air. I think you are asking for trouble. with a stock bottom.

 

This is what you said on the thread starter to me and everyone else it is very clear what you said. You are at 360whp now with those set of mods. Then you claim to be around 400whp which is a 40whp increase with just addiing a 02housing and arp studs.

Headstuds or no headstuds you WONT be at 400whp with just adding the 02housing.

 

To be fair...he said o2 housing, arp studs AND alky...

 

He also said alky witch means he probably plans on turning the boost up to 28-30

 

You beat me to it.

 

Again I dont know how many times I or other people have to say it. Alky doesnt give you more hp it just allows you to be able to boost more safely. So again the alky, the housing, and the studs wouldnt give him 40more whp. Period.

Now with the addition to those mods and with a great tune by Al @ 25psi on race gas you would see close to 400whp. MAYBE

 

He said ALKY and thats exactly what he means by it. Turning up the boost with a tune.

 

Why would you turn the boost to 30? Thats way out of its efficiency range. You may see it peak to 30 for a brief second but 25psi is the max for the stock 9 turbo. Please search people

 

people are taking there stock 9 turbos to 28 even though it may be out of its range but they are still doing it for numbers. I dont have to research to know that

 

I have been thinkin the same thing as well...As of now i have:

AMS TBE
FORGE MBC
INTAKE(CONE+ADAPTER)
BUSCHUR ALKY INJECTION
WALBRO 255 FUEL PUMP
custom tune

with those mods i made 379hp 371tq

so now im thinkin as well if i add the hks 272's where would i be at im also boosting at 25 im not taking a chance ****in the turbo with 30psi they tuned it at 25-26..If i do add the hks cam i wil also be putting head studs in as well but as far as anything else a clutch would be the next step...I only launched the car one time so im tryin to save the clutch for awhile but i dont know how long it will last...

some people are beating him up cuz of this thread but still the point how much can our motors take be4 they blow

 

Well then they are retarded. I know they do that and its ludacrous. Thats like me takingmy stocker up to 45 just to say it for numbers, but its going to blow in about 2 minutes. I mean if thats what you are seraching then I call dibs on your t-case.

I would search meaningful info not retarded info. If you like going out of your turbos efficiency range then by all means turn the boost up to 100 while your at it.

 

Yes however, tuning is the key here. You can slap on all the best parts in the world but if its not tuned correctly they dont mean anything.

Alot of peopel are running similar setups with the same approximate hp.

 

my bottom end had 15 pulls on the dyno putting out 512 at 28 lbs and c16. Not the stock turbo though
