My customers would hang me by something tender if I tried to tell them what to do with their payed for tune. <shrug>

Shiv-

Based upon what we were told from Precision Turbo was that the back housing flowed similarly to a .58 A/R in a Garrett. Possibly this is due to the divided housing used on their turbo. By the way, we're not saying that a ball bearing turbo is inferior to a standard 360 thrust bearing turbo, just that you can buy for half the price a comperable standard garrett turbo that will perform very well for most people.

QuantumEVO-

I'd like to clarify that we at SFP have absolutely no problem with any of our customers doing whatever they wish to do with their maps and are welcome to share them with whoever they wish. I think that we can agree that with tuning you either know how to do it or you don't. Although, we cannot devote all of our day answering tech questions and helping our customers out learning to use their AEM's, we take every opportunity to assist people, customers or not, with tuning both with AEM's and other management systems.

Our solution includes a tubular custom turbo manifold, Tial wastegate 38mm, turbocharger, install kit, downpipe and lower IC pipe for just about $2100.
Good for you! No reason to pay all that money for an HK$ turbo.

Divided housing? The 3037s I know of don't have divided housings. Are you sure we're talking about the same turbo? The signifant difference between the HKS housings and the Garret housings for the 3037 is that the HKS housing uses a T25 flange since they were originally designed to be straight bolt-on for their Skyline turbo upgrade kits.

My 2c,

Really, very interesting thread guys.
BTW good numbers there bud

South Florida performance huh? Great job guys. Ive used your manifolds in the past on many mazda projects. Good stuff and very knowledgable guys.

As far as the turbos go, we will have a similiar setup in our car soon.
Stage 5 T3 .58 A/R TO4 4 bolt discharge turbine housing.
TO4E 54 trim compressor. Care to comment on that match up?

We are also testing TWO different ECU's. AEM this coming week and Motec. We will post in the end of december all of our findings.
Also if i can add a small "ignorant" comment. I dont see where the big issue is with making 400+ HP on pump gas. Anyone care to comment on this. We have done this on many DSM's for years.

And quantum nice manifold bud!

Hi John,

First of all, congrats on the numbers. They sound great! Second of all, ignore Al

Just a couple of questions: At what RPM is peak hp reached in your set up. And how much of that power is there 1000rpm earlier.

The reason I'm asking is that on our Stage 2 customer car, we're making 430-440whp (AWD Dynojet #s) on race gas. But the problem is that we're seeing most of that hp as early as 6000rpm. And we're also running the bigger 0.82 housing on the 3037 so, all things equal, it should make peak power closer to redline. But after 6000rpm, power starts to level off quickly due to what looks like a flow limitation in the factory head which really isn't a surprise. The car is running 264/264 cams (as specified by the customer) with a stock motor. If porting the head and running the big 272 cams means that we can make this power on pump gas, it'll give the customer something to think about

Cheers,
shiv

Attached below is the last Dynojet run we did at ATP at the Works dyno day last weekend. We picked up some extra power since then but the shape of the graph shows you what I'm talking about. Plus, it's the only AWD Dynojet run I have of the car
Yes - ignore Al indeed - I don't know anything - thats why my car makes 50 more whp than Shivs with the same tuebo while spooling up 500 rpms sooner !

Congrats John. Can't wait to see the graphs posted. Best of luck with it.

Also although I respect all that Al has done, I think his comparing a race gas dyno number to a pump gas number makes no sense whatsoever.
I honestly have not even pressed ANY of my tuning maps on boost yet - but you can be sure when I return from my trip to Altlanta I will be doing some 93 octane dyno runs this week

Frankly - I just don't get it - the rich guy dumps $30,000 into his evo but dosen't want to run 100 octane which is $2.00 a gal more

Anyway - I am curious now how much power can be SAFELY made on 93 octane with my set up so next week we'll have some new numbers

a rich boy with money to dump in his car doesn't mean you know what you're talking about

it seems you are continuing your egotistical ways from the old i-club...yes, we are all aware you can sink a lot of cash into your car, that's great, good for you...whoopity-do-da...huzzah...joy

at least we can be fairly confident that when the next "in" car comes along you'll lose interest in the Evo just like you did the WRX and move on to harrass the new owners of that model

you are destroying what little reputation is left of your business and you are bringing down Pruven unfortunately in the process...if they were smart, they would disassociate themselves with you...if you were smart (which you have proven you are not) you would take a much more conservative, less egotistical attitude so as not to destroy your business...what's left of it anyway

Ditto - Quantum's manifold is a great looking unit

BTW - it should be more like what's the big deal making 400 whp on a $30,000 custom engine build up ????? How many $$'s is that per hp and was that part of the "plan" ???

Shiv remember that HKS .82 A/R is not a Garrett .82 A/R.. it's more like a .58 in a Garrett based on Franks calculations.

B Which was it Frank's calculations or Precision Turbo?????

Reason why I ask is becuase I have had the GT versions and the regular garret versions and they are very close

I promote my "business" by pumping out 450 - 480 whp on the same set up those guys are making 419 whp with - or in Shiv's case 400 - - and with a much broader power band and more spool up. If pointing out that we are making more whp with reflash technology is "egotistical" - then I guess I am "ecotistical"

I have nothing to do with Pruven other than renting a **** load of dyno time there and being a customer.

As you may notice Pruven does not make ANY posts on this forum. They do not participate in these postings in any manner.
