oh boy......just like your RFL bov, where you told other people to make sure they DON USE A TURBOXS RFL BOV!!!

130 something? still a lot less then what I would expect with a pulley and piggyback...at least for the money.

i still have not found a reason as to why you wont post vids or pics or anything here......

Anyone know what happend to that girl that Frank apparently hooked up with a turbo???

yitzac1990- go look at lancertuners.com.... There are people on here that will slam everything a person posts..... so it is safer on some other websites to get good postive feedback (both pros and cons) without being a d-bag. No reason for you to start such a fight without going to look for it. I don't see why you are getting so defensive and pissed. You are 19? To early for a heart attack.... Just chill and give credit where its due to each and hope your car will be better when its done. Don't hate on people when they are better as of now.... When your car somes out, be humble because there are and will be faster cars......

Just my 2 cents to help stop any douchebaggery from anyone reading this post....
No offsence intended to anyone from this post. I just want to help make this cool off a bit and just put up cold hard facts that aren't punches, but helpful....

the girl was fired a while back for some reasons that are undisclosed. her car WAS turboed, but not tuned and only at like 2 pounds.

i did look at lancertuners but found NO videos at all. and i wont slam anything, I would only state my opinion and give thanks for posting vids!!! im getting so defensive because now that serious has a turbo, he is disowning everything else. yes, xtremeboost is taking a while but think of the tortoise and the hare; better to be slow and steady (in production). i know he is better than me now (in performance), but he doesnt have to be cocky about it. i know my car WILL be better, but im not expecting to beat Evos and IS350s i just want to be a lot faster than I am right now.

thanks for the input, too

and idc what people would think, i always post things on this forum. i know that when i have the turbo and post videos, Serious will get shot down by everyone on this forum paying attention to this thread because PEOPLE WANT VIDEOS! and I WILL DELIVER! I am planning on having my camera with me when i pick up my car and drive home (an hour from Franks shop) and taking vids of the inside of the car on the way home

How do you figure? With an average of 20% drivetrain lose do the math. Thats over 30 hp lost from the crank. That puts the car stock in my area and dyno at about 122 to the wheels. If you must know the 3rd gear dyno pull was 136.9. thats an increase of 15 whp from a piggyback and pulley.

Reason for not posting videos: Check my thread that has the pics. There is about 3 full pages of people doing nothing but putting down the design of the kit. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. The kit makes me happy and others that have driven my car love it. I build and tune this car for me and me alone. Not you or anyone else on this site.

And no the videos are NOT on lancertuners.com either.

And how many times do I have to say I beat the driver of the Lexus, not the car.

I'll be sure to watch your thread too just for ****s and giggles....

just to get the kit up and running and make sure everything works perfect before they go ahead and turn it up and tune it....

ok well thanks for clarifying the NEW whp. that means you have about 171 at the crank, and thats very good! i was just saying that i am amazed at how much more whp I got with my custom catback....lol

i have seen the other thread, and yes a lot of people are bashing the design of the HEADER, but they are not bashing you! we just want to see videos so people know how the kit really performs, etc. i dont want YOUR kit to make ME happy, I just want to see what to expect from RRMs kit.

videoooooooo!!!!

"this kit" is nonexistant at this point. There isn't even a price, how can you go about saying this? The price that was quoted a year ago?!?! There hasn't even been a real running kit yet.

yea, they pop in every couple of months. They really don't focus too much on the lancers. It's really a shame, they probably think no one will buy the kit so they dont put too much time or energy into it or make it a priority, but because its taking them so long they missed out on close to 12 sales. I'm not sure how much profit margin is on these kits, but that would have been $51,600 they could have had. I would say that would have been enough to keep the shop running smoothly for a few months, especially since most of the hard work is done already. They created the manifold, had the kit up and running, why not just finish it off?

i keep telling Frank this same thing, but he has "other priorities" with people who he cant lose business with either. Frank already has people that want to buy the kit, mostly local.
