Hoping to have the majority of this done this weekend. We have, in theory every single part we need. Other than squeezing in a tune for a military guy that only has 1 weekend pass for several months, I will be devoting all my time this weekend to the kit. We also have some new alternatives to PPG gears we are going to start carrying here in the next couple months. They are cheaper and supposedly rated at 600 awhp!
Lol, yeah we are actually talking with them now, begging them to come out with a longer ratio gearset and even offering to test them.
I don't see how cryo treating can take them from a rated power of 350 to 600. Are you getting confused with the new straight cuts they have coming out?
This is the pro series. Straight cut, yes. They supposedly have them on a 950 hp drag car currently and holding fine even without cryo. The other gears, the close ratio after cryo are supposed to handle around 450 at the wheels.
Get you an 07 6 speed Oh Mike did you see this thread? That FMIC end tank has me very puzzled. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1516428&highlight=s256
Just as strong if not stronger due to longer ratios. My 4th gears winds out to 120 mph You can upgrade your 04 gears into a 07 I believe.
Don't launch it all the time and you will be fine. You will break a shift fork before you break the gears.
That is my understanding as well. I am sure Andy could build the tranny with 07 gears if it can be done. Yeah saw the thread, that guy made 400 whp with a leaky end tank and leaking boost like crazy...never heard much from him after they fixed it, but those end tanks were just ugly on a front mount that looks like it belongs more on a diesel truck.
Yeah those end tanks were in no way efficient. Zig zagged and then made a complete turn into the FMIC only to do it again at the other end. I just shake my head at this.
I guess they stated it was for some kind of clearance issue...but it seems like it would have negated any benifit they gained by shortening the intake tract by all those bends that the air had to take....and sharp bends too, not even rounded...I dunno. Can't speak for what they had in mind on that one.
thanks. that eases my mind a bit. I will be racing it but not launching. kinda just rolling off the line for now
i am still on r160, stock wrx axles, and hubs.... . I got life time warranty on the axles tho, break em, take em back, and tadaaa new ones lol. 07 6spd or just post up to trade your 6spd for a ppg 5spd.
Those are not very impressive numbers for such a big build running on E85. What's up with the super late spool??? I made almost that much HP on pump gas. I bet we get close to 500HP on race fuel.
Mike here is a suggestion just like I told Matt. Why don't you get a universal flange made that will fit both the 3 bolt headers and the 2 bolt headers? That way you make 1 kit that fits both applications? WBR did that. Here's a pic of the flange
So if he made mad power, why did he never update the thread? Seems like he found the problem and said he re-tuned the car but never put up any numbers. I still think the end tanks are retarded.
I am not sure what kind of power he made in the end to be honest. He just kind of disappeared. The end tanks just look like a failed design, but only he can answer for those. Maybe there was some unknown reason for the odd design. Here is a link to some of the test data that Bullseye has collected on their turbos. As for the flange, it is a simple matter of using one or the other. I really don't see the need to invest in a new flange system. For now we are going to be making these to order anyway, so we can always use one flange or the other at the time of the purchase. We would just need the request from the customer.
