Wow. It looks soooooo close. That charge piping flows beautifully. This thing is gonna make some seeeerious power.

 

Isn't that throttle placement going to overfill cyl 3-4 and starve cyl 1-2 / 5-6 - especially under high boost?

 

no

 

So close, I can't wait . So what kinda of clutch are you planing on runing? Thing is going to rip hard.

 

I have had great experiences with the AEM system on forced induction BMWs previously..I did not have it control any nitrous however so could not speak to that. What are you planning for the air intake on the turbo? Some sort of cold air box or piping into the fender-well I assume. Nice straight shot on the IC pipes to the turbo and TB..looks like it should flow very well.

 

FWIW.
I´ve worked with DTA on numerous occasions,and it indeed works very very well as you get comfortable with the "ad-on" fueling needed for boost.
(Building the maps is a little backwards for the lack of better words,and you basicaly do so in numerical mode)

Allen that runs DTA is a very knowledgable guy as well as helpful,so expect full support in every meaning of the word.
The man really knows his ----.

I personaly run the swedish originating VEMS,and the main reason for that-again-is the support I get as i know the developer of the "afresh board" well.(Support as in development to be honest-all the latest Beta crap aso)

Those two....and then it goes upscale in my opinion,where Motec wins all the marbles-but that´s just me.
Motecs support is downright out of this world.
Worked on an EVO9 just recently,ran into trouble(car came in on a trailer as a no-go) and wrote Motec same night.
When i woke up the next morning i had mail from Motec aussie...PDF,direct contact number aso...right off the bat.
But...you pay for it

Please dont get me wrong,but why the juice with that setup for a turbo system?
What do you expect it to bring,or is it mainly to shut people in general the ---- up and mainly for show?

 

Btw.
Credit where credit is due.
Altho i loathe the chinchong meow coolers(when power starts to rocket,they in essence suck hairy mamoth *****)...nice welds on the charge piping.I for one know what it takes when swinging the TIG

If you later on start investigating the effects of intercooler end tank layout instead of that asian crap setup you´ll become ------- amazed of the differences in behaviour as well as logged IAT numbers aso as that plant WILL strain the efficiency of that cooler...but that´s another story.

 

Thanks - yeah DTA seems hot.

The nitrous is not for show - its all business. 250 hp direct port progressive on top of 30 psi. The car will have 0 lag with nitrous and will probably put everyone behind it. That's the goal.

The intercooler works fairly well I have a friend with it on his truck. On top of the air/air intercooler I have nitrous for cooling and direct port methanol injection as well.

 

The OLD DTA box was a pile of ----, is the new stuff better?

 

Updates - just picked up the car








Going to powder coat the piping tomorrow and then finish working on some other stuffs
