Cry harder kid. You spent all that money to be slower than a bolt-on R. Now your little napoleon complex has you saying dumbshit vs anything relevant to the actual thread. The R365 is the more reliable drop in vs the other choices hes considering. It will also be a better match for his driving...
Go back and read slow boy - I said I make my power on an R660/7xx - never said a dinky L15 would make anything close to that
Take the sand out of your vag as no one was even talking to you. You have reading comprehension issues you should work on.
Go with RV6 R365 Red turbo
I made 601whp with my R660 and 687whp with my R7XX
RV6 Turbos have been rock solid and take a beating at 32-35psi for years.
The drop in route makes the most sense for guys who slowly upgrade over time - the full kits are less money apples to apples but more...
Ethanol is a bit of a pain but can be ordered in 55 gallon drums delivered to the house if you really want to use it.
Meth is a cheap alternative and can offser similar power numbers very easily.
93 is pretty good - 92 isnt bad either. Unless your trying to squeeze a ton of power out of...
Replaced my 2.5 yr old Xdi hpfp that failed with a new one
Was able to limp home but not thrilled about the cost lol
New pump works great - fresh plugs have the car smooth again. Valve adjustment and fresh torco engine oil next week to quiet her down.
Will update this with rebuild cost once...
Stock fk8 clutch and fly are butter a d good for 550who/450wtq - no need to fix what isnt broken. I daily drive an FX400 clutch and while I need it, i wish i still had the stock clutch lol. Flywheel is a minor issue but lighter is ideal in certain track uses. Keeping it simple and oem unless...
Get a new tuner - sounds fuel pressure related
The only time my car ever sputtered was when my injector got clogged wide open and spit raw fuel out the tailpipe lol.
Crap from the oem fuel filter went forward and stuck the injector open. Luckily no damage other than new set of 1400s i bought...
The smaller cores become a restriction and tend to heat soak on back to back hits the more power you make. Just keep an eye on your IATs - on ethanol things should stay cool. E adds a nice layer of safety - i dont trust 91 pump lol
500ish is fun and surprisingly manageable given the turbo...
Keep the stock clutch - mine held 490wtq for a little while before the pressure plate went too soft on me. At 430-450ish torque stock is fine - just be careful on the boost ramp so it doesnt slip and youll be fine.
Hopefully you have a mishimoto intercooler - the smaller PRL/HKS etc ones are...
Trans work is very tight tolerance work
The shift fork trimming is a pain in the ass but just part of the install. When they trimmed the forks for my ppg gears it was quite a process
This is what mine looked like before it was sealed.
For 400ish whp qll youll need is the upgraded hp line. The opening limits flow so once its opened up it can flow more without pulsing issues.
Skip the hondata stuff. Xdi and full race offer much better hpfps that have higher ceilings for direct injection only goals.
For a stock bottom...
i daily 687whp/512wtq on a stock bottom end.....ive done that to show these engines can be VERY reliable at lower power levels if you prepare for the power your trying to make.
400whp for these engines is nothing really....what is most dangerous is backpressure and torque below 4000rpm...
MHI for 400whp would be a waste
Keep stock turbo and add a bored/tapered hp fuel line with TR2 cams - youll make 400whp on 93 easily - youll also have the fastest spool for that power level - MHI would be slower spool as it has a larger hotside vs stock.
The cams also add power across the...
Says the broke kid with no insight into anything relevant to this thread
You project your weak financial standing on others which is comical
Keep reading about what others accomplish - its all you do anyway boy
You can use 91 for sure - i personally dont trust the octane quality of cali 91 as its locally been proven to act like 89 sometimes lol. Im not trusting my motor to such poor fuel given my tendency to beat the crap out of my car. I daily ny R too so i tend to go thru E every 2 days - tank is...
Johns data basically said the kels are a touch bigger and provided a little more off boost power which adds response to the larger turbos - the 550 and 660 wheels light up pretty fast the 770 and 900 not so much - the larger primary on the kels adds a little more meat in the mid range which pays...
