Whats to come!

[HuffRex]

Well I made it out to Xotic yesterday. Didn't tune the car because I still had race gas in my tank. Anyway talked things over with Andy and made our plan of action. I should be able to get this stuff on and tuned in the summer.

Deadbolt Superzilla SZ55 turbo
Modified WRX Injectors
Ebay TMIC
Bigger MAF Housing
and last but not least PPG Straight Cut 1-4 gearset

With all that said and done, I should have no problem hitting 400+whp on pump gas!

Why the TMIC?


OOh nice! Some gears sound good to strengthen the tranny.

What size are the injectors modified to? 700+?

[S4toSTI]

Alcohol.

Andy said he got his most power out of the Ebay TMIC! I've seen the modified wrx injectors go to 940cc across the board! I possibly will add alcohol injection to the list...it'll be expensive project nonetheless

Just in case we weren't all jealous already

aha, kidding. Gonna be a sick setup, congrats and good luck getting it together.

Thats a pretty big turbo for a 2l with a top mount. What are your goals with the car? Do you plan on doing a lot of drag racing? What about your tranny?

I want a 400whp car for mostly drag and some road course action. I want to run 11's with no problem. As mention aboved I plan on getting my tranny built with some 600hp ppg straight cut 1-4 gearset. This is my hobby I love working on cars and modding the crap out of them!

andy knows his stuff, but a tmic with a sz55 made the most power? if thats the case i'd have to guess it was a freak event and probably wont happen 9 out of 10.

If he is gonna do alcohol the top mount will be fine.

Andy said time after time he keeps getting the most hp out of the ebay tmic! Very strange but save's a lot of cash on a new TMIC.

[TROLL]

its like $100 difference. it might be fine for a mild turbo upgrade but have you ever held a SZ55 in your hands? i bet its hard for you to find an owner of one who has a TMIC, and there's a reason for it, its a very large turbo for a 2.0L

and barry sorry but alcohol doesnt replace intercooler, especially with a SZ55.

[HuffRex]

Maybe I can get Andy to chime in on this. This is the setup he told me to go with for 400+whp.

[TROLL]

yeah I'd love to hear what he has to say... he's got experience tuning, not me... but thats a mighty big turbo to put on an IC with half the volume of a front mount.
actually makes me think of Seneca who was running an APS SR55 and a Spearco TMIC... his car has the friggin works including TGV deletes, PnP, and a Phil-tuned Element Hydra... and it hit 350whp on 93 octane. i cant say for certain that the TMIC is what was holding him back, but its a good guess. (hi seneca! sorry to use you as an example if you didnt want to be!)
just trying to inspire some good technical debate here...
