Was the radiator support notched for the IC pipes?

Yes good sir. :-D

I need to replace mine ASAP. Thanks David. It's all your fault

We should arrange a race-off. You vs. Bieber. I hear his in your neighborhood and has a lead foot.

I heard about the Biebs this morning, and I was rushing here to see if that was David's first win with his new turbo kit. Nice to see it was.

David, be careful "flying too low".
I did that once....
ONCE =0

Dyno weekend finally came up. @jamesm came to Miami to tune it. First of all, he is a machine. On Friday after working and driving 4 hours to Miami he jumped in the car and started doing what very few tuners do (IF ANY). Started tuning for drivability.

Spent from 9 pm to 4 am working on it. Relentless, he fine tuned the MAF, the DI by themselves, the PI by themselves and then combined them to tune it more. This is a time consuming process that almost no one wants to do.

On Saturday morning we continued fine tuning it more in preparation for dyno time. I cannot be more happy about the whole experience. I've made two really awesome choices with this car. One was allowing @kab frs work on the car including when things have gone wrong and to design the turbo kit. The other was not getting a "Pro Tune" and allowing @jamesm to show me what IS a proper tune.

To give everyone an idea what I mean, my mind was blown away when he showed me I could have an FI tuned car with no idle dip. Every single one of the 50 tunes my car had before now, idle dipped. "Pro tuners" had told me that the LW FW caused it and there was no way around it. LOL.....

I will make a BIG review thread with lots of info when the dyno tune is done. The reason it did not get completed was because we had fuel pump issues. No matter how much fuel we added, it would lean out after 6K RPMs. I'm now looking at what options beside the 265 pump to get.

As far as numbers, with 8 degrees of timing (should run about 22 with E 85 and each degree acounts for 10-20 whp) at 14.5 psi, the car did a run of 293 WHP only going up to 6.5K RPMs. Doing the math means it should make around 450 with no major problems. Also, GTX30) being "laggy" is a myth. Full boost around 4300 RPM (@jamesm correct anything I've said here if its wrong).

Awesome. It's been a while since I've seen a good review about anything forced induction here. I'm really glad it's worked out, and much faster then the other guys.

Do you know if Kab will be sell the kit? How much did it run you?

Dynosty recently release something.... found it. And I think AVO was working on something, but I doubt you'd be interested in that.

He will sell the kit yes, anyone interested in getting it can contact him. I don't think it will be a mass produced kit like making kits and having them in stock and such, but he will build a kit to anyone interested. ( @KAB-FRS correct me if I'm wrong).

The kit ran me 5K plus with GTX turbo and garret intercooler.

I need to look at the AVO pump to see if it's larger than 2XX

KAB can do the return system and cheaper than Dynosty or FBM, the problem is I do not want to do a return system right now, was waiting until I built it.

What I am really looking at now is fitting FBM 340 lph pump in the tank. Will update everyone with results.

U def need to give me a ride on Saturday. I'm highly considering having him tune me once i get everything i need (will just keep basic etuning for now)

I'm glad you like the gtx30r. I don't recall laggy ever leaving my lips just amazing. Congrats on a solid finish my friend. I'm sure we are all looking forward to more visuals and well spoken write ups.
I'm so glad I have my 30r. I couldn't picture any other turbo in my life.

[Sportsguy83]

@mrk1 I was going to tag you in the post but didn't know if you would be interested in the tuning details.

I have a video of it on the Dyno let me get it up.
