AVO "Stage 2" Build

[King Tut]

Dat torque.

Great numbers out of the AVO kit on corn juice. @Sportsguy83

Only downside is the turbo isn't able to hold peak boost to redline and your torque curve and peak horsepower numbers suffer due to it.

I was never able to get up there. 335/255 @16 psi was Toni's best tune...

Must be a freaking blast to drive! That instant torque hit must be intoxicating.

as much as I would call that a "downside", he is still producing 390whp and 330tq.... His car is insane now! wow.

Video clips of some passes or gear runs would be cool sometime.

I will try to get some of that stuff posted. I was on the track a week or so again, and have like 3 hours of footage from multiple gopros to edit/go through. Only bad thing is i learned that i really need external mics for best sound. The wind noise over 40 or so just ruins it.

Mounted one of them right on the front bumper, and that sounded great! Will try to get a video posted soon.

I have a dyno of the "final" tune Toni did on this, i will try to dig it up. I honestly dont even remember what it made.

Yeah, the tq on this is great. I love it. That was what always made me want the @AVOturboworld kit, fast spool, instant torque. I know it drops off a bit at the tail end, but the average person, as well as myself, aren't tearing down the highway redlining, so i dont feel like its a big issue at all.

Honestly, its so fast now, and gets there so quickly, i cant imagine needing more up top. I can very easily get up to 120-130 in a very short time, and after that im kind of scared of cops, animals, bumps, etc..its just too fast really for street driving. And i am not trying to drag on the street, or the track honestly.

I just cant imagine, or even comprehend what you guys are doing with 400+ on these in daily driving, my guess is nothing. Its just unusable it seems other than for a quick rolling pull on someone on the highway.

Overall the car is just amazing to drive now, totally driveable on the street, and just feels stock if i am poking around, but if i step on that gas....oh man, it gets going "fast", fast. Hah. Feels great.

mine is being tuned today/tomorrow. i dropped it off saturday with a full tank of e85. ill be happy with 350ish haha, anything else is a bonus. great looking charts you have there

13 psi on an everyday map, I really really like the sound of that but I'm just curious to know how long that will last on the stock block..how many miles have you been boosted?

I have about 8400 miles total and have been boosted for about 4400 miles or so. Of those, around 4000 were on a pretty crappy tune and not driven all that hard or regularly.

Now that I seem to have a much better tune, will be putting more miles and driving it much harder most likely.

I am definitely subbed for a casual update for the miles and such for the bar of boost

So jelly you guys have the corn juice. Time after time it amazes me the difference in power.

Still working on other videos, but here is my first stab at putting together a video of the track out here "High Plains Raceway". This was one of my earlier runs, and i was still learning the track, so not nearly as much fun as some of my later ones. By the end of the day i had shaved about 40secs off my lap time....went from around a 2:57 to a 2:17, not bad i think, considering it was my first day at this track, and first time in this car.

Unfortunately, by the end of the day, one of my cameras memory cards was full, and i only had a single camera running, plus it was the side mount, an di learned after the fact, that the audio sucks on it, when it gets lots of wind noise. I will try to piece together more footage later. But this gives an idea of the track, and does let you hear the turbo/engine a bit.

I added in the track data, map, turns, etc..what do you all think, with or without it? I might render out one with just the map...not really sure, i think it works ok, and doesnt distract from the overall vid too much.

Nice video. What are you using to add the map?

Thanks.

As far as the video creation.
I am using a custom software package that I'm creating. Using GPS inputs for tracking and multiple video feeds. If I ever actually finish it will probably release it. But not big on my list of to dos.

I thought it was awesome on the video. I was studying the turn as you approached it and it was fun to see how my predictions matched up! I think it wasn't distracting, everything was laid out well. Moar.
