One thing that just doesn't seem right in the back of my mind...So you are seriously guaranteeing that the amazing low end torque is real and not just present on the dyno graphs you are providing? It is just really hard to believe this near - unnatural low end performance from a huge turbo like this on a 2.0L.

Just for the sake of clarity and comparing apples to apples, will you be doing a pull or two on a dynojet anytime soon?

Thanks and looking forward to the videos.

We'll be re-dynoing the car again soon. The torque curve before was totally legit and will be back again soon. We'll look to dyno the car on a Dynojet eventually.

Here's dyno from the skatery1989. This is at 12.5psi with e85 on the new blower



Very impressed with your numbers so far, good work guys :happy0180: I'd bet with e85 and similar boost we'll be seeing results past 400whp maybe close to 500whp?

An E85 tune will definitely happen down the road. We're expecting to see some pretty beastly numbers when we do get around to tuning it on E85.

Any CARB thoughts? It is after both cats, right?

Here's a quick video we shot of an acceleration run.

Things to note:

Between the driver and the rear-seat camera guy, we're at about 335 lbs.

Also, we're running 255/35/R18 R888 tires, so the actual road speed will actually be slightly faster than the indicated speed on stock diameter tires.

The stock prius tires, although good enough for the stock power is not going to give you much traction with the added power, it's not so much wheel diameter, but more of contact patch and lower tread wear rating, i.e. running wider performance summer tires as opposed to all-season tires.

I see you left your speedo on kph....

Nope, it replaces the 2nd cat with a turbo.

There is no way, that I could see from putting the car up on a lift, to retain both cats and have a turbocharger (unless you mount it in the rear replacing the stock muffler).

Was a joke.

Figured we could all pretend your speedo was in kph so it didn't look like you hit 120 mph on the street.

LOVE what you're showing us.

Also it looks like it was shifting at 8krpm. Am I seeing that correctly?

That is correct.

I see you raised the rev limit, you sly dog you. Looks awesome. Basically, though, for carb, I'd need a supercharger. That's a quandary.
