Pimpjuice, MAN... NICEEEEEEE... I can't wait to see some video's and some timeslips from the track, as well as a dyno... WE'RE IMPATIENT HURRY UP.

 

Would I be a little crazy to want to fly to your hometown to see the setup in person?

 

Ok I'm fantacizing here:

Can we speculate as to how much HP this setup is puttin' to the ground? That'll hold me until we get dyno results.

 

i say a good 350-400hp at wheel?? maybe more with his turbo i dont know itll be tite if hes pushin out 500hp to the wheel

 

dayaaaaaaaaammmmmmmm

 

People talk a lot of game about turbos, especially when it comes to a retardly expensive stage 5 BB turbo that I think is way too much for your car, or most FWD cars.

It is of course your car, but when you are going to up the boost and have all this top end to support your VI, the person next to you running a smaller turbo with quicker spool will have already pulled further ahead. Granted you will be able to play catch up, but who likes to have to watch people pull away from them and constantly have to try and catch back up?

My thing is, why not do a hybrid turbo, and just run higher boost. You can run 15-18psi on a t04e hybrid and put out around 500+ whp, but I highly doubt you will be anywhere near ready for that.

What psi are you running now?

 

whats the price on the turbo?

 

Also remember that turbonetics does not warranty ball bearing turbos! If for what ever reason you have a problem w/your turbo, ball bearing turbos cannot be rebuilt... they have to be completely gutted and brand new parts need to be used$$$$ Check into it. Because turbos are not maintenance free and I knowyou would'nt want to have to pay for that thing AGAIN. this was one of my main reasons for not going BB.

Props to Senor Pimp for the creativity and $$ to put into his Max.

His car is insane, but 350+ whp is difficult, if not damn near impossible to get to the ground with fwd. Our fwd platform is not the most optimal for drag racing, but that's not to say the VQ can't handle boost. Top end this car would go, but who races to 150mph?

 

thank you... i know i don't, i hit like 120 and have to shut it down.

 

mad props to pimpjuice on the turbo
do you have a 6 speed with lsd?

 

The turbo may be big, but he still does have half a liter more to work with.

I think you guys need to lay off the telling him a better way to set up HIS car. Run whatever turbo you want, but for those who can afford a BB turbo and have no problem with it, let him do it. You guy criticise him for something that costs a lot of money plus a lot of time and effort, give the man some damn props for the awesome work he put into it. His car is still gonna be faster than yours, so all you can do is weep that he got the turbo you never could..

 

Thanks for the support guys.

 

Hahahahaa.. you're an idiot, and I can prove it to you in 2 ways.

#1: That was the first thing I said, you can see at the bottom "good work," hence giving him his "damn props."

#2: I have spent probably 5x as much as he has on his car, and probably double what anyone has on this entire forum (if you really want to compare). I don't prance around this forum saying I spent this and I have done this, but when some dumbass opens his mouth, you get your up-and-comings. So that completely negates your comment of me not being able to afford some overpriced and oversized turbo.

There will always be faster cars, no matter what, and it has nothing to do with how much money or how big his turbo is; it's about practicallity and for those of us who know what we are talking about, his turbo choice was not the most practical. So when you can afford to upgrade from your cold air intake, come back and play newbie.

 

That is awesome pimpjuice! Can't wait to see dyno and 1/4 mile times

 

day-um.... this is one of the better smackdowns i've seen in almost 3 years

 

daaaaayaaaam sadler. he got served...

 

Getting this thing off the line is going to suck. You're going to have to be real careful with the go pedal because as it is stock, you have to work it because it's so easy to spin the tires if too much torque is applied. But after the tires hook up, B-BYE. Can't wait to see the track results for this badboy and hope people start regularly start turboing or SCing the 3.5.

I think Uncle Max spent up north of $10,000 just on the turbo system alone. It was also not a kit. It was all custom design/fabricated also.

The 3.5VQ already has torque up the ying/yang. IMHO, he can afford the later spool

 

Sadler, what are your dyno numbers? Just curious.

 

Yeah, that was pretty NASTY ownage by Sadler.

BTW, Sadler's car is nothing to sneeze at, just in case you guys are thinking Sadler's has no bullets in his chamber...

 

I don't think he'll have that hard a time launching it, in all honesty. If the turbo doesn't start pulling hard until ~4500 RPM, then he's going to be just fine. in fact, he might be able to do two burnouts in first...

One at takeoff due to the engines already strong numbers, and another as soon as he starts on the boost.

 

I agree. The 3.5 would be better with a larger turbo and later boost for those exact reasons.

 

SAdler not to get off topic but it seems that you amongst other ORG members know alot about turbo's. Seeing that IYHO this is not the optimal set up for the 33.5 what turbo would be better and why if you don't mind me asking?

 

I think he is just saying that he does not understand why he would put that kind of money into that turbo, instead of another car that has more possiablities.


You just need some slicks, thats all there is too it.
