New Big-Ass Turbo On Stock Fuel

[Ray Danger 2020]

Well guys, here's the results from last Thursday's (the 23rd) remote dyno tuning experience. I recently got a new big-ass turbo kit and I figured, it should definately be tuned on a dyno, if for no other reason than for consistency. All my mods are below, but the most recent additions to the car are the FJ Performance tubular manifold with vband ewg, vband screamer dump, vband down pipe, FMIC piping run under the motor, custom oil lines, Tial 44mm ewg, and the centerpiece, the Borg Warner S360 with .70 A/R single scroll hotside (normally comse twinscroll).

I decided to go with Powered By Purple Drank, one, because they're excellent tuners with a great reputation, and two, Ryan @2.0t03speed has the exact same kit and nearly all the same mods on his car (only exception being he has a meth kit and upgraded clutch I believe).

I can't even begin to describe this thing. I'm overall, simply blown away by how this turbo performs. I am currently on stock block and stock fueling, so I figured I MIGHT get 350whp on 93 and MAYBE 400 with an e85 blend (most people were telling me I'd be lucky to see 380 with e85). After only 2 revisions from the base map and being very conservative, my car put down 340whp/321wtq as a baseline pull on only 18psi, so natually i got very excited. We made several revisions on the 93 octane map and made 374whp/357wtq, but I was getting some KR so we had to dial it back a little and ended at 365whp/356wtq on my 93 octane map.

Then we moved on to my e85 blend map (3gal to a tank). He made up a base map from my 93 octane map with pretty much just the scalars adjusted for the additional fuel and the car put down 389whp/377wtq. After only 2 or 3 revisions, and running out of injector headroom, we settled at 421whp/392wtq.

I have to say I am absolutely ecstatic about the entire experience. Ryan is an absolute pleasure to work with and all the guys down at FJ Performance are a seriously awesome crew. I highly recommend doing business with either party involved. I'm not sure what his name is on here so if someone would like to tag him for me, that would be great. Also: I have no idea why some of those pictures are sideways.. lol

That is a nice little turbo you got there .

Nice numbers! I'm also working with purpledrank just need to sort out some issues with the turbo/exhuast but Ryan is pretty awesome.

How much did that set up run you if you don't mind me asking? I'm currently breaking in my forged motor and I'm really considering going BT in a season or two.

Retail on this setup (mani, turbo, ewg, dp, screamer, lines, fmic hoside) is $3,799 and can increase from there if you, say, want a bigger turbo, because a 700hp capable turbo isnt enough...lol. Honestly, this setup is fucking fantastic. Everything fit like a glove.
@Etipp98; I plan on building my engine in the spring with some aux fueling and shoot for somewhere between 550-600whp. I figure that would be plenty of fun and still leave me even more room if I somehow manage to get bored with that power level. Lol
