Travis I beleive they are talking about the turbo placment change. The dyno was from original turbo setup, with the turbo on the exhaust manifold in the engine bay and not remote mounted on the down pipe. My car was the first car with the remote mounted turbo, until the shop car was stripped of the first setup and fitted with the new design.

 

thank you...

i think im running more whp than zpi's xB... ill get a dyno and tell all the non believers to shove it...

 

It has nothing to do with being a non-believer. It has everything to do with being a realist. Some people choose to follow individuals or companies with blind faith. Many do so with absolutely no basis in reality. I don't.

ZPI made one dyno run with a prototype car who's turbo set up has nothing in common with their production kit. Not to mention the fact that dyno runs can be manipulated. I'm not accusing ZPI of doing this, but fact is companies do it all the time. Environmental conditions and dyno setup can have a great affect on the results of a dyno run.

And to Fusion, I can't wait to see the numbers from your dyno run. For yours, and everyone's sake I hope you put down 180+ hp to the wheels. I really do hope to see that. I don't care who is able to get big numbers out of the xB, as long as someone is pursuing it. Where it is ZPI, Greddy, Race Precision, HKS, Turbo Toyotas, or some guy in his garage some where. I give them all respect for trying to push the envelope of what people think the xB is capable of.

But for now, the fact remains there are NO dyno numbers for the kit that ZPI plans to sell. And until I see some cold hard facts, I am not willing to follow the stuff floating around these forums hook, line and sinker.

 

Hey guys, sorry for the late post about my current set up. My time is extremely limited, so don't think i'm trying to not share any information when it takes days, if not weeks for me to respond to everything.

My current set up consist of aem cai, jic exhaust, custom 2.5'' piping to axle, aem standalone, aem map sensor holding up to 3.5 bar, aria pistons, custom port and polish job, regrind cam, hks gauges, hks gt2510 t3 turbo and gt2 wastegate, dc sport header, 103 octane gas (when dyno'd), custom intercooler, custom motor mounts, perrin fuel rail, 370cc injectors, custom rod, and then a few other little things.

Dyno graphs will be up in a matter of time, same with videos. I will say yes, i've hit mid-to-high 12's to low 13's with roughly 195-210whp. Couldn't get a steady figure but two dyno runs hit 200.x and 202.x so i'm saying i have 200whp since that appeared not only more than once, its pretty much in the middle of all numbers i hit. As far as torque goes, 190's. Lowest wtq hit was 184wtq, don't need all that torque in this car, makes it not as fun when you are trying to take it easy.

I know mpg is another question. I'm roughly hitting 17-20mpg all day on 93 octane.

 

hope we get a dyno... i need pistons and a new head and ill be keeping up with your numbers...

goodjob man....

 

One question for you Tony... Is your turbo a remote mount setup? If it isnt how are you still using a DC Sports header?... Just wondering.. nice numbers by the way.. cant wait to see the dyno sheets and the vid.

 

I had the same question as billy. I was also curious to know if you are still running the higher compression pistons of if you had swapped over to lower compression pistons?

And I bet if that map sensor ever sees 3.5 bar your pistons will be seeing the pavement. ;)

 

Yeah tell me about it. Yes to the remote set up, and yes to the pistons. I need to swap them out, but basically built the motor for all motor and slapped some turbo parts on and called it a day. The motor is still running strong so i'm extremely impressed.

 

Very cool to hear the motor and transmission are holding strong for now. Shoot some pix of the setup you have for the turbo. Did you buy the full HKS trubo kit? Or did you just get your hands on an HKS turbo and do all of your own piping, BOV, etc.?

 

To add more questions on to Dustins.. When you did the Internals.. did you have new wrist pins made or use the stock one's?

 

deng i think i just have been influence to make my own turbo setup so i can save some money..........thanks to ZPI and Tony i think ima end up fabin my own remote mount setup since i have just about everything that is needed.......milling machine, mig welder, pipping, etc......(yea i have a machine shop in my back yard) i just gotta find me a decent turbine, BOV, etc..... am i able to get the Greddy oil pan? just so i dont have to drill a hole through mines?

 

If you are interested in the Garrett GT2554R, I have seen some VERY reasonable prices on the web. Let me know.

 

very impressive guys....
way to raise the bar on our cars...

just post some dynos and pics to seal the deal!!!

this is great.... i knew this box had potential!!!

 

@aireck
all i can say is look at the echo's, and wait till i got the money!

 

IM WAITING FOR MORE SWAPS TO COME OUT...
ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME...

 

kewl hook up da links man and ill have a look at em........cuzz im a noob when it comes to turbos and but i can fab my own stuff up so that it will work just dont know to much about the turbine and all........i've onlee been able to hook up a turbo to a EK Hatch LS-VTEC setup other then that im still new to the turbo scene........i dont think ima go for very big numbers yet i just want it to work out and all so ill prolly b pushing like 5psi tops.........you know first time to have a turbo(in my ride anyways)......ive driven the LS-Vtec turbo and i was scared of it cuzz dat car was fast...........

 

Turbo time is over for now, on my way from Ga to Nc for vacation i had to stop three times due to over-heating issues. Back to all motor platform.

Don't worry, after the holidays look for vid(s) and dyno sheets. I'll also try and get a few vids of the all motor "beast" Feels slow as crap compared to 200whp, but 145ish is fine. Can run in the 13's with slicks, mid to high 14's with street tires.

Merry christmas.

 

killerx, you were running an auto right? how'd you keep it from blowing up?

 

Hey Tony why don't you bring the car down to our next meet so we can admire it? We are all curious and you fairly close by

 

he ran well is running a standalone engine managment system.........
