You officially have the meanest sounding xB that I have ever heard. We heard it in person like my girl said. I want a ride now..

You going to Nopi too ProshopxB? If so, we will see you there.

 

[quote="nester"]Ah I see, make sense. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Hmmm..Let's see the wifey and the kid will be out of town that weekend and I will be on vacation too, so if I can come up with a few dollars for gas and find a place to stay, I would say I think im going to go. $hit I can always just sleep in the box...

Thanks everyone for the praise on how the box sounds, ZPI deserves it all thou.

 

MY question is, Is that with exhaust still off, or is the exhaust reattached. I really didn't look closely at the video. and someone needs to re compress the Vid! hangs up near the end.

I wanna see the DIY on this :-D

 

No exhaust.. Just enough pipe for the 2nd o2 sensor. We'll have an exhaust on it this week.

 

I wanna hear how it sounds with this "full" ZPI exhaust :-D

 

rollhard - by "real", i meant a turbo kit that was attempting to make more than 30 or 40 hp. i don't think i have to go on here and explain myself anyways but hopefully this will clarify my statement a little bit. i just see other turbo and supercharger kits and think they cost way too much for what you get out of them. i've read what you've been doing with the greddy though so props since you seem to be really making an effort to make that kit the best it can be.

 

Two questions about the video:

1) Why does the car sound like it's ignition is cutting in and out (high speed miss) when it is put under hard acceleration? You can hear this in the opening scene when the car passes the camera just after it has pulled out of the parking space. You can also hear it when the car is pulling into the parking lot at the end of the video, just before the shot shows it in the garage. I would hope that with that added cylinder pressure, the kit would include or suggest some type of spark intensifying system(MSD, Mallory or Jacobs...etc.) rather than spark plug gap reduction. Looks like the flames are "blowing out" under pressure, IMHO.

2) Will the kit require you reposition the windshield washer bottle like it is in the video? Can it be filled in that position when the bumper cover is re-installed?

Not trying to "flame", lord knows there's enough of that, just looking for clarification.

 

My guess is the ECU is trying to maintain the correct afr. On an FI car, low to mid to mid high throttle position the ECU runs lean because it has no idea what is going on. Its only WOT that the AFR is somewhat drivable. My car does the same thing if I dont go WOT. Mid throttle and my UEGO pegs 17:1. ZPI is probably having the same problems.

 

LOUD is all i have to say VERY LOUD!!! It sounds really incredibly truly nice and my regards to billy for being SO DAM patient. A couple of days without my car (due to paint) and im going CRAZY!!! Even when they are doing a simple brake change i go crazy with those couple of hours without my bab.

 

No worries about the questions, your not flaming..nothing wrong with asking questions.

1. The car was driven in 2nd and was bouncing off the rev limiter, which is why you were hearing what you heard.

2. The window washer bottle is in its factory location and not moved at all.

 

Billy, when are you getting your car back? It will be like a classic Lassie movie. I can just see it now, you running towards your car in slow motion with the wind blowing through your hair.

 

They built the kit around the car as to keep all the factory parts like washer bottle, ac, etc. in place.

 

That is funny $hit... It will be back early next week.. Yeah I may need a few mins alone with it for some loving..

 

Most kits are built around the car. Thats how they can sell them as bolt on kits. I havent seen a kit that needs relocation of major parts etc. On my kit, I didnt have to relocate anything.

 

You relocated a turbo from a box into a box.

 

So the retail kit, will it throw a CEL? I'm waiting to see how the transmission holds up. Good job guys, keep up the good work. Video was nice,

 

ANY kit that is using a piggy back will throw the CEL because if its richer than 13 the CEL will throw the too rich code. If its leaner than 16, it will throw the too lean code. Since the sensors are narrowband, youll most likely have the CEL on. The ECU tries to maintain around 14.7 afr which would be too learn for FI.

 

Is there any way to bypass or "trick" the system so you don't have to roll around w/that light on?

 

props on the kit.......seeing it in action just makes me drule and a light bulb comes on and i say damn i wanna a crack at that box haha
