ooh. fancy. I like where this is going. Dang it. I better get a job soon.
Side note: Garm, was taking my course walk when I overheard some folk's talking about a SC yaris that beat his Vette! I laughed a little, and talked to the dude. Told him it was me, in Long's car. But, turns out, it was YOU in the turbo beast. I had a good laugh over that one! Back to topic: when does the warranty expire on the Yaris? 30K, 50K??? (huh, that WASN'T the topic!) |

Garm you need to get a "Vette Killer" sticker and put stars on your fender every time you kill one

^ yes, it's the nationals this weekend. I can't race both days, but I would have taken 2nd place in CSM if I did. Kinda disappointed, but stuff happens to limit my availability.
The corvettes are powerful and great on road course, but pretty heavy for the more technical autocrossing. The two '89 Civics spank everyone, every time.

just to sum up: what would this kit typically include, and what else would be expected/recommended beyond what the kit would come with?
I vote for a base mapping for 80 degrees, sea level, and ~40-50% humidity: that'd effectively cover many people and could be done relatively easy in a miami-based shop; many would be appreciative of a tune-out-the-door so to speak. hypothetically, where does this put the power figures with the rough concept of this kit? |

Dibs on being the guinea pig (if one is even necessary) if it nets me a discount.
I don't think you guys could have picked a better time to collaborate lmao. I almost flat out bought the Zage kit (and I still may), but now I potentially have options! And I gotta agree with almost everyone here - a base tune would be VERY beneficial. |

thanks. i haven't seen these yet. could the torque be increased with a proper dyno tune? I mean, obviously all numbers will probably increase, but is the gap between HP and TQ usually similar to what is shown there on turbo applications?

Absolutely I could increase both HP & TQ by fine tunning it with the AEM FIC. But honestly I want to stay in the 150-155HP range. I feel that is the safest range of power for the stock pistons & rods. That not to say that I couldnt make more HP just for a race or something.

As for the turbo, option 1, which will be a T28, has for both water & oil but only the oil is absolutely necessary. The water is optional. Option 2, which will be a GT2554R will need both I believe. |

I think the GT28 on a stock motor is not the appropriate turbo. It would be doggish at 6 psi. The GT25 worked great on my stock motor, it's nimble, spools fast and delivers the power range intended for the kit we're working on.
My intention is to have Carlos build a 2nd kit that I can use for a test car. With two test cars, I think we'll have solid and reliable data. We'll also all have proof (which some people will want to see) that Carlos delivers quality, on time. I believe in him, but it's faith til a kit shows up in a box, if you know what I mean. NO disrespect intended, just to be clear!
