slowbalt84, i posted another thread with videos in there with the first, and not datalogged tune.

ok excellent I will check it out right now. thanks

 

I think this may be what people are talking about. http://www.turbosystem.com/ProjectVe...C%20Turbos.htm

It's a Hahn kit using a modified Mitsubishi 20G turbo.

MHI = Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, so it would be the same minus the portion that Hahn mods.

 

nope definitely not the kit i am talking about. The one i am talking about will be a lot cheaper. like half the price since hahn is overpriced like a biotch

 

Any links/info?

 

no links as the company is in the process of testing it. It's dejon lol. I can't keep my mouth shut lol

 

dejon is crap, cheaper products, worse quality.

 

I have nothing but good things to say about my dejon products.... The service and personality of the owner on the other hand is crap!

 

really? name one product on the ss/tc thats crap.
intake? everyone's is crap
downpipe? its just a metal pipe.
boost piping? i have had it for over 15,000 miles and works great

so seriously if you have an opinion but have no facts then don't talk.

 

The only way anybody is ever going to be able to realistically compare aftermarket parts is to have one of each part from each manufacturer lined up and inspected by one independent tester then installed on one test vehicle and run on the same dyno and then around town on the same roads for a week. Each part going through the same set of inspections and tests. Then and ONLY then would you have an HONEST comparison.

Till then "to each his own".

I happen to like my CIA stuff. Enough so that I have ALL their stuff. CAI, Boost tubing and down pipe. After buying the first piece, the catted down pipe, and installing it I decided to stick with CIA. Each and every piece seems to be well designed and manufactured using what I accept as the best materials. Fit and finish of each part is nothing short of beautiful. The under hood parts definately compliment my engine compartment and the down pipe not only improves the performance but sounds GREAT. The prices are not the cheapest around but I learned a LONG time ago through trial and a lot of errors (expensive errors) that cheapest is NOT usually the best. Neither is the most expensive. When you GET what you PAY for you got a good deal. Then you have to consider the PEOPLE you deal with at CIA. Dan is easy to talk to, communicates well and will make you feel like one of the family. He's been in the aftermarket business a while and knows the business.

P.T. Barnum said it best. "There's an ass for EVERY seat". Take it from there!

 

With the exception of AEM's Silicone elbow blunder, and the SRIs that seem to be very difficult to get dialed in because of vastly fluctuating IATs. It just takes some tuning to get everything running much better with most if not all intakes.

 

you said it perfectly... i love how everyone says intakes are crap.. however, if you have a good tuner that knows what he is doing, that intake will actually help you out.

 

As long as your intake does not collapse at high levels of Vac. Because of the longer length of the CAIs though there can be a reduction in low end and midrange even when tuned for the intake. Tofu dynoed his car before and after his Injen intake and it gained 10 whp up top but lost power in the midrange.

 

vince any tune update with the raised fuel pressure?

 

Well, I've had my car back at the dyno with it running at 2600psi (it's been running that much pressure since I made this original post), it didn't seem to make a difference in the power, but I did notice it was leaning out at the end of the pull, so the high pressure pump might have been experiencing starvation.

We do know now, however, that raising the fuel rail pressure solves the fueling issues on upgraded turbos that require more fuel/RPM. I think it's public knowledge now that we are working with a company that made some ridiculous amount of power (over 500WHP if I recall) on the dyno (without any additional electronics and no throttle shutdown) using our fuel rail pressure tweaks, boost table mods, and wastegate table mods.

So, yes, it works, and solved the problem it was supposed to solve, but no it doesn't seem to have much use on stock turbo cars.

 

We picked up a few HP on the stock turbo by raising fuel pressure, but that was with ported head and every mod possible, including open downpipe...and it was only a few hp.
