I hear ya. I have been that way for over a month waiting for my turbo....

 

Yeah man! we'll get it all figured out on the 19th. we were thinking a 3 day weekend just after that to do the work in denver, then ill drive home for the rest of it and additional tuning. I dont wanna fully tune it in denver when i live 2000ft lower elevation.

 

Sweet. Hopefully I will get mine before that and we can really have some fun!

Keep me posted via PM or e-mail:

Trev...man i know i can only image you are going loco! i need to call john today anyways for Duane intake so i can check on your turbo and see if i cant get the part number!

Well it is a combination of Cubic inches, stroke, head design, and intake...and power adders

Also if we go my route no need for the Saab Mani...

 

Ya, going pretty loco! Thanks for checking in with John.

See if you can get the name and number of they guy John placed the order with. I want to call them and give them a mouth full....

I will look forward to what you have to say when I get home from work tonight.

Thanks again kev....

 

Ok talked with John over @ alpine and i will be heading over there Sunday and not only getting the specs on your turbo but taking pics of your turbo and the kit for you and i have to pick up Duanes plastic manifold as well

So John said your turbo is in and finishing things up!

 

yea i know what they are up to

sneaky bastards

but yes you will still need a bigger turbo to make those numbers

that small of a snail just can't push enough air


p.s im heading out to the track tonight

so wish me luck
hoping for say high to mid 12s with say a 110+ trap

 

LOL!
good luck man! keep the clutch light and the peddle heavy! rip some sick 60foots!

 

NO WAY!! HE has it! It's in!!! Will he be shipping it out first thins Monday morning?

 

I just shifted through 25 pages lookin for a vid link or something and never found one... I really wanna see your **** dude, post it up!

 

what do you want to see?

 

There was supposed to be some great, nicely edited vid of the car, but its never materialized. I dont think anyone doubts the car, we all would just like to see some good action vids taken with a decent camera.

 

dude give these guys a break...you think honestly if you had one of the only turbo 2.2s or were waiting for good news or bad news about something (wink wink) do you think you'd be checking here every 5 mins to see who wants vids and who doesn't


THIS GUYS ARE FREAKING BUSY

not to be a dick but if you wanna know how the car sounds/drives

call alpine and order a turbo kit like they did

btw to the op and speed mafia

track i went to just opened didnt have any rubber on it yet brand new surface for 07

long story short
1 car crashed and another almost did
i was the only fwd out there goin at it with the big boys who where all on slicks or drs

it was an 8th mile track my best time was 9.01 best trap was 85

problem was my 2.4xx 60 fts and spinning half way down the track

fastest car of the day was a stang that ran 5.80 at like 120

sorry for the thread jack

 

I will be taking a ton, or so I hope, of pics and vids when I get my kit. Vids for sure when the cars done and I fire it up for the first time with the turbo on!

I will try to take as many pics of the process as I can. I am going to have my little bro help me and a friend from work wants to come over and help too. So I will have a few extra hands for pics and vids.....

Should be getting it mid week!!!!

 

Duane manifold will be shipped tomorrow man

Trev...saw your turbo today and it is ready to go and john did say he is going to get it out tomorrow AKA Monday! give him a call as a follow up, let him know i told you that i said it will go out monday as he told me to tell you just to give him a reminder he is very busy with other kits as you can imagine and he is moving his stuff at the house to go to AZ and Dave that worked very close with John is going to run the show out here as well so Alpine is basically in to locations

 

OH BABY!

Thanks so much Kev!

John said that it should take no more then 3 days to get to me, so at the latest , I should see it Thursday!

 

NICE!

Also i forgot that damn compressor map! uugghhh i will send it over tonight

 

what size turbo is he getting

 

it is very specific for the design...i know its a 60trim and it is a borg warner and i have the sheet and will get the info tonight... basically it has modified internals and a little larger housing and bigger then a TD04 Mitz turbo

 

damn a 60 trim is freaking huge and around 3 times larger then a tdo4

 

ok maybe not! lol i will post the map up so you guys decide

 

yeah i wouldnt put a 60 trim on my car unless it was fully built post up a map

 

Actually, based on MY pressure ratio and CFM in lbs/min, a 60 trim is about right for me. It puts the boost @ 8psi and at 6450k rpm, right in the sweet spot of the compressor map...
Right where you want it be be most efficient!

 

first of all a 60 trim a 8 psi isnt gonna be efficent a 60 trim inst a lil bigger than a mitzu tdo5 its 3 times bigger a sixty trim is about 3-4 times bigger then my stock turbo on my srt4


a 60 trim will make around 600 whp at 25 psi

this isnt the turbo for you

 

Well poop... Remember, John did not remember off the top of his head the size. I wonder if he got the housing size confused....


What size is your trim?

Well, wither way, the turbo is designed specifically for the 2.2L eco, so I am sure that it will work great. I guess I will have to wait for Kev to get the map posted up to really find out....

Thanks for the info thoug...
