Just looked at those...some stuff looks good, but I'm betting cars running that kit burn up water pumps or go into limp mode faster due to lack of coolant flow. You can't downsize the feed to the block like that without reducing the flow. Also looks like solid mounts are a must to maintain any clearance from the frame rail, unless the engine torques the other way...haven't even looked at my car in a good while.Quote:

If that is a -8 feed, its going to do more than burn up water pumps, its going to overheat the motor, that is not enough flow.Quote:

This is exactly what I thought on the water. Leen, no one is doubting you know what you are doing, but you will not get stock spool out of a 9180, or 9174. Just not going to happen, I do not care how good the manifold is.Quote:

I'll see what he has to say.Quote:

Already ordered my kit but id still like to see results
Got any more info on the intercooler you are referring to? I couldn't find it on their site.Quote:

I think it's more of a question of advertising at this point.Quote:

@steedspeed
I don't understand why the Steed Speed update was just posted in CP-e's twin kit thread?
Ohhh I forgot it was CES kit that he was using his manifold on. That was my bad.Quote:

or in north america you guys just assume you are also talking about "rwhp"?
It's a 79lb/min turbo so it should be good for about 750-790ish whp with that iwg setup
Neither John or myself are touching the tuning. We have a very well known and respected tuner lined up for the task so as soon as we have the hard parts made we shall let him work his magic on the tune. Before getting into that I'd like John to at least take it for a rip to get some idea of how it is spooling though. At least then I'll be able to see how the manifold and turbo are working.
