inline has gone to either 26 or 28 psi.. with stock bottom

 

Yeah S2kBoot thats would be cool...Because I am seriously considering it...But alot of people are telling me that supercharger would be best. They said its a drive in and drive out kind of thing....Another thing is that I don`t have the need for much HP I don`t streetrace all the time but every now and then I will run somebody.....Ontop of that my car is an everyday driver so I don` thave the time to tune it like I would want to...I was actually thinking of just buying the SC or TC kit and then just buying a second car....

 

lol, yeah thats exactly what I did.. bought an 03 S2k put the UR turbo kit and got another car for a daily driver.

 

How do you like that kit? and what kinfd of tuing time am I looking at with a turbokit and how frequently will I have to tune?

 

I don't know if you know much about the f20c but the stock sleeves are twice as thick as a b series.. I have a sleeved block that that is rated up to 40 psi and 750 hp.... I have made over 500 hp on a stock motor so before you say it cant be done .. do some research and take a f20c apart and see how well built it is!!!!

 

I like the kit... Of course I upgraded the turbo to an ITS T3/T04E setup and ditched the emanage for an EMS in the beginning.

I was able to a little better numbers than the lovefab kit on the stock block with that setup. 328.5 rwhp @ 9psi. Not dissing the love fab kit, personally, I think thats a better deal than I got (a year ago) for simmilar numbers.

Here is a vid of my dyno run last year on the stock motor

thumpeyr, you did your run on a dynojet. Lovefab's was on a mustang dyno. There is about a 10-15% lower number that gets displayed on a mustang dyno compared to a dynojet. The lovefab kit is actually making at LEAST 350whp if you place it on a dynojet as well.

 

The reliability is all upto your tunning.

 

Kane, your abolutely right... I forgot that small detail. Also one thing to think about. Chad ran this setup with no cat and no muffler. That alone is going to free up some ponies. My setup however did have a highflow cat and a single muffler.

Just some food for thought

 

i think you need to rebuild your engine just for incase of emergency before you surpass over maybe 300whp. I too looking for good custom parts for turbo. To me the lovefab looks safe, I didnt say it's safe but it looks safe and so far my friend of mine never had problems yet.. and 350whp is already a good number. But i know how you feel jay and I too also want 400whp as a daily driven car and right now ill just day dream until this summer or winter
