Wow! Unreal, clean work.

Think I'm in your neck of the woods at Atwater. Next time I'm here I'll message you for a beer.

Got it back - oh man does it sound amazing! So much more turbo, so much more growl from engine, and the bov sound is great. It’s a longer higher pitched sound - best I can explain is it sounds more like a Supra but not over top import. The BOV that all the Supra’s have is the HKS SQV. I have the turbo smart race port. There’s snow on ground AGAIN so I just spun the tires trying to do 0-60 runs so will have to wait for dry roads to test.

Going to dyno in next few weeks. I did some logs on way home running my old tune so obviously I have to get a new one to take advantage of all the new airflow. I’m pushing 37psi at peak and turbo airflow 56.04 lb/min. Based on the below which I’ve found on a few sites that should be 532-588hp estimated at flywheel - I’m guessing low 500s to wheels but will know for sure in a bit.

As a very general rule, turbocharged gasoline engines will generate 9.5-10.5 horsepower (as measured at the flywheel) for each lb/min of airflow. So, an engine with a target peak horsepower of 400 Hp will require 36-44 lb/min of airflow to achieve that target.

So hard to capture while I’m driving - windows up is too quiet and windows down lots of wind noise but tried to get the intake / bov noise here...bov is so sick.

Yep HKS, Greddy, Turbosmart etc will all work. Plenty of room. The Turbosmart is what Brett typically uses so I went with it and it’s a great happy medium between what it was and Supra territory (don’t know any other comparison to use).

Did you get any IATs before and after?

I was a little surprised at how bad the stock intercooler is, 36° outside with an intake temp of 64° with the stock intercooler.......

37psi is insanely high. That doesn’t sound right.

I think he's talking absolute pressure (PSIA) not gauge. However, I have a question, where are you getting the mass airflow (lbs/min) numbers?

it should be reducing pressure with the intake and exhaust work flowing better.

btw, that looks sick as hell.

Correct, that 37 psi is “manifold absolute pressure”.

I get it from vcm scanner - I do some 0-60 pulls and 3rd gear/4th gear pulls and scroll to where I hit redline basically and see the numbers on the readout there. It’s capturing close to 100 categories.

That makes all the difference. Pull out that 14.7 and it’s a lot more realistic.

I might also be up for meeting, depending on the day and time. Kids have basketball games all week, except Weds. I have class and work Thursday... But, don't schedule it around my schedule. If you put something together, and I happen to be available, I'll try to be there. I just got a bunch of my interior CF parts too...

let’s figure it out through messages. Thursday says 5-7 inches of snow so obviously before then is better

Another clip of the glorious sounds - purposely not accelerating fast so you can hear least exhaust as possible - some nice intake and bov sound

Intake BOV 2
