As high as Scott feels safe... that being said, I will probably ask that we back it off once we find that point, I want this to be as reliable as possible. If we hit 350 on crappy CA gas, i'll bust out in a session of Cumbaya (sp?).
so how's you kit setup? what kinda' turbo? placemnet? all that stuff. looks pretty good from what i can see at the dyno graph, looks like you can crank out some decent #'s when scotts all done tuning and raising boost.
All of Mazsport's turbo kits are complete kits which inlude the Interceptor-X, the Fuel Pump upgrade and the fuel injectors to name a few key components.
The Type 1 kit has a low mounted turbo with an air to air intercooler. It is ideal for autocross or track cars where balance is a priority.
We will be completing the dyno runs today so you will see the dyno charts tonight if everything goes as planned for the day.....
I thought the mazsport kit was using a GT35R turbo. Is the kit on this car the stage 1 kit? So is it safe to say that this is the lower power kit? If you call 300hp low power.

it's actually different than the 35r, but i don't know if i'm allowed to give details on the turbo itself... scott can release any info he wants to on the unit itself.
the 304whp @ 8psi last night was just the tip of the iceburg. he'll try to get the car up to about 350whp tonight and that'll be good enough.
there's easily 400+ whp potential from the turbo, but the 91 octane gas is our limiting factor because of the high compression. with some alky injection and/or race gas, 400 should come easy.
i actually love how its just a conservative tune. yeah i like HP but having 280+ to the wheels with just 6psi is a huge selling point for me personally.

Yeah, that 6 psi is a LOT more air going into the engine than the 18g at, say, 9 psi.
we have 93 octane gas here in Dallas/Fort Worth Texas so it would be interesting at the prospect of seeing 400HP -> 340-350WHP on my car in the future.
From what little ive seen this is the kit I shall be getting - 300+ rwhp that's solid and reliable as a rock - im sold!
Can't wait to see some pics, and of course more dyno charts
that is right alot of poeple think 6 psi is not much but don't ask what turbo.... simple big turbos push more air with less Psi
Uhh... The engine flows X volume of air at Y rpm. How much air you can fit in X volume is where boost comes in. What makes 6 psi more hp on a different turbo has to do with the temperature of the charge, quality of the tune, and some misc. things. If you stay within the high efficiency area of a turbo, running a 40/14.7 pressure ratio at whatever CFM the RE can flow at 8500 rpm or so, you'll get better power.
Those are some great numbers, congrats. The guys called me up and the car runs great now at 6 psi, but I'll never see that power at my 6psi.
