IANM sorry had to edit post hit the wrong key AT 18 POUNDS OF BOOST AND OPTIMIZING THE TIMING WITH OUR CUSTOM CHIPS.WE WILL ALSO NEED TO USE AND ELECTRONIC BOOST CONTROLER AND A LITTLE KNOW HOW.BUT WE BELIEVE IT CAN BE DONE AND IF NOT HAY WHO ELSE IS TRYING?I THINK THE EFFORT ALONE IS WORTH SHOOTING FOR.I WILL BE AT THE GERMAN AUTO FEST IN VENTURA MAYBE SOME OF US CAN GET TOGETHER AND ILL SHOW OFF OUR PRODUCTS ON THE OLD TEST CAR.

 

Ok, here's an update on our Stage-2 kit. The J-pipes are ready and we'll be shipping out the 5 kits that have been ordered this week:


It's 16-guage steel for excellent heat-insulation and maximum internal volume (50% more than MAF-4). That means for any CFM it's flowing, the air-velocity can be lower, thus less restrictive than something with less volume. As you can see, there's absolutely nothing to block air-flow:


It goes from 4" diameter at the filter to a 2.75" outlet for aftermarket turbos (doesn't require removing alternator shroud). Also the reduction is a perfectly gradual and linear cone with no staircase-like steps and reductions like other multi-piece J-pipes with separate sections and reducer-adapters.

We'll also be installing 2 more kits this coming Saturday in NorCal if anyone would like to come see the simple installation procedures. Still looking for a dyno-shop for before & after comparisons. If not, we'll just meet up at someone's garage. See y'all! <img src="graemlins/wave.gif" border="0" alt="[byebye]" /> <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

This is good, so Danno Danno (in Mork voice ) can turn our cars into a UFO!!!!!!!!!

 

I want one I want one I want one. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

Can't wait to read the posts from people who install the kit.

 

When are the first kits going to be shipped out?

 

He He He... There may already be some out...

 

Hey Michael...quit foolin' around and get to work on your homemademotorsports web site! <img src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" border="0" alt="[blabla]" />

 

Once Michael installs his kit, we won't hear from him for days! He'll be out driving non-stop until hunger and fatigue forces him home !!! heh, heh... <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" /> <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />

 

Pat - Will do! Just waiting on a few suppliers. <a href="http://www.homemademotorsports.com" target="_blank">www.homemademotorsports.com</a> will be officially announed later on this month.

Danno - ... need food ...need road ...need my damn hard brake line or I won't be able to test drive with my new Link MAP sensor today...

 

Hey Michael - you'll never be able to truly test out that MAP sensor unless you really get it out for a good drive... to Jacksonville or somewhere like that... hint hint.

Hey Danno,

Are you going to have a Purosil adapter to allow the stage 2 to fit a stock turbo. I know that you are recomending the stage 2 for those who have an aftermarket turbo, but it seems to me that the stage 2 is the way to go regardless. First, I like the idea of the intake behind the headlight rather then behind the radiator/intercooler assembly since I would think the air would be much cooler, which would greatly help for whatever type of turbo one is running. Also, if I was to upgrade to a larger turbo at a later date, which is probably likely in a most cases, then the only thing I would have to buy would be a different Purosil reducer. I can't see any downside to using a stage 2 on stock. Thinking on it from a fluids prospective I can't see how the velocity can be too slow. I have quite a bit of experience with the design of systems using large pumps for water and there is no such thing as too little restriction on the suction side of a pump for water, and I assume this would be th same for air. Sorry if I'm overthinking this guys. These Map based systems are very intriguing.

I agree, I just bought a lindsey racing headlight duct preparing for the MAP sensor's air filter to be mounted right in between the headlight and the coolant resivoir. I also plan to upgrade turbos w/in a yr or two, so the stage 2 makes more sense to me as I can just swap out puricil hoses and re-map the fuel curve.
Will it work for those who are planning on upgrading in the near future? That way I only have to upgrade one thing, not two.

 

Jax951 - I'm sure that a road trip could be arranged, although I'm going to show the system off and give rides at the next Orlando GTG. Maybe this will make people want to do it again sooner! <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />
