That think was crankin' out some power! Not too many mods either. Check out the dyno video, it's purdy awesome.

that is a nice set up... wouldnt mind having that on my car.

Thats definitely a lot of power for the mods done. Its a pretty big turbo though. Might be a bit laggy.

I would love to see the torque curve, that will tell when it spools.

If anything that'll make it drivable ;)

I looked at the dyno and it seems as if it doesn't have a bit of bottom end power. ehh, PASS!

low end power is overrated, unless your at the drag strip. i would much prefer medium and up to high power over real low torque, its much more versatile and streetable to have power over 4000.... I dont know about any of you guys, but i dont go around launching hard from stops all the time, but i DO gun it from a rolling start several times a day

chadow427 01-24-2007 05:16 PM

Ditto. The car can put down sufficient torque without boost, then when it hits boost..... :twisted:

I'm like this too but what if you have to wait to 3-4k for the turbo to reach full boost?
A friend of mine has a gt40ed qv30dek maxima that reaches full boost just over 3k. The lag is pretty noticeable and zzp's turbo is bigger. Granted the 3.8 does have more displacement but the T66 probably spools later.

I guess It does really all come down when and how you want your power to come in.
I do like mid/top end but I'm not sure I like power comming on real fast at a certian rpm.

also take note. If the power comes a bit later that just means less stress on all the transmission parts. Which could be an important factor for those who do not have a rebuilt 4g tranny to drive with.
