Moon, be careful w/ IPT. It may have been bad luck, but I had them build me a torque converter for my 31TH (the auto tranny in a Dodge Neon) and it grenaded less than 500 miles after the install. I had zero luck after several calls to John there in having them look at the converter for possibly being at fault (the tranny was flawless before the install and the TC was installed by a master mechanic for me). Anyhoo, food for thought and my .02 as I've steered clear of them ever since. Again it may have been bad luck surrounding me at the time, but ask lots of questions before purchase.

asanti: When I get to that point I'll sure check it out. Thnaks "Moon"

 

Any updates on the tune and final outcome?

 

Not sure what you mean? If your waiting for dyno numbers, it won't be till after I get a clutch installed or I have time to set my G-tech up correctly.

Other then above I've been driving around with a Trifecta 26 psi tune on the BNR GT2871 with Tial Q BOV (8 psi spring) and NO MAF relocate for around 2 weeks now. Pulls hard all the way to my 7k rpm redline.

I've had zero issues with the BNR turbo itself, the only problem I had initially was getting the BOV set up correctly, which is resolved.

The BNR GT2871 spools up about 300-500 rpm's later and is noticeably stronger in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear over the stock K04 (plus the BNR GT2871 pulls all the way to my 7k rpm redline). 1st gear has been limited and 2nd gear is where most of the toning down of the tune is currently at.

The current 26 psi tune isn't an aggressive tune, its been toned down for now, while I'm on the stock clutch, then will be re-tuned and turned up after a clutch install.

Vince does this for ALL his tunes if your on stock clutch, some people don't realize this, but if you get an aftermarket clutch he will re-tune you more aggressively.

I can still spin 2nd gear anytime I want by stomping on the gas, that includes while just cruising in 2nd, then stomping the gas and I have 245/40-18's. 3rd gear offers a little better hook and go, pulls amazingly hard all the way through 4th. So the BNR 2871 still retains some of that quick spool up, but pulls much harder mid to upper range.

 

sound like fun glad it turned out well nice job

 

bump

rumor has it HHRSSouth is hitting the dyno today.......

 

how about a guess 350hp 395 torque if he retuned

 

you can "easily" put those numbers down on the stock k04 turbo

i'm guessing.....
375whp/420wtq if it's on a safe tune.
395whp/440wtq on an aggressive tune

 

Thats good news it makes me anxious to meet with vince. Hey I got a new dumb question I have noticed a small whistle that starts at about 12lbs boost and stays till I lift and disappears instant when the relief valve goes. I never noticed it with the stock down pipe Am I hearing the turbo spin ? my exhaust is loud compared to stock could be why I didn't hear it with the stock rubber snake ??

 

Nice! I was reading all 15 pages over at CSS.net about ZZP's EFR teaser. Interesting stuff! I'm surprised no one on here has picked up on it. But back on topic- looking to see those dyno numbers and how well the 2871R spools compared to the K04.
