??? Just to ask, why?

tC4italy

Kenny of ZPI is uhm.....gone, failed.

poke your nose in the fi forum and ask about a guy named kenny.

Daurigon

No, not Kenny at ZPI, Kenny at JoTech racing here in Garland Texas....oh wait, Kenny....the whole ZPI thing. I know, I know. But at least he won't be the one doing it.

FYI, kenny tran does not build turbos as you said before, he builds motors and turbo kits, using brand name companies to build them.


for his 533hp tC he used mainly HKS parts, did you even know that? please do not have jotech build you a tC and not even know whats in it.

brett561tc

had a fullrace mani as well.

Daurigon

Excuse me, what do you know. He has a custom made turbo manifold and he just recently upgraded the turbo himself a few days ago. For my tC, he was not going to do the same thing, just retrofit the turbonetics kit onto the 07 and use DEZOD's parts for the valves and valve spring retainers, rods, pistons, etc. to do the internal work for the car and tune it properly. I know what is going to go in my turbo kit. Like I said again, please don't comment if you don't know the more facts.

Daurigon

And yes I know, even with all the parts above, I could not reach 500+ HP which is why I was thinking about doing more head work and getting a proper race manifold and bigger turbo and proper wastergate so that I could be running high boost.

brett561tc

he told you a t-netics kit was gonna get you 500whp+?

Daurigon

Did you read what I posted above?

brett561tc

you must of snuck it in on me. so why even put a t-netics kit on at all??

tC9o9

you will not see anywhere near 500whp with a log manifold that the turbonetics kit uses.

Daurigon

I guess you are right....might as well just buy the 07 piping from DEZOD and build it myself....

Daurigon

I know, which is why I said that I was thinking of getting a different one.

brett561tc

nope. you might as well just get a custom kit made with 3" ic piping. you can forget about 07 anything as you wont see 500whp with a maf sensor anyway.

Daurigon

Yeah....would turbotoyotas be the way to go???

Daurigon

I haven't reasearched their kit so I dont know if anything Stage 2 or higher comes with a MAF sensor

brett561tc

your car comes with a maf sensor.

Daurigon

Thank you, I know its the sensor that connects to the top of the intake. I was wondering how would you make that much power if you said not with the MAF. Would Stage II be a better choice or Stage III. That's what I was asking.

brett561tc

you would have to get a full standalone, convert maf to map, return style fuel setup w/pump psi regulator and injectors, build the block and the head, and use something other than a plastic intake mani before you could take any kit on the market to 500whp.
