What I have been doing...SpdKilz Custom TT Z06 (UPDATE! New Pics)
Ok guys, here it is. I have held out as long as I could but as summer slowly passes me by I thought I might at least give an update on why there have been a lack of videos.
This is just a TEASER video…I am not going into many specifics about the kit and what not. Once it is up and running, tuned, dynoed, etc. I will make a full on topic with tons of pictures and more video.
I am still stock bottom and rear end. I was not going to do this kit but could not pass up the opportunity from a small shop called CM Racing (lets just say you would be shocked how cheap it was overall….and no for now I am not telling the price). Originally I was going to build up the rear then bottom end and finally do FI. As you can see I went another route. I believe it to be one of very few custom made turbo kits for a Corvette, and one of the first to incorporate FMIC’s behind the Z06 screen openings.
For now, I will be running LEGITIMATE low PSI, about .3 bar which is right around 5psi. Granted the wastegate springs do not always give a 100% accurate PSI rating thus it could be another PSI or so.
I have high ass compression, and with my current [previous] upgrades I am damn near 11:1…haha. Again, that is why I am running low boost for now and if I blow the motor…well, another reason to upgrade next year.
I am essentially going to be maxing out the motor, fuel system, rear end, and transmission. On such low boost I still expect to be upper 500’s, low 600’s rwhp with power. Before the GT35R’s I was 442rwhp, 410rwtq, so I don’t think it’s out of the question to get the gains as I’ve stated.
Things that need to be done still:
- Fix belt slippage after relocating the alternator.
- Figure out why in hell one of the turbos is having draining issues
- Run A/C line
- Install Innovative Wideband Sensor Gauge
- Install Quartermaster 8.5 Extreme Twin Disc Clutch
- Install DTE Rear Brace
- Get street HP tune, then off to get it dynotuned.
As you can see there is still a decent amount to be done, but I honestly hope to have it done within a month or so. That way I can get a good two or three months in before having to store it for winter…I hope…heh.
