Please take a pic of your engine bay. I want to see what intercooler, intake and other stuff you are using with this setup.

Here's a picture i just snapped. I'll try to get a sound clip soon. I'm waiting for my tripod to come in. I'll be posting more pictures on my Instagram @rnguyennnn versus here as it's easier.

Regarding the 60-130 time, yes i did floor it at 50mph with the turbos spooling. I was not trying to get the best 60-130 time that day. I was logging more than anything and decided to give it a try.

I have a roll race coming up in September here in Dallas that i'll be attending so i'm focusing more on dialing in the tune for that. The car is currently running a tune by Paul Johnson as i wanted to see what different tuners would be able to produce with my setup. Halim did an amazing job and both tunes made about 900whp/800wtq a few weeks ago. Keep in mind it was done in anywhere from 90-100+degree weather so IAT's are high. If it was boost season i'm 100% positive the car will break 1000whp on PUMP E85. I HIGHLY recommend both tuners.

hey man, get Cary Jordan to tune your car also then post up a dyno chart with all 3 tunes over lapping each other.

Nice setup, is that maximum psi charge pipe?

Sounds like a good idea, it is possible i may do it later down the road along with Jordan from RKTUNES and Cary. However for now i'm done adding any more mods to this car. Performance wise, i believe i have done everything besides WMI simply because i find it inconvenient filling it up. I would prefer to use the BMS Stealth kit for an additional 3-4gal of fuel.

I had my engine built before the PS2+ released and dealt with valve float etc. I am not going to push the envelope anymore for kicks and gimmicks as the car has been through a long journey to get where it's at. Right now i'm just going to enjoy the car. Both Halim and Paul are great tuners and the car is running strong. If it aint broke, i aint fixing it.

Yes. I am running their J-Pipe as well. Mike really did me a favor for these and overnighted it to me 2-3 hours before they closed. Excellent customer service and shop.

Time was not on my side to fine tune the 93OCT map as i had to get ready for the rally. I made the switch back to E85 already as 93OCT feels like flashing back to stock...

60-130 times to come shortly. The car is running excellent and i've put over 4000miles on the turbos already with zero hiccups.

Excuse my stupidity but... did you really need to get a built motor to run 680whp on 93?

No you do not need a built motor to push 700whp on 93OCT. That can be achieved with 93OCT and WMI. I built my motor to run >900whp on E85 or whatever else fuel i want to use. The built motor allows me to not have to worry about breaking anything or my motor being a ticking time bomb.

I have 3 maps that i use. 4BAR 93OCT, 4BAR E85 and 4BAR E85 flames. The car is daily driven on my E85 map(40psi). The E85 flame map is just for show and the 93OCT map is for rallies and road trips. When you’re on a rally with every other car pushing >600whp, it’s going to be impossible finding E85 at every gas station. That is why i flashed to my 93OCT map.

I hope this explains things better. There are more threads than i can count on this forum with cars making 6-700ish WHP on a stock block. It is not necessary to build your engine to do so but IMO it is not wise. Especially if you’re using the kickdown or driving it hard but to each their own.

[jpy1980]

So what is your process when it comes to emptying the tanks of one fuel to put in the other type of fuel? If there’s only e85 left on the tank, do you wait till it gets completely empty like 5 miles left to switch the map and go 93? Do you switch maps at the gas station?

what is the highest you would go (93 or e85 or a blend of the two) on a stock block before entering unwise territory?

WMI scares me, what are your thoughts on port injection?

Run the tank empty to --- on the dash, fill the tank with 93OCT, start the car while the car still has the E85 tune with PI on, let the 93OCT cycle through the PI a bit so that no E85 gets stuck and cloggs up your lines. Turn off the car, turn off PI, switch to 93 tune and drive away. I do switch maps at the pump. Some people may do it a different way, whatever works for you then i'd keep doing it.

If you look closely at the engine bay picture i posted, there's a small switch i toggle to turn PI on and off. It's very convenient.

I wouldn't go past 650whp/600wtq on a stock block+clutches. That's just me. Everyone has their own opinion. I would rather overbuild then underbuild. It's the torque that you would have to really watch. Torque is what kills. Horsepower is just a fancy number.

I did not do WMI because i find it inconvenient having to fill up the separate tank. It definitely helps 100% there's no denying that but as a daily driver i don't want to mess with it. PI has not given me any issues. I know a lot of people top off their tank of E85 with the grape top lube scent or whatever but i have a bottle and i never used it. The rate i run through a fuel of tank(2-3days max) i don't think it matters in my case.

I've read across multiple threads to not go any higher than 600-650wtq, which is exactly in line with what you are saying (it is almost as if... you are very knowledgable on this topic or something)

I feel like 600-650wtq is not very expensive to achieve (maybe $10k-$20k all ine), but I feel like I commonly see 600-650wtq next to a number closer to 700-800whp.

Now, I do understand what you are putting down that "horserpower is just a fancy number" in correlation to torque, no doubt. This is a dumb question on my end but... how much faster is an 800whp/650wtq car than a 650whp/650wtq car in things like 60-130mph pulls?

Reviving this thread. I didn't get a chance to make it to my roll race event but i will have 60-130 times soon. Here's recent dyno numbers from today. It is still hot here in Dallas with DA above 2000. Tuned by Paul Johnson.

The only change in performance mods since the original post was adding Evolution of Speed's Intake Manifold and bigger injectors to go along with it.

Wowwww!!!

So let’s say to the crank youre making about 1200hp!! Wowwww.

That’s Veyron power!!

[Commanderwiggin]

What's the deal on the Kratos? Which turbos are you running now?

[rnguyennnn]

I replied to your post in my other thread about my car.

[Walmart Parking Lot]

This is so inspiring. Probably going to go a similar route. Great job!

R compound is at its best when you bring them up to temp. You may get better straight line traction efficiency by switching to 305mm width street tires, like PS4S or S007a. I'd also recommend maintaining tire pressure between 29-30 psi cold, but you're the one that has a 900whp daily driver

Do you have a dyno chart of your 93oct tune?

How’s the car holding up? Any issues?

Car is running like new thanks to Billy Mason, Motiv Motorsport and Bend Calibration. I highly recommend them as they were able to get the car running better than ever.

what turbos are you using now with the Billy Mason built motor?

[Joy15779]

Good morning guys! Nice meeting you! I really really love this place.

I recently purchased an M4 2016 F82

Immediately done:

eVenturi intake
Akrapovick Skat
Okada projects Plasma Coils
colder sparks
Mishimoto IC+Water cooler
BIESSE ECU STAGE 2 Running @ 542 hp before the IC and the coils

By the way, time for a crank hub no? Which one do you suggest?

Now the Big issue is where to get the best Software code...

Waiting for your precious gently support

Thanks in advance
