    Crash's twin turbo Gen V on Hp tuners

    After speaking with William on and off the last few months he finally pulled the trigger after Viper nationals. What makes his set up slightly different is it is on HP tuners. All of our kits come with our Motec package, Tiltons, motor mounts etc, etc. We talked about trying to make a more affordable package and he was willing to make his car the test mule. What we came up with is our billet collector, Xona Rotor turbo kit with drop in pumps and injectors. Stock clutch, stock fuel lines and stock mounts. William dropped the car off after Viper Nationals and we got on it the week after. His build was completed in 3 weeks (two of them not being on the schedule we try to follow as close as possible) and last night we got the car on the dyno. I am not going to post any number yet (I know whats the point?) but we got pretty far last night and will be trying to wrap some of it up today. I will give my opinions once the car is finished on the whole set up and stock PCM vs stand alone.

    Antonio I can tell you a lot of us are very thankful and excited for this build. Not everyone can afford $50-$100k TT builds so it's nice having this option for those of us wanting to go TT. Looking forward to how it does at TX2K.

    Glad to see Calvo using HP Tuners. I am anxious to hear your feedback on the stock ECU with twins.

    Final pump and race numbers. 8lbs on pump 11-12 lbs on race in a 90 degree room.

    I will say this, there is still a long road a head of us. Car act's fine on the dyno but has some issues on the street. Will mentioned some of the issues he was having when the car was stock and we think it MIGHT be related to that but we are not sure. We are going to try a few things right now but calling it a wrap till after tx2k. Please keep in mind we only started on this journey last night and there looks like hope in the HPT program but my first impressions is nothing like my Motec car.

    There are those of us that certainly appreciate you guys taking the "path less traveled". Hopefully you are able to work the bugs out and HPTuners can be a viable option for low boost cars.

    Oh man how exciting! Will be following this thread closely

    I just have two questions and please forgive me its not my intention to take anything away from this awesome achievement for our GEN Vs but I do plan on going TT one day.

    1. When do you feel we will get a price for this package?

    2. If I'm not mistaken (correct me if I am wrong please) a GEN II 96-99 forged internals TT setup on stock motor saw nearly if not the same amount of power. What was holding the car back from making 1000whp on pump?

    We are still testing but thinking if it does work and we release it somewhere in the range of 30-32k. A giant chunk of the 54k big boy package is the turbo kit. The amount of labor hours in building and installing it is somewhere in the realm of 150 hours, then add turbos, WG, billet collectors, intercooler, BOV's and materials. This package, if it does work will use our same turbo kit, just a Spec or Mcloed clutch, with drop in injectors and pumps. On to the question about why did we stop at that power level? Simple answer is we are at the limit of the stock fuel line (returnless system) and just feel this was a good safe stopping point. We don't have all safety features and are very limited in what HP can show us so that's why we stopped!

    Antonio thanks a lot for the explanation ^^^

    Really hope you decide to produce this kit and everything goes well with the R&D!! Thanks.

    The kit is identical to our 1200 kit. Same turbos, manifolds, mittens exhaust. Just no motec, full fuel system, mounts, heat shield, Tilton Clutch and trans work. It allows you to jump into the kit and keep adding on. I do suggest though to do mounts at the same time since they are very easy to get to.

    What trans work comes with the "full kit ?"

  18. #18
    Only the fifth gear ratio as the stock ratio is too long. Antonio correct me if i'm wrong.

    Upgraded blocker ring/synros and shorter ratio gear.

    So were the issues on HP Tuners solved?

    A&C Performance seems to have figured out HP Tuners.

    Sadly the car is no longer with us. Was wrecked about 2 weeks after being finished.

    For heads and cam correct. Not boost. Also James is the one tuning both the HP stuff for Todd and I. And to be honest after driving tt vipers without no boost by gear, traction control or a good ecu, I would highly suggest against it.

    I understand. Thanks for clarifying.

    Can you clarify, is Todd at A&C Performance doing his own tuning on the head and cam cars he posted or is it being farmed out to this guy James? Only interested in head and cam packages, not concerned with boosted installs.
