Actually no, none of what I utilized for my set up is part of any kit, :hammerdrill: I put toghether my own set up. The kits you normally find, are -- IMOP -- too limited; therefore, :pistoldouble: too expensive for the $.
By the time I'm finished, I'd have spent the same $ as for a turbo kit, but with 3 times the power (6psi vs 18psi) :rock:. Within that figure I'm taking into account even the exhaust system, water/meth, gauges, labor, etc., none of which are included in any kit available for the TB45 :thumbdown: .

Hi Jose

So what figures are you expecting to generate?
Max Torque, max Bhp?

By rule of thirds, at 1.2Bar, should be getting at flywheel 433bhp aprox, torque should increase accordingly, so probably on the neighborhood of 400-500 lb-ft. We'll see, since I switched to lighter conrods, lower crawl ratio (48.98), bigger tires (15 38.5" 16LT), only a dyno will be able to give an aproximate, althought not too trustworthy due to the bigger tires, all I know is that it holds ass :lol:
