Hib,

You are spot on... The idea grew out of the Turbo Project. It's much more than that now.

This should help us all...

FYI - My stock 93 is on their dyno this week so we are getting close...

Cheers,
Ron

Ron, are you any closer to the completed vehicle?

Yes, Corey pulled the engine last month and is in the process of rebuilding. He also has all the Raptor Turbo Piping on the shelf.

Here are some of the specifics:

Ron Bidwell's (customer) goal is 600 RWHP plus
Henderson Performance Low Compression 368
Twin Turbo Raptor System upgraded for a non-stock LT5 application
Custom IC from Henderson Performance
Raptor/Megasquirt ECM

Cheers,
Ron

Wow talk about leaning forward..... If Corey is involved as Frank stated this is very exciting and give the LT5 more options in the future.

Ron, cant wait to see the outcome. The Purple Aerobody is slated for TT treatment once I get my next two projects complete. Well one project the Shinoda complete and a finished Z that I have on my radar.
Story of my life, lots of ideas and a budget to deal with.

I have a nice LSV 390 that would need "freshening" soon.

like to install the big FBI liners for a TT 427

short stroke with a big piston and about 8.5 compression with LOTS of boost should work just fine. need the alchy injection to go with it. the megasquirt might help there too or ECS has a nice setup.

I really NEED a Twin Turbo ZR-1. I love my TT Z06, but the ZR-1 still has my heart. it just needs to be alot faster

I never thought I would say 500 rwhp isn't enough, but the ZR-1 it kinda heavy and the TT Z06 walks it pretty bad.

ZZZZZR1 · 01-28-2013

Because of this ECM, I think many more will consider a TT option.

Myself included! Can't wait!

Words from the Megasquirt Guy's about being at BG this year.

"We are considering a fairly major presence there, including transporting our dyno for on site setup to facilitate on the spot sales and tuning services. We would also offer a presentation in an auditorium."

David,

I'll be offering a package deal for Turbo Systems ordered with the new ECM. I'll think you'll be pleased with the price. I may be able to publish final pricing tomorrow...

FYI - I called to discuss your options. No answer so I left you a brief message...

Cheers,
Ron

TTT any updates??? Ron, also ask corey what he thinks of using the Stg II cams retimed for less overlap (should work pretty well)

I see AES has the "big closed deck" liners which might really help combined with studs from Ron Woods for HG sealing.

I'm curious if my TI rods would live at 900 hp, have to ask Graham about recommendations there.

thinking of going with a pair of 50 lb injectors as that would provide plenty of fuel with a pair of big bosche pumps in back.

the megasquirt can also control "alchy injection" which would be a great option to really crank the boost

works very well on the C5 TT tiger shark. now all I have to do is sell a kidney to afford all this!!
