DHM EFR Turbo Kits!!! Finally here!!!
- Thread starter DHM1
- Start date
Oh yeah!
I originally was going to build my own adapter to the stock ported manifold and then decided a compact tubular one was better and was considering building one but it is a very serious amount of demanding work and then has to be welded very very well so I would of paid for that part like the last manifold I built.
I was so impressed with what Russ was doing I had to call and ask about building the EFR manifold for me and so others could get them as well, DP also and he gladly took on the job and look at what we get a complete very well made kit!!!
The manifold is just 10lbs, 11.1oz on my calibrated shipping scale, amazingly low weight, I would love to see what the stock manifold and ATP adapter weighs in comparison!

300wtq with only 300whp isn't necessary, just a lump of low end torque you would almost never see or use. The powerband we were discussing above is far superior, will have better traction and more importantly feel much better with an even pull to redline versus the feeling of falling on its face.

Crap. We only have 91 and E85 here. I am wanting to pass 300whp.
On a side note with my Speed3 I can get 60-70whp more out of an e30 mix. Is the difference here that the ethanol adds thickness to the fuel and it can't push it in the amount that it needs?
---------------Edit----------
What about 91 and methanol?
We also have many ethanol free 91 stations here, but I was under the impression that ethanol was beneficial in keeping knock down in a turbo'd car.

Yes it is. But you need a lot more fuel to make the same power when running ethanol. We have a limited fuel system can only flow so much fuel. This has nothing to do with "thickness" or viscosity of the fuel. It has everything thing to do with the BSFC of ethanol compared to gasoline. 91 Oct this kit would make over 300whp no problem.

It will make all I need on 91 which I am tuning on as that is what I have here and many states I will be taking the car to in the back of our trailer.
I also will have the 5th injector setup when it is ready, it will make more power but I want it more for the help of keeping the valves clean, 300 WHP on a road race track is a lot of power!
---------------
I am finally over a nasty bug and working on the car, it will be running by tomorrow hopefully!
I have some fabrication work to do, my car is highly modified and the EFR kit is a bolt on for a less modified car so it will be an easy install for most everyone

Still a lot of tuning to be done so I will hold off posting any plots, etc, until done so more realistic info is available which will be more fair to DHM and to those considering it and comparing to other options. I wish it was already done but I was sick, then sold the house so getting ready to move, a very big move, and they tore up the roads and I cannot even get to the place I make the runs at some days.
Sorry, I hope we can get to that stage soon!

So, there's only 50 dollars price wise seperating the two kits as far as I can tell, what would the reasoning for not going for the higher rated HP one be?
Also, the kits include DP, which I assume is necessary for the bigger turbo, however, we would need to be running an IC better than stock already in order to run such a kit correct? So other than tacking in the price of an IC, nothing else would be needed for these kits other than the protune?
Thanks in advance!
