Maybe this one does not blow the engine

More boost (0.65bar), different programming.

I heard that had a 3.19% decline though... So it really wouldn't be valid... Want to post a dyno with a boost reading of your kit? You claimed the kit I had was 6 psi, I have a dyno reading where it was actually 8.2 psi.

Come on man, is that really necessary?

I don't have a boost gauge hooked up to my dyno, but have measured it with an analog and got between 7-8psi consistently, which is what the SK2 is rated at. The claim of 6psi was made when you originally got the kit back in April 09, which is what I was told by GP initially. Whatever the case, the kit is officially rated at 0.5bar, which is close to what you measured.

Oh, so your saying have the car? I thought you said Gpower has the car and is sending you the information.. That's what the OT said also, he went for a ride in it...
Since Gpower is in Germany, and your in LA.. Your dyno has nothing to do with this, right? You sure this isn't Chris's car with the built motor?

Huh? I don't have this car. It's in Germany and does belong to Chris, but it's running stock compression @ 0.65bar. If it was "built", it would be slower due to the lowered CR. This setup is running the same blower as the SK2 and SK2.5 kits (T1-522) but slightly smaller pulley on stock CR. A DCT is currently getting the same setup, those 60-130 runs will come shortly for comparison vs. the 6MT.

Where do you see a dyno? I didn't post anything re: my car in this thread.

+1 There is no need for that...this is an intelligent disscusion among intelligent men, if you have nothing valid to add to the thread then keep it to yourself please.

Technik those are impressive times, can you please provide us with more data so we can evaluate the figures. Thank You

I got confused about the SKII and SKIII. Nevermind.

I've heard that Chris has a built motor, but if you say he doesn't then he doesn't.

So get us a dyno logging the boost (9.5 psi) you claimed earlier above achieving these 60-130 numbers. Simple.

I have the actual .dbn files from Chris, but don't have the VBox reader. However, Drew's been kind enough to post up the screenshots. I sent the latest 6.83 run over a few mins ago. If anyone else wants the raw data, I can email it as well.

If the car was here, you'd already have that, but I'm in LA and the car is in Germany. I will ask Chris to send over more data for the skeptics.

This is a custom kit that the owner of GP designed for his own car and one of his customers with a DCT. It's a direct bolt-on system, runs on stock compression and 0.65bar of boost. I'll be testing it out soon in LA, so I can give better feedback once it's actually on my own car.

It was 3.04%, 0.04% over the limit.

M3 Piotr · 03-31-2010, 05:48 PM

Here's the car itself and Mr "G-Power" driving it giving us joy rides.

The owner was running the car non-stop for 3 hrs. Check out the 3rd pic, someone is touching the pipes and they are cool to touch after 3hrs of running it hard.

I had the file checked out myself and with a very honest forum member that is a very straight up guy!

we would really want this to be the best for everyone.

if the number is valid we won't say its not.

60-130 times have very strict rules and I am pretty sure you know that.

thanks again for sharing. the 6.95 secs time is fucking blazing fast already!!!

All good, I thought Josh was referring to the 6.95s run as having a -3.19% decline, when it was actually -2.08%. The 6.83s run had a decline of -3.04%. If people want to throw out the other run based on that decline exceeding the threshold by .04%, then feel free. Not like this thread or the other one are an official database, just posting up the latest time and giving people all the facts so they can form their own opinion on these two sub-7s 60-130 runs.
