The 7670 sits right in between the 7163 and 8374 in both spoolup and overall power output. Users have reported seeing consistent spoolup around 3300rpm while holding full boost up to 6500+rpm on the street. IMHO it's the perfect street/DD choice. Works great on the road courses as well.
Yes, absolutely. As you can see from the compressor maps the larger turbo is more efficient and will automatically make more power for a given boost level and equal mods, BUT the larger turbo also has extra lag. IMHO from building, tuning, and daily driving turbo cars for 20+ years I prefer the powerband of a medium size turbo for a DD. It's quick enough to provide instant power, yet still big enough to kill 90% of the cars you'll encounter on the road. I think you'll prefer the 7670.
Unfortunately I don't have data on other intercoolers so it's hard to compare. When we ran our intercooler torture test we pushed them through the toughest conditions we could muster. The data from our tests show how well they perform under the worst conditions. Be aware that there is no 'standard' way to test an intercooler, so look closely at all the background data before drawing conclusions about other cores. One key feature that stands out in our intercooler test results is the ability to remove heat from the charge air during extended pulls. This shows that our intercooler works more like a radiator to continuously shed heat. This is due to the large frontal area and relatively thin core. (if you can call a 3.5" thick core 'thin') that allows ambient airflow to pass through the core easily and remove heat. The benefits of this design show up anytime you push the car hard, like a 1/4 mile race, back-to-back pulls on a hot day, or just cranking up the boost on the stock turbo.
Ed, give me a call at the shop tomorrow. I have one disc remaining in stock right now.So you already pulled trans
I didn't see disk on there site, just looking around .
Do you remember dia size ,offhand , just curious .
Thanks for info .
It doesn't scare me, but its really concerning, because before SEMA everyone was keeping us updated and whatnot but it seems like after SEMA everyone went quiet all of a sudden. That's why I question if it was an issue that came up with the platform recently that impacts it greatly and that's why theyre staying quiet or what. MAP went silent shortly after Adam left, Livernois hardly comes in anymore to update their progress on their shop car, FFTec hasn't said anything in a couple months, and RIP hasn't come back since their motor blew, and some of the smaller companies haven't said anyting. Right now the only company that has been somewhat vocal for the time being is Full-Race, and I applaud them for that, even if ive bitched on how long its taking them to release their turbo kit in the past. Its concerning, but nothing that's scaring me.
Thanks for the update. I'll be looking forward to hearing about it once you get it back.I can tell you that the car is complete and on its way back to me now. As it sits it should be around 425 on straight 93 octane. I'll post up a new thread once it shows up with my first hand impressions. If FFTEC has more input I'm sure they'll chime in.
That actually is not the case at all...we have been fairly active on both halves of the board.
I didn't go silent ;). I am also working with Full-Race on my build.
