Removing turbo

[Boosted]

Can you feel the clutch slipping or your doing it for preventative measures? Turbo sounds nice and loud!

you should get the torque app or a dash hawk and measure some 0-60, 1/4 times..

well.... lets just say my budget going into the project was around 1,500.00, and im over triple that... The only issue is that really to gain 150+whp is usually around 10k dollars on a v8, plus supporting mods. Assuming were throwing a blower on it. Relatively its cheap... However, being that im one of very few ppl to do this on this vehicle, im running into all sorts of issues that are really nickle and diming me.

Well i truly appreciate your compliment. I have a passion for cars just like all of us here. I wish i could keep shit stock, because i would probably save a huge headache sometimes, lol. As far as an update I'll explain below. I havent gotten to play with suspension yet, but when the car does hook in second gear, it is a rocketship to 100+mph.

haha.



As far as an update. I was quoted on a stage 4 clutch, but sold a stage 4+ south bend clutch and went with an aluminum flywheel. When we pulled the old flywheel off it was trashed after just 2 days of driving on it. The clutch, however, looked perfect- it just will not hold the power. The new clutch was fantastic for the first 10 miles that it lasted (and the aluminum flywheel was badass). Unbeknownst to me, the stage 4+ clutch is a race clutch with double the pressure of a stock clutch and definitely not what i wanted on my daily driver.
The clutch went to the floor on my way home from the shop, damn near almost causing me to get into an accident and i got stranded on the side of the road, ultimately blowing the throw out bearing. I have to haul the car back up to ZZP, and pray that they stand by there work and will swap out my clutch for something that is more oriented towards my goals, that were clearly stated before i began modding. ZZP seems like they are a good company and wanted to work with me to tweek my tune until we get it perfect. So as of right now my car will be up there until it is 100% ready to be driven home.

theyll take care of you im sure your the reason they make money on our GS

i kno everyone has been so active with the new turbo but how was the oem turbo? can it hold up to some boost? cant see myself upgrading turbo YET but down the line who knows, but id like to do work on it anyhow anything i could help with being in nj lemme know

 

[kranz38]

Stock turbo ain't bad, hell you could even do the wheel mod for a cheaper alternative. But, when the zfr hits, it's like a freight train.

 

[MayorMcCheese]

hows it feel compared to the SS , i saw a couple videos on it - but that turbo when it hits its gotta hold your breath a second lol - kyle whered u get the turbo? is this a turbo coming soon to production for the GS or one of the listed bolts on on werks site?

 

[Turbomania]

It's a zzp zfr turbo... I think it woulda given the ss a run for its money... I'm at the exact same hp, and lighter.

Hey, you have your seat belt on in this video!

Very nice. I am thoroughly impressed. I would LOVE to feel when that ZFR kicks in, it's awesome with the tune on the stock turbo, I can't imagine what the ZFR feels like.

How's the torque steer on this? I have to imagine it is now insane...the HiPer struts must have a limit with how much torque steer it can handle, and I am sure you're testing its limit lol
