VI Engineered Top Mount Single Turbo Kit
- Thread starter doublespaces
- Start date
And since the gauntlet was thrown, I think this was the last dyno that Tony posted of his twins. There were no qualifications given, just that you'd beat a twin car.
And I dug this up too.
And no, I don't run Tony's turbos. And yes, I'll be going to a single setup this winter. But a gauntlet thrown is a gauntlet thrown and it makes for interesting drama.....so I'm fanning the flames a bit
. (edit to add: and competition is good for the consumer)
Haha we have a few set ups going on to some built cars soon here. I can’t wait to get the numbers. I’ve been playing with the idea of picking up a 6speed car. I may be selling my ls powered fd rx7.
I've got an N54 6MT LCI sedan I'll sell you. Lol.
I look forward to seeing what you can offer the platform.
Received my kit from Jon earlier this week. Everything came nicely packaged. Craftsmanship is spot on.
Any updates, installations, dyno’s, reviews, etc on this kit? I’m going to be purchasing either this kit or the doc race kit within the next month or two. Strongly leaning towards this kit.
Also, I see that they have an OCC / coolant tank listed on their site now that looks pretty nice.

Yeah, that air filter is fine for a track car. I actually trying to get a set made for my EFR setup right now.
But for a street car, you are better off with something that actually filters air a bit better. If you don't have the space for a direct mount filter, you can just run a 90 degree coupler and run a filter on top of the radiator shroud or route it to the driver side instead, which is what I am doing. If your space is tight even for a 90 degree coupler, you can use a snake head coupler like this.

A thin foam with that sort of porosity would flow fine. The problem is that it wont filter that well. But as I said, it is fine for a weekend on a clean track. But not good for a daily driver with all the dust, dirt, and sand you can suck up from the street.
I love rotary too, but there is nothing great about a FD if you take out its rotary engine.
LOL, literally had no idea this dude was talking out of his ass. John, I have $5000 that says you cannot produce a better graph than this with your kit, and yes that year old 173MPH pass, let me know when put its dick in the dirt... Youbetter hurry up though. Race season is coming in CA, and it will be surpassed by a wide margin...And since the gauntlet was thrown, I think this was the last dyno that Tony posted of his twins.

This is just another quality made product, not just another top mount. I wouldn't call it over saturated, as it seems each one has its good quality, and it's week. I've read on numerous treads on single made manifolds, and see there is sustainable workman ship on these, the only think that I would like to know but not mentioned is, isn't the wastgates suppose to be evenly displaced and not a 90 degree? I'm not hear to start a war, but it's knowledge.Thank you.
