Joining the turbo club!

[Pickleteg]

Just got my Synapse kit in today. It is AC compatible and I have a 57 trim. Shooting for 300 WHP!!!!!!

[jville95]

How many psi you gonna run?

[brandenj]

no more s/c for you?

[Pickleteg]

No more S/C here. I traded the stock kit for a paint job and a ton of body work. I am going to run whatever it takes to hit 300 WHP

[GAtegs]

How many psi you gonna run?

Why do you ask?

It doesn't matter. He said he is going for 300 whp.

[patrick4588]

synapse makes great manifolds! you should be very happy with it! good luck man

[BABY J]

Don't tune for a number man unless racing puts food on your plate... that's a good way to eat a block. Run a good safe tune - don't run it on the ragged edge just to get a dyno. Loox good tho - GL!

[brandenj]

yeah you can hit that easily w/ the turbo and a built block, gl on it man

[jaystar]

wha motor is it going on

[Pickleteg]

It is going on an LS engine and the block is built with Mahle pistons and Eagle rods so 300 WHP is my goal. The head is Portflow built with Supertech SS valves and springs and Crower 402T cams and I have a 3'' DP into a 3'' Thermal Cat-back. I could run more on this thing but I don't really wanna.

[SiRed94]

can i be in the turbo club?

[Brown Man]

good luck man, the set up looks good

[CosmoLTW]

That's a gorgeous kit and I like the Tial! Hopefully won't be too far behind soon...

[NAG2I]

300whp will be no problem with that setup. similar to mine but mine isnt as ballin as yours yet

[Pickleteg]

I finally got the right bolts from Lowes to get the manifold bolted on....hopefully I can get some pics tonight....

[Pickleteg]

Movin on up! Got her running last night on stock injectors and ECU. I just let her idle though to check for leaks...all was good. Now I need to get my base map, finish wiring in the AVC-R and get this baby on the rollers!

[Just_CHill]

Nice man. Looking amazing.

[dkjohnson04]

hell yeah!!!!!!! looks mean!!

[Pickleteg]

Thanks guys...I tried to put on the bumper on last night but somehow I had the intercooler on a little crooked and I had to pop the pipes off and do some rearranging. Hopefully I can get it on today

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

That is a nice little kit you got there! looks so much better than me and my log haha.

[AnthonyF]

major sexness!

[Pickleteg]

Got her fully operational today...the CEL is on but that is cause I have no O2 sensor yet...the bung needs welded on. Everything is ready to be taken to Carter Race for some minor exhaust work and a good tune. I hope to drop it of Monday of this week.

[RUFFIAN]

thats nice. sooo shiny........ I hope she moves as good as she looks.

[B_Hoov]

synapse is the $hit...i am running alot of there products

holy crap, I bet that thing set u back a good penny...

[patrick4588]

so you dropped it off today? lets see a dyno sheet! let me know how your experience with carter is, im thinking i may need to go there for a tune. its sooo far though. ugh

[Pickleteg]

She is on the dyno right now. I just talked to Justin and the damn distributor messed up again the the rotor flew off. I guess it is new distributor time. Hey said it made 210 Wtq on the 7 pound spring so we will see how she does after she doesn't cut out after 5000

[patrick4588]

that sucks man. keep us posted. how much is the tune costing you"?

[Pickleteg]

The EFI tuning rate is 150 an hour so who knows at this point....I just want the bugs worked out now LOL

[CarterRace]

We have had the privilege to work with Jason (Picketeg) over the last couple of years - first tuning his JRSC LS setup and now tuning his new PeakBoost turbo setup. The motor is a pistons / rods LS with 10:1 compression on stock sleeves, ported head and the regular bolt ons. The new turbo kit works MUCH better then the old JRSC. Paint was done by SneezinDC5 - which looks really good! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good paint job at the right price.



The difference in the supercharger and turbo are very apparent in the following graphs.

SUPERCHARGER - 12PSI
TURBO - 9PSI

So, with less boost on the same exact motor and setup you get the following results.





Amazing isn't it?

The car is making 247hp on the wastegate spring, we have decided to keep it there for now since the clutch in the car is not very good and we don't want to burn it up... Jason is looking for a new clutch now, so the magic (and easily obtainable) 300 mark is next!

[itsnotarex]

This is one smart build. Nice to see someone who goes about things the right way. You're making more power than I am. lol. 247 is a lot for a car that size. Good **** man! Keep us posted.

[ultm8mind]

lookin good man, don't kill yourself, LOL.......

[Pickleteg]

Yeah man...it is fun I will say that

[brandenj]

i keep looking in on this thread, keep up the good work, the exterior looks sweet

i have the synchronic blow off valve and wastegate. the wastegate worked really well when i was running off the spring. i have pwm control thru my ecu this time around, and we will see how it does.
