And about 3 times that to get them installed?

thread hi-jacking is bogus, especially to promote a product. Let that pilo-piston talk go to the pilo-vendor forum

 

John,

I did see this happening... My posts with information have been moved to a seperate thread. I only wanted to answer a question that was brough up, but it ended up taking up too much space on this thread. New Thread

Regarding the Kit, Have you worked out the heat shielding?

 

no-comprendo "the kit"

I saw you were working on anti-hijacking and wanted to give it a boost.

 

Dude, chill. It's related to what we're talking about. It's a valid concern about the factory internals. It's not off topic at all and if you're going to ***** at someone then ***** at me. I asked him about it.

It's not like he hopped in here and said "you guys are crazy to do this without my product!"

K? :smile:

 

To Helix / PSI FI

Have you worked out the heat shielding for the Turbo Kit

 

hi-jacking is hi-jacking; my comment was also directed to other than pilo...and I'm no dude.

the point of the twincharger setup is to make and report on a "simple" bolt-on kit to an otherwise stock motor, not to discuss the merits of an engine overhaul.

 

1 quick question.....


why is everyone so ****?

now back to discussion

 

Dudette? :smile:

What we "did" doesn't constitute a Hijack. It's on topic. Just as the discussion of changing the pulley from 19/17/15% back to stock is recommended/suggested/required.

It's a VALID question. 20LBS of boost is often more than most factory cars can handle in my experience. Of late I've worked on a Mazdaspeed Protege, a Civic B16VTEC (Supercharged), a B18VTEC (Turbo), a Mustang GT Supercharger project, and an A4 buildup. We saw all kinds of issues like broken rods due to fatigue after a few thousand miles (often), crank walk, and clutch slippage.

A piston change is pretty mild compared to cleaning up after a thrown rod.
If anything we may be doing you a favor.

 

No? Here is a rare photo of jlm in his youth. Note, this is pre-ColorByTechnicolor. What do you think?

 

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not Mr. Lebowski. You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

 

I am going to close my eyes and when I open them this will stop.

I had a good laugh now let get back to making my S move like the wind
Not that wind........

 

Aloha, Mr. Haaannndd.

Awesome kit Psi-Fi/Helix.

 

LOL!

"You ****!"

 

No that's a bagel.

 

What type of inlet temps are you seeing with the project? How does it work with the factory inlet temp protection? Looks promising!

Thanks,
Randy

 

for intake temps, see post #42 above

 

Intake Air Temp. 75 /95
Peak IAT 134.6 /161.6

 

I still haven't seen a price...what the hell is this thing running for?

-Paul

 

A price and release date have not yet been determined...stay tuned.

 

Bump...... Sema is over and I was expecting this thread to be very active with Kit pricing, pictures of the kit and people buying these things up. I thought the kit was supposed to be released at sema? What's the status?

 

its $5850 with all the parts, bolts... etc.... I have pics but can't get them to resize smaller
