This car features a custom Verocious Motorsports turbo kit that we put together. The kit was pulled together using the following components:
Verocious Rotated Mount Uppipe
Verocious Downpipe to Magnaflow cat back exhaust
Verocious 3.5” intake
Raw1 Track Series Block with Stock Heads and Cams
TurboXS Top Mount Intercooler
Twin Walboro In-tank Pumps
DeatschWerks 1100cc injectors
FP HTA GT35r Turbo with .82 Tial Stainless Exhaust Housing
Custom Mounted Defi Guages
The car is an animal on the street. With this turbo kit we bumped the stock output from 249 whp and 254 ft. lbs to 380 whp and 365 ft. lbs. There is also more power to be had with this kit, but the car is currently running stock heads and cams and those are the limiting factors right now. The owner is already talking about having some head work done as well as putting a FMIC on the car, and we are very curious to see how those modifications will translate into more power when we have the chance to strap this car back down. We’ll keep you posted.

We had a client with a bone stock 2006 WRX come in for a base line. He told us he had something he wanted to try out, and we said great. So he did his mod, not telling us what it was and we put the car back on the dyno a week later. As you can see from the graph, just the extrudehoned intake manifold was worth a peak whp of 16, and peak wheel torque of about 8. But aside from peak numbers, the area under the curve has increased dramatically. Power deltas across the rpm range have increased as much as 20whp and torque at certain points. I think it is safe to say that the ported intake manifold is worth a solid 5-10% increase in power.
Red Run number 2- Bone stock 2006 WRX
Green Run number 2- Same car but with only the extrude honed manifold
Black Run number 8-Same car tuned at 16psi.

This 1994 Integra GSR has a Jackson Racing supercharger, 50/50 water alcohol mix and is using VAFC for tuning. This setup makes the car an absolute blast to drive on the street. Nice flat torque helps to keep things planted.

This is a 2003 Evo VIII with a Greddy 20g turbo kit on a stock engine utilizing a Utec and a 50/50 water alcohol mix. Boost is set roughly at 22psi. Although it looks laggy on the dyno, its not noticeable on the street.

Here’s a pretty cool project that we just completed, a custom Moto GP inspired exhaust for a Honda Ruckus. If your not familiar with the Honda Ruckus it is a bare bones tube frame scooter that comes with a 50cc engine from the factory. Which means it is as easy to modify as your first BMX bike. The customer who owns this one, has changed just about everything and has turned his Ruckus into a laid out custom. In addition to the cosmetic changes this Ruckus features an engine swap and a big bore kit pushing it out to 180cc’s. Perfect for cruising the beaches!

This car came to us originally with a TRD supercharger kit installed. The owner wanted to swap out the supercharger kit for a turbo set up.
Highlights are as follows:
Dezod Turbo Kit with GT28 Upgrade
AEM FI/C
Vibrant Performance Vacuum Block
Verocious 2.5” to 3” Downpipe into Custom Verocious Exhaust
Verocious Wastegate Dump Tube
This setup is currently putting down 230 whp and 200 ft. lbs @ 9 psi
Future plans for this car include a Turbo Toyotas exhaust manifold, Level 10 valve body and trans internal upgrade and then some 11 second time slips!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the dyno day last Saturday. We could not have asked for better weather! From all the feedback we have gotten so far it sounds like everyone had a great time. By the end of the day we had raffled off 13 baseline dyno runs that covered a wide spectrum of cars. Off the top of my head the cars that made it on the dyno were: a 350z, an EVO, a few WRX’s and STi’s, I think two DSM’s, a blown Tacoma Pickup, a Tiburon, an S2000, and a GTi. The highest numbers of the day were put down by the 350z, which just managed to crack the 400 mark.
