Thank you sir!

Holy smokes. Is that on 91/93 octane (vs E85)?!

First one is stock, next 2 are 93 pump and last 2 are e20!! It’s insane, better than stock trx number

Wild. I can’t imagine what the RHO can do with E85 / Demon 170 FF kit and larger TT’s. These GT2054’s (I can’t find details on them, though can on the 2052 and the next larger, they are small turbos!!) are making wild power. I want to see someone sample 2871R’s on this engine.

How will the 8HP75 hold up? I wish this truck had the 8HP95.

Satera said the 8HP75 should hold up to 650-700 torque at wheels! So let’s see. I’m fricken excited so far though!

Solid! That said, from what I am gathering the 3.0 inline 6 can take more. Wondering on upgraded 8HP75 versus OEM 8HP95 replacement? Has anyone looked into that?

The numbers put out by the JB4 from Satera is nuts. I was skeptical of that tuner (device) but it may appear the juice is worth the squeeze here. That’s super cheap.

Great #'s. JB4 always delivers. I'm curious what the HP #'s will look like with some catless downpipes...

Satera said even the changing just the mid pipes should free up some good power and obviously downpipes should be even better!!

I told myself i'm leaving the exhaust (mostly) stock on this after making my TRX rattle my teeth, but we'll see how long that lasts

What exhaust did you do to your trx? I did a muffler delete on my first one and mbrp catback on the second really couldn’t even tell a difference between the 2 sounded crazy though. Shake the walls on cold start

I’m definitely a noob at anything twin turbo but why would you run E85 vs zero ethanol?

 

[lazerbeak]

I am also a novice, but more ethanol = more resistant to knock = more boost (& air & fuel) = more power! Ran E85 on my Audi RS3 and made 600+hp on that map. Also had to run larger fuel injectors, piping, high-flow down pipe, etc/supporting mods.

Also very interested in GESI (carb/EPA compliant) catted downpipes when they become available for more power while still being able to pass emissions.

I did the AWE which was advertised as "mild" but holy shit was it loud!

It's all about octane rating - E85 has an octane of 100-105. I typically mix E85 and 93 to E30, which gives an octane boost to 95ish and keeps any ethanol "issues" as bay for the most part.

Does anyone know what is up with the very low redline on these engines? It seems odd to have a redline that's in the 5s - not sure I've heard of that on a modern engine. BMW's redlines are MUCH higher for similar sized, turbo inline sixes.

Ahhhh I did not know E85 had that high of an octane rating. I grew up helping my dad with his drag cars but we always ran racing fuel and airplane fuel in one car. None of his cars were turbo or supercharged. Cubic inches bring the ladies, as he would say. Didn’t understand that as a 8-10 year old. I have never owned a vehicle with a turbo so I got some learning to do.

You can advance ignition timing further too and burns cooler

I have a feeling the turbos run out of steam any higher up so my assumption is they just made a lower recline because you fall out of the turbo efficiency range any higher up
