AND THEN THERE WAS STAGE 4 !!!!!!!! - Hibiscus Red S4 2006-01-11 12:49:09 (440 views)

My thoughts exactly - "A REAL Stage 4" - Zold-manS4 2006-01-11 13:11:17 (326 views)

Yes - Hibiscus Red S4 2006-01-11 13:25:32 (265 views)

Mark, do you have any actual dyno charts you care to share? You can call if you like. - Jason @ Streetwerke 2006-01-11 12:07:16 (297 views)

J...don't be lazy, sir....scroll down an ye shall findeth thee chart! ;-) Hows the monster R? - BASELINE 2006-01-11 12:15:06 (296 views)

That isn't an actual chart from a Mustang AWD-500 that I see. - Jason @ Streetwerke 2006-01-11 15:06:01 (346 views)

this one? - Andrew C. 2006-01-11 15:26:52 (674 views)

Didn't see that one, saw the other Pchopped one on the ASP site. Thanks! - Jason @ Streetwerke 2006-01-11 16:27:20 (227 views)

Any tests done to the engine, before install? Will you do it for any mileage engine? - yetis 2006-01-11 12:04:36 (291 views)

Biggest post of 2006...and probably greatest acheivment!! GREAT JOB and congrats MARK....I'm gettin - BASELINE 2006-01-11 11:50:08 (386 views)

Kudos to Tony Chick, Dave and Mark too!!!!!!! Never knew you guys were such whores. :-P - BASELINE 2006-01-11 11:52:27 (279 views)

Huge congrats sir.. You have come a long way and your skill and eye for detail - Milpitas2.7T 2006-01-11 11:22:36 (295 views)

where does the line start again? :p - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 11:25:25 (280 views)

Behind my cute Cactus arse! - Milpitas2.7T 2006-01-11 17:12:24 (230 views)

Congrats to you, Mark, and everyone else involved. This looks to be a very impressive kit. - PiggieSmalls 2006-01-11 10:55:27 (504 views)

we all have decided how comperable FATS times are (they aren't). but your point stands... - Oo.et.oO 2006-01-11 11:07:05 (882 views)

What? 2.9-3.0 Fats.... should be MUCH faster then that... - Todeshandler 2006-01-11 10:56:46 (306 views)

Based on the WHP curve posted in on the Autospeed web site the FATS time should be about 2.81 sec. - rktskicar 2006-01-11 18:54:25 (311 views)

thats in 4th gear. not 3rd. that changes things a whooooole bunch - BUFFALONOGAROpebFATS 2006-01-11 18:56:59 (239 views)

WHP is WHP. Dynos are made to measure power at the wheels. The car does not put out anymore power - rktskicar 2006-01-11 19:01:54 (1054 views)

n/m, i missed the fact you were converting that way. - BUFFALONOGAROpebFATS 2006-01-11 18:58:57 (248 views)

My point exactly. I was SUPER happy and so proud of Mark until I saw this post.... - PiggieSmalls 2006-01-11 10:59:51 (573 views)

I thought about that too, but correct me if I'm wrong. And I probably am, but... - SAC-CA-S4:Big Bird 2006-01-11 12:15:14 (366 views)

I looked at the compressor maps of the GT25R - [badmoonrising] 2006-01-11 12:35:09 (651 views)

Just a quick question: What makes you believe that GT turbos are more reliable? - NO.BRAZIL (barf) 2006-01-11 13:45:11 (335 views)

The thrust loading involved when running high boost makes ball bearing turbos ideal.... - marin 993tt 2006-01-11 17:58:54 (328 views)

now now....lets not get into this discussion ;) - Imolavirus:Infected 2006-01-11 18:02:54 (278 views)

A lot of ppl with Skylines, Supras, RX7s run GT series turbos... - hadokenny 2006-01-11 13:52:28 (379 views)

2nd. - AJN334 2006-01-11 13:35:05 (218 views)

i thought compressor maps used absolute pressure.. ? - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 12:50:27 (247 views)

they do, so its out of the map but depending of the flow it might still be pretty efficient - smurfbus4 2006-01-11 22:59:40 (195 views)

I'd like to see the #s on that same dyno for one of the well setup hybrid cars. - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 12:01:50 (286 views)

Your answer for K04/K24... - Chuck-S4 2006-01-11 12:55:32 (461 views)

I doubt it on the area under the curve, but we'll see. I'd love to see your car run on the same - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 12:59:23 (298 views)

One thing is for sure, I won't upgrade to GT25r as I got similar results with K24s. - Chuck-S4 2006-01-11 13:11:43 (377 views)

Agreed. The GT setup is very, very nice though. Mark always does some nice, innovative work. - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 13:16:01 (247 views)

i'm likely going with the GT setup with the following in mind... - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 13:27:21 (376 views)

That's the way to think about it. ;-) For me I'd play around some though in terms of - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 14:00:02 (329 views)

ill probably run it off the shelf for a bit - then i'll start digging into the heads and motor :) - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 15:41:24 (264 views)

Cams....needs cams..... - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 17:00:15 (266 views)

oh yeah, i still owe you an email about those :) - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 17:44:32 (216 views)

F**k FATS times, way too many variables to compare, let's just line them up in 3rd gear. - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 11:17:41 (335 views)

just curious, where does your + come from? - BUFFALONOGAROpebFATS 2006-01-11 11:48:29 (254 views)

hybrids, heads, headers, cams, etc.... - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 12:47:03 (265 views)

sounds +-worthy to me. - mjtaylor 2006-01-11 12:51:41 (239 views)

extra drop of retcin? - [badmoonrising] 2006-01-11 11:53:51 (290 views)

oooh, smells minty - BUFFALONOGAROpebFATS 2006-01-11 12:39:41 (257 views)

Hopefully Marc will post some logs or run them through Nye's FATS calc. - Todeshandler 2006-01-11 11:06:31 (290 views)

I'm sure it was with two persons on the car plus uphill - smurfbus4 2006-01-11 11:03:36 (245 views)

Dayumn....makes me wanna buy another S4 back in NJ and drive it to ASP....incredible job Mark!! - EvilEmpirE::WMS 2006-01-11 10:50:30 (300 views)

hmmm the link took me to the homepage of ASP...but i dont see any info on the kit - hadokenny 2006-01-11 10:48:48 (300 views)

Are you serious? It's right there smack in the middle of their webpage. - Pearl of the Orient 2006-01-11 10:50:04 (397 views)

Weird...I still cant find the link on the frontpage. I must be blind. Thanks for the link! - hadokenny 2006-01-11 10:53:39 (296 views)

clear your intraweb cache? - Andrew C. 2006-01-11 13:42:23 (271 views)

on the intarweb, links can be in pictures..i.e. click on the "project" picture on the home page. - ModifiedA4 2006-01-11 11:05:23 (284 views)

PLEASE WAIT TWO MORE WEEKS :) - Noose 2006-01-11 10:47:28 (269 views)

Mark, I'm sure you've run a Stage 3 car from a roll, care - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 10:43:20 (441 views)

As I am sure everyone is curious of the results including me, I don't think it very wise... - projectS4gt25r 2006-01-11 11:17:06 (518 views)

You don't necessarily represent ASP by yourself, you know...it *IS* your car, and... - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 12:20:54 (323 views)

but then if someone starts first, etc - I'm more in favor of multi-cars on same dyno - Mark P 2006-01-11 12:24:30 (343 views)

that's why there is video. But if the GT25 car complains about a slight jump - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 12:43:11 (367 views)

Agreed. That would work just as well. That FATS seems slow for that power, though... - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 12:30:29 (263 views)

You'd be suprised. Most of the mags are tired of all S4 or S4 dominated shootouts - Todeshandler 2006-01-11 11:53:07 (357 views)

Maybe Autospeed needs to shoot for the Car and Driver shootout instead of the others.... - projectS4gt25r 2006-01-11 12:26:02 (321 views)

C&D does not typically include out of production cars. - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 12:28:02 (226 views)

I understand. But I assume you would be driving your car, correct? - ohioko4s4 2006-01-11 11:20:58 (299 views)

congrats from this side of the pond too. hows your timing correction with 93 at torque peek? - smurfbus4 2006-01-11 10:35:33 (301 views)

WOW! :-o Congrats Mark! Can't wait to see the beast at EPL. - Dr. Jekyll 2006-01-11 10:26:59 (304 views)

Brutal! Congrats to everyone involved. - Verr?ckt 2006-01-11 10:15:50 (289 views)

What's the boost profile like? What boost at what RPM? - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 10:15:47 (257 views)

Mark? Boost? What does the curve look like? I'm sure everyone would like to know... - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 11:19:44 (242 views)

Congrats Mark , you must be tired ;p - SIMPPLY @ WMS 2006-01-11 10:00:42 (285 views)

Nope, just scratching the surface, working on my motor today! Expect big numbers =) - Mark@AutoSpeed 2006-01-11 10:02:01 (300 views)

How much will installation be? - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 09:56:40 (281 views)

see here... - Mark@AutoSpeed 2006-01-11 10:01:03 (663 views)

That's not too bad. Wish I could afford it =*(***** - box_of_partS4 2006-01-11 10:05:23 (337 views)

Any FATS runs/numbers available? - wagongotya 2006-01-11 09:29:48 (276 views)

It is in the 2.9x~3.0x range - Mark@AutoSpeed 2006-01-11 09:39:40 (501 views)

That's fast, but I expected lower given the dyno... - S4tranquility 2006-01-11 10:59:36 (270 views)

also FATS+ was thought up to help compare a broader range which likely applies better here - Mark P 2006-01-11 11:18:33 (239 views)

The fats time is from the dyno. While logging the pulls, perhaps its time to do a few on the street - Mark@AutoSpeed 2006-01-11 13:11:08 (247 views)

No wonder! It will do WAY better on the street IMHO. I knew summin was wrong... - RAD69 2006-01-12 06:35:15 (223 views)

See, I knew there was something fishy about those times. I look foward to seeing street times. :) - PiggieSmalls 2006-01-11 13:36:41 (271 views)

Doh! For sure do them on the street; you may be pleasantly surprised. ;-) - FunkWeasel 2006-01-11 13:14:47 (223 views)

Mark, what do you think the output would be on 91? Just a guess. Do you think - SAC-CA-S4:Big Bird 2006-01-11 09:49:34 (320 views)
