POOKDIZZLE Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Watch this video... What are your thoughts about this kit, and the other products he discusses?Whats worth is and whats not?This has been discussed before, but anyway, it's a good kit but on the high side as far as $ goes, you can get everything they offer at @ 1/2 the cost if you are patient and look for deals. I have heard it produces @265whp +/- a little depending on how well maintained your car is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHEIII874T5M Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Of the 5 cars I knew that have it... 3 of them have blown engines. One I installed myself on a friend's car, 80 miles later the car has a blown engine. Kevin's still runs and supposidely so does IPD's test v70.

Dang, well as far as putting down 265hp, there are a handful of ppl here that have done it. Just research and a local Vs'er that can give you some good advice.

JHEIII874T5M Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Any details as to what went wrong?I know 3 of them melted a piston. I'm not familiar with what exactly happened to CJ's?And that V70 in the video looks about as slow as my S70 was stock with a manual boost controller ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

550 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder what specs are really going on there... melting pistons eh? That is something I may have to worry about :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volvoson Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I know 3 of them melted a piston. I'm not familiar with what exactly happened to CJ's?Sorry, I meant that CJ's motor was still alive (like Kevin's) as they were both tuned at the same time...

Volvoson Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 I wonder what specs are really going on there... melting pistons eh? That is something I may have to worry about Rumor has it that the Stage III tune they ship is the exact same tune Kevin's and CJ's cars have, but they are both running Aquamist and that was factored into the tune. Any car without Aquamist with the same tune will run leaner, higher temps, melting, bad things start to happen...? That's only if I'm not a complete moron in my logic which I wouldn't bet against.
