Alky = power on a budget!
Here's a cool overlay I made. Old setup was IX turbo w/ 1.0mm jet on aquamist hfs-1, 29psi peak. HKS 280s, SS O2 housing, ported exhaust manifold, and had even done very near this setup on stock injectors (peak IDC was 128%!). With an extra alky jet, prolly could have stuck with them. My point is, its a pretty basic, well-setup bolt-on evo. Add aquamist to this setup for ~$600.
New setup is fully ported CBRD BBK Full, ported head, Kelford cams, gsc springs....really nothing crazy but EASILY looking at an extra $3000 in parts to make the same numbers, otherwise peak whp and torque numbers won't quite line up as well. This is my pump gas map on this setup, add in alky and it wins out all over, but just wanted to point out price difference in a decent setup at this power level.
new setup is light red, old setup is dark red.
powerband on the new setup IS bigger, but peak whp numbers are very close and you get a lot more smiles for your $$ with the alky/stock turbo setup
