AMS Rotated mount Turbo kit Test INSIDE!!!!

**AMS** · 01-25-2008, 02:30 PM

Well you all knew it wasn't going to be long before we designed a turbo kit for the Subaru. And now you have it!

This in our prototype GT30R AMS V-band Turbo kit. This kit particular kit is using the new Tial V-band housing. Please keep in mind that the way this kit sits is not necessarily how we are going to release it.... but its close.

The numbers were VERY surprising.

The mods on the car were as follows:

AMS Prototype TMIC
AMS Prototype Catback Exhaust
AMS Prototype GT30R V-band Turbo kit
AMS Prototype Header
Deatschwerks 850cc injectors
Walbro Fuel Pump
Cobb Access port
Boost: Spiking to 22 Holding at 20
AFR: Low 11's under WOT
Fuel: 93 Octane Pump gas

The car its being compared to is our shop 05 when it had the following mods:

AEM Cold Air intake
Vibrant Catback exhaust
Open Source Tune

And now for the dyno chart:

This thing just hauls!!! I am so excited to try this thing on some big boost and see what it can do. We are also going to do a test with our prototype FMIC and swap the turbo to a GT35R to see what she can do... I can't WAIT!

Here are some pictures of the kit, again keep in mind this is not production ready. Also that top mount is also just a prototype for testing and now what our production piece will look like.

RACE GAS NUMBERS!!!

Finally, The EVO X here at the shop has slowed testing a bit with having to split the projects up.

In any even I am pretty pleased. This test was done on C16 and nothing else changed.

485WHP on a top mount.... not too bad LOL

The three charts in order of lowest HP to highest are:

Stock Sti
My sti with the 30R on pump
My sti with the 30R on C16

Nice setup, AMS is crazy!

xtw1ster · 01-25-2008, 02:47 PM

niiiice!

**Alex** · 01-25-2008, 03:08 PM

Wow, 400 on a TMIC? Great numbers! Any wrapping of the turbo to see how much loss was caused by heat soak?

SubyFi · 01-25-2008, 03:08 PM

Nice! With the turbo so close to the intercooler, is there any heat soak issues? There's no turbo shield or heat barrier.

STI_Mike · 01-25-2008, 03:18 PM

thats a nice setup and those are good numbers with a top mount.

Dsycks · 01-25-2008, 05:01 PM

Those numbers are good period. A little heat control and you got a winner.

Awesome, this is what ive been waiting for all my life....vband ftw

**evilSTi7** · 01-25-2008, 06:22 PM

wait, am i missing something. you guys say your car with a cai, catback and tune made 300whp?

Dsycks · 01-25-2008, 07:47 PM

Why would it not? Evos make that sort of power with similar mods?

Lots of guys running 11s on stock turbos and AMS is one of the best. After Buschurs of course.

RFFG · 01-25-2008, 10:37 PM

Nice work

We will be doing some heat shielding or wrapping option here soon

As I said above a Shield or wrap is in the works

Thanks for all the positive input guys. When the car made close to 400whp I was able to put it in the 11.7's..and that was on race gas. On race gas now I Think I can clip a 10 sec pass in this thing. it hauls ass.
