EDP 7475 Results

LOL I didn't say a thing about your driving. I watched your vid and actually thought you drove it fine.

My point was the nonsense about how the DA takes thousands of horsepower from you.

Altitude will cause a turbocharged vehicle to spool slower and max output will be marginally less per psi (5-10%). Altitude will not, however, turn a 9 second car into a mid 11 second car. It just wont.


Enjoyed your vid though... car looks like its running good.

Never said it would turn it into a 9 second car. It will however shave around .5 seconds off of a 1/4 mile time. Went to dragtimes.com and entered all of the info in and it said that time would be about 10.9 at sea level. And that is with my crappy driving. My 60ft time should be 1.6. Mine is at 1.9 due to tires and not knowing how to launch. That is .3 seconds right there. I know I have a lot of work to do. But like I said, the kit makes great power and I love it. And it is proven to get fast times at the track.

 

[gimmie11s]

Fair enough.

To be honest though, you will be in the 10s and crack 130 mph with a simple gear swap. Shifting into 5th is costing you 3-4 mph by itself.

Gimme11s is right, turbo cars are not affected by altitude as much as NA or supercharged. He explained it in his last post, re read it. The Dragtimes da calculator is probably not right for turbo cars.

I actually was considering an EDP kit until I started reading all these threads. Thanks for testing them out for us guys. Sorry you are having to go thru this.

Yes. It really does suck hitting 5th kills my time. I am switching gears though!

Quade4_72 congrats on making it out to the track for the second time, you will get faster each time you go!

In your defense I can see your friends with Danny at EDP or at the very least a good customer. It's only right for you to stick up for him. I can also see the point of other turbo owners. Your power is new to you, so it's going to feel fast as shit! But if you look at your time slip, look at your 1/8 mph compared to your 1/4 mph. A supercharged car should back half around 30mph more then the front. I believe turbos usually pick up about 32mph. Some of that may be your shifting into 5th, but some of that is your car falling on its face... From what I've read, it seems like high elevation hinders the 60' time more then mph, but I'm sure your missing a few mph.

People in this thread are bashing the EDP kit and mainly Danny for miss representing his kits and over exaggerating it's low price. Don't take it personally. I like turbo's, but I'd say a turbo is a waste of potential on a 10sec car.

 

[Big Q]

Seriously what more do you want out of a kit?

I want a kit that when revved past 6500RPM it doesn't make the valvetrain sound like it's gonna shoot through the hood. The only people that are happy with these kits have either never been on the dyno or arent revving it high enough to see it fall on it's face. I'm curious to know what the auto cars that are being tuned at his shop are shifting at?

 

[Big Q]

Quad4_72 do you have a dyno graph your willing to share of your car? Also I'm curious where does your hotside wastegate lines reference to as I'm assuming Danny installed the kit at his shop?

 

[Scott8583]

Look at Danny's time slip... 1/8 mph of 116 and only 142 in the quarter... He should be minimum of 146 to 148. He's actually slowing down on the big end.

All of this talk of "Falling on it's face" seems to be a bit exaggerated. "Borderline useless"? Seriously? Everyone seems to think that as soon as this car hits 6200 rpm or something the car shuts off so fast that it starts doing front flips down the track. So check this out. COuld probably do that with the 7475 kit as well just no one has done it yet. Do you want an off the shelf turbo kit to put you immediately in the 8s?

Yes borderline useless. I'll say it one more time, borderline useless. Sure you may be able to squeeze out a high 10 and that makes you happy, was that your point in going turbo could have done that with a Cj setup? What happens when another customer starts to lean on the car, like quite a few people who bought the damn kit planned to do? Oh that's right it's useless to them at this point isn't it? Pushing more boost aiming for faster times? Oh that's right the EDP CANNOT do it.Why? Because it falls off HARD at 6500 on LOW BOOST as seen by MULTIPLE customers on a DYNO, you know the machine that tells you what kind of power you're making, now imagine throwing 20+ Psi at it and trying to turn rpm LOL. You couldn't do it without making a new kit.

What kind of RPM are the auto EDP cars turning at the big end?.......

So no it's it's not exaggerated at all, especially to the customers who are stuck in a damn box. They flat out cannot use the kit. Btw Juic3ds Hellion off the shelf kit went 8s.

FYI I hate on3 as a whole and would love nothing more than to trash talk them every chance I get but their kit works, what more can I say.

The auto thing also popped into my head.......shifting and what they are turning at the big end. None the less you absolutely wouldn't be able to run stupid fast with this kit. Sooner or later you would have to cram some boost in it and wind the thing out......like JPCs car lol that thing is crazy.

Shifting into 5th is fun lol

looks like one of my slips. Mt82 car.

Sux I'm going to have to peel all these EDP stickers off my car. This kit was the biggest aftermarket purchase I've ever made and took me a long time to save enough to buy it. I had planned on buying the on3 kit from chad (on3 is only 45 min from me) but when I went to order he was out of stock and wasn't sure when the kits would be available.

Danny I did some checking with our stainless supplier. I can get any size and have it in less than 2 days. ill go buy a Y for my argon reg and make my own down pipe. If I do this I'll be offering 3.5" and 4" down pipes for these kits to anyone that wants one I also can make coolant tubes to keep the 3/4" coolant line going to the jug away from the down pipe.
After that I'll take what 3" I have left and making the merge/up pipe bigger

I'll also state the precision turbo engine is a joke! You know it's bad when some of the top ppl in the game rite now say they'd rather run on3 turbo's that PTE's.

Those that but swing PTE either don't have a clue or are "sponsored" by them!

"They have all the records" lol. Want to know why? Because some poor soul tore those PTE units down and fixed PTE's mistakes. Just like my 7675. The only parts left in/on it that are PTE are the housings lol

Here are some photos of my car falling on its face at 6000rpms like everyone else's

 

[JTS_7]

^ why is yours any different?

Anyone having a check engine light come on? Has anyone logged the "audible sound" to see what everything is doing? What are the cams doing?

 

[wakebum2507]

Not sure. But it does look or feel like it's falling off like the rest. Just presenting data for everyone. This tuning was done yesterday, so it's fresh.

Those red lines diving at 6200 tho....

 

[DD2013 5.0]

Throwing valve springs in to help float on low boost is a bandaid! I mean seriously!

Let's throw parts at the car instead of fixing the route cause lol.
