OVTune 3.5L Tacoma Supercharger and Twin Turbo Systems

I really haven't been excited for anything like this in a while

 

The new garret powermax turbos are pretty quick spooling. They've changed the geometry on the turbines to help spool faster. These are also "small" turbos so they come on fast and carry power through the rpm range. At the local drag strip guys in the ecoboost f150's were stomping everyone so I'm not to concerned with boost lag.

 

There is virtually zero lag. I'm in boost at part throttle at 2000 rpm. I see 1-2psi just casual driving.
Full boost is instantaneous. floor it from a dead stop you're in boost by the time the wheels start moving. I am limiting boost right now too.
Response is much much better than the mid mount setup and even then that setup spooled very fast.

The torque comes on strong and smooth, not jerking like when you "hit full boost" in some cars.


I should have a complete run down of everything this weekend, and hopefully will have a time-frame for a release / price / etc.

 

Before I left my last job we were just starting to test the new garrets with those turbines and it was insane how fast they would spool compared to old tech.

Looking forward to the "deets" as my daughter taught me some new lingo.

This video set off a time Tacoma confetti streamers all over the place!

 

I'm not super familiar with how a turbo vehicle handles on snow or ice but if you're spinning tires pretty easily in 4H does that mean it's not going to be very road-friendly for daily driving during the winter?

 

I'm thinking that you can control that with your foot.

 

Sandbags man. Sandbags.

 

You could not mash the gas? Lol

 

nope

 

Like a two stroke Mx bike on a frozen pond with a butter spread

 

Nothing negates the fact that you must have good tires and and modicum of respect for skinny pedal on the right.

Except in a WRX. Gas the fuqer like you stole it and enjoy!

 

I'm assuming he had traction control off

 

actually that video is with traction control on.

Here is one in 4H with traction control off. at full throttle the truck spins in 4H lol!


this engine just loves the boost.

Hit 6000+ rpm multiple times. truck loves it.

tires are pretty much non stop spinning when boost hits. Torque converter tuning needs a bit of work, doesn't lock much in 4H from the feel of it.

Fuck!

 

Torque converter eh? This gonna be compatible with the manual?

 

Don't see why not. You will smell your clutch if it starts slipping.
