I'm stationed out of Camp Lejune and wont be stateside till January. I will be sure to post pics and a dyno chart

 

I was out at the track the day Brian revealed this beast and there for quite a few runs, but I am under the impression they have still not gotten all the bugs worked out?? also, gettting an SRT to read boost is not a huge issue, but with an NA, it is. So you are using the stock ECU and not bypassing it with a totally independent system?? Sorry for all the questions, but I have not seen an NA turbo that is functioning yet and it gives me hope LOL

 

yeah when do you think you will have the pics up when you get back or before that?

 

Probably not till January

 

Still no pictures or word in that intercooler? You still have one right?

 

ok well i hope i dont have to wait tell then to find a turbo set up but if not then i will just have to wait and see

 

Tony, on the 3.8L build, please tell me this isn't gunna be the 3.8L conversion by renntech that costs like $10k is it?

 

.........Hello?.........I think its time for an update from TVT.........On anything.

 

yeah its been along time you said you would have the numbers weeks ago... anything new?

 

Nothing, sorry. We've been so tied up with customers' cars (pays the bills) that the shop car doesn't get any attention.

Tomorrow we may try to finalize some things, but there are 2 SRT6s, a corvette, and a track only firebird ahead of it. The car has been sitting on jack stands for about a month now, so I want it back together and running just as much as everyone.

I think we are going to change teh exhaust offering with the kit though. Originally we were going to go with shorty headers and a dual exhaust, but my fab guy and I were throwing around some ideas today and we came up with something a lil bit more interesting....

And the 3.8L is all of our own design no RENNtech rip off.

 

Well thats understandable. Work first, play second. As a business operator, I understand perfectly. What kind of exhaust ideas? I'm very pleased to hear that the 3.8L build won't be a version of Renntech's outrageous and low powered bank drain....

 

yeah so tell us more about the exhaust please

 

Here's the exhaust info...

no replys in a while.....im dying here! lol lets get those dynos goin boys

 

yeah i forgot about this it has been so long i hope they can get something out soon cause i picked up on one of my other projects and its almost done and want this to be my next.

 

Ok, we had a car dropped off today for the full array of products. This will include:

• CAI
• Injectors
• Phenolic Spacers
• Stage 2 Manifold
• 74mm TB
• Plugs/Wires
• Ported Heads
• Cams
• Exhaust
• Tune

We have pre-mod dyno results and will have postdyno results soon.

 

Am I correct in saying that the headers were scrapped due to lack of power gains and huge PITA factor??

Also, is this customer going with a catch can as well, I would think that would be a good investment with all these mods...

Thanks for the update TVT, glad someone is still doing R&D on the NA XF

 

yeah so how soon tell we see the dyno sheets???

 

The headers we will be releasing will not fit the stock exhaust and due to the PITA factor, I won't recommend them to anyone that isn't looking for every last HP.

We may install one of our catch cans in his car or possibly a vaccuum hook up to the exhaust. We'll see how it goes.

The car will be here for about a month. It's getting some suspension and lighting work done as well. It's going to be a nice lil project. We'll reveal the owner when it's all wrapped up.

Just came across this thread. Looks like we aren't the only ones finding the same flaws in these engines.
