This is still the S280? Not the mystery turbo?

Correct, s280 still.

 

[Jabbit]

Correct, s280 still.

You having an engine built at the same time? I'd be curious to see what this thing would make on a dyno.

Don't pick that fight - most BEVs and even some hybrids are too fast in a straight line pull. Fight them at the launch and in the twisties.

Yes, after seeing the footage of the Kia EV beating a Lambo in the 1/4 the power of EV’s was made very clear. And generally speaking, simply straight line performance is of no concern to me in this car, aside from simply wanting to be faster. And while I was being a bit tongue in cheek, as I have no doubts of the power of EV’s it was still a bit funny that an off road vehicle with heavy off road tires was able to easily outrun the fiesta.

Waiting on a solution from Tune+. That will be what I go with. I would like to get it on a dyno some time soon.

Question: For those using a Tial or HKS BoV, did you use the couplers included in the kit and plug the stock BoV sections or are you using different couplers? Will my existing stock sized couplers fit?

I used the couplers that came with the kit and the BOV adapter, however I just simply installed the block off I'd been using on the stock turbo with no issue. You could either plug the couplers or you could try and get other couplers that will work, the intake is easy as its just a 90*. I think the compressor hot outlet would be a 45* or so angle. I wanna say 2.5" for the compressor and 3" for the intake.

Was wondering what turbo blanket fits the S280

I have HKS and I used the Orange plug and block of plate that was on the stock turbo. I had the CPE exhale kit before big turbo.

Is it necessary to do an oil change and change the oil out after 1500 miles like the whoosh hybrid recommends?

I probably would just for the peace of mind.

I changed mine at 1k when I installed gtx2860 because I’m OCD, but probably not absolutely necessary

Do it. If it's recommended, you should do it. If something happens and it's because you had bad oil... welp.

It's badass! Feels no different than stock but a ton more grabbing power!

Is it easy to press the clutch pedal in or is it harder? I need a clutch and am considering this but don't want a heavy clutch.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between my stock clutch pedal feel and the pedal feel after the replacement!

Just installed RTS dual friction. It holds more power and, if any different, is a bit lighter than the stock clutch and has an easily discernible friction point.

Okay, I am ready for e50 LOL, will 91 be okay even if I upgrade the injectors and hpfp?

Yes, but it’ll be limited to 300whp or less no matter how much fuel you can supply.

That is one thing I noticed with this car when first driving it, the factory AP clutch feels very vague, or 'soft' on where the actual engagement point is in the pedal release arc.

But I guess that is to be expected coming from a 4th gen Z28 with an LS7 clutch kit installed.

I am late to the party but plan on installing my s280 along with Whoosh v3 FMIC and performance DP next weekend. For those that are mechanically inclined but not a pro mechanic, about how long did just the turbo install take? Does everyone agree that new turbo bolted to the manifold is the easiest way to install?
