Turbocharging my TMI atom 3 K20

[Gage]

Scott,  I know some of us (Raising my hand and waving enthusiastically) would love to see pictures of your turbo installation on your Atom.

Will do. Going to Orlando in next couple of days to finally bring the car back home to my garage. I'll get some good pics of everything very soon. Ended up going with Motec fuel injection and the Motec dash and it really is awesome, the smoothness of the engine's power curve is second to none with the Motec. The turbocharger makes the most wicked blow off noises (ecspecially right next to your ear.)  sounds that I have heard thatIt has taken a long time to get everything right but it is definetley worth it now that it is almost done. Did a couple more pulls on the dyno today... will update soon with latest power we achieve. I think we will need about 20 psi to get the power where I want it. Hopefully I will pick up the car tomorrow.

Update: My atom made 510.76 hp. at the rear wheels today and the torque, was 291.58. I tried to post some pics of the turbo setup and the dyno graph but couldnt get them to load correctly. Will get it figured out soon and I'll be bringing the car home this monday yeah!!!

NEXT THOUGHT.


you out do my hp by 230, but my tq by less than 40.

I would have thought, even being a honda that torque would be at least 350, but that's just my ignorance, not a dig at your tune by any means.

I really want to see a video of this in action. Not so much to see the car, but to see & hear your reaction; squealing like a teenage girl

...Actually, I'd probably prefer a 17" if money was no issue to get more tire height and thus a bit better gearing, especially with 350+ rwhp!

I have a short video up on youtube. Search "rsp ariel atom" it is 3:36 sec. long, and it's a video of some cold tire laps with a passenger, who had never rode in the car before, it was an empty, closed off subdivision near my home, so please don't get to upset for runnin a couple stop signs, place is empty. Enjoy.
