Release : 05.03.05
Project B6 Quattro
The Eliminator GT2X so far proves to be the litte turbo that really could. Installation (link to installation manual) is a snap. Once it's in there, it's virtually undectectable.

05/03/05:
Stock dyno posted
Update 05/20/05: Project B6 Quattro starts to make power!
251 AWHP and 279 AWTQ was attained, leaving the K04 with the old league and
raises some eyebrows of some "big" turbos.

 
Update 05/21/05: Project B6 Quattro hits the 1/4 mile track
With a little 100 octane mixed with the 91 octane to combat the California summer heat, down the drag strip it ran. Previous ET's of 16.1's and 16.2's will soon be history in time. The torquey little GT2X made the car potent, but yet incredibly easy to launch as the quattro plants every bit of it to the ground. The powerplant was also found to be quite consistent even though the poor GT2X was blowing through both the stock side mounted intercooler and the stock exhaust.

Approximately 10 runs were done back to back with all of them in the high 13 second
range.

Best run of the day:

60 ft time: 1.867
1/8 mile ET: 8.78
1/8 mile speed: 79.47 MPH
1/4 mile ET: 13.7 @ 99.6 MPH

Note: The B6 S4 runs in the mid to high 13's @ close to 100 MPH. Project B6
A4 is now in S4 league for acceleration!

Update 05/26/05: More power = faster times
262 AWHP and 315 AWTQ was attained!

To put the GT2X to further testing, we decided to run project B6 on an addtional 6 degrees of timing advance to make use of the high octane fuel.

The dyno:


vs. K04:

The trip back to the drag strip:

Consistent 13.5 ET's were netted and we're now well over 100 MPH in the middle of 100 degree scorching heat!

When ambient temperatures dropped to around 85 degrees F, the B6 netted 2 almost identical 13.3 runs, no weight reduction.

See below:

60 ft time: 1.792
1/8 mile ET: 8.52
1/8 mile speed: 81.87 MPH
1/4 mile ET: 13.3 @ 103.3 MPH

The 4.2L equipped, $45K big brother of the B6 A4, the B6 S4 runs in the
mid to high 13's @ close to 100 MPH. The 1.8L equipped project B6 A4 is now
beyond the B6 S4 league for acceleration! The next real question: Will the the little GT2X powered heavy slug be able to produce 12 second time slips? We believe that there is plenty of room left to grow! Afterall, it's still running on the stock exhaust and intercooler.

Update 05/28/05: Emissions testing
Eliminator GT2X equipped Project B6 goes in for emissions testing!!

Just how “stealthy” is the eliminator series? We decided to put it to the test!

Anyone who is a performance enthusiast and lives in California knows that modifying the engine bay components for more power means having to “un-modify” for the bi-annual emissions test in order to receive the registration sticker for the next year.

State law states that you cannot modify anything in the engine bay with an aftermarket component unless that component has gone through the state board evaluation process and has received prior approval for use. During the “visual” stage of the inspection, the typical emissions technician can dismiss and FAIL the entire emissions test on a vehicle if he sees anything that is not of original equipment. If an after market component is found, an accompanying approval sticker from the state board must be in plain view. The second stage of the inspection requires that the technician do an approximately 20 point inspection of all key emissions related components (e.g. vacuum lines, sensors, catalysts, exhaust, CEL light activity, error codes, etc.) to ensure proper functionality of the engine’s on-board diagnostic system. Anything out of place here will also fail the entire inspection. Finally, the most important of all, the emissions output of the vehicle is measured. The limits have been preset for each vehicle in a database and when that vehicle type is inspected, the inspection computer verifies the collected data against the data in the database. Anything above the limits will also result in immediate failure of the entire test.

Having confidence in the way we have designed our eliminator turbo system with the turbo placed in the original location and with all the emissions related devices retained in this kit, we volunteered our project car for a random emissions test just like if it was time to renew the registration!

We randomly selected a test station at a random location and under the microscope it went!

The technician cautiously proceeds by sifting through the engine bay, looking at every component with a flashlight to see if anything “stands out”. Nothing there: project B6 (with 300+ hidden HP) appears 100% stock. The car had passed the white glove test and the “visual” part was over. With the car running, a connector was hooked up to the diagnostic port. It has the ability to monitor the functionality of every sensor on the vehicle from the evaporative emissions hose to the catalyst temperature to the pre and post 02 sensors to the amount of airflow at the MAF. Everything checked out with no CEL and no DTC’s. It passes the second stage of the emissions test. Next came the tailpipe “sniffer” test which measures the actual levels of emissions output at different operating rpms and load conditions. The suspense builds as the technician subjects the car to the various test conditions under the order of the instructions on the screen of the testing system. Then, the long awaited printout comes out of the laser printer next to the station. PASS PASS PASS. Our Eliminator equipped project car had performed, but this time it performed like “stock” and looked like “stock” when it needed to be stock. Refer to the attached emission test results for actual emissions output measured.

 

Note:

The point of this exercise was to determine how well the Eliminator series turbo kit responds to today’s emissions testing requirements. We realize now that the discreteness of the kit can allow it to “fly under the radar”, but we are by no means suggesting that the kits are currently California smog legal. They are not! These kits, just like most other turbo kits on the market are currently only available for purchase to be used off- road only! We are currently going through the CARB approval process for these kits and the products are pending the approval of the state board for mass use. Until the point the approval has been granted, these kits are not legal for public highway use in California.
