Looks like a sweet setup. I know BMS is having the FFTEC 6466 kit installed on one of their development cars to produce some JB4 single turbo maps.

So I'm all for new kits coming out, but this is $5k for just the hot side piping? Seems a little high honestly...

That’s awesome to hear that it’s holding well. Though with the torque curve of the big singles, sometimes I wonder if they’re actually easier on the 6AT than an aggressive RB/VTT2 setup.

Not exactly sure why you felt the need to post that but I know you helped them design aspects of it but according to BMS payment was made to "FFTEC MOTORSPORTS" and the kit has FFTEC plates welded to it. They have spoken to several FFTEC employees and no one has ever mentioned your name or Vishnu. You can call the kit whatever you want to call it but I'm going to call it a FFTEC kit like the manifold is labeled. Mike |

Why would anyone want a single scroll bottom mount vs. this one? Is it true the bottom mounts are no longer available for sale? I heard they no longer making the bottom mount Twin scroll because modification to the frame to fit the turbo... @vishnu @Shiv Last edited by Torgus; 10-02-2013 at 07:17 PM.. |

That's because we were not involved with the top mount kit. They was developed independently by FFTEC. And it's one hell of a kit. But the kit that Mike was referring to (that BMS purchased) was a bottom mount kit that was joint developed between FFTEC and Vishnu.
PS. There is some rumor circulating at the standard VTT bottom mount single turbo kit is no longer in production. This is not true. Both the top mount and the bottom mount ST kit will be manufactured in parallel. Last edited by OpenFlash; 10-02-2013 at 09:28 PM.. |

Your guess just makes you look like a complete idiot. Since you live in Mass. and have never been to FFTEC in Hayward, or know the owner of FFTEC, or the fabricators, or ANY FFTEC employee, or have seen FFTEC and Vishnu at all Shift S3ctor events, etc, I suppose we can excuse your waste of a post.

I still find it slightly odd but I really don't care about the FFTEC/Vishnu relationship I was just explaining what made the most sense to me: That Shiv had an exclusive deal/kickback or whatever for X amount of time as he helped(most likely by dropping the car off and paying them) prototype the 1st ST for the N54 and tuned it. They just recently started offering the manifold alone unless I am mistaken. If this wasn't the case why did they never advertise the manifold alone until just recently? There is nothing wrong if this is what happened. I would have done the same if I helped prototyped the 1st ST and tuned it, you deserve to get paid for your investment be it time, money, or both. MikeB@fftec did the frame had to be modified for the TS bottom mount kit? That was what was explained to me. Just curious. Last edited by Torgus; 10-03-2013 at 01:17 PM.. |
