guys running GT2871r eliminator

[fernando]

Just about getting ready to install my Gt2871 eliminator kit and i am just wondering if i will be happy with the power....just wanted to get some feedback from some of you guys that are already running the kit on your cars, how do you like it.....is it enough power???

[slopoke]

what enough power for you? For the track, for a DD, for the dyno?

well this is my DD, don't plann on taking it to the 1/4 mile track, if anything i will be doing some course racing every now and then.....just over all....i know that power is never enough,

[JumboBlack1.8]

yes....u will be happy....

[legionvr6]

not to thread jack but im considering geting the gt2871r eli and i was just wondering what kind of power can be had? i have an AEB stock and i dont realy plan to build it up. and im FWD so my drive train loss is less then the quattro guys. i plan to pop a FMIC on it and a 2.5 cat back with a GHL high flow. and high flow manifold

well from what i have gathered with the right tune, you can get 300 AWHP, now with you being fwd you might be able to get some more than that.

I love it, but for my instance I dont have the right software to take advantage of the turbo. I running APR for the moment, even with that its more power.

[andyrew]

Well, You will always want more power... no matter how big you go..

BUT,

Yes its enough power. Definitely keep you happy for a while.

[biketsai]

I am still VERY happy with my T28, I am no where near bored of the turbo, it just keeps on pulling and makes me smile!

[stilldubbin203]

if i can give you one word of advice go with chris tapps tune, and if you have the money get water/meth injection. He will add a meth file for an extra 50 bucks. I went with the coolingmist trunk mount kit with the labonte motorsports touchscreen controller and if was the best decision ive ever made, easiest thing to use and it uses your injector duty cycle to calculate how much methanol it pumps.

[AudiRacerS4]

go with either ctapp or unitronic, from personal experience i would go with unitronic

I wouldn't think it's a good idea to have an aggressive gt2871r tune with w/m on his stock engine.

[legionvr6]

any thoughts on revo? And I think I might install water meth just for summer time . I live in socal. Valley area so when summer hits I get to see 100-115F. Woohoo letheret is great in that wether LOL

[ChescoS6]

I am also curious about opinions on revo.

[mike-2ptzero]

I think there is only 1 or 2 guys running the REVO tune for a Elim kit on a 2001. One of them lives right here in socal and posts on this forum.

[AudiRacerS4]

i love my uni tune and there customer service and support is A+ in my book

[jturnbull]

I'm also looking to do this kit but with stock internals should i be worried about stuff breaking or for the most part is it pretty reliable?

No, the AEB is a little bit stronger then the engine in the B6's and those guys really push the elims to their limits. So you shouldn't have a problem running a elim kit as a daily driver.

[legionvr6]

i love how the aeb is just known for taking more punishment. you got to love old tech.

so any thoughts on revo on an AEB with a elim?

GIAC now also offers BT tunes for the DBW. Might want to look into it.

I dont think REVO has a BT tune for the ndbw cars.

i live with it... i dont mind my aeb bigger port head and 034 engine management

I'm running the GT2871r with ctapp tuning. I'm happy! Although I would like to see what the unitronics feels like.

[legionvr6]

one of the guys over at eutocode said they could do a mod'ed revo file for me once i go BT

[4inchMAF]

for you guys with elim setups. did any of you reuse the stock oil return line?

[7speed]

No, but I did reuse the coolant return line

[.Mad Hatter.]

can the stock oil return line be used? if not any info on a good source?

Happy if your use 2 driving a stock turbo, chipped audi. If you've ever driven a stock turbo chipped EVO or WRX I would have to guess a lil dispointment is in store.

[mike-2ptzero]

I would have to say a chipped stock turbo evo and a GT2871r elim are not that far off from each other.

[eakrob]

I reused the stock oil line it works fine.

YOur knowledable and a virtual encyclopedia on Audi's and I have a respectful question that has been nagging at me for a bit. Why is it that our cars can't get into the 11's with 10 of thousand in work, but a stock turbo evo can dip into the 10's and even lower with a few gs more mods? Like we can build our cars with 100 more ponies and then still get spanked by the now less powerful evo/sti?
