Professional Race Car Driver Reviews the Vivid Racing 996TT

Publishsed by Dan on May 23rd, 2008 | Posted in Random World | No Comments »

Bondurant Driving School instructor and Modified Magazine columnist Mike Speck, reviewed our Porsche 996TT and a customers 996TT, both cars with the Agency Power 650 Turbo Kits.  We met him at Firebird Raceway here in Phoenix, Arizona.  Firebird was nice enough to open up the strip for us to take some runs and shoot some video.  Unfortunately the tree was not on so we do not have any official times.  Our GTech was out of commission, so we went for the official butt dyno review.  Estimated timing with our simplistic tools was about a 120mph trap speed and a 11.5 sec run on the yellow 996TT.  The blue 996TT was more like a high11 second and a 115 mph trap speed.  These are very raw estimates and next time we will have our gadgets working!  As you can see, the yellow VR 996TT with the 650+ kit was a “land rocket”.  Running 109 unleaded and 1.4 bar of boost, screamed of anger.  Our customers Lapis Blue 996TT with the 650 kit was running very safe and conservative 1.1 bar of boost on 91 octane.  As well, this car once in boost screamed and was definitely impressive.

Agency Power has just released their all new carbon fiber cold air intake kit for the Porsche 996 Turbo.  Based off their other aluminum box, this carbon fiber unit adds a sense of style and quality to the engine bay of the Porsche.  The intake utilizes the factory air snorkel to guide air in and across a colored silicone tube to the left box which houses a K&N air filter for maximum performance.  As tested on a Mustang AWD Dyno, the cold air intake kit produced 32 wheel horsepower and 22 ft/lbs of torque in the mid RPMs.  Check out all the info and pictures of the Agency Power Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake Kit Here.

New Race GT35R Race Turbo Kit for EVO VIII IX

Publishsed by Dan on May 21st, 2008 | Posted in Product Info | 2 Comments »

Agency Power released their first EVO turbo kit back in 2004 for the original EVO VIII. This piece was put to the test on big tracks like Willow Springs and Buttonwillow in California, as well as many others here in Arizona. We upgraded the original design which used a T3/T4 turbo to Garrett GT turbos and now, Agency Power has completely redesigned the EVO VIII and IX turbo kit. The new GT turbo kit features a redesigned high flow header with a true merged collector. Using all 321 stainless steel and precision TIG welds, the header is designed to maximize your power and improve turbo spool up. Using thick CNC machined flanges, the kit will bolt up without any modifications to the factory radiator assembly. The kit uses either a GT35R or GT30R turbo and a Tial 38mm external wastegate. The kit includes the O2 housing which connects via a band clamp to the supplied high flow 3 inch downpipe. The external wastegate dump pipe bolts to the wastegate and is routed in a safe manner.

To further improve the kit, Agency Power includes a lower intercooler pipe to fit with the factory or aftermarket intercoolers. This intercooler pipe is then finished in a textured black color. We also supply a new turbo suction pipe which features a blow off valve return port. This is also finished in a textured black color. If you are retaining your factory MAF sensor, we include our CNC machined aluminum MAF adapter and K&N high flow cone air filter. The kit then includes all necessary oil and water lines with fittings needed to connect to the factory locations. Finally, we supply Agency Power 5ply silicone couplers and all necessary clamps needed.

As tested on a stock 4G63 motor, we have seen this turbo setup produce more then 550 horsepower and on a built 2.3L or 2.4L engine in excess of 700 horsepower. Corresponding components are necessary to maximize performance. These components would include: ECU Tuning, Larger Injectors, Exhaust, Intercooler, Cams, Spark Plugs, and other related performance items. For further information, check out the attached pictures and contact a sales representative for further assistance.
