Typical n54 is people that get offered Dyno numbers wanting drag results. When presented with drag results they have to shit on them.

This is the only platform I've seen where people actively try to crap on anyone else's success. Rather than congratulate someone for running a good time on a budget setup, with the product this thread is about no less, the first thing done is say it's bs, and come up with absurd conspiracy theories as to why it's not a valid time. Not only was a timeslip provided, but video of said run, and it's still picked apart and accused of being false.
Well said

I agree it can get annoying when everyone looks for the negatives in results before congratulating. That being said I have a very hard time accepting results from a vendor or people pushing the product. That seems to be the case for most of the DAW "results". Not to say they are bad turbos and no capable, but the math just doesn't add up on the run IMO. The same turbos on a rwd car, helix, e50 on 24psi made 537whp. So on 22psi let's call it 520whp. 520whp in a 4000lb car is not trapping 130+.

I agree I think that was a spray pass there's no way it's going 131 on 22 psi

If the N54 community put the effort they do of arguing in meaningless threads into their cars instead, we might actually have people over 1K Hp

Yup It was 540whp with a misfire on a 200k mile n54 and just rained on the way to the dyno, tuner isn’t pushing timing either,
also those are the” pre-revised” turbo wheels.

The 10.9 pass was valid from a dig at 22psi or 30 psi who knows, who cares (no log)
It’s bring what ya got where i’m from regardless of psi/hp.

If my 160k mile stock junk on an OTS map can run 11.9x and trap 116mph in a pig e90 xdrive with my fat ass driving it, i would sure as hell hope a set of turbos and supporting mods can pull another second and 15mph worth of trap. Friend of mine trapped 122 in a beat to hell manual rwd e90 spinning like a bitch with jb4 and blend bef. This isnt a far stretch for upgraded turbos. Its not that this is a fast pass, its that every other run you see is bad.

This is an auto xdrive with fast spooling twins, you guys are seeing an efficient pass. You normally see times for manual/auto rwd cars that cant lay the power down or have other variables, driver/traction/conditions/etc. That makes your expectations low.

I think the turbos are good I defended in other thread. I also think this hpfp overdrive is great. Like I said I could be wrong . On my phone I couldn't even see the board with time in video so to me the video doesnt verify. If you can see it on computer then nevermind. I honestly would think 1.7 60ft and that trap should be 10.7 pass. Idk it's fast either way just video seemed sketchy with some def bs in it.

3 pages of drag racing nonsense and not one mention of the public tables still being missing, no word on the billet bracket, nor anything else on the startup/idle issue?
Spool states on there website that all major tuners have access to the tables and they will give them to you upon request.

It was promised? I'm all set personally, aside from the vibration issues

Ya it was promised but I think they might've jumped the gun on that and now rethought and don't want to release them publicly just speculation. But all 3 people I know personally have the startup vibration issue. I think it's because it over pressurizes the hpfp because on startup and idle there is hardly and rail pressure needed and I think it spikes initially and then mellows out not sure just speculation and observation.

I also think that because the helix is such a simple design and concept they may not want hijackers developing one and then undercutting there business

And when will the billet replacement part be available? Any idea on cost?
I believe they will be sending out the bullet piece to all future helix orders and spool performance will most likely provide you with the tables if you are self tuning.
