MOTIV Motorsport/PTF Hardware release

Allen@MOTIV · 08-03-2014, 09:53 AM

Hey guys, we are thrilled to finally make public the hardware we have been designing and testing of the last ~18 months.

MOTIV Direct drop in LPFP system upgrade. This system will be 100% plug and play. Simply remove your old bucket, drop in the new one(using factory connectors)and run an 8AN line using the routing of the factory hose and you are done. This design will change a little before going into full production.

MOTIV PI fuel system. Makes use of Bosch fuel injectors being driven by the customers choice of options(AEM, proEFI etc.) In this configuration the fuel system can support upwards of 1000hp.

PTF twin disc clutch setup. We are proud to present a twin disc setup we have been working with SPEC to produce and manufacture. Offering a torque rating of +900ftlbs but better drivability than some of the other higher output rated single clutch designs currently available.

MOTIV single turbo Kit. This series of pictures shows the progression of the assembly of the manifold and final assembled product. You may be wondering why we went with a bottom mount short runner style manifold and the answer is this: it works the best. We went through designing and testing 7 manifold designs(some just small variations but others complete redesigns) over the course of over a year before finally selecting this design. The great thing about having a fully prepped and dedicated road course/time attack car is that we are able to simulate extended use and wear in a short amount of time. Using a top mount manifold design just simply never worked. Rather than the heat spooling the turbo and then evacuating it would simply radiate in the engine bay creating limp mode inducing oil temps in 2-3 laps and eventually causing valve cover gasket cracking/leaking and other soft part failure. Add to that the 500-600rpm delay in spool compared to using the same turbos in a bottom mount configuration it made the design choice easy.

It is a short runner style manifold but far from just run of the mill stuff. Using relatively large ID runners we are able to maintain flow at higher engine speeds but still have unmatched spool. Using 100% CNC billet material and the best fabrication skills available to finalize and assemble to components means a manifold design that will never crack, leak, warp or otherwise fail.

OH my, the holy grail here

M.a.r.k.u.s · 08-12-2014, 03:15 PM

can't decide if I'm more excited about the turbo upgrade or more worried that my steptronic can't handle all that power

GR1P · 08-12-2014, 04:39 PM

Curious if there's a way to tune this on an unsupported/unflashable n55 DME like us 2012 and 2013 guys.
