[VIDEO] 879 RWHP @ 28psi burning corn!
Here is a video on the dyno of the SCupra running e85 at 28 psi with my little 71mm turbo while Darin is tuning. It was a fairly respectable pull making 879.3rwhp

Here is a video of the Titan Motorsports carbon fiber driveshaft exploding on the next pull.

The dyno read 848 rwhp when the shaft exploded. It was a horrifying sound.
The car should have made well over 900 to the wheels @ 34psi on e85.
Luckily no one was injured or killed. I don't want to think what the outcome would have been at the track or on the highway.
Everything that I have purchased from Titan has officially failed catastrophically, been replaced, and/or rebuilt. It is so frustrating when you pay a premium for supposedly the best parts only to find out they are junk or have extremely poor quality control (I won't even comment on the customer service of this company, I could write a book on that). This was offically the last part from Titan that had not been replaced or fixed. I will be replacing the drive shaft with a chromoly one from The Driveshaft Shop and see 900+ soon.

Very nice, outstanding bro
Sorry to hear about all the issues you had.... get the new DS and turn it up
What Turbo are you running the old gts 71 or the new cEA billet 71?
Any hint on the setup i remember you are on the 3.4l

Yeah, and a very scary, loud "down"
I hope to have the new DS next week (read hope). The turbo IS billet. The engine IS stroked. I am now running a custom fuel system. Darin will soon be making kits(I think). What is unique about this system is, you do not have to remove the the stock fuel pump! It uses twin 044's. I am also running 1600cc injectors. That is enough hinting ATM. I will update with more pictures and videos soon.

It seems low compared to all these Florida Supra's running around ;-) The power is already too much for the 315 mickey DR's. Luckily I have a RaceLogic TC which keeps it under control a little.

General idea of what is mostly still the same on the car. (I think)

Congrats on your numbers, sucks about your driveshaft though, just glad no one got hurt and all the car needs is a driveshaft. However this is nothing new regarding Titan and there poor customer service. It's a miracle that they are still in business. They must sell a ton of parts because the shop sucks.why do you think Darin left and started his own business? After he left things really got worst. Im sure that he was tired of all the the BS there. That Nero is a work of art, he sucks as a business owner,him and his overpriced labor as if titans labor is gold or something. As if they can miracally do things others cant! Thank god for his brother bottle or else that place would sink..
let me stop ranting before I really let you guys know about Titan
