[VIDEO] This 2024 Corvette E-Ray is Getting Twin Turbos…but First it’s Dyno Time

While we are waiting for the results of Lingenfelter’s 2024 Corvette E-Ray supercharger build, we came across another tuning shop that will be doing the first twin-turbo version of the E-Ray. We had featured Roshan of Boost District previously back in February this year as he claims the world record for a supercharged Corvette Stingray which ran the quarter mile in 9.97 seconds at 146.83 mph.

Since then, Roshan has picked up a 2024 Corvette E-Ray and the goal of this project is 1,000 horsepower with a twin-turbo setup from Extreme Turbo Systems. But first, he makes a trip to the dyno to run the baseline performance numbers.

While he’s on the way to the dyno, Roshan explains that he wants to do some myth busting by running the car on the dyno first just before it reaches its 500-mile break-in. He explains that there’s a myth for the last four years that more power comes following the car reaching its break-in point, which then unlocks the tachometer and resets the redline to 6500 RPM. By the time he travels to where the dyno is located, he believes he’ll be at around 498 miles.

Roshan says he always recommends reaching the manufacturers break-in point before doing any mods but explains that they are hard on their own cars so that they can better learn when it comes to modifying your cars.

In the two dyno runs that he runs prior to reaching 500 miles, his max horsepower at the wheels shows 501.3 and 506.6 while the torque figures are 594.45 and 593.11 respectively. After reaching the 500-mile break-in, he had another two dyno runs and they produced 518.12 hp and 524.45 hp while the torque was 597.78 and 597.46. The first runs are when the engine is cold (or cooler) while the second run represents the engine warmed up. In the final dyno run, he says the E-Ray’s batter was nearly depleted and horsepower fell to 477.57 while the torque came in at 592.46. We’re not sure why it made the most torque of all the runs with the battery nearly depleted, but that’s what it shows:

These numbers are considerably different than what we saw when Paragon Performance ran their E-Ray on a similar DynoJet system that was set up to measure AWD. They recorded 573.04 whp and 630.07 lb-ft of torque compared to Boost District’s best run of 524.45 hp and 597.46 lb-ft of torque. When asked about that in the comments, Roshan replied, “We did all our pulls in 4th gear, it will pick up 3-4% of power in 5th gear. Some Dynos read high, some Dynos read high. It’s a tuning tool in the end of the day. We’ll be back on the same exact Dyno once we’re done with the car and show our gains to compare apples to apples.”

Roshan wraps up the video by talking about how they are hoping to make the twin-turbo install on the C8 Corvette as easy as doing a cat-back install, so we’ll be watching more to see how it comes about.
