Bullseye claims to adding their Race Cover will add 80 whp to most apps......I'm thinking about trying this, anyone have experience?

This is their Race Cover

 

you mean that blue thing on the back? wouldn't that be a turbine cover? im all confused. the compressor isn't covered?

 

He is talking about the compressor housing

 

oh . sorry alan.

 

They tested it the other day and made 20hp at 14psi..

Yes, but that's a comparison between their old Race Cover and the New Race Cover. I'm talking about a 80 WHP gain from the Stock Cover and their new Race Cover. Specifically the S475.

 

Where did you get that 80 HP figure?

 

Straight from Bullseye.

 

you are talking about the compressor housing right? for me it it looks like a regular
compressor housing cover,what makes them so special?is beacuse the are polished on the inside?

That doesn't seem too far fetched. The inlet has a bit of a velocity stack vs the straight inlet of the stock cover. I have heard some people gain substantial amounts of HP from just running an air filter. I guess it directs the flow and reduces turbulence?

 

crispeed knows all about these, wonder if he'll post

 

Even a 20rwhp gain is impressive.

 

The new race cover has a 5" inlet instead of the 5.5" that you have.

 

Basically move more air with less compression, which equals less heat, so more charge density.

We picked up roughly 60hp (just under) just from switching covers on a large frame (T6) (76mm) turbo, so I believe HP can be made. The question is at what psi,(Enzo kinda hinted at it.) and switching from what size cover to what cover? There is room to make power in the inlet as well as size A/r. I've been trying to get ernie to put a larger comp cover on his for a while now.

um.. wonder how much i can gain from my GT42...anyone have prices or vendor.

 

i dont see it listed on their website

 

Most places sell the cover for $299, you might be able to find a deal though.

 

Do a search...it was done by the guys that built my unit. They might still offer a race cover upgrade to the GT42's.

 

you're only going to gain a bunch of power if your original compressor housing was mismatched to your setup in the first place. There's no proverbial silver bullet.

 

this could be the hot ticket for me, i got the s366.
