Sweet! what else is done to your car to support the 20-22psi?

 

i'm still waiting on those videos guys! sorry cant wait to see how this thing performs

 

I finally got an e-mail out to the guys at kg but never got a responce back. so i was wondering how much air this thing will move and whats the a/r, trim size is on the r85?

 

pm rxrotary2_7 or rotor_dee and ask them.

 

i'd like to know as well...

Here are some specs/dimensions

 

thanks for the link! also let us know how your car is doing with this kit.

 

I did reply. I also just FWD'ed you the original reply again.

 

He has outgrown it. He is now making over 800 on an R100.

 

Another 10k worth of stuff on the powertrain. Honestly its too much to list but some of its in my sig. Also KD usually goes for higher boost because of their antidet mod so that's why it looks so high compared to the boost others are running.

 

Haltec e6k, basic street port, Jaytec manifold, 80mm acufab TB. We have
several dynos with stock manifold also. Our highest at 23psi on stock
manifold was 592. We have decided that no dyno sheets will ever be provided
for anything we do. All they have done is caused problems with people
calling BS. I guess this is the exact reason you never see any other
manufacture post sheets of what the turbos they are selling make. After
getting rid of the haltech in favor of a Tec3, high boost pulls on this
turbo we were able to extract another 80 hp.

1.15

It does fine with what we have tested. One local guy running this everyday
in his daily driver runs on pump gas and has been fine. He would be the guy
to break something... I can even remember how many motors he went through
before he let Dee tune the car. Since then (early summer) he has been 100%
happy and still drives like a mad man on pump.

Thanks,

Thanks it just came two days ago. (the e-mail)

Who was doing the tuning when you were popping motors?

 

it is a kkk/bw/schwitzer. how do you buy a turbo kit and not even know what turbo it comes with.

 

also is anyone running the power fc with the r85 kit?

Oh ya off subject is anyone else having problems staying loged in? everytime i change to a new page I get loged out.

 

What issue is that car in? (of mod mag)

 

fdracer I believe his statement was it was not a holset. And specifically not the holset that ernie had to rebuild multiple time wich it is not as I am very familiar with ernies setup. It is a Borq Warner Air Werks turbo I have been using these turbos for quite some time on both my race car and daily drivers and they have been very reliable. The low mean time between failures on the BW/Airwerks turbos is why many racers like vinny ten, brent rau and myself favor them. Parts are readily available and if you do throw a apex seal through one it (hopefully not) the cost of ownership is low.

 

his post says nothing about a holset. regardless i know it's a great turbo i use 'em too. what makes these deisel turbos great for drag is the huge housings and turbine wheel.

 

He would never have the motor long enough to allow anyone to tune before his foot just got to heavy, he just could not resist no matter what happened to the car. I tuned it once myself and we did 4th gear pulls to redline without a problem, but a few weeks latter that motor let go as well... then again I am not a professional tuner. locals said his car was cursed. LOL

 

So the r85 is a smaller turbo then the gt40r?

 

Realatively.... it has a smaller comp wheel, but it uses a bigger turbine wheel. It has the 1.15 AR while the GT40R comes with a .81, .95, 1.06 you chose.

So yes it has a smaller compressor wheel, but it may have a little bigger exhaust wheel, even though they both have a 3inch V-Band output.

So how does the r85 make more power then the gt40r or the to4r? Also if im reading all this correctly the r85 is a borg warner turbo?

 

I was certain the inducer on a 40r was 64-65 mm. Damn shame I didnt get the 1.06 like I ordered.

 

when i said kkk i meant the kkk/holset/stage 2 turbo that sr sells. i do know what turbo it is and have known all along. it isnt my business to disclose anything.

 

disclose what? this is the most widely used turbo in the world. i've pointed out what it is before and idiots like you and erniet jump down my throat like it's an insult that the turbo is a bw.

 

I see a lot of fluff and no substance, no dynos, no timeslips, no lap times, no autocross times, no video, nothing...just a bunch of people talking like they are cartoon characters in another FF movie.

The "butt dyno" isn't going to feel lag on a turbo that size because when it does kick in it will pull very hard and you won't notice the slow start anymore (the start really isn't that long) and truthfully except for stuff like autocross or just punching it on the freeway lag shouldn't really matter much.

Grow up guys, while there certainly is a "black art" to tuning rotary engines share what you're doing, this isn't F1 and you didn't just discover the magic bullet to turn Minardi into Ferrari. Through discussion you certainly can only learn more.

 

who jumped down your ******* throat? i have never said that the turbo isnt a bw. please explain why i am an idiot. when the turbo kit was being made i was told not to disclose anything about the size and specs on the turbo. you can go **** off.
