is anyone running a t-78 w/ a street ported motor that is emissions legal like the one in Turbo magazine? I would like to know any details because i want to swap. I live in DE so I have emissions testing like every 2 years, and i really do not want to swap all that stuff back and forth every 2 years.

What I want to know is how RICE is getting 500 some odd HP out of a T04B... I have heard all the people that say bigger is better and then they give some cockamamy story about how you get more power with less boost but I just don't quite understand how that is. If you are not beyond the efficiency level of the turbo so the turbo is not working so hard that it is superheating the air, then what is the bennifit? How much air can you pump through a 2 rotor engine? A T66 is rated at 72lbs a minute. What does that equate to in HP and who is actually pushing that much? Yet we have plenty of people that are running much bigger turbos and still only getting in the low 400RWHP range. This I do not understand.

Its all based on the tuning and how much hp they are shooting for.. You can have a t-78 and still only have 400 or so hp if you dont turn up the boost 2 a decent level. Some just go 2 a bigger turbo so they can get just where the stockers max out and run low boost for realiablity reasons. just my .02 worth..

Yellow Dragon is no more
Ok RICE talks in BHP not RWHP .... he also uses a very large AR and tunes his car for road racing so his turbo, engine, & tranny are all matched up. He also turnes some real nice RPMs too.

Machinehead i know what your talking about.. Truth is i dont like the greddy kits so whoever wants to flame me go ahead.> But i think those kits are a waste of money. And i've seen plenty of to4's make some serious power(~700hp) on certain cars.
What i would recommend if you really want to make power and keep it streetable is to get a garrett turbo(T45). It will outflow the T66 by 30% and it's in a t04 housing not the big Turbonetic T series.

enzo. I think everbody including me agrees that those are nice turbos (GT45), but it seems that nobody has them... exept for those Austrailian guys... what's up with that?!!!

Hey machinehead. My good friend just got a serious connection to get those turbos. Or any garrett turbo! We would always get turbonetics because we could never get garrett but now we have the source. And the pricing is not bad either. Im going to get one after the holidays and if anyone is interested i could get a few of these if you guys want, we could probably get a better deal that way.

I am pretty new to rotaries....I am very close to purchasing an RX7 with a T88 Greddy turbo......but he mentioned he has a "bridgeport" done on it....along with all the goodies...I am still trying to understand if this "bridge"port is possible and if the Apex seals he has would stand the power and boost.....what do you guys think?
Thanks

Lag issue
I'm running T60-1. LOVE IT. I get 430+ with the cat in and off pump gas. If you remove the cat though, the lag is virtually gone. How it helps I'd love someone to explain to me, but it does! Anyway, I also run water sprayers to my intercooler, you guys wouldn't believe how much that helps. Hell, I just fill the reservoir with crushed ice and turn on the sprayers when I want to get on it.

I posted this on another thread, but thought I might try my luck here. I'm new so don't flame me, What about running a larger turbo (T-78, 88) with a smaller helper turbo to help the lag? Would this set up be pratical, if even possible? What type of things would be needed in order to complete this set up?
Thanks
Thanks
