I drive a S4 with S/P motor, fuel upgrades(FCON), full exhaust and intake. I want to send my turbo off to get a BNR up grade im thinking a stage 3. does any one have any experience with this? What all should I have done to it I know that there are a few options. Any problems I will run into? just any info would be appreciated pros, cons good or bad experiences. THanks

 

yeah i want info too i want a seriers 5 turbo and i want the stage upgrade for it
anyone have info.
i am refering to the rx7store.net website

 

rx7store sells BNR upgrades. You may as well just go directly to brian and cut out the middle man. Id suggest just going to a local shop.

 

i was considering this also, BNR seems to be unaccessible. There websight has been down for a very long time also. Anyone know where we can contact BNR?? or how !??

 

BNR's website is currently being redone. In the meantime... bnrsupercars@aol.com

 

It's worth it. Bryan is good people and is good with the turbos. I have the Stage 2 and it makes a lot of power. How much? 330+rwhp. If I wanted more power than this I'd probably take the leap and go with a full T04S setup.

 

I got the stage 1 from Brian(probably should have went up more)last week. I have'nt had a chance to get on it and feel the pull....breaking in a new streetport. But it sure looks good..this is the same turbo that came with the car 76,000 miles...check how it looks now!!

Damn, I am gonna start savin my pennies for one of them...

 

Just go to alamo turbo. Theyll do the same work for the same price. Less waiting and no shipping ****.

 

t2 tsumami
how much was that.?
500$ right?
thats the one i want but i have a s4 i need a s5 turbo and manifold.
i just want the cheapest upgrade to give me a little more at the wheels
whats this other place
alamo ?

 

Or you could take a look here: www.majesticturbo.com in TX.

They upgraded my stock turbo for $585; even w/ a ported wastegate limiting me to about 7-8psi (haven't added a boost controller/fuel upgrade yet) I pulled on 2 or 3 stock-looking LS-1's in 3rd and 4th.
Comes all bead-blasted/shrinkwrapped - nice work...

 

585 isn't too bad
did they port the wastegate or did you?
shipping?

 

I'm looking at the invoice now and it reads as follows:

HT-18 REMAN & UPGRADE=STAGE 3 T/W 46/TRIM C/W 360* $585

OVER SIZE RINGS B/H $25

SHIPPING $40

In case you don't know t/w is turbine wheel, b/h is bearing housing, c/w is compressor wheel.
A buddy of mine did the same thing to his S4 but used a S5 manifold and turbo. At 10psi w/SAFC and 720's up top he ran a 13.08

And yes, they port the w/g - it's part of the process. These guys know their sh*t.

 

Brian does good work. If shipping is that much of an issue...well, do whatever. But I've dealt with BNR a lot and I'd buy lots of stuff from him. (Hell, My car will effectively be a BNR-mobile - bnr bigass streetport, bnr stage 4, among other things...)

 

So how bad would it be to do this to a S4 turbo? I know they have problems with boost creep, I was just going to port the **** out of the W/G and weld a bigger flapper door on. That should work slright shouldnt it??

 

$585 I think is a price for a stock compressor housing upgrade which is my stage 1. I sell it for $500 in a S5 form. The 87-88 has an enlarged puck assembly (30+mm) for $100 more. I need to get the site up and going again .

Take care, If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask...
