BNR stage 3 turbos

Can you still use the air pump for emissions ?

Thinking about switching after all these years? AFAIK, you can. Though, I have not attempted to do so.

It's for a California car...I also haven't ruled them out for myself as my stock single bit the dust last week. Mesquito trucks would have had envy on that day.

So you can run the air pump? I assume you run them what power are you making if I may ask and what injectors are you using?

Meant to say...

Hmmm...

The best are the knight Sports RF420, but they are very fragile!

Aftermarket T28 BB upgrades are as bad as the BNR's for response and power band, but at least they are reliable.

I suggest you go single turbo, look at my site for graphic real world testings as to why power and reliability all in one, with widest power band and least expense long term
Not what I have heard from those who own them...

You can use BNRs with any of the emissions stuff they are a direct swap for the stockers.

I don't have any personal experience but I have never heard of BNRs having any problem with reliability. They will have a touch more lag than the stocks because of the larger compressors. Though I have also never heard of anyone getting BNRs much over 18-19psi either so that may be all they can make.

I have read claims that BNRs are suppose to be reliable up to around 22psi or so but as I said I have never heard of them making that much.

Ill push my BNRs to the max in about a month time, with all the supporting mods and monitoring equipment to see what we can get out of em on seq setup. Ill get back on this.

Does anybody have a 400 rwhp dyno on these? I want to look at the curve.

Rich(GoodfellasFD3s) made 4xxHP(426?) on BNR Twins. I'm sure he'd chew the fat with you about them.

Here is sequential

*BNR Stage 3 sequential
*intake
*res midpipe
*RB exhaust
*PFS SMIC
*9 plugs all around
*HKS TP

I had ignition breakup. The car is tuned for very safe running on 91 octane - conservative timing and AFRs in the high 10s:1.





As you can see, I probably would have made 5-8 more rwhp without breakup and it holds that power from 6500-8000 rpm. Given my increase in rwhp per psi, I would estimate that I will make 370-375 rwhp at 15 psi with a very safe and conservative tune. The turbos and engine should last a long time at those power levels. I also have water injection to further reduce chance of detonation. I will probably only run 10-11 psi at the track -- while still making 308-320 rwhp.

If I went ***** out and ran 17-18 psi on 100 octane, I should be able to hit 400 rwhp with a safe conservative tune. But I don't run 100 octane on the street, so it ain't gonna happen right now.

I have a Innovatice wide-band and datalogit.

Can I use your map as a baseline ?

Thanks,

It isn't mine, I just did a search to see what was out there as I remember seeing some. I am thinking of going BNR seq also, that is a long way off though.

I've personally owned them. They are at worste a touch laggier than stock ( sequential ). If you were going to go non sequential I'd strongly advise spending a more $$ and go single.

I had mine running 17psi and they were a freaking blast. I had 1300 injectors for secondaries and ran out of fuel or I would have went higher. I also had my air pump and cat installed.

ps- it's INNOVATE not "innovative" (wideband) not sure why everyone has that confused...

+1--I can confirm the foregoing. I have a similar setup and its sequential. It has great lowend and at 17+ lbs it's an absolute beast.

It's an all around great setup that's reliable and hard to beat. (And passes Cali smog if that's important to you.)

Did you run 850 primaries with a PFC and pass Ca. smog?

My friend Greg has BNR's with an air pump and high flow cat. Its a California car. Might even pass smog. Its a mild street port rebuild with about 2500 miles on it. He is getting ready to tune. The car runs good, isn't too loud, and doesn't stink.

Not with the 850's--it was close, but the HC's were a bit too high; it might work with a brand new cat. It otherwise ran & idled ok. This seems to be an atomization issue related to the 850's, not an ECU problem. (I don't use a PFC. )

The stock 550's pass even with a large street port--so long as the air injection, ignition and CAT are working properly.

Hope this helps.

We can get it to pass with the 550's and the large street port we have. I would like to put the BNR's on the car and get more power but with stock 550's we run out of fuel and are boost limited. Not much of a gain versus the stock twins. Now if I can get the car to pass with 850's it's worth it. I wonder if it's possible to go bigger on the secondaries than the 1300's with the stock rail...

I don't have to worry about California emissions here in Virginia. The car I am working on is going back to California after I'm finished with it.

I was wondering what kind of finishes are available and how much they cost? Finishes like polished or maybe a ceramic coating.
