Gotham Racing & BNR Supercars -- Pulling It All Together
You may have read or heard about the tuning session held last weekend in Birmingham. If you weren’t able to be there, you missed a great time. Everyone there was there for one reason, to help everyone else there get the most out of their engines. This was my first time at such an event, and I could not have come away more excited about the outcome. Even though things did not go perfectly, I managed to get exactly what I was after and know what I need to do to get even more.
I left with a dyno sheet showing two of the sweetest looking curves I have seen, showing maximums of 422HP and 340.8 ft/lbs of torque. The sheet is posted in the thread titled BNR Stage 3's + Steve Kan = DYNO SHEET!!!. I have since had several questions about what I was running. I spent the last 2+ years working on this project. Prior to that, my engine was bare-bones stock. I spent countless hours researching what it would take to get what I wanted, realizing that I still needed to keep my expectations reasonable. The two areas I was most concerned about were the engine porting and the turbos. Once those choices are made, it is kind of hard to undo. After reading everything I could find about every rotary engine builder around, it was a no-brainer. Steve Kan was the obvious choice. Not only did he have an incredible reputation as a builder, his skill as a tuner was unquestionable. After getting a new reman sent to Steve at Gotham to have an aggressive street port done, I continued looking into options for turbos. Personally, I have always been in favor of sticking with the twins. I have always preferred quick spooling to big boost numbers. Naturally, I came across numerous discussions about BNR Supercars Stage 3 turbos. I read everything I could, both the good and the bad, and then finally gave Bryan a call, which turned into a number of calls and long discussions about where he was in development. I was finally convinced that the latest design had real potential. I think I was one of the first to receive a set of the current design. When I picked them up, they were immaculate. Now, for everything else that went into the build. There is nothing special or outrageous. However, you have to cover all the bases. Absolutely nothing that comes from the factory that is used in the process of building horsepower and torque can be left stock. If you do, you are leaving in limitations that cannot be made up for by just throwing more into something else. In fact, addressing everything allows you to actually be less aggressive in some areas. For example, the injectors I have are the stock 550 primaries and 1300 secondaries. I have another primary fuel rail with 850’s, but was reluctant to install them, already having concerns that my fuel pump would have trouble with what was already there. Even though I had installed an upgraded Nippondenso fuel pump, I still ended up having fuel pressure start to drop at top end. A few have been asked if I was running 93 pump gas. No. My engine had barely 1000 miles on it, and I was not about to take the chance of detonation, so I was running pure race gas. As a result, the numbers produced were a little lower than they could have been, but I would rather be safe than sorry. I don’t have to worry about street driving since I have a second program in the AVC-R that limits it to approximately 12 PSI, and I can run all day on that and still produce better than 350 HP. As for all the add-ons, see my signature. But, without a doubt, the 3 most critical items were engine porting, the selection of turbos, and the all too critical tuning. And for these, I must thank Steve of Gotham Racing and Bryan of BNR Supercars. Without them, I never would have been able to come close to my goal. Steve’s porting cannot be touched. If you could have watched the boost being monitored on the AVC-R as we ran pull after pull on the dyno with every improving results, you too would undoubtedly have been impressed by the rate and curve of the boost build. Bryan has produced something here that will make a lot of people think twice about discarding the use of twins, and rightfully so. Finally, Steve’s ability to tune can best be compared to a cross between an artist and a surgeon. What I had gone into the session with I thought was a well running engine, paled in comparison to the end result, with Steve nearly doubling the final HP output. Again, Bryan and Steve, I cannot thank you two enough. I look forward to even greater achievements in the future. Likewise, thanks to everyone else that showed up and helped out. I made a lot of good friends last weekend, and I hope to see all of you again soon. Finally, thanks to everyone on the forum that have helped over the last 2 years and that have encouraged me all along the way. Thanks! David |
Great dyno sheet! I'm a little jealous...
Can't wait to see what it does once you go fully non-seq and not just wired open. Great to meet you too! |
Good stuff, and congrats Mr. Tanksley. I had no doubts that the BNRs had this kind of potential, or they wouldnt be bolted onto my FD right now. 450 or bust :):D!
|
Sounds like a great time Steve and Bryan are both great guys..
|
Good job on the dyno David, I wish I would have been there to see it.
|
Good to hear that you finally got a chance to tune. :)
Are you gonna ditch the sequential system and go full nonsequential? I must say I was also impressed by Brian and Steve. They are both great guys that seem to know what they are talking about. |
What about some pics of this exquisite automobile?
|
Those are some really impressive numbers. Those BNRs look like a real winner.
|
We had Steve come to Knoxville in the summer and do some tuning. I have to say that it was the best money I had ever spent on the car. I don't have anything good to say about Bryan, but that is because I haven't had any business with him, yet.:)
|
Can you post your dyno graph on the www.catenet.net-dyno.php so we can compare the end result? Nice numbers! What is the most anyone has made on stock or hybrid twins before? I would guess Mr. Tanksley is at the top of that list???
|
David, it was nice to meet you, I'm the guy that had my little girl with me haha. Your car looks great and I'm sure feels even better. You should be proud of it!!! I know what you've been thru man, its a LOT of work. Takes a lot of time and effort to work out all the details so that the end result comes out bug free. I'm glad its all worked well for you.
Also, for those of you that dont know...his twins are set up to run seq however, he had transition problems on the dyno and it was wired to non seq. What this means is that all the oem seq flappers, ect are still in place and he STILL made this power. It tells me that its definatly feasable to make this power with a seq car. Someone should post the dyno sheets and Davids car pic on this thread. That way a year from now people will be able to see it. Congrats man!!! Stephen |

congrats on the great numbers. we'll see how much love you have for the twins after you suffer your first turbo control related issue.
|
I wish I was there to see it.. i thought about calling Brian on sunday night.. but someone went by earlier and said no one was there..
Anyhow.. Awesome numbers!! Hope you could make it to the Deals Gap event so I can check out your car. |

no sour grapes here brother!!! just reacting to his "rethinking" twins argument. I didn't realize he was rigged for parallel running. couldn't read the whole post-too long. however twins rigged parallel doesn't exactly strengthen the argument for twins from my viewpoint (might as well be single). Some good numbers regardless-better than my rx6.

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Some have asked for pictures, so I have posted a few here. Also, after those, I have listed all mods that have been done. All this has been done over the last 2 years, and with the exceptions of porting the engine and building the turbos, I have done all the work myself, with the help of my very understanding and supportive wife.

You know all you guys talk that question about if its better than going single need to look at more single turbo charts. Let me break it down for everyone like this....the twin turbo cars have a nice wide hp curve. This car is making an average of 415-420rwhp from 6500-8000. Eventhough he tuned the car with race gas for safety since it was initial tuning he could run pump gas with no problem and it would create MORE power on pump gas. He would probably average more lik 425+rwhp thru the entire hp range. You guys go out and find me some ligit single turbo sheets that show a significat amount more hp than this car......I think for it to be worth the extra effort and cost of going single it needs to show an AVERAGE of 450+rwhp @ 17psi. And reamember, we arent talking peak...we are talking average hp from 6500-8000. Find them and lets compare and we'll see how big of a turbo you need to significantly beat this setup.....then when you find one that beats it from 6500-8000 compare the rest of the graph and see how it looks.
I think you guys that keep hollering single just dont look at enough sheets and you dont look at anything but peak. Why do you think twin cars making about 400rwhp are trapping 125mph and single turbo cars need closer to 450rwhp for the same traps? Its because of the average hp. Go out and compare then when you find some post them up so we can see what you found. I think instead of everyone just saying things they should start backing it up with some real data, its all out there just go get it. Stephen |
But Stephen, singles are just....better! ;)
Nice car and great non-seq power curve. I had my reservations regarding the former Stage IIIs but people seem to be getting good sets of turbos with the new ones. Congratulations, have fun! |
I saved some of you the trouble, here is a list of EVERY 17psi dyno sheet available on Wargasm's comparison website (David is car #178). There are is a set of twins, a couple upgrades and the rest are singles ranging from a GT35/40 to a T78 to a single build to Steve Kans specs. Most were tuned well as the T66 was Steve Kan's personal car and the T78 was a RP car.
I wish Davids was on that site so it would be an even easier comparison and you would have to look back and forth between his sheet and the graph but I'm sure you all can manage. http://dyno.zeroglabs.com/graph.php?...1&SUBMIT=GRAPH Out of all the 17psi graphs on there only 3 even have a higher peak, out of those 3 one of them had boost creep to 22psi so it doenst count. Out of the remaining 2 ones curve is very small so the average is probably about the same or less than Davids and that other one was running mix of alcohol/water injection. Those remaining 2 were only about 10rwhp more than Davids dyno anyway, I HARDLY consider that being worth swaping to single turbo. The ONLY reason you would want a single over these twins is if you were planning on running a lot of boost or if you were going to go HUGE like a T72 or larger. Enjoy...... Stephen |

Lets not forget this car could have just as easily been running SEQ instead of non seq and he should have made the same power up top because he still has all the flappers in his exhaust.
Now, as for this laggieness being non seq, that probably has some to do with him having all the seq stuff still there AND because he was being tuned with race gas. If he was on pump gas it would make more power all over. If you look at my dyno which is car #76 you'll see I made more down low and midrange. It could have been because I removed all the seq items but was probably due to the fact that I was on pump gas and not quiet so rich as him. To put it simple when you run with race gas as a precaution you end up being rich. That way when you run with pump gas its going to lean out some and make more power (all over low, mid, upper range) and spool better. Also, if you notice Davids car had substantially more mid range from 5000-6500 than the T78 car did. Keep in mind the T78 car was running alcohol/water injection which means it can run more advanced tuning which makes a HUGE difference. Look at the RP T78 car and other T78 car, thier low end and midrange is horrible compared to Davids. Anyway, I didnt really want to nit pick every dyno sheet in existance, I just wanted to show that going with a single turbo even as large as a T78 isnt going to get you hardely any gain if any at all. People saying they would hold out for single just dont look at dyno sheet comparisons enough. I just wanted to show the point that to really benifit from single at this boost level you need to go BIIGGGG like T72 or larger. |
i dont know if anyone has said this or not but... there seem to be alot of people who have never worked on, driven, built or maintained a 400hp car yet seem compelled to say things. like they are chaneling dead crazy people. 400+hp that idles and can get drive-thru with the radio on is a def winner.
|
Congrats!! Nice #'s!!
|
Glad to hear that you finally made it to the dyno and with good results. I hope me and Poss were a help and not a hindrance in finding and correcting any issues with the car. Apprantly it runs well!
I should get an untuned dyno in a few weeks....if, for nothing more, comparison's sake... Hope all is well and see you soon around AL |
Car looks great as do the numbers.. I needed 19-20psi to make those numbers on my gt40r (on stock ports).
400rwhp and over is a blast! You should be very proud. |
I'm worried about the condition of the stock turbine housing, at 100k miles all of the FD twinturbo I saw have crack somewhere on the turbo, mostly on the exhaust housing. Mine actually had a big crack inside the housing and was chewing up the wheel. How long would the housing last with BNR upgrade?
|
The RP T78 car has a high flow cat in it. if you look at the article in the magazine, you'll see that this car is/was emissions legal and passes it with ease. I don't recall if the car has a stock port or street port but it was all plain bolt-ons. That's why you see such a lag in turbo spool because of the back pressure. As for my #'s, that was done 7 years ago. I'm sure that I could have done better, smoother torque and more hp if I'm doing the same car over again. Still not bad considered that was a 7yr old dyno chart. :)

Also, great detective work spo. I am wishing I would have stayed seq, I think that is definitely the hot ticket :). |

Ahhh, someone should add that to the dyno info. (Wargasm if you read this can you add on that RP T78 chart that it was running a high flow cat?). Anyway, I hope you didnt take my thread as putting anyone down. I was mearly trying to show that when you look at average hp through the rpm range these twins hang right in there with the single turbos. Even the larger medium sized ones like a T78. And yes, your right making over 400rw was very much an accomplishment 7 years ago. There werent many single turbo rx7's back then, much less one that ran right. You did a good just tuning Davids car Stephen |
Ill put my Singleturbo setup, up against twin set up anyday.
Not to say my SINGLE is out of the ordinary. With a Good tune by Dee of RR racing its a bat out of hell. Granted the stage 3 twins are sweet.. BUT they start losing WIND after 20psi.. Correct me if im wrong.. Don't forget.. Singles with beefed up Fuel system can PUSH up to 32PSI and more. Some where in teh SINGLEturbo section, somebody was running 32psi with supporting single mods.. was SMOKING his tires and going sideways at 130mph.. Find me some TWINS that can do that... next issue would be.. HOW Long would twins last pushing 19psi?? one other thing.. when we all start talking about upgraded stage 3 twins and big Single turbos and etc.. Whats all this talk about Lag??? All I want to say is " What lag"""???? Some of you actually go WOT at IDLE?? just to have something to whine about??? |
I think the big question that wont be answered for a while is how reliable are these going to be running 17+lbs of boost all the time. Good #'s though.
Someone needs to tune that RP T-78 car because that graph sucks :) Jason |

I find it humerous that you would say "singles with beefed up fuel system can PUSH up to 32psi and more". So you going to lump all "singles" into that category and feed everyone full of bull shit? Why would you make a blanket statement about singles and psi that besically means nothing and is incorrect? Why dont you list out all the turbos that you can run 32psi on with a single, I bet I can list a lot more turbos that CANT run 32psi. Are YOU running 32psi with your single that Dee tuned??? How much boost are your running? What single you have? I think you missed the entire point anyway. The point was that on pump gas (17psi or less) the twins are going to hold thier own agaist any single thats smaller than a T72. No one knows if they will contunue making power at higher boost or not because no one has had them over 17psi. BTW - You take your car down a track yet? What were you running and at what boost? Davids car will be good for about 125-127mph traps on pump gas. What are your traps on pump gas? Stephen |

>>Why dont you list out all the turbos that you can run 32psi on with a single, I bet I can list a lot more turbos that CANT run 32psi.<<
Are you serious ???? any T-series turbo or big-shaft turbo will run 30+++psi >>I think you missed the entire point anyway.

No one knows if they will contunue making power at higher boost or not because no one has had them over 17psi.<< Sorry, I could name a few that will outflow those twins @14-17psi.....T70, T66, T64, TE-63 and possibly a 62-1 wheel. Any of them will make over 400rwh @ 15psi. >>Davids car will be good for about 125-127mph traps on pump gas. What are your traps on pump gas? Stephen << Easier said then done !!! I respect the hp numbers from the modified twins *but* lets not overrate them and say they're better then any single turbo at a given boost. Those exhaust housings and manifold could only flow so much before your turbine inlet pressure gets dangerously high. Time will tell.................. JD |
can I assume you have steves stage 3 street port?
bryan should have my turbo done in four days or so. Steve is getting it overnighted and we should see my dyno sheets within the next week or so. I am running a t62-1 kit with just about everything. The goals I set were 430 to the wheels at 16-17 psi. I have steves stage 3 port but am running unclipped wheels in order to keep more umpf down low. There is a bit of custom experimentation going on with my car. I am anxious to see how it does after all the research and hard work. it will be good to compare these two cars asap I think....a good idea where they stand when the motor and single are built by the same two that built the twins and ported motor in this thread. I think steve and bryan will agree...assuming my car does great on the dyno. I am considering testing mine on two different dynos in order to insure accuracy of numbers. best of luck with your car. I hope it holds up for a long time. Go kill some vipers or something. Jason Jason |
Does BNR have a website? I cant find it.
|
Keep telling yourself that buddy. I doubt you even have a clue...
These stage 3's are a great upgrade! I had the choice between any single and the stage 3's, I picked the right set! |

It's just a pic and his number right now. |
So you keep changing screen names because you make stupid comments too much and have to change to hide???

If I remember correctly, that's around 380 whp for me. Of course, I suck at going from a stop, so I'll have to practice some more if that's your race. |
>>I will run ANY single turbo on pump gas with my BNRs without reservation. Any NJ area takers?<<
Rich, you're kidding right? I'll take you on that offer.....just to prove a point !!! This BNR thing is getting out of hand. I'm sure Bryan has gone thru great lenghts to offer a "modified oem twin-turbo" that would offer more performance over a stock set ....just like others have tried. To say they outperform any single turbo at a given boost is ridiculous!!!! Let's just say ......they're a good alternative for those who want run less then 20psi and maintain stock appearance *but* not the IDEAL choice. Look at the dyno sheet......full boost @ 4.5krpm !!! Here's a comparison of my stocks twins(18psi), BNRs and a GR67 turbo running same boost(17psi) and both GR67 and BNRs tuned by Steve. BNRs spool up like a single. Looking forward to a nice open highway pull.... JD |
