He has a friend that updates his website on the side. I'm sure they will be up there shortly

Its no prob man, I'm also a skeptic most of the time

I can definately vouch for the turbos. Took a ride in Rich's car Saturday night, absolutely amazing. He was running 15 pounds, and was pulling uber hard in every gear. Didn't make it to 5th though, I might've wet my pants.

So does anyone make an upgraded twin manifold???
Surely, someone (japanese tuners) must make one.
I bet you would see a good jump in hp just on stock cars with an upgraded manifold, not to mention a cooler running car.

Just for the record I do not have BNRs. I have M2 ball bearing turbos. And the reason I made poor RWHP was because I have low compression in my rear rotor and very low compression due to a bad apex seal in the front rotor. Although, I still get full boost by 2800 rpm and 286 RWHP to the wheels even with low compression.

Once Rob at Pineapple finishes my new street ported engine it should be interesting to see how the M2s do.

But then, I may never know how well the M2s work because if the broken apex seal has damaged the turbos I may just send in my old set of stockers to BNR and get some stage IIIs.

Hey..capt.bill1...what type of streetport did you get? And how will it affect driveability?

Oh man I hate to hear that!!! I sure hope it didnt ruin the turbos. I'd have to guess though that if some of the apex seal went thru the exhaust it prob chewed up the turbine wheels. I certainly hope not though. Thats what happened to me on my last rebuild...both stock twins gone!!! But born from that came these stage 3's, so it all worked out good in the end!!!!

I've got my fingers crossed for you!!!

Well, it sounds like it might just be up to Artguy now.

I do have a question though, I heard that M2 was going out of business. I know Kevin now has control of the IC kits again. Can anyone confirm???

ArchangelX, Rob recommended his basic street port. And with the fast spool up turbos it should not effect drivability at all.

STEPHEN, I have heard rumors about M2 but don't know any facts. I might be able to have the M2 turbos rebuilt here or send them back to Australia but that may cost to much to be worth the time and trouble.
