apexi on the left, r85 on the right:


prop comparison (apexi on the left, r85 on the right):


exhaust housing comparison (apexi on the right, r85 on the left):


just another shot:

 

Damn, thats a jump in size!
What kind of spool up are you expecting with that??
Justus

 

Damn that exhaust housing is small on that r85

 

you mean on the apexi? re-read my picture headers.... i think you misread that one :-)

 

dunno, we will find out :-)

 

No wonder that little sucker spools so fast.

 

The hot side on the RX6 is really tiny, of course that helps with quick spool characteristics, but it looks like it would really choke the engine. Max is also making the same switch.

 

the rx6 looks right for the street, or moderate boost at the circuits. The R85 wil have very low backpressure at high power levels, for very high VE numbers. Great for track use.

 

Who makes that turbo? Also, what numbers are you expecting from the new turbo?

 

It's a TEC turbo made for Reactive Racing/KG-Parts.

 

and as its going on my dedicated track car, that is the reason i decided to try it out :-)

 

see glass_man's coments above on the turbo...


as for numbers, I will have steve kan tune it at 15 psi ....BUT....I probably will only run 12psi on the track.... my goal is around 400 rwhp at 12 psi on a conservative road racing tune. at 15 psi im guessing it will make 450+ rwhp on a safe tune.

 

My bad I was kinda drunk

 

Yeah cause you posted the names backwards...

 

Wow. Those hotsides are, um, a little different

I have driven a few rx-6 FDs and they felt flat at high rpms. I wasn't impressed, esp for the price of that kit. Looking forward to the r85 #s

 

Thanks!

X...

 

For...?

 

huh ?

 

What turbojeff is talking about is on the 3rd picture you labeled it "exhaust housing comparison (apexi on the right, r85 on the left):" which is backwards. lol

Damain, what kind of numbers are you putting down now?

 

damian what's the inducer diameter on the compressor wheel?

 

ahh, no , thay is why i was confused, the third picture down the apexi IS on the right, r85 IS on the left...just as i labled it? ...am i still confused or are you guys confused? heheheh

 

dunno, the r85 is not installed yet :-)

and tuning wont be done till early spring.... but you can be sure ill post when i get results :-)

 

whats an inducer...and on what turbo are you referring?

 

You want to sell that Apexi RX6?
