What turbo(s) do you run on your rotary

As the name says, this is just to cure some curiousity thats has been hovering over me lately. What turbos do you all run & what numbers are you seeing? As far as strips & dynos are concerned? For the supercharged crowd, same question. Also, about what rpm does your turbos start to spool & at which rpm do they make their peak power?

You're probably best doing a *search* in the single turbo forum. You'll get better responses there. This sort of information is all over the place.

I run a 66.7mm GT compressor with a GTQ turbine wheel and a BB CHRA. Makes 15psi by 3500, 19psi by 4000 and previously dynoed 467RWHP at 19psi on a 101/91 mix of fuel.

rebuilt and upgraded stock mitsu ht-18. Upgraded compressor to 46 trim. Running around 10-11 a/f (pretty rich) and laid down 261.1 rwhp and 220.5 rwtq at an even 1 bar (13.5 psi). I'm very proud

Good one. Never heard that before.

So he's running only 10psi on a T-78, which is barely breaking a sweat on that turbo, but is revving to 14k rpm...

This does not appear to be a 2nd gen topic. Moved to General Rotary.

I can see where you are coming from, seeing is believing and i guess you would just have to see the dyno slips and just check the car out to believe it because i guess i didnt believe it either when i heard it until we took the car to the track and on to a dyno.

1 bar = 14.7psi.

I was specifically talking about second Gens when I was asking about this particular topic. I already know FD guys make some pretty amazing number, but I don't own an FD, I own a FC, Maybe I should've been a little more specific. But, nice setups to the people who posted anyway. Maybe one day i'll be posting some high whp numbers & some quick e.t. times. But, as I say all the time. Got to crawl before you can run the quarter mile. aka Turbo II swap first. Maybe have the motor streetported before it's put in. That would be GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!
