There are a couple people on the board that make 450whp (give or take) and daily drive their car. I'm new here so I'm not good with names..

And spool isn't a problem if you keep it in the revs!

That's what Boost controllers are for. you can switch between several different boost levels with the push of a button.

I have, basically, a T04R BB that I had made. I run my own custom manifold with dual W/G's, 720cc/1600cc injector setup, and all the other supporting fuel mods, haltech on a street ported, 3mm seal engine. I made 422 at 16psi and 467 @19psi on this setup. The 467 had some 101 mixed with the 91 but with further work I expect to break 500 to the wheels on 91... with my water injection setup running (it's installed just not turned on yet.

In a 4th gear pull from 1000 I see 15-16psi by 3500 and ~19psi by 3900RPM. I have full 1.2bar boost in 1st gear W/G's screaming.

Honestly, at the ~430 that I drive on teh street, it's a bit scary and intimidating and i"m still learning to drive the car.

Have any other questions?

-Chris

Man, chris. You just love that line, don't you?

In a 4th gear pull from 1000 I see 15-16psi by 3500 and ~19psi by 3900RPM. I have full 1.2bar boost in 1st gear W/G's screaming.
Of course...I would, too, if i could say it.

Carx7 - What compressor wheel, turbine wheel and a/r?
It's a 66.7mm (inducer) GT series compressor with a GTQ turbine wheel in a .84A/R divided turbine housing and a 4"DP. Since I get TONS of people questioning my 4"DP it's for reduced backpressure, not top end power that I chose 4".

car with som more tunnign do you think youl be able to run 450rwhp at 15psi on pump gass ? where did you get ur car tuned, wat boost controller are you using and why did u choose haltech over apexi or aem ? any specific reason

OK, this makes the 3rd time I've tried to reply... hopefully this goes through. I started above not realizing my wife was signed in

450 at 15psi will be hard pressed on a street port. I belive some have done it... with the right tunning, porting etc it can probably be done. I would think 450 At 17 is more achievable, but I won't know for sure until I try it.

Steve Kan tunned my car with a few other local Rx7 owners several months ago. If you get a group, he'll come to you.

I use the GReddy Profec B Spec II. I had the AVC-R but didnt' want/need the large size and million functions. The Spec II works great and is easily mounted.

As for the Haltech... I drive an FC so the Apexi and AEM aren't the plug n play as they would be with the FD. The Haltech was relatively cheap with good support within the community. The computer is only as good as the tunner IMO.

Man, chris. You just love that line, don't you?
I must say that I'm certain there are other people making more power, less boost, better spool etc, etc. But they don't talk as much, which is fine. I am pleased with this setup especially considering the it's the first turbo system I've ever designed/put together.

I'd drive mine anywhere, although it usually sit's in the garage with the weather lately. I usually take the AE on long trips around town to save gas and miles from my Avalanche. I imagine at my low boost setting of 11psi, it'd still run a low 12(maybe high 11), and be close to as reliable as a stock. I made 408rwhp with the dyno room at 104deg's at 14-15psi. Probably closer 425rwhp in more civil conditions.

theres more to a dd than just being able to handle it on the street... most stock rx-7s spend months in the garage fixing things, and with this massive amount of hp (well over 500hp), it'll be in there forever... people say get a dd not because you can't handle it, its because it's always in the shop

I think this is a function of how it's built. You can build a reliable high HP car... it just cost $$$'s and you have to do it all correctly teh first time, or yes, you will always be fixing little bugs.
