Finally got the RX-3 tuned. This is a bone stock unported motor with a very conservative tune.

Good luck with it

 

Sounds great, what turbo are you running?

 

^I believe a GT42R

 

It is a Borg Warner S475.

All the motor has to do is stay togeather long enough to finish my new motor.

 

^my bad...

awesome #'s for a stock motor!

 

No problem dubulup, i actually did have a GT42 on it at one time .

 

do you have finished pictures of the manifold you were building? did you decide on one WG or two?

 

what size compressor wheel is that borg warner, not really familiar of the non-mitsu or non-garrett snails

and nice numbers

 

Thanks.

This should clear it up a bit. http://www.citydiesel.net/b2-s400-tu...ml?cPath=32_34

Look under the "technical info" tab.

 

I ended up going with two, i don't know if it helped or not but i am sure it didn't hurt.

 

Nice... What boost do you plan to run?

Also which exhaust wheel did you get and what a/r?

 

We decided to stop at 22psi. It is a 1.32 A/R and as far as i know they only offer one wheel.

I have already started building the next motor, that is when i will realize the full potential of this setup.

 

manifold looks mean, nice healthy pair of wastegates

 

Wow, that is a big compressor wheel, 75mm minor and 100mm major. What is response and spool like with the stock ports?

 

GOOD SHOW! very nice...I'm sure that is a blast to drive!!

 

It is hard to say, the only other time i drove the car was with a GT42 on it. I will say that the S475 seems to come online faster than the 42 with a 1.15 A/R. Like crispeed says it is all in how you drive it. I have another little vid that might give you an idea of how it spools. If you listen to what %90 of the people on this forum say that turbo would never spool but it does! I am waiting for a printout of the dyno sheet, it might give a little more incite than my butt dyno.

Decided to take the RX-3 for a quick ride down the street. Only running 12 PSI but still does pretty good .

Love It!!!! :d

 

beautiful numbers. Too bad I missed the tuning session.

 

that lil thing should be a beast after you get a nicer, ported motor in it. How much do they weigh?

 

Don't worry, i'll be back.


Don't really know. Just guessing, somewhere in the 2000-2200lb range.

 

that video makes me want to cry it sounds just like my turbp FB before I spun a bearing.

 

Great job, Allen!

Isn't it funny when you say, "If you listen to what %90 of the people on this forum say that turbo would never spool but it does!", how so many of those same people can be wrong? Everyone's an expert on the Internet. Funny, huh?
