this guy is a serious joke...now he adds
1. Flowed equal cfm intake manifold system
2. Air / water intercooler
3. Custom water injection system
4. High output ignition system

alot different then he originally had....

that is a completely ported out manifold that has been on a flow bench to achieve his CFM goals..obviously to match his stage 5 race ported motor..
75mm intake piping too...far from originally posted

all this from a power fc...sure 544rwhp, no nos...is good enough to get you in the 9's/10's

Exactly !

Good to see we have "some" influence against people making exagerated claims, oh and his spelling is quite special indeed

YAY to the RX7 FORUM....bringing down the so called experts.:p

I've been following this post for a while. I was (against all logic ) hoping that the KKK single stage II would make that much power as per his claims. But I had doubts about that much freaking power at 19psi! And uh, nobody mentioned what else he listed in his little "update". His gas (assumed it was pump gas) is freaking C-16!!! Haha, you could get cancer just looking at that stuff too much! Check it out:
13B race ported fully built StageV Engine

All smog removed / filled & welded holes

KKK Single Stage II Turbo Kit

Flowed equal cfm intake manifold system

75mm intercooler mandrel tubing

Air / water intercooler

Custom water injection system

High output ignition system

C-16 gasoline

Tested at 19-19.6 psi at 60 degree ambient air temp

Dynojet test done in 4th gear ( 1 to 1 )

So he probably did make that much power, only with 116 octane fuel and water injection. Therefore, he could advance the timing and run his mixture a little leaner to get more power. Kinda changes things, don't it!? hahaha

I looked all over the site and cannot find anywhere what, exactly, a "Stage 5" means.

All this "Stage n" naming that everyone uses is total BS. It doesn't describe anything. How big? What kind of port timing?

- PJ (Stage 1 = cleanup/smoothing. Stage 2 = monster bridge. Stage 3 = peripheral. In my book. )

But again, look at his suspension setup... And I know I will never see that car on the street so I ain't scared..... but I would be a little scared of Ari's car... That one supposedly does see the street.

You guys must not have any fun in life ...

I read the SR website from the first post on this thread and it was obvious that SR was not using pump gas. Secondly, with the quoted horsepower it was also obvious that there were serious mods besides the big turbo.

Maybe SR was trying to illustrate the flow capability of the turbo? If SR was trying to pull a fast one, it only worked on the best minds of this forum. I'm sure SR is happy to get all the free PR along with the many hits on his website. You guys sure it wasn't SR that originally started this thread?

I do enjoy the technical posts from you tuners, they are appreciated so keep posting them (tuning, porting, timing, etc).

SR motorsports is a joke and uses deception to make a buck...no other tuner who visits here would ever put 544 rwhp on 19 psi.... He was called out and now he had to update his site by putting "+'s" there and then updating it again with "water injection" yada yada..If he thinks this is positive PR then he needs to go back to school

since this is your first post (and to this thread) please dont act like a troll..

yea, and his name has KKK.....as in Rays turbo I'm sure (at least I hope its not the other)

anyway if you look at the thread I posted on the 2nd page you will plainly see where Ray stated 544 horsepower at 19psi on gasoline.......when your selling kits to the public you need to call it what it is......race fuel, not gasoline. Its VERY gray area, and it was done that way on purpose.

There is no way someone could achieve those results on a normal street car like it first APPEARED

oh well, its no new thing with Ray, he basically used the same type marketing with the "tuned Power FC" for life time. Then when you get ready to send it back in to be tuned for your new mods most people found out he wouldnt do it because thier mods were not from him!!!!!! Well, he should have said that in the first place, not after he's already sold a $300 lifetime tuning package.

Later,
