Haltec e6k, basic street port, Jaytec manifold, 80mm acufab TB. We have
several dynos with stock manifold also. Our highest at 23psi on stock
manifold was 592. We have decided that no dyno sheets will ever be provided
for anything we do. All they have done is caused problems with people
calling BS. I guess this is the exact reason you never see any other
manufacture post sheets of what the turbos they are selling make. After
getting rid of the haltech in favor of a Tec3, high boost pulls on this
turbo we were able to extract another 80 hp.
1.15
It does fine with what we have tested. One local guy running this everyday
in his daily driver runs on pump gas and has been fine. He would be the guy
to break something... I can even remember how many motors he went through
before he let Dee tune the car. Since then (early summer) he has been 100%
happy and still drives like a mad man on pump.
Thanks,
Keith

Thanks it just came two days ago. (the e-mail)
Who was doing the tuning when you were popping motors?

fdracer I believe his statement was it was not a holset. And specifically not the holset that ernie had to rebuild multiple time wich it is not as I am very familiar with ernies setup. It is a Borq Warner Air Werks turbo I have been using these turbos for quite some time on both my race car and daily drivers and they have been very reliable. The low mean time between failures on the BW/Airwerks turbos is why many racers like vinny ten, brent rau and myself favor them. Parts are readily available and if you do throw a apex seal through one it 
(hopefully not) the cost of ownership is low.

his post says nothing about a holset. regardless i know it's a great turbo i use 'em too. what makes these deisel turbos great for drag is the huge housings and turbine wheel.

Realatively.... it has a smaller comp wheel, but it uses a bigger turbine wheel. It has the 1.15 AR while the GT40R comes with a .81, .95, 1.06 you chose.
So yes it has a smaller compressor wheel, but it may have a little bigger exhaust wheel, even though they both have a 3inch V-Band output.

when i said kkk i meant the kkk/holset/stage 2 turbo that sr sells. i do know what turbo it is and have known all along. it isnt my business to disclose anything.

disclose what? this is the most widely used turbo in the world. i've pointed out what it is before and idiots like you and erniet jump down my throat like it's an insult that the turbo is a bw.

I see a lot of fluff and no substance, no dynos, no timeslips, no lap times, no autocross times, no video, nothing...just a bunch of people talking like they are cartoon characters in another FF movie.
The "butt dyno" isn't going to feel lag on a turbo that size because when it does kick in it will pull very hard and you won't notice the slow start anymore (the start really isn't that long) and truthfully except for stuff like autocross or just punching it on the freeway lag shouldn't really matter much.
Grow up guys, while there certainly is a "black art" to tuning rotary engines share what you're doing, this isn't F1 and you didn't just discover the magic bullet to turn Minardi into Ferrari. Through discussion you certainly can only learn more.

who jumped down your ******* throat? i have never said that the turbo isnt a bw. please explain why i am an idiot. when the turbo kit was being made i was told not to disclose anything about the size and specs on the turbo. you can go **** off.
