Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Good question.

No offense taken here guys he he. Sorry for the late response I'm stuck moving my shop and it is more than taking up all my time. Carl makes some good points about other turbos . They can do most of what you want. I like the 42R for a few reasons but it needs to be for the right kinda person. Magnus makes good stuff and does great things Carl, however, I'm more than sure of my experience with boosted rotaries over most people. I believe Ralph is near 530hp.

Thanks for the info Zero R. I am very interested in buying one of your 42R kits. I just need more info on it. If you guys are moving, will you have the same number? I can just call you and see what is up with the turbo kit.

Thanks.....it's already looking pretty sick. I moved the intercooler to a true front mount (right behing the bumper) which wasn't easy. I also positioned the new ARC radiator at an angle so i can get my 4.5" or 5" turbo inlet pipe in there.....depending on which one will fit. I'll take some new pics when the turbo is on and things look a little more finished.

 

why not just go w/ an air to water ic? u can't run in sport rwd anyway.

 

I am going to be installing my GT42 in a week or so. I am hoping for numbers like that. I will post pics when I get it installed.

 

Please do post some pics and maybe some vids when it is all done!!! That would be nice. Thanks for sharing.

I will also be installing my GT42R turbo kit in the next month. I will post DYNO #s when i get it tuned.

 

Who knows down the road....i've changed my setup so many times already. I want to see about running the Quick 16 class. I think i would pass there....i haven't really checked. I'm going for the fastest RX7 title excluding pure race cars.

I've already been looking into a few other areas as well to try and make my car legal for the "street class" or sport rwd.

If all that doesn't work then i'll go the 3 rotor route.

 

I'm ready to see all of you guys' GT42R setups. Please keep this thread posted on your progress. Thanks

Dee

 

Sean, I did not realize your experience with that turbo, or I would have mentioned your shop for sure, your work is first rate, regards, Carl

 

I'm selling my kit if you're interested.

I peripheral ported my rotor housings and the turbo and manifold won't fit, so I'm going to work with a naturally aspirated setup and nitrous.

It's a steal too at $3000 and with what I'm including in the package.

updates?

 

You say the gt35 is just not enough?.... hmm.. my car makes 450 and traction is already a problem for me on the street.

 

Exactly! Those who say it is not enough are jaded by being in more purpose built drag cars.

 

at what boost? any dynos? Sorry if I missed them elsewhere. Thanks, Carl

 

The GT35R is ENOUGH. I just want more.

any updates on this? i'm looking into a gt42r
