A TO4R turbo and T-66 is almost the same. Good for 600+ rwhp.

I take that back what I wrote. 600 rwhp w/NOS. Sorry.

On pump gas at 14 psi you can make 430 rwhp on the T-66. You can check out the specs on the TO4R here: http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=824 you can see the specs are similar to the T-66.

What's the 620 in your sig? Are you using nitrous for that number?

How's the boost response on that big boy? And what boost pressure did it reached when you pulled 620 rwhp?

T51 KAI? Thats it!? Why didn't you go with a big turbo?

Anyhow, thats awesome. I was thinking about running one of those on my 20B. Do you have a dyno sheet of your KAI turbo on the 13b?

bah why not go with triple to4e's on the 20B... should be good for say 1,000 hp if you can keep it together...

Thats the point, keeping it together. I'd like to do a twin 60-1 setup, but the manifold design and dowpipe are just something I don't want to deal with right now. Single turbo simplifies everything TREMENDOUSLY. The stock twins on my 20B are so small that you can even see them

soul assassin. i know what it was like when i first put in my T78 and hit it. once the boost comes on you just hang on and ride. i've gone very sedate trying to get everything smooth and reliable. the kai seems to be so damned big. i run my T78 at 17-18 (more like 18 now) and that's at the bottom of its efficiency range. but i want reliability and don't want to have to worry all the time about wheelspin in normal driving. i ran 25 psi for a couple of days once and couldn't stop the wheelspin. the first time i launched it with that much boost the front end lifted so much i thought i was in an old hemi pulling a wheelie.

is the kai controllable and reasonable in normal street driving or do you always have to work at keeping the the thing together? (looking at all your various pix you must own a tire store... i've got mine now where it really pulls smoothly all the way up to 8000 rpm. no break up, no stuttering, no stumbling, no soft spots. for someone who only wants a smooth 450-500 rwhp with a "refined" feel to it, what would a kai offer me? i have looked at the innovative turbo dual ball bearing stuff and think it might offer something in better spool up and a more refined feel with the same kind of power. how is the kai at -- not that i think you spend ANY tme doing this -- "part throttle" (that's right, part throttle. go ahead try it. its ok. hehehe)? and, what EMS do you use with it?

i noticed that steve o'brien went to the kai and a few other guys. i think its becoming THE big turbo and am really curious about what you think sets it apart. what its distinguishing characteristics are.

thanks, gordon
Gordon, the kai will not spool to your likings. Trust me. the 4 K Alf is claiming is on a fully bridge ported engine
