I would check with Davinci Motorsports about that kit, youll save alot of money . Plus i just think that it is totally unethical that they charge so much money for what they say is a KKK turbo, when in actuality they use a Holeset turbo you could pickup for a few hundred bucks. No saying the Holeset is bad, as ErnieT has made great power with it and ran impressive times, but lying about what turbo comes with the kit, is flat out rediculous and bullshit business.

I have the Stage 1 for my FC. For a turbo its size (very big) is spools damm fast and makes a lot of power.

Anything past the Stage 2 isn't meant for the street. Not sure I would even put the Stage 2 into an FC...

Damm that is not bad. How much power did you manage to get out of it.

But since I track the car, I need quicker spool than that.

You got to remember that this was on a S4 motor and I wasn't able to do a "complete" dyno run, we stopped at 5500 rpm due to boost creep Anyways, what track will you be runnning on that would require you to need full boost below 4000 rpm?

I just figured the Stage I would spool quicker out of the corners since its slightly smaller and more responsive. I think its more of a preferance than a "need", I guess

The turbos is actually a diesel truck turbo used on the Cummines inline 6 or something like that, you can buy it for $400-$600, pickup a wastegate, have a manifold made (or just use an HKS manifold with spacer) and pick up the oil lines and everything you can make the whole kit for under $2,000 easily.

I would not say they are full of ****. ErnieT made great numbers with his Stage II FD, and the turbo spooled quick.

A bit overpriced for a Holset, for sure.

Not that there is a problem running big diesel turbos on RX-7's!!!

You NEED a boost controller.

As in say goodbye to your variable spring control!!!

Allrotor, I remember your turbo failed after a couple thousand miles if I'm not mistaken, am I thinking of a different stage 2 customer? Jim, did you abandon yours as well? What wastegate were you using Jim?
I've spoken with Ray several times, he was short with me, and was not interested in spending any time on the technical aspects of his kits, basicly, it was "do you want to buy one, or not" NOT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Carl

I keep hearing all these stories of people needing rebuilds after relatively few miles. I guess the turbo being oil-cooled-only is part of the problem.

But with the $$$ Ray charges for a rebuild, I'll probably just get a T62-1 or similar when mine goes

good choice. the turbo is bad *** but not when you have to rebuild it at a cost of a new t6x turbo.
