I'd like to know as well

 

The turbo itself is not available. It would not be cost effective to sell as a turbo alone. I don't mean as far as making money either. I mean in order to make it where I could make money it wouldn't be worth it to most people. If I can get the newer versions nailed down and the price is worth it, then I may but so far it's not looking to promising.

 

ok so what is the price of the 500r kit? im looking at the website and you took down all your pricing from the last time i stopped by.

 

????? i too am wondering $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Kind of anecdotal, but at this year's DGRR I lined up with Garrett/G's 3rd Gen, who had 370ish rwhp at 16-17 psi (stock non-seq twins). I was running 13 psi, and we were pretty much dead even through numerous 2nd/3rd gear pulls. Not bad power for a turbo not even close to it's efficiency range

I'm thinking of getting a reman to port and clearance and install.....my current motor has a few miles on it, and compared to 4 years ago my porting/building skills have moved leaps and bounds forward

 

Kit prices are still the same at $3699 even with the newer turbo's.

 

Hey Sean, I know you are really busy, but when you get a chance I have a question for you about the newer version of your 500r. You mentioned a .84 on my build. Is their any truth to the issue I have heard about the pulses created by the rotary not liking the smaller sizes like .84 because of back pressure, compared to say a 1.00 or 1.06. I really prefer usable response and spool to top end as we have discussed, just looking to understand if my wanting more spool might have a dark side, and of course to learn for the great and powerful wizard of turbo (Kansas thing). If you would rather send me a Pm reply that's fine. Thanks RD

 

sean, i have also sent you a pm about my 500r rebuild.

 

Sorry Richard, yes very busy and I was out sick for three days so that is only making things worse. Rotaries in general like larger turbines not necessarily larger turbine housings, (there is a difference ) The turbo I have on order for you is setup just fine. BP wont be a issue really especially for what your after. Next turbo to come in from the machine shop I will try and email you a pic to show the differences so you will see the hows and the whys

 

any word on the new turbo?

 

Not sure what your looking for?

 

Sean,

Email sent wondering how my turbo rebuild is going.

Adam

 

Edit: Nevermind

 

wasn't there a new turbo you were working on 550r?? or what not? the upgrade to the 500r?

 

Yes those are out and I should have a few people posting up on them shortly if all goes well.

 

Any details on the 550R? Is it still in the prototype stage?

 

yes, please do tell, i'm looking for a new turbo
will you be selling just the turbo only?

 

Not sure on the turbo only thing yet, I still have the ongoing problem of not being able to keep up with kit orders. But the newer ones may give me some wiggle room.

 

What's the difference between the older ones and the newer ones?

 

Is the wait time still like 2 months when you order ,or is it sooner? thx Harold

 

Currently about 5-6 weeks out, some make it out sooner, some make it out longer. A lot depends on what is ordered and such. I got hit pretty bad at the beginning of this season with back orders on stainless and have been trying to play catch up ever since.

 

Sean, I PMed you about the turbo offer and never heard back......

I'm interested in buying the 500R kit but now I read you've been working on a new better version. I want to use the car for street and road racing. How are those coming along or are they ready?

Also, how would one order. Thanks.

Talked with A-Spec and ordered and paid for a deposit on the turbo ^_^. Do you guys have any base maps for the turbo? I'm mostly looking for timing. PFC would be the ECU.
