I wouldn't rely too much on water injection. 20lbs on pump is possible but not recommended for most.

450whp on stock ports with pump gas will be a challange. I don't see you doing it without the water injection as it will require higher boost levels for sure. The only other way around that is a very efficient compressor. Meaning large sized (4202).

^ what is a large sized "4202" compressor? Is that an upgrade option like the 500R on the GT35R?

we at rotorsports recently recieved this kit and i have already started installation. i must say this is a very nice kit and well made. it's a little snug in the engine bay, but what single isnt?

the car this is going on is also recieving multiple other parts so it will be a couple weeks before dyno time, but i will post results and video when we do this.

good job a-spec! hurry up on the FC kit so i can put this on my personal TII

yea with the placement of this turbo it's a little bit of a tight fit if you are keeping a/c. custom intercooler piping could be of trouble for some but like i said, these are things that can be associated with any good single. i will post pics this weekend if i get a chance, i have this kit now completely setup minus a couple i/c pipes. it looks sooo bad *** in there!

Its been availble for quite some time... The guys at A-spec are busting their asses to get these out the door. Theres a LOOOONG waiting list for the kit. I've seen it! If you want one you should send a deposit to Sean and get in line.

Talking I Got Mine!!!!

I got mine just the other day... overall good fab work...we'll have the new engine and turbo on the car... tune it...and see what it can do at 25,30,35 and maybe 40 around end of october when steve khan(sp) comes down...

I'm happy with the kit and the fab work a-spec has done on it...happy with their customer service...good communication...

one constructive feedback I would give regarding the long runner or even any other manifolds you design... after showing this product to few ppl including a well known all out rotary race shop... basically its their feedback... face your wg pipe to face the boost more... curve it into where the boost is comming from rather then having it there 90 degrees to the pipe... that was it... everything else... coatin'... anti surge, dp, turbo itself...just nice piece all together...

good doin' business...will do again...

Adam...

I received mine about 2 months after ordering. Very happy with the kit itself. I'm in the process of the install.
