No, it's just a little Greddy SMIC. We were seeing the same pressure drop across a stock intercooler at this boost. Giving serious consideration to going for the same intercooler as Rich - the car's the same color, turbos are the same, so may as well continue making it a clone

 

850s and 1300s.

 

Good to hear from you . I can't believe you are still on that same motor! how is joe's bastardization project coming along ? lol.....

 

Excellent thread Rich

 

Rich, I wonder how much heavier the stock twins, or BNRs are compared to an average single turbo kit.... Lets say a T66 turbo with a stainless manifold and Tial wastegate (44mm). Anyone have any numbers on anything like this?

-Dan

 

Good question, danno. I'd be willing to bet that there is a 40-50 pound weight savings.

 

Rich, do you get any boost creep?

We have pretty much identical settings (I purchased AgentSpeed's FD) and it currently has a high-flow metallic cat installed. I want to switch to a resonated midpipe - am I going to experience any boost creep with the non-seq stage 3s and huge streetport?

 

I have my wastegate ported, which cuts down on a lot of it. It seems like in warmer weather I creep to 14 psi and in colder weather to 15-16 psi, but I never really want to run less than that so I don't consider it creep . Plus, I'm not too worried about it b/c my aquamist water injection comes on at 9 psi.

 

Of course you have your wastegates ported - I thought Bryan did that as part of the Stage 3 package?

 

Yup. So you can expect boost levels similar to what I detailed above

 

wonderin if this is sarcasm rich as these numbers are on the high side...
doubt the difference is this much...

 

You're right Jio.....after I posted I thought about it and realized I probably doubled the number. 20-25 pounds i prolly more accurate. I am sure someone can weigh both setups for us (hint hint)

 

just weighed the twins.. actuators, lines, etc..
with the exhaust mani.. bathroom scale shows 42-43lbs..
now someone go weigh a single setup..

 

Hey Rich,
What boost controller are you using and how do you like it?

Dave

 

An old school Greddy Profec B. I love it, it has *never* let me down in over 5 years of use.

 

Once I get my old turbo back I can weigh it....but thats with a cast manifold. I'll see if I can get good ol master Kan on the phone and see how much one of his kits weighs.

 

So dannyo, what is the verdict ?

 

yet another reason to go single, ha

I'm stuck with BNR Stage IIs for now

 

Eh, it's prolly like a 20 pound weight difference. Cut down on your krispy kreme intake and you'll see the same result

 

I think the single kit by itself would weigh just as much or more then stock twins depending on your setup. But all the stuff you rip out when going single would make the biggest difference, if you consider it that much of a difference.

 

I'll see if I can find the shipping weight of a Turbonetics T-66 kit that I sold recently, should be somewhere in my notes.....

 

weighed a 35r, with an A-Spec T3 manifold, wastegate and dumptube...aprox 38-40 lbs on bathroom scale

 

Interesting. So really no weight reduction at all.

 

BNRs rule!!

 

just got me a set! Will retune soon.. Rich standbye for a pm of questions!
