General Technical / Dragon performance pulley kit!!
March 12, 2012, 02:51:09 PM
Yeah I\'ve had a look at them idler pulleys from dm but there currently out of stock. My kit is just the rotor shaped alt pulley and water pump pulley which is a lot bigger than the stock one, which gives a lot more grip on the new belt.

I purchased the new dragon performance pulley kit of eBay. It looks great buti have been told the water pump pulley slips at higher revs. I have seen loads of single turbo rx\'s with the similar setup so I wouldn\'t of thought it could be that much of a problem. Can anyone advise me? Should I go back to standard pulleys?

Cheers

General Technical / Single turbo!!
February 28, 2012, 06:10:28 PM
I\'m still thinking weather to go single turbo on my fd rx. There\'s currently a turbonetics T62-1 on eBay.
Anybody fitted this set up on there rx and what does folk think to this turbo? Apparently there good for 600 horses with the right setup.

Cheers Aron

Although the guy I purchased it of didn\'t no much about the mechanical side of the car. He just got it looking mint with a spay job and kit. The guy that had it before him had all the engine work done.
Can you get 314bhp on a standard engine with a few mods? Standard ecu and standard turbos?

Yeah it\'s has hks exhaust system, greedy stlye front mount intercooler, twin induction kits, uprated rad, rebuilt engine 5000 miles ago. All the work was done by steve rivett rx specialist. About 160 miles away though. Oh and I\'ve just had a rebuilt turbo unit fitted that was rebuilt by jimmys.
Think I\'ll have wgt have a look at it then

Only on this forum. Why are there some dodgy people setting up these ecu\'s? Might give it a miss then. Said it would be £500 incl set up by a specialist he knows!

I know there really rare round this neck of the woods. It\'s stands out from the rest of the cars from around here that\'s what I love about it.
Cheers for the advise fella think I\'ll give them a ring and see what they say. Suppose to be buying a apexi fc ecu tomorrow and having it set up by a guy I\'ve been speaking to in Birmingham.
Cheers once again

Cool, thanks for that! I see your only up the road in swad do you know much about rx\'s? I just need someone to hear the sound of the engine when boosting.
There seems to be a lot of noise ie sucking from the inductions and whistling from the turbos but not a lot of action. Seems to boost alright! Are rx\'s this loud under the engine? Or have a got a big boost leak?
Don\'t know weather im just comparing to my 300zx TT I had before just doesn\'t feel anywhere near as quick.
I purchased my rx about 3 months ago and had a proven dyno of 314bhp but just doesn\'t feel anywhere as quick as my 300 zx TT which was about 380bhp.

Hi I\'m from ilkeston derby and was wondering if there are any specialists around my area.
Could do with someone having a look at how my car is running before I purchase a apexi fc ecu.
Any help would be great

Cheers
