Best single turbo kit?

[interloper393]

Looking to go single, just wondering whats the best kit to buy and how much u payed for it

 :wave

[iaint]

More info would be good:

1) What power are you looking for and how much lag are you prepared to put up with.
2) Street, track or drag.
3) Is your engine ported (makes a difference on what\'s worth having).
4) budget!

Have you already got an uprated intercooler and fuelling?

[interloper393]

1) want as little lag as possible, aroung 400-600 BHP
2) mainly street but i fancy doing a few quarter miles.
3) not ported yet but its having a rebuilt at the mo and im thinking of a street port
4) will pay the money if its worth it lol

Iv got all hks uprated intercoolers, dont think the fuellings uprated tho...

that help?? hehe

So you want 600hp (mainly for the street) and no lag...hmmm

1) Drive FD\'s with various singles and see what floats your boat - theres no point any one telling u u want this or that turbo without trying it yourself - cause chances are your feelings on minimal lag for e.g. or not some one elses... Bare in mind a 600hp RX7 is unlikely to be \'very pleasant\' on the road - 400hp is much more friendly and useable and proably a lot quicker than you probably think it will be.

2) budget properly for it and every thing u will need in addition to the turbo kit if u dont have it already in place; fuel pump and injectors, engine management, uprated oil and water cooling? uprated clutch, drive train bracing, boost controller, decent exhaust and inlet, ignition mods, uprated diff, uprated brakes all the less obvious stuff u wont think of. Lots of labour and some tuning on top too. You are looking at a good few grand obviously altho u can of course do the main stuff first and build on it - but it will probably end up more expensive in the end.

3) if you are keen seriously consider having it done at the same time as engine is put back in after the rebuild as you will save a chunk of labour

4) get your motor ported - a stock motor will limit ultimate power output majorly. Also, a big turbo really wants big boost - so get the motor pinned and so on (all the high power mods) if you are going big turbo and HP :god

5) time for my tea

HTH,
Rich

EDIT: just to re-iterate point 1; drive other singles so you know what suits you before buying any thing from any one

So can everyone bring there rx7`s to knockhill next weekend and ill hire the track for tha day n test them all muhahahaha!!!

Cheers for the info, think 600bhp is way to much for the road just interested in a few idears

I know a guy in japan that can get me all the tuning parts i need at trade prices because i buy cars from him hopefully save a few pennys there and add a few more toys.

Ordered my Garrett T04Z kit from OZ a week ago, going to cost me approx £2.5K when its landed, and depending on what boost I run, it should see anything from 400rwhp to 550rwhp

[20B_boy]

You getting the kit from HPIAB Blitz?

[BlitzBoy]

Yes I am Rich, spoke to Geoff last week when my turbo pack expired, he told me just to make sure it has v-band setup, so I checked with Morrie who confirmed it does. I think I will be first in the UK to get T04Z HPIAB kit. Will take pics of the kit when it arrives and post it on this thread should arrive end of next week.

And please do number 2 BEFORE you bolt the turbo on, otherwise you\'ll be on here asking about how to fix a melted this that and the other!

Cheaper and less laggy to get to 400bhp and throw your back seats away than it is to get to 600bhp that you\'ll never use...

[interloper393]

So going buy what iv posted above, what singles better for me? say for 400 BHP, i dont have the access to try before i buy so i need your wisdom

thats a single turbo running over 500 bhp - could be a starting point for you

Not got the hang of these forum thingies have you Stu?

I\'d get as much of the auxillary stuff sorted before you even consider going for a single turbo. The twin turbo pack can give some good results with most of the mods that get you close to being able to go single without fear of melting something.
A stock twin turbo will do a 12.5 sec quarter with the right work done to it. Just look at sdminus and warthogs cars. If your able to do the work all at once then thats great, but most can\'t !

personally if your goal is for 400FWBHP, then go for the GT35/40 Kit , Shy Auto and Reworx do them, you will easy get that power with stock ports and 1 bar of boost. and give a very good Midrange punch.
yes 400FWBHP is possiable with stock twins but you will be pushing them at there limit so you will have reliabilty issues as it will be producing very hot compressed air at anything past 1 bar, so water injection is a must as well.

With the 35/40 Kits that turbo is hardly breakin a sweat to produce the same amount of power, plus you can get rid of the rats nest, less heat under the hood, and you will save some weight :evillaugh

Max is your man to talk about that turbo

[interloper393]

Sounds good to me Blitzboy

Going for a GT35R single turbo kit with a street port, uprated brakes, uprated radiator and iv already got the uprated intercoolers n ast tanks

just need a ecu box, cheap second hand one would be nice lol
