Go for the Knightsports RF420\'s if you can get them, the BNRs are naff.
We warranty our rebuilt engines for Detonation, track day\'s and RWYB and NOW for 30 months which is two and half years or 30,000 miles
We also build all types of race or road engines.
We build race and track cars too.

@Tiger18 a guy in Australia is selling a pair of BNR\'s, see fdrx7.com trade section for details.

hi tiger spam@fc has a set for sale on the parts for sale thread!

tiger18

Yes i seen them but dunno about his price,,, i could send my turbos to BNR have them converted sent back ,, taxes shipping ect and save 3/4 hundread quid,, so not sure where he getting that price.
They come up on the USA RX7 club every now and then for about $1000, would be nice to pick up a good 2nd hand set of BNR or knightsports.

Starting to thinking about going single plenty of people selling single turbo kits for half the price of BNR turbos.

Hi Tiger,

As mentioned in my for sale thread, you are more then welcome to negotiate the price with me via mail! -> patrick.reiter.fzt06[at]fh-joanneum.at

for the single vs. twin discussion: it really depends on what you build the car for.
There is not any single out there which can beat the response of a well done bnr stage3 setup in full sequential mode and 450rwhp ;)
I think this is the ultimate turbo for a street/autoX/autoslalom/HPDE car. You have all the "luxury" of a stock fd, but it has 450rwhp and will be emission legal!

I\'m only thinking about selling these because my car will never see the streets again ;)

as for the discussion between knightsports and bnr... the bnr\'s have the more modern turbine geometry, are rebuildable, well known and MUCH cheaper as a knightsports setup. It\'s a total nobrainer...

SpAm@FC

was to slow to edit my first post, so here as addon:

also, I want to chime in into the discussion of costs of a single turbo vs. upgraded twins.

A well done single turbo setup with a GOOD turbo (gtx3582r with T4 footprint and divided runners, A/R 1.06), GOOD heat management (fully ceramic coated or inconel heat shields), TRUE twin scroll manifold with 2 seperate wastegate runners, watercooled twin tial wastegates, cermic coating, 3.5inch downpipe, custom 3.5-4.0inch exhaust system, fittings, lines etc. will bump you EASILY up in the region of 4000gbp minimum.
Ask me how i know, that\'s the setup I consider if i can sell my bnr setup ;)
of course you can also go journal bearing td61 and get the same power, but without proper heat management, with :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty spooling and :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty powerband ;)

or a used HKS T04e setup. With :censored::censored::censored::censored:ty manifold, poor wastegate design, high exhaust backpressure in the manifold because of the exhaust A/R and trim...

all of these mentioned setups will bring the car from A to B, the question is what you really want. A half assed beater or a well engineered car?

just my 0.02€

sorry for the 3. post and spamming down this thread, but i have to comment this:

It looks like you\'ve never imported something from outside the EU.
Take the price of the item(s), add shipping costs to the UK, take this sum and multiply by 1.05 (5% import duty), take this sum and multiply by 1.20 (20% VAT) = the final price.

Lets do this for the BNR\'s

2100 for the modification, 400dollar for the good core, 200dollar to send this stuff to bryan, 200dollar to send this stuff to the europe = 2900 USD
Multiply by 1.05 = 3045 USD
Multiply by 1.20 = 3654 USD
3654 USD equals currently 2300GBP

I\'m down currently to 2100gbp for the bnr\'s.

So, how in the world you can save 3 to 400 GBP? ;) I\'m not sure where YOU getting your price :)
My calculations for shipping costs are also very low in my example, because I\'ve done several items at once to save individual shipping. You will not get them shipped over from the US for 200USD.

Here is further informationf or you how to calculate taxes on improted stuff:
