Big single turbo

[pcockley]

Well looks like shiv has won the war to get to market with a big single, so my question is..... Has rai put an order in?

[woosh]

Rey told me "I don't want to spend anymore money on mods this year" not too long ago... haha

[Gumball]

I want this so much.....

There are no single turbo conversions on the market just yet!

edit: Came across poorly, reworded.

even if I was interested I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig, especially having experience his level of support via email is not great! ( though Adrian's is great just a FYI )

Does look the goods though!

We have spent alot of time getting this working as well as it does (and the best is still to come!!), but don't rush to order one until we have checked it on a RHD car. I think it will need mods to fit RHD.

Looking forward to the records to start tumbling now!!

[adrian@vishnu]

You are correct about it no being on the market Kenny (more work to go to have a marketable kit)... but I can assure you the dynos and videos are for real. The car goes better than anything we have done yet with N54... hopefully it will make it to market with the same or better performance with some good reliability.

Thought this might be the case- hope you guys can figure it out!

Congrats to shiv and the rest of you guys for getting this to work - the vid with the ahah song is sick!

Adrian, I didn't mean to imply the videos weren't accurate; I'm sure they are. I'm also sure the kit will make it to market. I just know how long it takes to go from good prototype to market ready kit!

This is what i've been saying since day one in regards to RB turbo options. Wait until the single conversion hits the market. And we can see it's coming soon.

Very interested to see how this goes!

Will the step transmission be able to cope with this?

I think I saw a post from Shiv saying that you will most likely need upgraded gearbox.

Don't quote me though!

[micha3l]

Thought so, got the impression it can't really cope with too much over 500hp.

Good to see a project getting close!

It will be probably last longer then the upgraded twins though since Shiv limits the torque (low to mid) to make it easier on the transmission.

I am keen to see what other competition this bring! the more competition the better for us consumers

Seeing as this thread has some off topic nature, what do you guys think about this?

He says the only way i could be burning oil is for it to be coming from the turbos. he says my seals are done!! i asked how can that be with only having 10k miles on the car?? he said it was prob the methanol injection that crystallized the seals and caused them to leak.

Is anyone else running meth, and for how long with no problems?

I have only ran about 1 1/2 gallons through mine as well. I havent had it installed to that long.

Can someone please give me your input on this meth f'ing up my car situation?!

Should I be posting this in the Meth thread? I'll move it if you guys want to keep this thread on topic

[Bahraini135]

Sorry for my ignorance, but are they using stock engine with that 630whp setup?

Adrian, thanks for ur tip, it got me into the 11s

[pcockley]

isn't shiv installing in a couple of customers cars, therefore the big single is on the market and that he is wanting to sort out the 'kit' for shipment around the world?

If this is not the case adrian any idea how long the development phase might go on for from 'development installs to production installs'

What happened?

[RaihaX]

is that you pcock.

[adrian@vishnu]

Currently we have one prototype running with the intentions to get a few more running. Once we have them running (on a variety of setups of different n54 and transmission), we will be in a position to start selling kits. This will probably take at least another month, but probably more.

Our first prototype is running on an unopened stock early build n54 with close to 100,000 of the hardest n54 miles to have ever been logged. No strengthening has been done to the engine. Perhaps we will find the limits, but it is looking reliable at around 600hp and hopefully more.

As for the autos. We can tune the engine to limit torque if desired. This may be necessary on a stock auto. Of course we can make as much torque as any other setup if we run high boost at low rpm, but we will probably tread carefully to ensure the whole system is reliable. It should not effect the straight line potential too much as you will drive the big single at higher rpm, but it will protect the drivetrain.

Cheers,

Adrian

Just a quick question, is that 600hp stock with just the turbo kit/tune? Or with FBO and meth?
