The "unicorn" is getting it's turbo!!!!!

Armykizyguy92 · Sun Oct 12, 2014 5:17 pm

Ladies and gentleman. It is almost that time ! The order is being made this week !
The turbo is set to 10-12 psi and on that tune the to the wheel numbers should be around 275+
The bad side to it is it takes 6 weeks of agonizingly waiting to build, powder coat, tune the piggy back and ship.
The even worse part I'm still stuck in Afghanistan for another two weeks after the parts get there lol
This will be the post I use to show pics of build and keep u guys posted

You're a brave man running that sort of boost into a stock engine.

I'm also looking forward to the pics and hope it all goes well and works out as planned.

For reference, the turbo Kizashi concept has 240hp and 243 tq (crank) at 7 psi. I'm curious how 275+ whp will be attained

A money back guarantee on the minimum output (measured at an independent dyno) would probably be refused.

In that industry there are a lot inflated figures passed around. Possibly once verified on their own dyno - which hasn't got a current calibration sticker - or simply an educated guesstimate?

But it would be great to be proven wrong and a big thumbs up for going forward with it.

PS: Just take it easy or you will be breaking expensive engine/ drive train parts.

Well the tranny is not the problem. The biggest concern I have is internals but road race built thiers to 275 @8 psi and ran it for 2 plus yrs not a single issue. That was thier silver one. The red one was 290+ @ 10 psi I think rob said. Soo we will see if I can find anyone with a super flow dyno we will know for sure

Does RRM have any dyno graphs?

Didn't really ask but I know they have a chassis dyno. I can confirm that from the time I was debating on getting an evo x. But I decided the Kizzy is more enjoyable fun and unique. Plus it a more comfortable ride for the wife haha. They are sending me build pics tho
