Sorry if this is a dead issue: but I'll ask anyway.



I've heard 459 hp at the wheels out of the BNR's with a street ported motor and all basic upgrades ( FMIC, ECU, DP/MP etc..). Is this true and has anyone heard of better numbers than that?



Thanks

The Stage 3's could run 20PSI safely I hear, and some people run 400 to the wheels on STOCK Twins, so with some good tuning and 20PSI a ported motor, I think you could get that kind of horsepower. Maybe not for long, but still. LOL

I think that if I'm going to run them at 20 psi, I'd get a turbo that's designed to take 20 psi all day every day...with less underhood temps, more reliability and more power...

never seen 400 rwhp on stock twins...seen 380 rwhp on a ported motor and stock twins...but how long will that last?



Point of the matter is that 400 rwhp on a t-04s with LESS BOOST and MORE RELIABILITY...**** lower octane gas for that matter...why do people even compare?

Who the hell is giving you those figures? The BNR 3s are phenomenal--quick spooling in parallel configuration, well over 400 to the ground on pump gas, and much more down low power than the twins. They're like night and day compared to my stockers, and I dynoed 368 with them. The peak horsepower # doesn't tell the whole story.



I saw Ihor lay down 470 on his GT35/40 at KDR, and I don't expect my BNRs to make anywhere near that. Go look at a 3540 compressor wheel and manifold, and then go look at the BNRs. I do, however, expect my BNRs to whoop *** on most anything on the road and provide outstanding performance at a very reasonable price

It seems to me that with the BNR stage 3s you could get a healthy 370+ Hp at like 16psi and be in a preaty reliable setup as long as you had all of the other mods to go with it. I dont know a whole lot about them, I havent done a endless amout of HW on them yet, but that seems doable.



My only question about them is this : Lets say I wanted to run them at like 10psi, how would then run? Like complete *** or would they just be really boggy? the reason I ask this is because I figure if I had them in my car, I dont think I would want to run 15+psi all day every day. Could I drop the psi down to 10 and still be happy when Im pokin around town?
