looks good. any specs? The turbo is a custom roller bearing Garrett turbo they build to our specs. It is very close to a T51R. The porting is our turbo port, it is a very drivable, reliable port. I hope you liked the pictures we sent you. Cheers Alec Kiwi-RE" It'll be in-house dyno tuned for 600 RWHP on C12. |

"Hi Jared You could probably pull most of the original engine/accessory parts off. Its a good idea however to utilise original charging/starting wiring harness. Power Steering can bolt on. Just waiting on Shipping Price Think it should be around NZ$1500but I'll confirm it as soon as I find out Thanks Kiwi-RE" So I'm guessing it is possible, at the very least with the FD's PS unit. |
And yes, I love the "Kiwi-RE" emblazoned on the housings as well.
|
Thats looking awesome bro. I should pop down to Kiwi RE and ask if I can take a closer look.

Jared,
Let me know when you get this thing back in Bham.. I would love to check it out. |
Well Phil thats going to be 4 20b cars in Alabama. Nice pics man
|
Hey Jared. Anymore news? Been 2 months since these pics. Must be on it's way to you now, right?
|
Quick question since I missed this thread the first time around...
What is that part on the lower front cover? |
Isn't it part of the dry sump? We got news back from them on the dyno tune (they wouldn't start that part until all payments were made) that it made 600 hp at 7200 rpms at 12 psi.

I'm also guessing 600HP at the flywheel? Are you getting it tuned for higher boost? By looks of the turbo, I'm guessing you are. |

We'll keep it as-is for right now, get it started and let me practice with it a bit on the track. If I find that we need more power, we'll retune it for more. I know a guy who has ton of experience tuning rotaries. When you need tuning, I'll give you his info. He's out of the country but comes to US quite often. Also, is this going in your 8 or the 7? if it goes into the 7, I think you might need more hood clearance if you are using stock UIM. We could chat about this if you want. Drop me an email and I could help out. |
Definitely not into the 8. I'll be sure to let you know if we see any problems and appreciate the offer.
|
damn. thats a sexy ass motor. makes me wanna, ya know, summin fierce like.
|
hey guys only just got onto nopistons, i didnt think kiwi -re had a shop outside of nz, so i take it ya had it shipped over, still cant belive you guys would buy from lil old nz
|
Now that's presentation!
Most shops just don't understand i don't think! |
Did the guys at Kiwi ever rebuild that awesome R100 they used to have that caught fire at the track?
Thats an awesome looking 3-rotor motor. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/bowdown.gif |
