Here's my torque to hp ratio on the rx6 turbo. I later upgraded to a much larger turbo but never dynoed it, but it made a whole lot more power than this setup. This dyno was with a street port.

hey man how did you like the rx6?? obviously you wanted more power but what did you think abou t it response wise and street wise????



also to the guy that left the link. that was cool and all but it only show hp and no nothing for tourqe, also it had a rx6 producing 450whp.

I liked the rx6, probably considered one of the best single turbo's for the street. Spools up quick due to its smaller size and ball bearings and provides a little more power over the stock twins.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I don't believe ball bearings have anything to do with it, its the size of the turbo that dictates the power. At some point the torque curve crosses the hp curve, typically around 5500 rpms on rotaries. At that point the hp rises as the torque decreases. One way to help keep the torque from dropping off dramatically is by increases the timing after peak torque.

hey 94touring, how tuned was your car when you ran that dyno and how much psi were you at?? iv actually come to a conclusion on what id want out of a fd, i would like a 380whp(450 or so crank hp) street car. can the rx6 produce 380whp at a reasonable psi or no??



also , anyone have anyexperience with a a-spec gt35r powered fd???

I was running around 15psi on that run. The apexi seems to be in the 385rwhp range for most people, some higher some lower.

how would you say the rx6's response stacked up compared to the stock twins? one guy said the rx6 doesnt make 7psi until 3500rpm and i know thats some bs.

I'd say its comparable to non-seq twins. 500rpms or so later then the regular seq setup. Its not something thats noticable. When I ran a 62-1 which was much bigger than the apexi, it made such good low end power the extra lag was no factor.
