I know going single costs alot. How much roughly?



Also what are the parts and things one must aquire and do to go single?

a single turbo "kit" will range between $3-5k

fuel upgrades $500

ecu/electronic upgrades $1-2k

intercooler$500-1500



yeah, worth every penny though!

Well depending on your setup and what you like, going single will cost you like 8-10k, and thats with all new top of the line performance parts and turbo kit, etc.

i spent about 9grand doing all the work myself and with a few friends. that doesnt include the clutch .. just the engine stuff and computers

lol, no intercooler for me. Water Injection all the way. Produces MUCH better resolts, cuts down on turbo lag (since no intercooler = chorter pathfor air), if used 50/50 water/methanol alcohol it also cleans the engine from carbon deposits and I hear because alcohol burns slow it adds to torque. But yeah, more on this in the water injection thread.



yes it does seem to be worth every penny, now I just have to save up all my pennies https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

NO intercooler? Do you plan on driving the car much??

hmm....at first i thouhgt he meant no IC upgrade....but then it seems like NO IC



its gonna pop...low boost like 4-5 psi no IC is okay...but im sure if ur running a single ull want more than that.....and even with WI ull pop that engine so quickly...



its not the matter of shorter distance...its the matter of the temps and detonation.....which WI wont emulate and IC

do you guys read before you post. Re read my post. I said I will use WATER INJECTION instead of an intercooler. And yes it yealds MUCH MUCH MUCH better resolts and an intercooler. Check out the water injection thread for more info:

no idiot..get a car first and realize you are wrong....



using water injection INSTEAD of an intercooler is ******* retarded..



using water injection WITH an intercooler is good and very smart



so the question is....do you even knwo what you are talking about? not whether bobby or i read

We have talked about this on the other thread. Rotarys are more sensitive to heat and air intake temps then the piston engine. So when you read that piston guys are doing this...it will not work as well ont he rotary!

i think hes just copy and pasting info that he reads...because any company or any individual who writes something on the internet is correct...



with that said



i am dying of a rare disease and i need everyone in the np.com boards to donate me 200 dollars each...or ill die



see im not lying

turbocharged rotary - intercooler = boom

boom + water injection = negative boom



no matter how you put it boom is in the equation

i think intercooler is worth the lag...... dont be dumb, spend your money on a decent intercooler first..... thats if you even have an rotary car

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Cost me around 13k for parts and Labor. I bought the best of everything. You can do it for half that will lower end stuff.

I would agree guys. If he wants to run minus an intercooler then it's his engine he's risking. He might actually get it to work. I doubt that it will, but that's just my opinion. Stranger things have happened. Now then, back on topic. My price list for the single conversion is sitting just under $12K. But like others have stated, that's all top of the line equipment. I hope that this is helping you out some. Laterz.

If you want a cheap way of doing single turbo, you can put a TO4 comp wheel on a S5 turbo, which sits on the standard S5 exhaust manifold in the engine bay. A little stuffing around with a few pipes (no more than a couple of hundred bucks for a shop to do) and some exhaust work. I made up a custom huge 3 inch plus dump pipe off the back of my turbo.



You can get a Microtech plug in computer here in Oz which retains all the factory computer goodies but adds the tuneability you need, or go Apexi PowerFC. The fuel system can actually cope with a reasonable power hike- you can add a fuel pressure regulator as well.



On a budget, my single turbo is costing less than AUS$1500 plus about the same for the computer.



Just a cheap way to do it? This way, it still looks reasonably factory complete with airbox (which ain't that bad and gets cool air) and air pump. Reduces the risk of manic traffic cops pulling out their ticket books...

Play nice guys.

yeah i noticed i cant really afford to run greddy lol so what are some decent name brands but not garbage for an intercooler boost controller yada yada ect...

Re: -cost Of Going Single-
 

very nice, good play!

Re: -cost Of Going Single-
 

Well, it depends on your setup and what you like.

Re: -cost Of Going Single-
 

I'm surprised to see such high numbers... We sell brand new Garrett turbos for $1500ish (depending on turbo obviously), Full Race twin scroll T4 manifolds w/ dual 44mm TiAL EWG for around $2 - 2.5k or so and a Haltech for about $1500 (have to check that one again). That still leaves $2k for fuel and a tune based on the LOWEST price someone posted. Defined Autoworks has a full V-Mount set-up (Koyo Radiator + Intercooler) for $1,300 as well.

I'm hoping those $12k numbers are due to the age of the post.
