The thread has heated up. Several people have posted on both sides. Thanks GMON for your support, btw.



That D-R guy also sent me another threatening PM trying to tell me (as if he's trying to convince me or otherwise jog my memory) that he gave me the information on this turbo with its trim sizes, etc. back then and that's what (allegedly) prompted us (Tony and I) to use it.



Thank you God for NoPistons.Com. Here in this place, I don't have to deal with this 'good ol boy' network that appears to be reigning as king on the evil forum.



Any other input on the turbo is welcome, both good and bad. I'd like to hear it all (except accusations that I already "knew" about it or something else otherwise that's ludicrous.)

It's really getting stupid over there, and i'm going to talk to Ron tomorrow about that Subforum of his. I don't know you BDC like i know Ron and i know he's a good guy. I honestly don't know what the turbo actually is or where he gets it, but i know Ron is getting me one.



I'm supposed to pick up the turbo next week and i'll install it before Steve Kahn comes to St. Louis (feb 3rd-4th) Then i'll have it tuned by steve himself and dynoed. No matter what the HP is, i'll post the dyno sheet. 200 or 400 the truth will be told.



It's just getting stupid from both sides of the party, and some of those guys sound like a ******* kids from Aol chat rooms.

P.S. 9base3 (justin) hasn't been in the shop for like a year now. He has way too much **** on his plate to even think about the shop. I know he sold his FD and probably that's why he hasn't been on the forum.

Hey Zero R, didn't they say in the RXTuner magazine that you tuned that AF61R car at your shop on your dyno???



B


We did tune one yes, but it was not putting up the numbers claimed in the article, Ryan knows this and apologized for it on the forum. I only wish I had kept the dyno sheet of it at the time. If anyone wants S300's or 400's for that matter. I can get them, they aren't bad turbo's. I just see no point in trying to sell them because people can't usually make the distinction between one setup and sized for your car and some random one for half the cost on ebay.

How much are you selling them for? What can you make with around 14-15psi with heavy street port?

I would have to go back and find my notes but if memeory serves I can get one sized with 64mm inducer Compressor and a 69mm exducer on the turbine for $850 T4 .94 I think. It should produce similar power to turbo's in its size range. I can also get real nice garrett unit for $850 also that I think will perform better. I would rather not try and turn this thread off topic

I had a talk with Ron and we wanted me to post this here. There is also a sticky in the D&R Section on the other forum.



We D&R Autosports want to apologize to Rx7 community for the recent thread bashing and posts that might have offended some of the fellow Rx7 owners. All we are trying to do is to offer a cheaper alternative from the “More Well Known Companies” for the Rx7 Community that wants to make a Single Turbo Conversion. I know most of you have doubts about it and think that the turbo is “off-the-shelf-$300” Turbo from Schwitzer, but it’s not. Please read the sticky about this turbo and compare it to any other turbo if you wish.



We will have the dyno numbers and also a video from a dyno-pull coming in February when Steve from Gothamracing.com comes to St. Louis. The car we will be using is a 94 Rx7 with AF61r turbo, Street Port, and most popular bolt-ons.



One last thing… The only person on this forum that is related to D&R Autosports, is me. I use this username and have no other usernames whatsoever. Anybody else that posts in our defense is just a happy customer (which there are many nation wide) and have no ties with our compnay. Some of our customers have said things that may have offended some people and it may have sounded as if they were employees from D&R. THEY are not under D&R payroll nor are they associated with our company.



We hope to do business with anybody that needs a good and reliable Single turbo and any other product that we may offer in the future. Please call us if you have any other questions about any service or products we offer.



Ron

I don't want to get into the whole argument about something i don't have yet. I'll have the dyno numbers in february running 13-14psi and we'll see.
