8 out of 10 for ON3 twins. Drivers side downpipe didn't fit on my kit, along with a already time consuming install. Once it's on, it flat out works. No issues in 2+ years. Make sure you use a lot of exhaust wrap and heat protection while installing since a lot of wires are crammed near the...
I dyno'd at 545rwhp at 7.5 psi. I now have it turned up to 10.5psi still on pump gas only. So my guess is somewhere in the low 600ish range for power. I'm very happy. Smooth, quick spooling, quiet, with no need to remove sway bars or hear the nasty sound of an open waste gate.
After the hellish install with poor fitment on the drivers side downpipe, my ON3 twins have been great. No issues at all for over 2 years. For a budget build, they're hard to beat.
/\The RXT actually makes for a good daily driver. Nice light pedal effort, and very smooth. Just grabs a little faster just like any other aftermarket clutch.
I bought the car with it already installed. It's the equivalent of the MMR-1200 with a 10.5/1 compression ratio. I've put about 14K miles on it, about 7K boosted around 625rwhp. Runs great.
I've heard some of the internet horror stories too, fortunately I got a good one.
The only thing I don't like about it is how so many hot parts are crammed next to wires on the passenger side, and how you need to relocate the fuse box and ecu. I had to heat wrap everything. But if I installed it again, I would route some of the wires near the ex manifold differently.

I've had my Coyote ON3 twin turbo kit for almost 2 years now. Had fitment issues with the drivers side downpipe, but other than that, dead reliable.
Turbo's have no shaft play, waste gates and BOV still work perfect.
The main reason I haven't turned it up is just fact that I'm at the octane limit of 93. We don't have much E85 around here, and I don't feel like putting in expensive race gas, or finding a tuner who is competent tuning for methanol injection.
It's still a lot of fun at 630ish whp as far as I'm...
I bought mine with a built motor and good clutch already installed. Saved me a lot of money and time doing it that way. Never really pushed hard though.
BTW, it's probably going up for sale in a month or so.
I was actually thinking about going with 3.08's with my car too (if I decide not to sell it). I currently run 3.55's and the gearing is way to short for my power.
If I remember correctly, 3.08's will put you at 133mph at 7000rpm in 4th gear with a 26inch tire(which is what I have).
/\Yeah, I've used some good EBC's and the boost response between them and a "ball and spring" MBC is barely noticeable. Unless you like to change boost settings frequently, the MBC works just fine.
Good info. This is why I always question these crazy gains from LT's that some people report.
How much did the boost drop? I wonder how much the gains would change if you swapped pulleys to get back to original boost?
If you're going through the trouble of swapping an engine, go with a real forged short block. The boss rods in the 15 block use the same material as the regular coyote rods, just a little thicker.
