dave @ Armageddon told me they made 982 on an MD dyno @ 14psi with the base turbo's
while expensive as hell im sure that it is a pretty nice kit.
No doubt about that! It has top notch components. But who in the right mind is going to pay that price, especially since the turbos might need upgrading. Not to mention the extra money could go to MMR for one of their short block options...
I just don't see this kit selling at the current price.
Does Hellion use 304 Stainless? Their site only says "100% Stainless" which makes me think it's 409.
Hellion uses T439 Stainless Steel made by Bassani
On a side note, this is a nice kit! Kooks approached us a long time ago about it.
I thought Stainless Works makes their headers?
Why the hell is the system so damn expensive, i mean aside from the Kooks name stamp?
10+K??
i come from the turbo 4 cylinder world and have personally ran and tuned a 3071 on my mazdaspeed3. keep in mind, a coyote is a 5L engine, each of these turbos is seeing 2.5L of displacement, and even on my 2.3 there was virtually no lag with a .72 AR. I have also tuned a good friend of mines 6262 and there was a TON of lag even with a smaller .63 AR, granted we had very little control over the cams compared to the Coyote, but a 30r is still a drastic increase in spool vs a 6262.
This is going to translate into an AWESOME power band and quick response the second you touch the throttle. That being said, the gt3071r is rated at like 48 lbs/min, and most people were seeing about 450 whp on our platform at 26-28 psi. Granted there are SEVERAL other variables, but lets just say roughly doubling that will give us the 900-1000 or so rwhp people are estimating. Now, the GTx3071 however flows like 56 or 57 lbs/min, and we have people making over 500 whp at 26-28 psi with those (again, 2.3L redlinging at 7k), so lets say roughly doubling that, 1000-1100 is not too unreasonable. Granted, the coyote heads flow significantly better than the Ms3, so i imagine that combined with the proper AR, most people wont need to go past mid teens to see great power.
the gtx3071 outflows the standard gt3076 by 1 lb/min, so its not worth the lag going with the standard 3076. The gtx3576 flows 64 lbs/min and spools the same as the gtx3076, so theres again no sense in wasting time with the 3076 model. I had a gtx3576 on my mazda after i sold my 3071, and i'll admit they make awesome power and spool pretty decent, but they're flirting with the line of what i would call a fun, responsive DD turbo... twin gtx3071's would be my bet with this kit.
... that being said, i have no intention of ever buying this kit, just trying to share some personal experience with these turbos.
Well yeah lol.
Thats how i look at them. Hellion was the first to the punch as far as i know, and all the kits place the turbo the same way in the engine bay it seems.
Granted im a noob when it comes to turbos
exotic/super cars are use to paying ridiculous price tags though
Nothing can touch the affordability of beefcake's paxton special it seems!
I highly doubt those GT30Rs are going to make 1200whp. Maybe to the crank.
Seems like quality parts... not sure i care for the wastegate and dump tube placement.
Also $10k price.... heck no.
I have a little garrett experience too and the only turbos I would accept in the line up are the 3582's to make the power levels they are claiming with out straining the snails. however many people talk on precision occasionally but i wonder why big companies like AMS and other big names in turbo run them primarily.
Nice kit but I would say kits are now coming out a bit late to the party as the the scene is still there but the masses are moving toward the new stang. I still feel the 11-14 is best overall for racers looking to mod.
