Re: Hayabusa Turbo Kitcar
5kg in a turbo? how big was the thing?
or was that including part of the exhaust manifold too?

Re: Hayabusa Turbo Kitcar
The new turbo is a Efr off the indycar platform. It has a stainless turbine not a cast iron one and it also runs any alloy watercooled centre
Re: Hayabusa Turbo Kitcar
Sorting a few issues with the new indycar turbo setup. The old 38mm wastegate cant cope so was seeing boost creep. Pulled the pin at 6.8k rpm when we were seeing 12psi of boost. (meant to be 7).
Rev limit is 10.5k RPM so new setup looking promising once we on top of the boost issue

If it wants more boost...let it rip ! lol
Re: Hayabusa Turbo Kitcar
Thanks.... Not sure the driver would know what to do with the power. It was making 50% more torque when we pulled the pin.
