OK! <= click

I had actually thought about the drive up for the Dyno Day, but it just wasn't practical at this time.

In regards to answering this question:

It has already been demonstrated that it is absolutely worthless as a comparison tool since no one seems to understand what they are looking at.

Great ! At least that gives the rest of us ("the unwashed masses") some small hope that one day,if we listen really hard at school, we might find some meaning to some squiggly lines on a chart .

Indeed.
At least, one day, statements like "I'd rather have the greater low-end torque of the GT3071r over the higher horsepower of the GTX3076r" might be a thing of the past.

Glad you brought that up . Because you seem to have misread what I said.
I was talking about the GTX3071r vs the GTX3076r . Surely you are not going to tell me that the x76 spools quicker than the x71 ?

DING!

There is a an increase of mass on the compressor side (both in air and metal), but the .86 AR turbine side hits its peak efficiency before the Renesis can breathe as much air as the compressor can provide.

Surely you are not going to say that you don't know how the turbine map works this late in the game?

MM GTX3076R with one of these! Could be the biggest turbo you would ever need on a street driven Rx-8.

Lol.

The inlet is too large. The intake diameter has to match the motor mount.

This thread is too funny!

Jeff, can you post a pic of your gtx30? I'm kind of skeptical.

We're shooting for Spring, but it depends on testing the manifold designs.
