Anyone test fitted one yet ?
Nice touch adding the BNR logo - it does look remarkably like BHR though ....

It fits but but the actuator boost line rubs the frame so hat to turn the actuator 180 degree.

So I will just flip the actuator around and it will work . No big deal.

I have all my wastegate brackets with the out line of my logo on them. Had that logo for over 9 years now. I don't see an H in the middle though. It looks like an N to me .

BNR Supercars website, just Google the name (bit of drama for having the link in the thread, y'know).

Silly question: how much more is a full unit, no core? Looking at a Greddy piping kit that is missing the turbo itself.

Have several dyno pulls with the boost profile. It peaks a touch over 12 and then drops to 10 to redline.

So even after the holding boost issue has been rectified it is still just a mod for reliability?

Yes, though I know for a fact it will do over 300 at 9-11 PSI. The reason to get it is because it won't take a **** after only 8000 miles.

It would certainly seem that way from the results thus far . However , it is my firm belief that it just requires someone to come up with the right 'recipe' to make the thing perform the way it should.

A few subtle mods might be all that is required to do the trick.........


Questions:
How many of the BNR owners have rebuilt/modified the stock Greddy turbo inlet (51mm dia)to match the 60mm bored out casting ?
How many have tried modifying the turbo outlet to get rid of the brick wall that is the Greddy outlet ?
How many have fitted a larger intercooler ?
How many have increased the size of the 50mm pipe to the intercooler ?
How many have done the wastegate mod I have had such great success with for the last 2yrs ?
Does anyone know how much boost is at the turbo at the point that it stops making power ?

Until somebody starts trialing some of these things and measuring the results etc the BNR upgrade is never going to reach it's potential .

I wouldn't assume that there is nobody out there pushing it. I think it's just that they aren't posting on here.
The reason I'm asking about this upgrade is I have te greddy turbo kit sitting in my garage. Not installing it until I get a rebuild.
Just wanting to see how much power I can get out of this upgrade.
Or thinking on going with a 3071r. Just unsure on where to source one.

Maybe there is someone out there that has done wonders with it - if they have it has not been reported on here . There are plenty on here that have had it though .
