AR Design single Turbo kit -----status of it?

packinDSS · 10-05-2010, 08:49 PM

The video looked promising. Is it still in development? etc

335fourdoor · 10-06-2010, 02:01 AM

looks like its dead

Brey335i · 10-06-2010, 02:10 AM

It went where all single turbo kits go to die for the N54...

SfValley335i · 10-06-2010, 02:39 AM

If it were completed or ANYWHERE near completion it would've been all over this forum.

ETS Michael · 10-06-2010, 01:04 PM

Wonder what problem they are encountering with this setup.

packinDSS · 10-06-2010, 01:10 PM

definately there is interest

cn555ic · 10-06-2010, 01:19 PM

I don't see much of a market for this setup personally. The N55 is doing a single turbo. To retro a single turbo on the N54 makes no sense with other options, like rebuilt custom stock turbos and with tuning options in place already to support that. The proven market formula for twin turbo stock cars, like the 996/997, is to either rebuild/re-do the internals and tune for that, or put larger turbos that will fit the stock manifold for HP gains.

Developing a manifold, the right size turbo to reduce lag, the tuning etc...all seems like a lot of work and development to end up not getting anything in return due to the lack of interest to buy it.

From what I gather on the other sites, it's still very much alive.

check [Admin Notified] .com or n54tech

ar design · 10-06-2010, 01:35 PM

We are very much working on it, but I will say no more for the time being. No, we did not blow the motor, or anything else, as some very misinformed people keep posting, and yes it does run.

Stay tuned.

645Nm · 10-06-2010, 01:45 PM

Look forward to the final outcome. Keep us updated.

That means the shit won't be anywhere near most people's budgets. M3 time.

I vote for a tuning issue. Twin to single = problems.

It's something that can be worked out. Just needs some time. The MKIV Supra's seem to being doing good with the single snail transition.

techlogik · 10-06-2010, 06:21 PM

Then what are the target whp you are shooting for?

Assuming the kit will have an exhaust manifold, then post turbo setup to connect to the exhaust amongst tuning etc?

Just curious...

Good luck.
