what psi is it running at

How much is this expected to go for and with what power gains? Looks great.

id be willing to bet it will be at least 4..but probably more like 5 or 6k. if it was 3500-4000 i would start saving for one...but i may hold off to see if someone does a roots style blower. (btw yes i know you have to pay to play)

I have a feeling we will be seeing about a 40% increase in HP. Only time will tell. Keep us updated!

Currently 5 lbs, but it will be more as the tuning develops.

I would just like to thank Lingenfelter for making my life. Thankyou for taking the challenge on and I will definetly be purchasing one.

Question: Do you think it will be able to take a stock SS?

[mike25]

graham, im not sure if you can elaborate...but does lingenfelter plan to do any other form of forced induction for the v6 besides this? ( im very thankful you guys are doing anything with it...hopefully it will create a market..just curious if thats all thats on the drawing board right now)

i remember a couple of months ago one of the members of lingenfelter was asking if they built a single turbo system would anyone be interested.

Not at 5 pounds... will be interesting to see where they end up as far as boost / HP / TQ...

agreed. im feeling about 11-12lbs as the magic number.

We were looking for a relatively low cost option for a kit that can be readily installed by either a small shop or the end user. We realize that this will be a cost sensitive marketplace and moved towards, what we consider to be an elegant solution that meets the criteria for this market.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread earlier testing has shown the injectors to be capable of around 440 hp. We will continue testing and evaluating the prototype shown in the video to explore the limits of the system components.

The Rotex unit itself can provide around 500 hp, but this is probably not a number that can be achieved without other modifications to the fuel and other systems which would mean significant cost increases.

I am not ruling out anything, but we are currently working towards a production ready version of our prototype in it's current configuration.

But we do have more than one V6 vehicle!

Best Regards

would agree..... just not sure how DI and the 11.3:1 come into play...

im not sure how good sinter forged rods are as im not familiar with those processes...but i seem to recall on my motor i think at high comp ratio's detonation became an issue...not sure though...anyways i think perhaps the weakest link will be the pistons..but ive seen aluminum pistons take a hell of a beating before they go.
