I haven't posted about mine since I have no actual numbers/times to post, just seat of the pants. The car is definately faster than before. It may be due to the HP actuator, but the car spools faster than my 9.8 turbo did, full boost in 5th gear before 3000rpm, and I have not had any surge. Hoping to get to dragstrip soon to see what it will do.

 

All the WR owners I know are very happy and all gained peak whp and substantial whp up top. Randy is right about it being a matter of taste. Do you want stock spool-up and better power delivery to redline, the WR is for you. Can you live with 50-100 whp less down low and huge top end, then look at one of the GT kits. Different strocks for different folks.

 

So what whp gain are people seeing with a SAFC on the WR?

 

that sad thing is this is true

 

Bah, you personally have not proved anything, and since you are so enlightened in terms of the WR explain to me as why this turbo is not about the numbers? Have you ever drag raced your car? Good numbers? Or just simply a wanna be hater? Personally Im based in numbers why simple.

Drag racing needs in the power band area of 4.5k rpms til 7500 rpms if you have a stock turbo and obvoiusly know how to drive and maintain the powerband between shifts, sooo why do I need low end power at 3.5k rpms, I dont do auto cross. I ran 12.1 with my 264 cams and stock turbo, 114 mph 2 weeks ago 12.2 with a crappy 1.77 60's. Now changed to 272's and without tuning I made 331 whp & 320 tq. And so much people talking about how bad are the 272's for the stock turbo and I gained in the 3.5k rpms range 29 pounds of torque and 34 whp, my car is not different to any other evo with bolt ons and only @ 21 psi peak so the tapper was to 19 psi as normally it happens with a stock turbo. Lets see how much whp I put down once Im retuned with C16 and 26 psi peak.

This turbo is not about numbers, please I suggest you learn a bit more of how to race a car or what/where you need power when you are racing. Take the Buschur BR330 kit, and learn something by reading first. ...

 

i have been running mine for months now and am very happy with the w/r. I have posted dyno graphs of before and after straight 94 and meth for everyone too see. These were on a low reading Mustang dyno.....but still showed great gains everywhere!

 

what do i need to prove to you? if you don't like the numbers... don't buy it. cry me a river... i really don't care! just DON'T whine on ANY more threads about the wr cuz plenty of people have them with no surging issues and they don't give a **** about what you have to say, neither do i.

do i drag race... no. this turbo is also not about drag racing. you ever drive your car like you got a pair? that's what this turbo is about.

and funny you cite that drag racing needs a POWER BAND from 4.5-7.5k... hmm.... isn't that what hte wr gives you? everything the stocker does PLUS that 4.5-7.5 of no fall off... hmmmmmm....

why are you talking about cams... i've recommended nothing but straight 272s to every thread that i've seen regarding cams... and there's TONS of them... you can even look and see the asinine arguements i've gotten into over people that really just wanna argue that somehow staggered is "better" which is bs.

let's see the dynoqueen power you get at peak and let's see how much of that 26 psi you hold at redline... let's see eh?

so... who needs to learn how to read... and who needs to learn how to drive?

 

/\/\/\/\/\ like i said earlier trinydex. he doesnt have one, so he doesnt know....he is one of those people that just READ statistics and think things are better than they really are. like he says "Take the Buschur BR330 kit, and learn something by reading first. ..." welp sad to say, that he is the one that needs to be reading first.

this thread was not meant at all to be another debate topic, it was a chance to voice anyones experiences/installs with the WR and since he doesnt have one nor does he intend to purchase one-he should shut his pie hole.....

back on topic....

 

No I dont have one, but 2 friends have it, and they removed the darn turbo of their cars.

And the cams mention wasnt directed to you, learn to read geesh. I said everyone says 264's are the way to go on a stock turbo I say its not. I dont base my testings only on reading internet pages I do it testing things on my car of my friends cars, so whats the big deal? Oh and about the powerband I dont know about you with your stock turbo, but mine works like a charm holding 20 psi at redline when I spiked it to 26 psi in the past.

No point in talking about this anymore when instead of proper arguing over a turbo it turns out to be a personal pissing contest with someone who prefers to drive his car on the street, instead of taking it to the track where it counts.

Good luck with your turbo its the best out there

 

uhm... who said i prefer to drive on the street? when did i ever say i drive my car on the street? is this your phenomenal ability to read and extrapolate the wrong information again? for all you know i have a trailor queen autocross car. i just don't like driving in a straight line because there's a 20 year old car that has 3 times the displacement that runs sub 8 second quarters, in fact there's too many of those out there, if i wanted to be damn fast in a straight line i'd have gotten one of those and i wouldn't have to use the beautiful steering rack on the evo.

cams? why don't you learn to stay on topic instead of straying from one arguement that has nothing to do with another, and then have the futz to tell me about 264 cams when i already hate them.

so... you hold 20psi... after tapering from 26... spectacular... why don't you ask what the wr people running forge actuators what their psi differential is from boost peak to redline.

man you are such a presumtuous ew.

 

Hi guys,

I am considering fitting in the WR,and just wondering,whats the difference in fitting in the WR compared to a compressor upgrade say 18G on a stock turbo?

Your comments r much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Well, to answer the original poster, My WR is finally in and when its worked, I loved it. Earlier spool than stock, wider and taller powerband. Dont have dyno numbers etc yet. Dont really care about dyno numbers per se anyway.

After the initial install at Works, I developed a boost leak. Turns out that one of the intercooler hoses cracked. Replaced with Samco hoses.

Now, my stock bov doesn't seem to be up to the task of maintaining my boost. Boost holds unsteadily between 1.15 to 1.4 bar.

Gonna install a heavier duty bov today.

Real test will be a track day with the white rabbit tomorrow.

 

hey david youll love your WR on the track.when i went with you guys at gglc@thill i was enjoying mine even w/o downshifting at times

 

 

/\ good luck at the track!!
