72mm

 

After seeing they work with Maclaren, I bought their latest F1 derived product!!

 

Check out the front geometry.
Pure sex.

 

is this the new billet inconel berilium cnc NASA F1 designed stroller? I heard that there is quite expensive since US stop space flights and they cannot bring material back for the castings!

Aside the joke, the turbo looks beautiful. Did Tony compare it to another 72mm turbo like a Garrett or a Precision or BW to see gains and differences? that's the bottom line i guess... What class is he running again?

 

If Tony of T1 is utilizing their turbos that does speak to their credit. Popped up on my fb from his post yesterday and made me smile

 

Of course, T1 is not a fly by night company, actually very well known. Proven cars, proven shop.. us Americans are just quick to jump on band wagons either way and its sad what this whole ET thing has come to on this forum, I hope everything gets sorted for better or worst, evom soap opera for sure!

 

Yes, I've been following him for a while now waiting for that to pop up. He's had it for over a month now I believe . Soon ET will get all it's credit once I receive my parts

 

The real test is whether or not Tony keeps the turbo. He won't run **** that doesn't work.

 

true that, since you were pretty familiar in the Honda world, do you know what kind of setup he is running (motor wise)? I saw some whp numbers, and a possible turbo size, but does that correlate to anything special #'s wise in that size turbo and motor combo?

 

I saw a video show up of the T1 car on the dyno on youtube in the last couple of days, didn't look like the turbo in the pic here....

 

I saw this video 4 days ago because I was reading on the Gardella v.s. Bbergenholtz v.s. Rado thread and lurking around ht, Pretty cool video

T1 Quest for 7's

 

Im not sure what engine setup he's running but i can tell you his power level so far isn't any better than i've seen the billet 7285 pte stuff make on b series outlaw setups...

 

For 2012, the notorious 8-second T1 Drag Integra has undergone a thorough re-engineering of the entire turbo system, suspension, and chassis in an effort to make history and break the 7-second barrier in the quarter-mile. The design, fabrication, and tuning was done at T1 Race Development in Rowlett, Texas by Tony Palo, crew chief Michael Morris, Matt Owen, and Aaron Nelson. The full uni-body Acura Integra is powered by a heavily boosted and strengthened B18C1 built by Watt's Shop, and is fed by Injector Dynamics ID2000 fuel injectors with E98 racing fuel. The engine utilizes T1-spec Web Camshafts in an RLZ Cylinder Head. The turbo is mounted to a Full-Race 'Outlaw' manifold. Engine management is handled by Motec M800, with a T1 Spec Race harness. It retains the standard H-pattern transmission, full-glass, dash, steel doors, and cromoly cage. Weight savings has been enhanced with lightweight Kevlar front fenders & front bumper, Seibon carbon fiber hood & rear hatch. A set of Drive Shaft Shop axles get the power to the ground. Piloted by Tony Palo, the T1 Integra has run a best e.t. of 8.38, and a best mph of 186 in the quarter mile. It was the first FWD Street Car to run 8's...and the quest to be the first in the 7's has begun. Stay tuned for results and visit T1racedevelopment.com on the web and on Facebook for updates.

From the youtube video, but idk if the specifics on the ltrs, c/r etc are out on the web.

 

that's what i said too before...

We should see some type of comparison on similar size turbos on the same motor setup in order to compare. More power, better spool up, better under the curve power should come with a ~50-100% price premium for these turbos compared to other companies...

 

From my discussions with Tony he can't load the car (achieve max boost) on the dyno. I forgot how much more boost he said he ran at the strip. Furthermore traction is an issue on the dyno and won't support much more power than what that chart is showing. I would expect much higher hp from Tony's engine than 1138 based on those facts. He's a very talented and smart person. I suspect Tony is also keeping his cards close to his chest.
