Raptor twin turbo initial final tuning #'s

[rbidwell]

Corey Henderson is in the final phase of tuning on my Raptor twin turbo system. First pulls were around 615 to 620 rwhp. Will post final numbers when available. Those folks going to the South Texas barbecue are welcome to check it out.

Those are some nice numbers! If you don"t mind me asking how much is just the turbo kit itself? I saw the regular lt1/4 kit was 5500-6500. Is it around the same price or is it more since we have a z? If you would rather keep to yourself I fully understand also. Looks like it sure will be a really fun car.

Since this is a prototype, I'm not sure what price will be from Raptor. I had my engine done and some other work that increased the cost. If I understand correctly, the system will be sold as a do it yourself kit.

Did Cory take over the Raptor project from Ron Hanselman? If I’m not mistaken Ron and Jerry (of Jerry’s Gaskets) started that company but then it disappeared. Just curious what if it’s the same thing.

It is still Jerry's Gaskets product. Ron Hanselman worked with project. Corey did alot of design work.

Cool, so will they be selling these? Is the website still good? The site shows last update 11/2017...

Throw some photos up if you can...Engine compartment especially....Sounds like a fun car to drive w 600 WHP....

If you do decide to sell im guessing $22,500 looks like a great deal...

I haven't seen the finished product yet. Not much to see in the engine compartment. The turbos are in the rear wheel wells, if I understand what Corey told me. Once I get the car in my possession I will post photos.

awesome. I'm interested in the mega squirt and turbo zr-1 projects as you all know. I'm wanting to do a different coil on plug implementation of the megasquirt 3 pro, and v band some stock manifolds to move turbos up front like LPE did, and design a new system.



Running e85 on the z and designing for it will open up some new opportunities and the megasquirt can do flex fuel


I also have a Haltech S2000 platinum that's a bit more sophisticated with 8 channel egt that could be used the same way. I believe in splicing into the wiring and turning off the stock engine management would retain the stock dash functions and hopefully be less onerous


with the price of the DIS module going crazy, I want to do this soon !!


a turbo z with a closed deck engine and mls hg would be a thing of joy


if your engine is at 9 to 1 compression, you have lots of room to boost it!!

Brett just sold one for 599. There are more of them available now than have been for several years, and at a lower price as well.
