Just thought i should let the AU V8 guys on this forum know that someone has recently fitted the raptor kit to there AU XR8 series 2, following mods that the guy already had were:
Series 2 AU XR8 (200kw) Full exhaust system Custom CAI (removed after installing the Raptor kit) Typhoon manifold I think its a manual Anyway, news is that it made 347rwhp off the generic tune from ChipTorque... Anyway else though about buying the kit? Im waiting to hear back from the guy who installed it, to see how it runs. |

347rwhp = 258rwkw for those that cant be bothered trying to convert it.
This output is quite substantial. Plus that output was done unintercooled. Imagine the potential with an intercooler!!!

Yeah it is a great result, i forgot to mention that it was made on 5.7psi at 4900rpm, and he stated that at redline it still makes 320rwhp....

A nice result. I had actually pondered ripping out my stroker bottom end and replacing it with a stock bottom end and bolting on a Raptor kit. Would've worked pretty nicely with my top end but decided against it..
Would love to see the power curve..

for those that have already done cam etc, I reckon the raptor will enhance those mods on top of what u already have. The exhaust system size and fuel pump is the main thing. The raptor kit takes care of everything else.

he ran 180ish rwkw before the blower, so it was a ~75rwkw gain.

How long ago was this thing done? I was speaking to Matt at Chiptorque this arvo and he wasn't sure what car I was on about? Or was it just a tuner bought from chiptorque with generic tune?

How would this go on a 220? Does compression need to be lowered? If i were to setup on mine, itll be low boost on stock heads and manifold. Is a camshaft change recommended at my level?

Hmm from that second pic the T/B looks like the factory one, could definitely use a bigger one to help it suck more air in. Might look like an alternative to putting on a PD blower onto the stroker, that way I can keep the Tickford inlet manifold

Thread Bump!!!
I was wondering if anyone else has had one of these kits installed since? What is the reliability like and what power/torque did you achieve? I am starting to look at this more seriously once I do my T5z conversion.

wouldnt mind seeing some accelleration clips, some 'at speed' and then flooring it clips, some idling clips and also some general street driving (normal driving - nothing illegal). |

I'd pondered one of these setups for my car, but they dont provide enough room for future upgrades (for me).
Going down a different route instead..
