Default Billet Compressor wheels!

This GT 70 dual-BB setup from Innovative with Billet compressor wheel should help out our overweight Integra.

This wheel is cut on a 5 axis machine from a solid billet core. It was developed on diesel trucks in mexico city that run 45psi for 8 hours at a time climbing through the mountains at high elevation. The standard wheels were coming apart because of the heat and shaft speeds. This baby is good for 60psi sustained!

They are even using arp fasteners to hold on the compressor cover!

Honda Tuning came out with an article on the car in the April Issue of this year and it said we were aiming for the 10's and the number has thus far eluded me. I hope to remedy that!

I have been surprised at the car's performance on low boost vs. high boost. It feels completely different, but the numbers are still pretty close. This setup should be good for 700-800hp and 450ish tq.

Hope to see you guys in Fontana or any west coast Sport Fwd event/BOI event.

I took out a second mortgage on my house! Just kidding.

$2.3K a copy for that baby. The nut for the compressor wheel is custom made by arp as well.

I am not aware of any rule that says you can't run a billet compressor wheel in any class. It is still aluminum. Read the rulebook. I just saw no "exotic materials".

NHRA Rules state no exotic materials, many production turbo's are cut from billet. For example the Greddy T88H-38GK turbo is also cut from billet and anyone can order and buy that from a Greddy dealer.
