Raptor and Henderson Performance
All,
FYI - Corey Henderson and I are working on a joint Turbo Project. Owner: Ron Bidwell Car: 1990 ZR-1 with 368 CI and Phase 1 CAM's Turbo System: Raptor Remote Mount ECM: Raptor Car has been delivered to Henderson Performance and work will begin by the end of the month. Engine compression is to be lowered and stock CAM's installed. Jerry's Gaskets will be utilized. Turbo system will be provided by Raptor and modified by Henderson Performance to include a custom Inter-Cooler. A new Raptor ECM will be installed as well. I will keep you posted with updates as we progress... Cheers, Ron Hanselman |
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
I'll be watching with interest ... Now you need a volunteer with a stock car to outfit.

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Good luck with the project!
Can't wait to see/hear. |
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
On the edge of my seat! I may be moving back to Colorado some day, and @ 8550 AMSL, NA really pays a price!
Good luck! P. |

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
I totally want to do it...save me one...how much power do you expect it to make on a stock LT5. It has to be the most cost efficient way to get big power from an LT5.

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Single or twin turbo project Ron? Whats the price point ?
|
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance

$10k for the base system. I also have 18 LT1 Single Turbo systems. I'm going to mod one and then test it on both of my Ruby's. It may be perfect for a stock Z... Cheers, RH |

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
I would be that to be a low boost $$$$. You will need to redo your bottom end and lower the compression and while your in there...etc, etc. etc...
Not sure if the $10k includes labor of any kind... |

The base system contains: Stainless Steal Hot and cold pipes (CATs if needed) Turbo's Turbo Oiling system Waste Gate Blow-Off valve Electric Harness Hardware for the above Options: Intercooler Exhaust Tips Gages Fuel Pump Injectors Raptor ECM Headers Right now, only option is to have Corey Henderson install the system. I think Ron said Corey is charging $1700 for the install but I could be a little off... I'll check again The Single Turbo on a stock car should be around the same HP/TQ numbers as the stock dyno sheet above. Those numbers are from my stock 91 with twins pushing around 4 psi. All for around $5500... |

$10k does not include labor. FYI - I'm using the stock crank and rods on my 374. The engine builder said the stock internals would good to 1000 HP. He did however perform some lightening and stress relieving on the rods. I believe all the engine work and parts for my 374 cost around $9500 even with Ron Woods Head Studs. The goal is to eventually up it to 15 psi... |
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Arrrgggg! Really wish I had the money to do this, working and going to school part time isn't leaving me any extra cash to play with. I just love the sound of whooshing turbos!

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Very happy to see that you hooked up with Corey !

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
I'll be at Corey's getting a dyno tune next Wednesday. Is your car already there? Has he started the work yet?
You know, once you're complete with the 15 lbs of boost we have this little competition here in Texas called the Texas Mile... |

I'll be sure and check it out. |
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
so how is that car progressing? If I ever wanted actually do this...would I have to scrap all of my current exhaust system? Its a B&B catback, and SW Long tube headers. Id like to see some pictures of what Corey is doing with that car.

Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Quote:
You would not scrap anything. You would sell your B&B and then use your headers and CAT's. Your headers may need a little modification but it shouldn't be much. We used the Jeal Headers during design. I'll ask Corey for Pic's once he starts on the Turbo System. Cheers, |
Re: Raptor and Henderson Performance
Hey Rat...I just happened on this thread and was reading....can you share a little about what the "Raptor ECM".
