The race Talons were super nice as was the Honda race truck. There was a good amount of Honda stuff sprinkled through out the show.
I called, and talked to someone (not the owner). He told me the owner was rarely there& was typically off racing somewhere; and told me they aren’t working on any turbo kits for the Talon. He told me that the owner has one off stuff on his 2 race cars, which were built by an outside company in conjunction with racing with Honda.. He couldn’t or wouldn’t tell me who with..
I called earlier this week and left a voicemail but no call back.
Kraftwerks was at the SSSS. I was told that their turbo kit is not covered under the warranty. I was also told that their turbo kit would be around $4,200 plus you need a tuner tool from Dynojet that is $400. The Jackson kit is $5800.
Pretty much have found that warranties aren't worth the paper they are printed on. as there is almost always a way for them to skate.. My rig is far from stock, which pretty much gives a lot of latitude to endaround anything.. KW uses the Dyna pv3, which has the ability to adjust almost anything in the power/drivetrain if IANM..And I already had it, so no need to buy it again... Plus the HP numbers and more importantly 0-60 times are on a whole different scale from JR.. May not be for everyone.. It's what I will be doing unless someone shows me something I have not seen yet.
Do yourself a favor and call Chad at the link I provided. I have the Jackson kit and not impressed with it. There are numerous companies that have been working on a kit and never come to market. Chad is very knowledgeable, has been racing his Talon and is the closest to putting out the best kit. He has been working with the guys from PPEI. They will have it soon and worth the wait IMO.
It appears that you missed the posts by Schmidty and I. We both called the link you posted and were told there’s no turbo kit being developed and I was told he uses the Jackson turbo.
Sorry I missed that. Went back and re-read it. If you join any Talon page on Facebook you can search for Chad and send him a message. I really encourage both of you to save your money and wait. I have already been down this road.
Can you share the details of the many piston failures? I and I'm sure many others would like to know what happened.
I did some searching and couldn’t find anything on piston failures, other than the one that I mentioned in the earlier post.
You make an interesting point.
Do all of the other SXS have forged pistons in their turbo motors that come stock from the manufacturer?
