    I'm dynoing my 87 Koenig (twin turbo) Testarossa tomorrow. Wish me luck.It spent the last year in the shop getting a cutom intake, new injectors, few rails, prog. ECU, etc. We basically threw out the whole fuel system and engine computer. I'll video the dyno session.

    P.S. Allan, Joe R is dynoing the car.

    Please post the graph, I want to see if they make a linear power band or are 'peaky.'

    No idea for these things but my buddy dynoed his VR Turbo recently on medium boost no IC and a stock exhaust with a T04E I believe... 290 WHP I think and 281 WTQ. So I would think that a 12 cyl. on stand alone with custom intake and fueling should do at least 600 seeing as the above is a 2.8l 12 6cyl. haha.

    Fan512BBi,
    They are beautiful! How much those car are sold in used market? Spider TR would be great cruiser, but since it is Koenig, it can be driven on track, too, right?

    Euro market has so many to offer. Once I saw on Dannig, a car w/ 512TR's fron w/ 512M tail in red/tan. I really liked that car, then I saw it was in Europe......

    Well, I'm pretty impressed. We dyno'd the car , and it was probably top five sounding engines I've ever heard, wow.
    The car made 571 to the rear at 10 to 11 pounds of boost with pump gas. You have to remember, I still have the 15 year old designed Rajay Koenig turbos. Plenty of room for improvement in the future.
    Car sounded like a mixture of an F1 car and a big V8, hard to describe. Mechanic will do a bit more dyno time tomorrow, but pretty much dialed in.
    Have plenty of video, not sure how to post. Also, have dyno graph, no scanner though, will try to take picture with digital camera later, hopefully it will come out.
    Will pick up car next week, will post lots of pictures then.

    Very nice. 571 at wheels is about (or about 660 crank) is a very fast car, no excuses required. 10-12 psi form a turbo is about all I would do on a street car...maybe 15 if my arm was twisted....as boost goes up you just get such a big step in the torque curve the car gets hard to drive in the mid range where most people drive on the street. It makes nice dyno numbers, but is not all hat fun to drive. It sounds like it's probably really nice just the way it is.

    Taso,
    black/tan combo looks good. I think Koenig package enhances wildness of TR!

    Looking forward to see your dyno results & more pics.

    Awesome car. I love your description of it. Pleasee post the results asap, as well as the details of your modifications, especially on the fuel management. Are you using Motec?
