anyone ever heard of ray jay turbos? what are they, any good, not going to be used in a high horsepower deal, more of just a family cruiser with a little balls, i don't know squat about turbos, so any help would be great, they are freshly rebuilt with a receipt from local turbo shop.
Thanks in advance as always

Rayjay turbo's have been around the block a few times, used to ahave a VW bug with a 1600 in it and a Rayjay turbo, stupid fast... ;D
-
which rayjay turbos?
-
The one on my bug was on it when I got it, Rayjay turboes I think are like the Airesearch units from airplanes (like Cessna's and Beachcrafts), the one I had was really small but made like 10 PSI at wide open throttle, the wastegate would come in too hard and make a wicked whistle, pretty fun...

not sure which models, i will have to find that part out, he claims he was seeing 15 lbs of boost, and as gt said, looks like they are from aircraft, all i can find talks about them being in planes

I had two Rayjay hb196's, never thought they would work good in a low rpm boat, but like any company they make lots of different turbos

MY UNCLE HAD RAYJAYS ON HIS 24FT CAMPBELL V-DRIVE WITH A 460 AND A C-6.

what would be considered to much boost (approx) on a 460 bbf, 8ish to 1 comp, 2 rayjay turbos, guy said he was running 15lbs, i don't know anything about turbos or what they should be, that just seems like alot?
-
15lbs that just seems like alot?
That aint shit......I hit 30lbs in my truck! ;D
-
cool, thats what i wanted to know, like i said, i know jack and shit about turbos O0

Well an f-250 and these old Ray-jays are a little diffrent . From what I was told , Ray-Jays have been bought and sold and changed names about 5-6 times . Of all the names they have been , Ray-Jays seem to be the hardest to get parts for if at all . My set-up is good for about 8 lbs without wastgates either . BDS says O-ringing the heads isnt really needed till about then anyways . 8lbs doesnt seem like alot but N8's Eliminator with a 496 and my exact system made 720 hp and 8 hundred sumthin torque . Not too shabby I'd say , even through a single 830 carb and log manifolds ;D
