Did you guys see this video yet, good god, that turbo would take a cherry picker just to get installed.

I wonder if he even needs a wastegate to regulate the boost or if that damn thing doesn't make it to full boost.

What's the old joke? What's the difference between a 500HP and a 1500HP supra? They both run 10 second quarters but one does it with traction.

I would too if I had molten motor parts on my arm.

ive never understood why supra owners or any other, put those turbos on that don't spool untill 6k. i mean wow you have 1200hp, but is it even any faster then a 500hp supra that gets power at 3k?

boostinsteve 11-25-2006 10:10 PM

And once that power hits, it is all smoke from there, awesome for burnouts, useless for everything else.

kinda like a 200+rwhp greddy on stock rubber :gay:

boostinsteve 11-25-2006 10:40 PM

That should be interesting. I guess I will find out and start looking for the new rims that I want to get, and start thinking about pulling and rolling the fenders so that i can fit a little more meat on the rear.

magnamx-5 11-25-2006 10:58 PM

225's og easy in the back but hell 240's could be done provided you kept it in the 24 inch tall range, in the front the 225's i have rub on the airbag deal in the inner fender when i a loaded at speed or in sharp turns not bad though. 225's are pretty good and the enkei rpf1's from goodwin racing ar very nice and light. + they where in stock and 100 bucks less than edge had them for good luck. Rolled you could fit some 300's but by then i would be running cheater slicks. wouldnt you?

Fritch 11-25-2006 11:07 PM

you know why those supra guys go with such huge turbos?

because they are jealous of VTEC...

mmmmmmmmmmm(lag)MMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!

boostinsteve 11-25-2006 11:28 PM

Oh yeah, cheater slicks=broken rear and tranny. I guess I should just wait to do all that, because I know I wouldn't be able to resist lighting up the hides. Upgrade the drivetrain first. Traction good.

magnamx-5 11-26-2006 09:48 AM

i believe traction helps me on mine less potential for burnout=less heat and parts breakage, and more speed when laod is aplied cooling the dif :)

I have enough trouble not lighting up the rear without a turbo. even on 205 azenis. it "annoys" my gf.
