Weight Deduction On My 33..

[XxNinjaxX]

cause i have that much money to do a conversion >.>" lol

so for my tune 10psi yes? if it breaks on the dyno i can blame you's guys ok? good keeping in mind this 25 has 183xxxkm's on it? 10psi still recomended?

its just i can afford another 2nd hand motor but i just cant be farkked having to do a engine swap if it goes bang while being tuned -.-"

[bubba]

The motor won't snap at 10psi, the turbo probably won't even snap at 10psi, should be good for 12-14psi (may snap at 14psi) but there's another one for $200 in the FS area.

1st one... check (my car doesn't have ABS)

2nd one... will do in the future, my A/C never worked.

+1 for sticking in 12psi. Why bother with engine management if you arent going to stick in some proper boost and make the most of it.

here's where it got me. 277atw

He must be confusing it with the R32 hydraulic system.

If you want to strip out your car, then do as I'm doing

Rip out all the interior

and remove the glass from the windows

lol! nice mate, i bet that makes a noticable diffrence! some how i think cops would be questioning where my interior has gone... =P

"i spilt coffee on it officer so i pulled it out to be dry cleaned"

Yeah, the cops noticed it didn't have much interior, and a half cage, but didn't believe me about the coffee either

reo bar in the bumper is good for about 6kg, but it becomes illegal once you remove it as you have compromised the front end....6kg doesnt sound like heaps.....but its at the very very very front, makes a slight different, ac can go, so then can the condensor, boot trims, spare, jack etc. rear body trims, then it starts getting difficult...wat luxuries can you live without......how much time you going to spend driving....its all bout compromise at this point....lighter seats..removing non-essential bolts is good at removing a few kg, but then you drive down the road thinking....is my gearbox going to drop out coz i took out that many bolts....so i dont recommend it....lighter rims, lighter lug nuts (can be good for a kg in total), carbon fiber boot and bonnet,....thats about the MAX you'd go for a street car....

the entire ac system was good for 24kg in my 84 ma61 Supra (so compressor, brackets, condensor, drier, front end lines)

For sure ^ You don't need a floor either. Cut that bitch out and just hang onto the steering wheel.

Lol, reminds me of the first fast n furious when that super street spec chequer plate goes flying.

Danger to teh manifold.. lol

As for real weight saving the guys have allready said all the easy street spec stuff,

your next step would be replacing all glass with polly, replacing big metal fuel tank with a fuel cell. Ultra light battery, carbon shafts, Ti exaust, Stripped loom and the list goes on..
