Yeah... I would have if the second turbo wasn't dead... :rofl:

I got US spec Turbo's ordered at the moment... Once I have those on I will represent. :rofl:

I had a quick look at the Weight of the IS300... I think it is around 1450GK... is that right?

Na, mine is the IS200, 1380kg. have run 13.4 on standard boost, but havent run it since, with 13psi.

US Spec turbs, nice, a mate had them on his car for a while, made close to 300rwkw, but also had the US 550's, and 1 bar. Good upgrade.

That's not too bad... How did you find it around the bends with that engine in the front?

I guess the injectors is another thing I should look at while I am gettign the Turbo's switched and all... I am getting them from a guy who owns a dealership in teh US so I can get everything else I need too.. :rofl:

thanks shane :rofl:  good to see you guys had fun :rofl:  i haven't seen paul in ages!!  whats he driving around in now?!

Moana, he was in the little silver civic, says its a better car to drive than the GTR :kick: hahaha.

Shonen, car looks awesome, but Ben in the White Auto GTt, seems to go well against me...hmmm..

Shaolin, the car is awesome around the twisties, the motor does weigh a bit more, but i hvae coilovers, and upgraded sways etc to compenstate. When you upgrade the injectors, ill be interested in your 440's !! haha

Alright... If I get them I will let you know...

Did you ever look at putting the Lexus V8 from the SC400 in there??

I did, and it has been done before, but it would limit performance. It would sound real good, go well, but you know what its like, your always after more. With a 1J, you can do much more. Unless of course, twin turboing the V8 haha, but its all about $$. I originally wanted a 2JZ, but costs of the 2j+box, is too exp for me, plus the driveline wouldnt last ver long hehe.

well like I said I was only running low boost.....if I ran 0.9bar which is what the car is tuned for than might have been a different story :rofl:  

hmm interesting....I gotta run ben one day......last time I checked I think I had a few more mods than him.....

whats 0.7 bar? I was running 10psi.

I was talking about TTing the V8... :rofl:

That would be the ultimate... I would even do that to the Supra as I am pretty sure it is a lighter engine and can take the Turbo's well... :rofl:

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
