His Civic was a coupe, but still...it had a custom trunkwall with four 10" Lanzar subwoofers, and the works...

Anyway, I am driving a Lexus SC300 5-speed mostly now, occasionally my Explorer, or my girlfriends Civic hatch. I am not out of the turbo scene per se...I say my piece here and there where I see fit, just kinda taking a break. Next year, I am going to re-ring my Lexus 2JZ-GE, and slap a T-78 on it, and go for 600hp or so. I am learning the ins and outs of the 2JZ-GE, which happens to be the same motor as the non-turbo Supra, and I have seen upwards of 700hp being made on the STOCK bottom end. My goal, however outlandish it sounds, depending on funding in the coming years, is 900hp+ @ the wheels...We'll see how that one goes as time proceeds...

 

Jeeezus. That will put your stomach in the back seat. Ever since you rode in the Skyline you just had to have something faster. hehe

 

well, it has been done!

just look at the newest issue of Turbo magazine. They have a turbo Supra with excess of 900 whp!

that's pretty damn amazing!

nah, its a long *** process...i should be in the academy in march, and then its another 5.5 months. right now i am an EMT

 

EMT is cool, do you like it?

why don't you just install it now. You have all the parts. You just need one free day and you can start boosting. You can't get more of a complete setup than what you already have man!

Go for it!!

I stay at SHO for the Off-Topic forum, but I guess I will spread my seed all over the net for turbo-tech. I mostly do tech help through e-mail though, I don't know 99% of the people who e-mail me, but I don't mind it.

Matt, nice to have you aboard Long live the SOHC, glad to see i'm not the only one pushing the envelop here

 

Even though the car isn't, the motor is still alive and running in a H-T member's car. Can't say whose, but this motor is on the streets still.

BTW The original turbo manifold will be on my d16z6 soon.
