Kyosho Racing perhaps? I'm not sure if they are even a shop, nor do I have a website. However, I know that they use Top Fuel products on their cars. Sorry I couldn't be of more help .

I'm not sure of the best place to buy Top Fuel products, but you can check out the Top Fuel Web site to get an idea of what they make:

And how about a couple pics of the Top Fuel car for good measure:

most of the engine parts that they make will be extreamly hard to get here. I have the exhaust, and body kit from them, but most of it was smuggled into the country from extream hook ups in Japan. On all the top fuel engine stuff, they have a papaer that clearly states that their products are for use in Japan only and are illegal in other countries. As for the body kit, you can find it here and also replicias. However the kit in rear don't fit with 98 bumpers and fits kinda bad on 97-below bumpers. The front lip is nice, but scrapes on everything and chips up and cracks from the fiberglass. The side are ok, but also don't fit well and they don't work with the type R side logos, so you have to reapply them on the kit.
The turbo is nice, but a huge rip off! Especally in the US.

V-Spec Performance in Baldwin Park California import Top Fuel products.

Top Fuel makes fuel pumps, real lower aluminum control arms, exhaust manifolds, cams, and programmed ECUs. Most of Top Fuel's cars use custom Top Fuel parts that they make themselves.

Top Fuel has a turbo kit that consists of a Top Fuel stainless steel manifold (TOP QUALITY), Blitz K3T turbo (the McLaren of turbos), Top Fuel blow off valve (i think) and a Blitz wastegate.

Top Fuel turbo kits are not rip offs. They're quality and "you get what you pay for".

actually they are a HUGE rip off. I know top fuel personally. I've talked to the owner of Top Fuel many times. In fact he offered me a ride in his R when I was in Japan, but from where I was staying it was almost impossible to reach him with the current security issues around the US.
Yeah Top Fuel uses the best parts, however you can buold your own kit for a lot less money.
Here's a list of some other stuff that they sell that you forgot to mention:
pistons
robs
stroker kits
cams
gears
ECU's
injectors
exhausts
intakes
flywheels
clutchs
gearing sets
intercoolers
oil coolers
turbo's
manafolds
body kits
drag parts
suspention kits
arm kits and camber kits
block guards
pulley kit
NOS kits
plus many custom parts
Most of those parts that I listed Top Fuel just sells with their name on it. Kinda like Comptech does with some parts. I love Top Fuel, but when it comes to using it for the US, its better to just make your own custom setups which are practically the same minus the Top Fuel name for A LOT less money.

Oh yeah and according to the owner, buy your stuff from Aerodyne Industries which is in CA. However they follow Top Fuel's rules about selling certain parts to the US.

Well I can get TopFuel parts for you, but I was never told I couldn't import anything from them. Also I can tell everyone basically no tuner makes there own turbos these days most Japanese tuners use KKK turbos from Europe..they make the stocker turbos for Turbo Porsches since early 90's if not earlier. If not them IHI turbos based in Japan which is normal turbo seen on all turbo WRC and rally class cars. And I believe most US turbo companies are Turbotechics from Europe..been around almost long as KKK turbos.

No matter who you get the turbo from very few make there own and if you look on the castingcase of the turbo you will normally see who makes it. Blitz, TopFuel, Apexi, Sard, HKS normally have the triple K triangle on there casting if not then it's IHI logo and I for one like turbos made by Triple K or IHI since they been used in racing series in Europe for yrs and are very reliable.

Actually, I mentioned manifolds and cams j/p

yes, you probably could build a better kit cheaper - but the authenticity factor still remains.

You're very lucky to know Top Fuel!! I would kill for 1 ride in a Top Fuel car!! Especially that RWD del Sol.

peace
