As my major build is in progress, I thought i'd post it on here. I'm aiming for around 500+ Bhp. When i bought the car it was running a TD05 Turbo and a Mines ECU. I soon got hold of an Apexi PFC to replace the Mines, and got it tuned up to 1.4 bar at 357bhp. As the TD05 was nearing limits i bopught...

Silly me. Just read the title and immediately thought it said 'Wide Open Throttle Causes big End Failure". I was intrigued. Anyway, just realised its supposed to say"What".

Ya could try the Hankook RS2's. They seem to get good track day reviews from what i've read. Bit cheaper than the 888's too.

Not related to the tyre talk in any way, but got a vid of Nathan vs that 900bhp Granada in the final last year. Its not a brill vid cos its camera phone. Only just uploaded it.

D'oh. Working that day, but will see if i can get it off as last year was great- and the best tan i got all year.
If I ever get my car back from 3s, and it runs well, then i might even fancy a part. Should be ok on the 1/4 if all goes to plan.

Ive got one for my 500bhp project, but as ive not got car back, cant say what its like. Sure i read somewhere theyre supposed to be good for 600-700 bhp. Or i could just be plucking this number from my imagination.

Just noticed my Avatar picture no longer shows on posts, and ive been on my garage and half the parts have dissapeared from my modifications list. Anyone know where they've gone? Mods?

Ya can have my old Sard 850 side feeds if ya like. Nover been above 70% duty cycle. Only had them on for 6 months before taking my car in for big rebuild. They need the resister pack shorting out(high impedence) which isnt a problem. I'm going up to 1000's and top feed for 500bhp. My old sards will ...

Remember seeing some really nice aluminium undertrays for the MR2 somewhere. They were expensive, but looked lovely- bit like the underside of my mates VX220 Turbo.
Found them. http://emspowered.com/storefront/index. ... cts_id=175

I'd recommend the GT30 series all day long. Ive got the GT3076r. Cracking turbo. Good spool and great power.

I think it is. But chromed. Does anyone know how think the 'full race' ones are though?

What do ya reckon to this one i've found. it is ebay, but its in the US. Looks very much like full race, but how thick is full race tubing? That could be the major difference. Says it won't crack in the ad, but only has a 1 year warranty. See what ya think. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-3SGT...

Its having poly engine mount bushes fitted anyway. Does that mean a cheaper one will last a bit longer then before it needs weldin up?

Its ok, i found them. Mmmmmm, yeah they are expensive aint they? Will reconsider a bit, or get saving i think. DO the cheaper ones crack often do ya know?

Cheers. Well i dont expect the £130 ebay ones to be much cop. How much are the full race ones then with the rubbish exchange rate, and where can i get one from? Cheers again.

As my engine is currently being build as i type, i'm worrying that the stock rev 3 manifold wont be good enough for the 500BHP i'm after. I would love a nice stainless tubular one, but i've heard that most of them crack at some point. Are there any good ones about that don't crack? Or if not, does a...

Thought i remembered seeing one. Check out link below.

If its been sleaved, then i'm sure you'll have no probs.

But if ya not worried about you cylinder walls, then yes the .63a/r will do ya for 500bhp and spool quickly.
