It's getting right on my boobs mate! There's 2000 more rpm to come from it and a lot more boost!!!

Realistically, it's going to be a few weeks at least. Maybe up to 2 months!

Well, the stock engine was only made for 5500rpm, being a truck engine - but I had the head massively worked on. Porting, cams, valves, shimless bucket conversion - so it's ok for 8000rpm now, but I'll take it to 7500rpm.

Then boost will be determined by whatever Ryan G from 2BarTuning thinks is safe.

What Bhp are you expecting?? :-k


Not a clue!
It's all about the delivery for me, not the peak figure. Should be north of 500bhp though.


Awesome....

Hope you're keeping it out of the snow! :shock:

Cheers, Matt. Long road and all that - worth the wait, though! Looks better than a TRD kit IMO, so maybe that Neo's experience was a blessing in disguise, I've something much more unique and special - like those 10 a penny TRD's :lol:

It's nicely tucked up - next to the Supra, away from the nasty snow!

Amazing built mate! you got any bhp figures yet? It'll be a monster at high boost.

It'll support larger turbos - anything that comes with a T4 flange really :)
