Well I woke up this morning with a new and fresh additude and it's still blowin in the breeze, this time with a turbo.. :D

Hell the hard part is all ready done and that is the chargecooler, now it's just new headers again.......this time there'll be a turbo hagin on them....

I've got some new ideas on a intake system and manifold so now the fun part begins.... :D


I'll never just give my car over to some yah-who without being hands on again....... :twisted:

Good luck, this will work out better than the Works not Power rip-offs!
Maybe you can sell this idea to them! :D
But better not, they already have their super SC.

I'll strip out my headers and exhaust tomorrow to speed things along and it's off to Smaays on Tues..........I'll be playing with an Lotus S style manifold and my chargecooler to see if the throttle responce will be as good as it was with the blower, I think reducing the internal intake manifold volume will make it snappy....we'll see..

Forcedfed didn't have an eternal wastegate on their kit. What are ur plans? Hopefully priced better...

I hope you and Smaay come up with something.

I know we'll come up with a killer setup and the price won't be anywhere near the Forcedfed kit......external wastegate only for me..... Whatever we come up with will be available for you guys....again I'm not in this for the money just the fun.. :D

Smaay has put dowm over 550rwhp withn his 2ZZ, I'm not tryin for that but a nice 450rwhp would be cool.. :D

I'll see how much power this shitbox can handle in the canyons.......The beauty is if it's too much you just dial it back :idea:

You just gotta know how to use your right foot... :lol:

I was thinking maybe around 270 rwhp would be good. Casey was saying that 320 is the sweet spot and more was just a bit insane.
Take into account Frank that you were 320 before with your supercharger but you pick up all the turbo torque.

Frank, any thoughts on throttlebody location? The S manifold points toward the passenger side - hmm, should be interesting...
