..yes, japan is a total different culture, but its far more than i expected, and find myself enjoying it too much out there.
i find myself at the age of 25 and in prime conditions to pursue a working holiday visa for 1 year, i have applied for a job whilst out there, attended an interview and am just waiting.
Currently running 480hp and 390ftlb at 1.5bar through a fujitsubo Legalis r exhaust
(that is the limit for the exhaust being mapped safely With egts being under 900 all the time around track), this turbo is still to large For what I was eventually aiming for, as the current power is ideal for track, Just the turbo is not even being worked, if you changed the exhaust to something More free flowing, 1.7bar would flow 570hp, there is so much more ignition Timing that can be added. The car has previously had this Power figure at that boost, however many new things were added at rebuild.Just as an example this borg warner sx300 with 91.ar outspools a gt35r with
.68ar, and does not have ball bearings, just simply oil fed.The car is 96-97db at 5,000rpm tested at brands hatch, and twin open wastegates are
Not a problem.
All work carried out by the trusted garage since ownership 2
½ years, only 1 UK owner From import through Jm-Imports, car has seen So many trips to dynos, changed turbos 3 times, from changing the car from a drag Car using a T88-34D, to where it is now. Been through 3 4 ecu's, hks pro gold, link, link plus, solaris s6.No expense spared.
All mapping work carried out by Ryan 2-bar tuning.
.
If i go down this route, it may pay to break the car, if enough interest ive listed potential selling prices for everything below.
