A couple of 13.3's, so not too bad really. 2nd in class on day, fastest car ran 12.9's I think (didn't even see it run tbh).

Running an almost standard v6 setup at the moment last dyno'd at 165atw's, expecting over 200 atw's while still n/a and god knows with the M90.

Were you there racing?

Just watching :mrgreen: brought mine down but too much track traffic put me off :( Loads of Macdonalds performance cars !! :lol:

I'll get down later in the year for a couple of runs... I'm trying to get et's over 125+ mph fully loaded.. but could be wishful thinking ! :thumleft:

125mph... :twisted: .

Makes my 105 terminals look a bit silly lol.

I'd love to whack boost through the 3vzfe to see what the mk1 can do.

How much power is your mk2 putting down?

Wouldn't take too much, pipe the turbo down stream of the engine ( almost like a remote turbo ) 2x3 branch, 2 divorce streams into one.. stick a T3 flange on there, a little buzzing turbo, couple of oil lines and a new pipe from the back of the turbo to the exhaust ! :mrgreen: :thumleft: Although space isn't in your favour !

Heres some ideas......

Dont know .. seat of the pants says fast when it hits 1.8 bar .. circa 500 I'd like to think... :D Pulls away from the M5 :thumleft:

So surely a tried and tested SC squeezed in there somewhere would be a lot easier. There is a vortech SC designed for the Lexus V8 on ebay at the moment for £400, I'm sure it would have more than enough puff for the 3VZ. Might just need water/meth injection to keep those cast pistons cool.

Sorry, haven't had it on a weighbridge.

As for a Supercharger, I have a pair of eaton m90's (a used one and a brand new one) + a chargecooler core.

I'm hoping 12psi won't leave me with too hot intake temps.

Just need a summer free to design the damn thing. :lol:

As for the cast pistons, I've got some JE low comp pistons. But need a MLS or similar headgasket and boost, to make that engine worth building yet.

Jeez, sounds like you'll be struggling to keep the front wheels on the floor when done.
