yeah so I could further humiliate myself by showing the rest of the world what god-awful sounds my car makes... Here's the sound of turning a corner and taking off:
Idle: chug chug chug..KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK (sound of my exhaust pipe hitting cuz the engine is running too rough).. Turning a corner: rrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOW *SCRREEEECH* (power steering growling and squeeking). Taking off: vvvvvvvrrroooooooOOOOOOMMM KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK GUH GUH GUH *CHIRP* vroooooooOOOOOM PSSSSSH I really gotta tune the fuel curve on this thing. The idle is horrible and combine that with lightweight flywheel and stiff pressure plate and it makes it difficult to take off sometimes. - aba |

Lagos...I love reading the threads you start because you ask very good pre-swap questions. (this one and the traction one come to mind) They help us guys that are heading that way....smiles. BTW, I completed my profile today despite the fact that the car won't be finished until July....A pic of my car in stock form is on its way in a couple days....but who wants to see that?

I dont have 300whp now, but thats what im aiming for. From the researh ive gathered the stock internals should be able to hold up if they dont, I dont mind yanking the engine out again and installing the forgies. but yes to acheive 300 to the ground, u will need to go with the supra injectors. And a bigger turbo will be needed as well. this is the one im thinking about getting next summer Street brawler and it should put me right where i want to be |

Nice turbo, but rather expensive, stage 2 hybrids for the 3sgte cost about $1700 dollars over here and are effective up to 1.6 bar, but the brawler will have plenty in reserve!
wat about blitz 850cc injectors? This post has been edited by uzthedentist: May 1, 2004 - 12:50 PM -------------------- GT4 ST205 79 modifications and rising!!
