thanx support is good as well as ideas im open to learn.......i love the thought of starting with a 3sgte and seizing a beams head and as far as 600hp it can be done iv seen many done as well as some here at 6gc money and time i got the car will keep its original look along with TRD so far lots have been done to car.

[delusionz]

600HP on a 2 litre would mean a very large turbo that wouldn't spool until near the redline making it not very drivable. Not to mention FWD, no lsd, no superstrut.

ok, time for a reality check.

forget about the beams.

its a 160whp high compression motor, thats not designed for boost, that costs about the same to swap as a 3sgte.

do you understand what a 600hp motor costs to build?

hell, we have guys who are struggling with traction with 300whp, nevermind double that.

come back down to earth, save your money, and do some proper research.

just a quick rundown:

3sgte swap = 4-5k
big turbo kit ~3k
ems 1500-2k + tuning (600-1k)
fuel 1k lines, rail, injectors, pumps (yes, pumps..a single walboro wont support 600whp safely)
built motor 4-5k
thats just a quick overview.
and thats doing all the work yourself.

i made it my self as far as cup holders go...im treating my car like a porsha theres no such thing as drinking in my car....must be bottled......the lid u see is not staying maybe ill rig something up inside the middle compartment to hold drinks...(bottled drinks)

little bit of a photo shoot

So because you're not having useable cup holders; its ok to set the McDonalds cup right on the passenger seat??
