man thats pretty damn good. i was watching a show about some guys in nz doing up a vtec crx. they bored it out to almost 2L (the b16 lol) turbo n sht and they did it to prov ethat a done up car will waste a car 10x its price and they did they smoked everything xcept a vspec gtr34 and it ran 13.7 consistantly against all cars. that 34 ran a 13.1 oe 12.1 i cant remember but it had over 600ponies at 4wheels... show was called something something overboost lol it was on discovery turbo and they repeated it 2 times since lol
i do agree with what mussing said regarding lurking, most of the time i have nothng meaninful to say. i mean my threads ratio is horrible as well lol as for your car man ur dad did a very good job with that brushing. i kow how crap the photoes come up with the iphone and it still looks amazing. and seeing it whole outside with a very contrasting background the hood looks the part on it 100% absolutly love that car man. i want a carmate bumber, but the one with no indicator holes just would LOVE to see it b4 i buy it lol ur lucky living closer to them than me haha/ the proton wheels suit it as well if u want to shave a bit of ur time, get as fat tyres as u can afford up front, as skinny tyres as u dare on the rear, strip ur back seat out of the car and leave ur spare tyre with ur friend on the sidelines haha. that will shave about 40kg and the tyres will give u more grip and rears less roling resistance. looking forward to improvements |

Discovery Turbo Max best channel ever.
OT: Car is looking good and congrats on the times. When my cousin first started drags in his supra he got high 14 but with practice got it down to mid 13's and now runs high 12's with some more mods. It's all about practice. |

If you do change your head to NA may pay you to use the turbo cams from BPT head? You prolly know this anyway. Just extra work to consider Sympathise with you about time constraints. All best with this beasty

Everyone that has done the n/a head swap still used the original bpt cams.
IF doing that, you might as well pull the whole engine and do a full pro rebuild. |
