I wonder if you were the owner of one of the cars I wanted when I was younger! 
Thanks for the explanation of your turbo system, awesome work!
I thought about going with a turbo supra to get better MPG but I'm thinking I would just put my foot in it too often for that to work. 
Any videos or showcase of your car elsewhere I can check out?
keep up the awesome work!
p.s. - what's an average (ROUGH guess) cost for a high HP 4cyl DSM buildup, and do you use stock axles, control arms and stuff? What's your dyno like?
I thought with such a quick time you'd be replacing all SORTS of suspension parts, did you need to? I know on a supra you have to above 400-500hp or so, or stuff starts to snap
Also, again mad props for achieving that MPG with all the drivetrain drag and obviously huge HP when you want it. I'm surprised if this car hasn't been featured or doesn't get a feature sometime soon. |
I just finished this car so not to many people have seen it yet. But it looks familiar because I made a John Shepard Talon look a like. John has the fastest AWD on the planet 7.70@ 191mph. In fact my Avatar is a picture of John Shepard's car.
So I guess I accomplished what I wanted.lol

I don't have any video yet but will soon have dyno and track times.
Here's my two friends that I was talking about from about two years ago both of them are a lot faster now.

Cost for a 9 second car with good parts can run around 10k.
The stock block record (stock rods pistons and crank) is held by a guy in Florida running high 8 second 1/4 mile.
Once you start running faster then 9.00 your cost goes up to around 20+k
On my car I'm running stock rods with stock modified pistons and stock suspension. My goal is to run 9.90 @ 140MPH.
Thanks again for the kind words.
