That's awesome power man, congrats on getting it running well! Bet it's a lot of fun.
Curious why the boost falls to 17psi. Surely your turbo can provide more airflow than that. Is the boost controller set to 17 and spikes to 20psi maybe? If it held 20psi I think it would be in the upper 500s for peak power.

Awesome!! That power level has got to be just a blast to drive. I want I ride.

That could be, but who knows. I'm sure the fact that I just have a 10lb WG spring doesn't help. Later tonight I can post a snap shot of the log that shows the boost level. Once I want to turn it up more, I'll be adding more springs to the WG which I'm hoping will help keep the boost curve flatter. I have an 11psi and 5psi spring, that can all be added since they are different physical sizes. So if I have all 3 in there, I should be at about 26psi on WG alone, no MBC.

How much do these cars weigh? Just curious, looks fun though, very nice.

I'd guess maybe 3500lbs. Would like to get it on a scale someday. Probably no more than your X weighs I'd think.

whoa, very nice!

Looks great B. Have fun with it!

Zing! hahaha
btw 26psi would be insane

Zing! hahaha

LOL, just noticed this, must of edited it for the zing ;)

My X is closer to 3300 I would think the way I run it sans lots of stuff and lighter things. But I am also not light at 220-225.

I was just curious on the weight, had no idea what these things weigh, figured it could be a bit heavier with lexus luxury type added weight.

Everyone refers to these cars are pigs, but really they weight just slightly more or even less than some modern cars. And there is plenty of weight reduction to be had.


SC300 Curb Weight 3482

Supra (Hard)3475 (Targa)3525

Evo X Curb weight (GSR)3517 (MR)3594

Evo 9 Curb weight 3263

2G DSM AWD Curb Weight 3270

Again, I had no idea, was just curious haha. They all call the X a pig too.

3482 stock isn't bad at all with a car like this.

Anyway, I am sure the car is a blast and I wanna see 26psi!
