4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
something different i've been working on in the shop. i am building two of these. the one shown is for a 600hp street car and the second car will have the identical setup (different turbos) with a fully built motor aiming for 1000whp. i'll post up more pics as the project progresses.
passenger side header:
d/s:
tight fit, but there is lots of room up front, which is where the turbos are going to sit. the crappy thing is that there will have to be up pipes and down pipes. for it to fit.
right now i'm just waiting on some v-bands from adam at racing-solutions. hopefully i'll have them next week.

just remember they're normally high class people, so don't act like we all do here LoL!!!
very low-voume, but what you will find is the people that do play, have limitless funds. its nothing for some of them to spend 5-10k on a v8 setup wheels to management just to get it 100% reliable at a measily 600bhp. so make your ---- GOOD if you sell to them. (i know youre tops, but i mean go above and beyond). they expect people to know their ---- 100% and deliver!

i had to make the mounts, as the car was delivered with none. as for transmission, they had an adapter made to mount the mk3 to the auto bell housing of the 1uz so they could still run a manual.
here are the turbos mounted up. just need some v-bands and some intercooler cores to get this done.

Did you call customs with that tracking #? It shouldn't be taking so long.
I remember a thread a few years back where they put that engine in a reconstructed Ferrari F40 and twin turbo'd it. Did >800.
