if you want a car that's wanted in america, get a lotus. who cares about HP, when the car can handle the pants off a nun?

for an s13 chassis, it's completely pointless to go 26 when 25 is also an option. first off, with the 26, you need the 25tranny. second, single turbo conversion. now dont get me wrong, you can have both turbos, but they dont just slide into the engine bay easily. why do all that, when 25 is single turbo, only .1 liter short, and you dont hafta get a different tranny for it's already there.

danifilth

well correct me if I am wrong but you still need the tranny for the swap.Second the #2 turbo problem has been fixed by mckinney motorsports they currently offer all the parts needed for the 26 swap.Granted one big matched turbo is better than two I was just saying DETT for the power effect.As for a Vette I have never nor will I ever want one sorry but thats just me.For me to sum up all of the things you want in one nice package:
Lamborghini Gallardo.

Yeah it'd be nice to afford a Lamborghini. You wouldn't even have to work for chicks, they'd just see your car and drop their pants.

Vega

Ah -yes- albeit remember I said price as well. If I could afford a lambo - I would just as much buy a konisegg or The Edonis. Then what is the point of it all? I have not been looking only for looks if you were to read what has been written. I love to work on cars its one of a myriad of things I enjoy doing. With the either one of those cars i woulnd't dare touch it. Plus with the money it would take to buy those cars I can make a car that is quicker, looks better, plus with better gas milage. Lastly, looks are a point of view as is most of the other asthetic things I have pointed out.

I realy do not wish to argue about own a vette - I own one so there for I must stand up for the car. Plus - damn it all its a vette.

danifilth

haha I knew the vette thing would get to you as it should I was just saying I dont really like them is all.Except for a 56 vette them are nice!!!I think the Lamborghini Gallardo is the new price point Lamborghini is it not?Only $150,000 if I remember correctly.Anyways I understand exactly where you are coming from and to tell you the truth you should save the money and either:
1.Buy a Supra (can be built to surpass a Skyline)and mod the hell out of it for around the price you would purchase a Skyline with minor bolt ons and a tune-up

2.Wait for Toyota to unveil the new Supra and mod the hell out of it.

or last but not least

3.2007 Nissan GTR!!!

going back to topic -_-

i live in arizona and our fellow NF member opium recently dealt w/ cameron. to my knowledge, opium had not run into much problems. it may be becuase we all live in AZ and can go visit each other if a problem comes up.. cameron's only 19, give him a break.. i don't see you guys going out and starting a business when ur 19yo.. i will say that being 19yo, cameron may not be the most experienced rb related mechanic/engineer there is. opium said he doesn't really know what he's doing who cares!! he has teh parts for decent prices!!!

i live in az, so i will happily do business w/ him. ( if he pisses me off, i'll just go jump him or something ) as far as i can see, most of the unsatisfied customers are from out-of-state. bottom line : if you live in az, it's not as big of a risk. if you live outside of az, you may run into some problems

mckinney motorsports is a rip off for gettin two turbos in it. cameron has dealt with alot of ppl and alot of em arent very happy, there are other forums out there that have ppl who arent happy with him. if i deal with him, ill have ope help me out. but at the moment, i have found cheaper prices from what he has offered me.

and if im gonna pay more than $100k for a car, it better be a 400r, yellow, championship blue, or red wine color.

1. What would you do to the supra? The cost? What times in the quarter would you think it would do? Also would it not be more cost effective to get a Lexus SC300 instead? When is this new supra going to come out?

2. Where did you find better prices?

3. Anyone else - then us few who have had contact with him?

4. How do you guys think he got the DOT and the EPA to approve this? Where do you all think he learned this from? The boards? I think I am going to do some more research on his REAL name and his forum name. It would be great if you all would do the same. Then we would ALL know the secret to his workings. We could do it for ourselves thousands less, possibly.

5. Maybe we all some time in your 240s with my vettes on the road. We could have some sort of joint meet with the American buffs and the gookers. I don't know of many swap meets or shows or meets in general that include both - with great respect for one another. It would be nice to realize on both sides that both the imports and the Americans are great cars. To the exception of mitsu and Chrysler and dodge and so forth. Unless you custom out EVERYTHING.

240sxcoupe

1g-gteu just to be different in america for the supra, that's mk3 tho. screw mk4. lexus sc300 is pricey, mk3 supra is cheaper, i bet the 1g is cheap, a front clip that is.

Vega

What is the difference in them? Also what is the cryptics behind the wording of that?

240sxcoupe

it's a 2.0 liter twin cam 24 valve twin turbo, that's the letterings that were on my mk3 supra. lemme find a pic...



click here... http://www.toyota-supra.info/models/1990_8/4568/ everything you need to know bout it. mines was an 89 year. parts are hard to find, it's a japan only engine i think. i have friends in japan and they have told me they are very quick when tuned well. i didnt tune shit, my bro had a hks bov and a 3 in. exhuast system. car's dead but has a shitload of kill counts on hondas, well, it was unfair battle but i do not give a shit.

Vega

What does or did it do in the quarter.

Also notice when you are comparing things remember that I can throw a ram jet 572 in the vette. That would be crazy quick. Just the 502 has 502hp/565 torque no now and 70 more ci.

We are talking about 650hp in a stock engine, that is insane. W

kaptainkrollio

coulda gone gt3. good price and throw on some tt from a turbo. man itll fly. and props to the guy who mentioned the elise. try that turbo'd. holy shit

Vega

Now about a month or so ago I was at a car show in MN. There was an elise there. Althow does anyone know if the OLDER one are alowd in the states now. Because I can import an older one then turbo it as you say. The car only weights 1900 pounds is a 4 cyl (that means good MPG) with only that much weight it can go (at least the new ones) up to 170mph. I found one on ebay about 2 months ago that whent for 8gs.

What kind of turbos would you run on that? How about nitros?
