What, are you going to keep rabbits' feet all over your car? The reason it hasn't been done is becuase people blow their engines when they take it over 300.

Zaion achieved 440 whp at the peak of his RPMs with the boost turned up, with a fat turbo. I daresay he drives around romping on it like that, his block would just not be alive at this point.

If you don't want to take our advice, jut move along. The only reason you think we're "talking down" on you is because you're basically saying you're going to build a mansion with a hammer, nails, and some boards. It just can't be done. You're going to have to research on how to build a mansion and save for more materials or it's just going to be a crappy house.

I love how noobs get defensive when its just people with knowlegde trying to help them. People who have been around the GK community since the GK came out and have done great things with f/i in different ways both expensive (really expensive) and on a budget with great whp numbers. If you love your baby so much OP then listen and do things right. Some of your posts lead me to believe you have no tuning experience or knowledge which is ok. There are people out there with fast Tiburon's that can teach you. :3_pimatyo

I talk to them yesterday. What i heard was that only the manifolds have been done so far. There is a lot of work to be done. I should be going tomorrow morning. Is there is something new i let you know.

Yeah there's been a kit made before, but it was 15k.

Good luck with that setup. You'd get just as much power with a huge turbo, and it probably wouldn't cost as much.

But be original, man.

I was just reading this trend and one of the first mods a Supra owner does for performance is to convert from a twin turbo to a single turbo. You can fit two turbos under the hood but they would probably be turbos design for bikes. But good luck with the mod. I know you guys really know what your talking about and I enjoy learning from other peoples experiences. Thanks!!!

Actually, the Axis twin turbo setups in Korea are just under $9,000 and push out 450-hp. I'm not sure what's included, but assume there's some engine upgrades included. Of course, I haven't looked into turbo kits recently, but I'm sure there's more out there.

How is it poorly made? Other than FWD and underpowered what could you have against it?

From what we know it was stock block. We have only a small bit of info and a handful of pics to look off of. Personally I wouldn't chance it and would get the built block. No matter which way you look at it, its going to cost ya a bit of money.

BTW they also had to remove power steering I believe and also the AC unit. Just because Spinwheel did it, doesn't mean its an easy (nor cheap) project.

never said anything like that. Here in the states to get that shipped to us would cost 13k. For everything. I was pointing out it has been down and yes 400 on a stock block has been done , also only on turbo setup has this been done.
