What you don't really notice from the passenger seat is how quickly the first turbo spools.

And just think, the "typical" modified FD still running its stock turbos is usually in the range of 300 to 350 hp at the wheels. A stocker puts down about 230.

Not the dyno queen numbers of a Supra but it's also got a 600 lb weight advantage and better gearing.

After he gets his rebuild, he might as well buy another spare engine. We all know he's gonna need it.

The motor runs great & it's only my summer car. I'm already planning on swapping in a street ported motor, possibly in the winter of 2005, provided this one lasts till then.
