Leigh, do you want to sponsor my widebody supra for the Car shows up in the north that I put it into as well as the dyno comps up here? A manifold and GT4088 is all I require. I'll be happy to advertise with your sticker on the back! :D Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Damnit! Just when I thought i was going to have your babies as well. Oh well. In a couple more months when I get one of your packages off you, you need to make up an "extreme manifolds" for me and I can advertise your business :)

Leigh do you a Supra MK4 so you can make up a kit for my car? I'm after your manifold and possibly a GT4088 if you are able to get them? I want a turbo that is going to give me a max of 900rwhp but also a quicker spool time(im only chasing 650ishrwhp atm). Doesnt matter if it means I have to run more boost to get there, just want the quickest spool time. Can you suggest a capable turbo?

all the guys making 900rwhp+ are using a gt4508r(1200hp rated),but that turbo and fast spool time simply dont go well in the same sentence. a gt4202r(1000hp rated) will get you close to the power you want. i would probably go for the gt42 unless you are building a dedicated drag car. and for 650rwhp a gt4088r wont cut the mustard either. a gt4294r would be the weapon of choice there,and if you were to use that turbo the whole kit could be used with the larger gt4202r down the track if you want to chase the bigger power figures. or even have the 2 turbos and 2 tunes,you could swap over if you were going racing or doing street driving for a while. 900rwhp is a hell of a lot and the fastest vls in the land are only a making little over that figure,so its obvious it will never be streetable. you probably need to have a good long hard think about how much hp you really want as the kit has to be designed around that hp level and once you do it you have to live with the consequences,and big laggy turbos arent much fun on the street.

Im thinking the TO4Z would be more than enough atm if I am making 450.5 rwhp on a ****ty ebay $200 turbo and manifold? T70 only has an exhaust of .70 doesnt it? So I should make a fair bit more power when changing to a to4z with a .96? I would be able to hit about the 600+hp mark with the turbo dont you think? Or maybe the biggest exhaut wheel one? Or would you recommend going with t51r instead? The torque that the 2jz produces with 450rwhp is a bit of a handful as it is.

The torque that the 2jz produces with 450rwhp is a bit of a handful as it is. well the t51r will easily do the job but its gonna be much laggier than the t04z. if you are willing to push the t04z hard you should get that power. like i said before its just a matter of how much you need big power vs how important streetability is to you.

Im thinking the GT40 is the way to go for me. I mean the turbo setup I have atm is making fullboost by 4000rpm.. So with your manifold (better than ebay) the gt40 should be around about the same... Because someone on supraforums has told me his non bb hks t51r turbo makes full boost by 4400rpm. Pm Sent B Itch

Guy thought u might like to see the results of my Supra on the dyno.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHtVd...&feature=email (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHtVd3AAOPc&feature=email) Alot of people said with a .81 rear on the to4z i would barely crack 500rwhp....the cat atm is a restriction, so getting a new 1 put in and it should make very close to 600rwhp.... Cars alot of fun to drive on the street!!! Big thanks and shout out to Leigh, for all the work, and if any1 else need proof his manifolds, dumppipes and setups arent the best on the market...i think the results speak for themselves!!!
