that is bowdown.gif crazy.

94 5speed conversion Liftback GT
did you see those sparks on the third pull? That thing is nuts! Thats gotta be the biggest turbo ive ever seen! Probably cost more then my life.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
laugh.gif i saw that on streetfire.net

how much does that turbo weigh?? probably helps keep the front tires on the ground too as well as provides downforce for when its movin


THE STUFFS FOR SALE!
That mounting really threw me. I assume this was done just for tuning but you have to wonder why you woundn't just mount in the way it was suppose to be mounted rather than do it twice. Could it be that they never intended to keep that monster in the car? Perhaps thats a stupid question.

video doesnt work :-/

thats how/where supra turbos are mounted. he probably has a 5in+ downpipe on that thing and had to do it that high up to clear everything.

i mean ... look at that thing... it looks like its too big for the engine bay!

Correct me if I am wrong, but that turbo, as it sits is AT LEAST 6" above the top of the hood.

yeah... but look how wide it is. i think it would hit the strut towers if it was sitting any lower. thats probably why they put it up that high.

that turbo is nuts! the stupid thing is, i know a guy who produces more HP on a single smaller turbo setup. 1200 hp for a turbo that big is kinda weak.
