well, it is that, between 6500-9000 revs it flies, but its still only 250 brake ish, supercharged you are looking more around 550

I only thought they were around 200 brake. 550 with a supercharger sounds very optimistic!

You Honda guys are lucky. Us IS200 guys only get excited at 4500-6250 revs. Anything below that and they are embarrasingly slow!

lucky? haha what we have in nippyness we pay for with the £500 tax, £100 tyres and around 19mpg

and apparently if you get the supercharger that is endorsed by spoon, you get 540, obviously with the associated parts. theres a guy who will no doubt be there this weekend who has one fitted, his s2000 is niiice!

£500 tax! Sod that...

I reckon I'm getting 22-25 if I'm lucky and I'm due a new set of tyres after just under 4 months. But to be fair that was mainly me being lazy and not getting it tracked after lowering it for ages. oh and the clutch kicks...

How much would a spoon charger set you back? I'm guessing lots!

Hi, I like your thread, I am looking at doing pretty much the same to my brothers and my second is200. I have bought most parts to make up inlet and exhaust manifolds, and looking into making my own thicker head gasket from copper. I will be running standalone EMU Master ecu as they are relatively cheap and I have one on my 1jz which was easy enough to wire in etc.

What is your engine running at the moment? how much should it be able to run? I want somewhere in the region of 300 from the engine, but doing it on the cheap. I have a free turbo and everything else I am making from scratch. The car cost us £350 and will be used as a practice drift car as a bit of fun. Also after building my 1jz is200 I want to see if i can get some decent power from the 1G FE without pumping **** loads of money into it.

Cheers
