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!

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
