dont make the same mistake as TS, we all know what mistake he made

yea, looks painful!

That is why a year already......

sitting there for a year.

Not really sitting for a year la... just out of the whole year I got to drive it for 2 weeks only. The rest of the year it was either fixing something or doing something.

But to be totally fair - I am a little OCD. So a little vibrate here or mess there, I get irritated and will want to fix it.

That is alot of downtime. Buying and expensive toy and only looking at it. I be you are excited once this thing is really up and running. Then you can finally harvest the fruits of your labour.

stock auto vs a souped up manual wor... how much more difference u want?

its definitely going to be much more drive-able with the holset hx35 compared to the hx55 that was on the car previously? was the car set up for drag? i wondered how the last owner drove with such a huge turbo on a 2.5l block, the boost threshold and lag is unimaginable...

i guess its because its the Halloween season, haha...

shuddup.. ssshhh.. it's the same so shuddup

Even by normal standards, the HX35 is already too big. I don't want 700hp on the wheel, I want 700nm torque but unfortunately I don't have that. And I don't know how the hell he drove with the HX55.. the boost fully kicked in 5k rpm and redline 7k... so it's super unusable power band.

u still got the hx55?

More than 350 hp at the wheels ? It's not going to feel the same ! You will be ripping your rear tyres even at the HP.

I don't have 350 WHP , but should be able to scare majority of those normal cars on the road.

Thanks,
Ken

The HX35 is pretty sizeable but still ok for a 2.5l block, should be able to push about 500hp. Seriously I don’t think the engine can generate enough exhaust to put the hx55 turbo in it’s efficient range even at such high rpm. The power and torque curve must have been quite horrible

Haha... ah ic.. I remember part of the thread was mentioning bro izso waiting for previous owner to detune the car before his purchase,

 

[Izso]

nope. Why would I want it? Had it traded in for the 35

Driving slower and not launching won't rip anything la. I don't fancy launch control and wasting precious expensive tyre threads. PS4 17" not cheap wei!

Yeah. But 400hp (Dynojet) is as much as I care to go. My understanding is the clutch is at its limits and I don't plan on using super sticky 3-puck/4-puck/gazillion-puck clutches since this is a daily.

I remember the owner once telling me about a run they had, all the supras were whizzing by and he was like "OKKKK boost coming in... coming in.. COME ONNNN... getting there.... almost!.... BOOOOOST" and the convoy had to stop after that... Sommore it was on video. So hilarious to watch.
