PTXRT Member 16 Member For: 19y 5m 19d Location: Brookwater QLD Posted 21/05/06 10:52 AM Share Posted 21/05/06 10:52 AM Ah well, it was good while it lasted.As some of you know "my" T was actually my darling wife's lease car (but I doubt she drove 1000km in it).Well, she applied for and got another job with better conditions and $10K a year more so the salary sacrifice car went back to the lease company. 6 months old and 18,000km on it. Gonna lose money on that one, I bet they were pissed...So, I'm back driving my VR4 Galant and have upgraded Turbo, ECU, AFM and intake pipe, 720cc injectors, 040 fuel pump and a couple of other goodies for it waiting for me to get off my bum and have a massive installation weekend. It all adds up to a proven recipe that should get me about 220KW on 20PSI boost (yes a 4G63 will run that) and with the 60' times that AWD traction can give make it a 12 second car. I enjoyed my 1/2 a year back in the Blue Oval camp but have returned to motoring from the land of the rising sun. Next project looks like being a turbo import too. Going to give Toyota a whirl this time, either a JZX100 Chaser Tourer V, or a JZS147 Aristo. Leaning toward the Aristo at the moment. They run the 2JZ-GTE engine from the Supra. With "basic" import mods this engine should be good for not far short of 300KW. Add in a weight factor of about 1550Kg for the Aristo and the Kg/KW ratio is looking pretty damn good.http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=3748 is a typical example that would be about $20K on road and modded. If the car looks familiar, they are sold as a Lexus outside of Japan.Oh well, if you ever see a Lightning Strike BA MK11 6sp around with a Red T badge next to the XR6 on the skirts, that was mine.Was nice hanging out here and thanks for all the good info and the humour of reading the mis-info from the usual "I've got a mate who says..." experts that you find on any auto forum.seeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

It looks like a skinny Magna.... but it's got the soul of an Evo.I just love the looks from HSV drivers when the galant shows them a clean set of tail lights... :-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one in a Starion which was RWD and with little more than injectors, intercooler and ECU managed an easy 210rwkw through a supra 5sp box. Unopened the engine was tough and reliable, and very easy to tune. I was pushing 21psi at times and it never skipped a beat. What ECU are you using?
