That's never IT, but looks like you are getting close
LOL ya im CLOSE but i decided to get a 5 speed r154 yesterday instead of the 6 speed wich should speed things up a bit in the money catagory. Im goign to rebuilt the 5speed as stong as i can..anyone know any companies that sell race kits for the r154s? i found a place that cryogenically heat treats transmition parts that makes them as strong as chromoly steal. Im also going to have the trust washers built out of titanium from a mechin shop because those are the week points of the r154 i hear.... anything else?????????

The weight difference between our chassis and the Toyota/Lexus is going to change things up a bit.
Justin
true but how much? thats why i weighed the Z with the L28 in it...im curious to see how it effect the 50/50 distrabusion.
-
theres no way i would go automatic. I dont like drivn automatic, plus i do drift my other cars so chances of me pitchn this car sideways is greater then spending my time drag racing.
-
i gotta see some videos of that car drivn on the streets with the turbo hangn out like that LOL...friggn awsome
-
thanks man..its goinna be a fun build if it works lol
-
So, you're building a 1,000hp car and you're relying on information from "some kid"? I think you need to be like Danny Larusso and find yourself a Mr. Miyagi.
lol john how the hell did you know how to spell miyagi??? im not relyn on him in any way shape or form...iv never thought a 5speed could handle anything over 350hp.. it just made me second guess myself a little
-
i was just told by some kid that owns a 3rd gen supra that the r154's can handle 1000hp?? right now my biggest problem is finding a transmition im not going to blow... any ideas???
-
i went with the black backed headlight housing..it cut down on glair big time and looks pretty sick..but still a cheap housing
-
hey guys another update....got my 1200hp intake manifold by KU engineering yesturday..and my waste gate..and my 100mm throttle body and my sard fuel rail and HKS valve timing gears...the head its pulled apart and i brought it to the mechine shop to get it ported and polished. also they are going to port match the intake and exhuast manifolds to the head.

-

-
alright i will probably make one myself...
-
You will need to do a lot of work to the rear suspension to make this car work. Aftermarket LCAs, lots of reinforcement to the LCA inner mounting, reinforced diff mounting... pretty much every part in the rear suspension needs to be modified and reinforced.
at this point $$$$$$ lol BAD JOHN BAD NO MORE NEW LIKE THAT lol....i was hoping i could just modify stock stuff but NOOOO you had to say that..great lol.... ill figure it out.... by the way do you make a tranny mount???
-
Good to see you lurking around Mike
Oh yes i am lurking hahahah... i was reading over your rear end stiffening comment...i just planned on gusseting the controll arms and other weak areas...doing the cv shaft swap and putting a strong lsd in? is that not enough?
-
i find the best way to save gas is to have a nice cold air intake and drive it like a grandma...
-
sounds good john..im strapped for cash this week..just bought my intake manifold/100mm throttle body/sard fuel rail and fuel managment system
that was about 2 grand worth of crap lol -
i would leave it out and not have to worry about a fin breaking off and flying into your head..... seriously
-
Scottie makes all great, great points, so I do not need to be repetitive. I have a hard time understanding what 1000hp truly means. I have a 2900lbs car that is 450crankhp and it is a handful and it very rarely even sees WOT...I fear two things:
1) Loosing my license when I can almost double the speed limit in 2nd gear, with three more to grab
2) Going so fast, so rapidly that someone may not see me and....*bang", I have really got a huge respect for the fact that:
- I would like to enjoy old age and not in a wheel chair from a car crash at 100+ mph
- Respect that I am mortal
Over out and good luck to you!
Yasin
roger roger slow and rusty this is yellow ducky..i hear ya loud and clear lets a get this convoy a movin.... thanks! honestly its just to say its 1000hp for the magazines that are chomping at the bit for a cover shoot.
-
LOL thanks scottie..no worries man i may be a young kid compared to you (i dont kno how old u are) but Im not goinna do something stupid. Yes im doing a full roll cage in the car as well and a custom paintjob. I even plan to roll cage the engine bay around the motor. But i heard somewhere thats illeagle on the track???
Im tryn to win some shows here buy building a truley amazing and unusual car. Its going to be a showcase to how much detail and care we put into our customer cars here at B.customs.
.....
