This sounds like its gonna be good. What kinda price is the TO4Z turbo, is it a mega buck's item ?, an do they fit onto any single turbo manifold ?. (I might be being a little dumb here) .

i agree there with you mate for sure. its sickenning really. thanks for the possitivity. it helps us A LOT!!!

during testing at donnington we found the best setup on the suspension and tyre pressures and we were amazed to find that we were out running some of the decent 4wd cars like the evos and skylines. the problem during testing we had was that we didnt have the correct driver seat and harness setup.

as important as the rest of the car it is the same ammount of importance that the driver is as 1 unit with the car, sitting at the lowest point possible without any movement of the dirver's body during high speed cornering. this can have unprodicted effects on the ammount braking or accelerating you intend to use during the race/testing. this can only be experienced in an experiment, which is not cheap and hard to do.

we had rod millen motorsport design and manufacture for us a special subframe setup (which we now sell to the market) to allow the driver to sit lower to the cockpit.

with the perfect balance of braking, suspension setup, power and torque we found that at NO point during testing we had our supra go sideways in the most harshest of throws into corners. we were amazed!

and that was with the stock rear spoiler, just imagine what it would be like with a gt wing?

stay tuned.....

no need to feel dumb, this thread is for everyone to see and learn new things and experiences.

our aim is to share the knowledge and experience we have and hopefuly it will become a very useful and knowledgable thread for others to see.

as long as we stay on the subject then thats fine.

Absolutely, no tech info was ever provided to back up the superiority claims, just a lot of hot air. I even had a PM from a Garrett main agent telling me I was correct. Please don't consider it a waste of time, and point me to some actual proof that they are not readily available Garrett models with expensive housings bolted on Bijal. Educate me on what is so different about the HKS wheels, shafts, & cartridge. I will
gladly apologise if I am proved wrong, but as yet this is not the case.
