the microtech'll work great, we're using an ltx12 on our gt42 3 rotor FD rx7 as well. the wiring's easy too.

that turbo's fuckin huuuuuge LOL you can make 900 on a 74mm so if u crank that puppy up to 40psi that'll be rediculous :D

much props to ya man, you made my day

q45 90mm throttle body ftw :D

Did i know you from somewhere? i think yea, i use to work for Sae Kang (RIP)
@ finishlinemotorsports,
Anyway i got a call from the guys at www.miketurboinc.com and Mr. Hong told me he was able to customize my GT45 to a 78mm inducer extended tip wheel so i was like jumping in one foot cuz that way i didnt have to boost all the way to 40 PSI we belive that at 35PSI we'll reach arround 1000 + or - whp and thats my goal, to have a engine capable of reaching out more than 1000 hp just in case but we will runn at a moderate 750+ whp to start dial in the chassis and we hope to runn in the 8.50's @ no more than 850+ whp all this on a manually shifted supra trany! and a single disc sintered iron clutch setup,

More pictures to come stay tuned!

I cant wait to take it to one of those ol school meets bro!
Right now i am still looking to someone who do the paint and bodywork, i want it satin Black but it got to be perfectlly done cuz the car is going to be at diferent events and a magazine from Australia want to do a coverage of it after finished, and we can negotiate somekind of sposorship for the paint to be exposed in the drag circuit of NSCRA new race events coming to the south east and northeast!
