made almost 500 hp at "only" 1.5 bar (21.75 pounds of boost) LOL!

Sounds like he got the engine fixed but I have not heard anything good about intec tuning. Good luck selling that FWD piece of crap. Might be able to get rid of it as a movie prop for the next Fast and the Furious LOL!

I don't think that was the car. Seat and engine bay look VERY similar however the wheels were totally different. They could have changed the wheels but IIRC I remember the owners friends bragging about them and I just kept thinking how hideous they were...

You must admitt a gt35r is pretty healthy turbo for a 4 cylinder to spool up.



Dave I am pretty sure thats the same car, i remember the name Ivan on the dyno boards in front of the trailer.

wow I didnt realize it was a gt35r, thats the turbo I want on my car!

how muhc did he make at ABF?

gregs 11-03-2006 09:51 PM

Hey wasn't this the guy at ABF, he did some pulls on the dyno and pretty much fried his engine. IIRC he drove off of the dyno and had a pretty bad rod knock. Discuss

wow what a piece of ****. $17,000 for torque steering greatness.





high powered turbo plus FWD = NO





pardon my honda hate please :-)

yeah he made some good power but detonated badly. surprised the thing ran home actually. it was making some pretty bad noise after it got off the dyno.
