well done man...

Thanks man :)

Nice 1 pal, bigger injectors then back down then?

Cheers dude.. Nah not going 1000cc just yet lol.. The car is enough, its like shooting out of a cannon on boost, tries to throw you all over the place.. Maybe in future better fuelling, 2.2 bar and headwork and go for 550-570... Who knows but at the moment its fine lol.

Not doubting it Dan, I just wanted to see the powerband as you say. Sounds like an epic build, well happy for you mate.

Oh no i didnt mean that John, im with you, i love the graphs, just not overly bothered about number, all a bit of fun.. I will do it soon though id imagine as it would be interesting to see.. I'll be sure to post it up on here so you can have a look when i do :)

well done mate one of the best drag starlet set up ive seen on this site ,be nice to see some good times set with this beast :) id say the over all build wasnt as much as the ecc starlet build :rockon::haha:

Thanks alot mate, thats nice to know :) Yeah i'll be sure to post up any progress of times etc..

very nice mate iv been watching the car a long while now on here and you tube and i love it its crazy and sexy congratz and cant wait for some new vids onboard and drag strip lol

Hahaha, thanks man! Yeah keep your eyes peeled although trying to video this now is very hard as i have to hold both hands on the steering wheel under boost, too much torque.
 

GI BOY

Stunning, now that's serious power in a Starlet, quality build!!!!
Bet it's an animal when boost kicks

John

Cheers dude, an absolute animal on boost, its mental..

Thanks Rich... Tested it against a couple of knows fast cars already and its hilarious, the acceleration is just extreme lol. So far very successful drives superb.

I will do mate, not just yet though, i want to drive it on road, give it some Dan abusing and see how it fairs up, once/if it pasts that test over the next month or so and has gained my confidence in reliability then i will hit the track...

Low boost at 11PSI is sensational... The grip is great and feels around the 300hp+ mark.. So that will be my setting for track and will work great.. Full boost i wont be able to brake in time for the corners, no chance.. I'll kill myself lol

Chris so right man, and you wouldnt believe the hassle and problems ive had trying to get this car sorted... dam its been a long process.

We are hoping for 500 WHP.. so whatever that is in fly.. But its so responsive even now, on 1/8 throttle between 1-3K revs it feels like a quick N/A car.. A tad light throttle and the turbo wants to spool at 2K!

Haha 500whp will be bonkers mate i can imagine the problems youve ran into but in all honesty now your where you are now would u change a thing ? Bar the price :p cant wait to see what it puts out :)

Nah i wouldnt change anything apart from maybe deciding to cut chassis leg to install turbo box then put a 200MPH final drive in lol! But id now need to change the bloody drive shafts if i were to go that route now and get a diff for that box and sell this one booo!! My gearing is only 155MPHGPS @7500RPM with 195/50/15... Will be going 16's for more gearing at this stage... Reaches top of 5th way to fast. Not sure what power its making but its a fair amount! On 11PSI feel of a similar speed(if not more) to what it was on my first set up, around 320ish BHP... and it runs 29PSI on full boost...

Videos or it did'nt happen :D Well done by the way must be a laugh.

LOL!! Its a proper laugh mate, big smile every time you get past 4000RPM! Will get some videos up, patience lol!
