I recently started gathering parts to build a rb22 hybrid engine for my R32 GTST...but circumstances have changed and that project is now dead...but it ain't all bad...because i have seen the light...or perhaps moved over to the dark side (depending on your point of view)...gone is my 237rwkw R32 GTST and in its place now is a 3L straight 6 twin turbo brute...

A deal too good to pass up came along and I went for it...the car is still stockish at the moment with and exhaust and safc...it also came with 272 degree cams...other goodies include the factory big brake kit and factory bilsteins...which is a bonus...i'm guessing it makes around 200rwkw at the moment at about 12psi...but it will make alot more when i'm done with it...

Therefore...i will soon have a blown rb20det to give away along with other bits for the rb22 build...stay posted...cheers...

Its got a getrag in there...so i think that answers the auto or manual question...

I don't like the wing as well...but it leaves some really ugly holes if you take it off...so that might take awhile to sort out...at least i know that the toyota engineers have actually designed it to provide proper downforce...

I don't mind it as well but it does look better without the wing...

After throwing it around a few corners yesterday i must say that its very balanced and planted...and while its not exactly light its more nimble than you might think...the chassis is great...oh what a feeling...lolz!!!

personally not a fan of supra's.. big fan of the 2jz!!! gotta throw it in something better... PLEASE!!!

Whats a better chassis to throw it into? just out of curiousity...find me a chassis that can hold a constant load of almost 1g back in its day...

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
