Here's a old-school Toyota Celica Turbo... owned by TOM's then by Trust:

It apparently magically dissapeared after a few races in 1983. Now look where it's ended... in someones backyard laying to rot:

It's crazy how much abandoned cars there is in Japan... all just rusting away.

I'm looking at doing a 100k service on the GTR in the coming weeks. Should I replace my water pump with a standard pump or n1 water pump

Go see Rob And Rocco at Synergy, they get Tru-flo pumps fro japan, basically an N1 copy for a fraction of the price. Put one on my old 33 just before i sold it.

just took the 200 for the first spin in a few weeks. tis nice. crushed exhaust is making itself painfully obvious however. has trouble boosting past 0.8 bar, used to get out to 1.2 easy. gotta replace that soon, and install my ebc i reckon.

Jap Motorsport = Adelaide Jap?

I was going to buy a RB20 long motor for $1k, until I found a complete RB25DET cheaper :huh:

    • 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.
