+1 for sticking in 12psi. Why bother with engine management if you arent going to stick in some proper boost and make the most of it.

here's where it got me. 277atw :rolleyes:

If you want to strip out your car, then do as I'm doing ;)

Rip out all the interior

lol! nice mate, i bet that makes a noticable diffrence! :P some how i think cops would be questioning where my interior has gone... =P

"i spilt coffee on it officer :) so i pulled it out to be dry cleaned"

Yeah, the cops noticed it didn't have much interior, and a half cage, but didn't believe me about the coffee either :)

reo bar in the bumper is good for about 6kg, but it becomes illegal once you remove it as you have compromised the front end....6kg doesnt sound like heaps.....but its at the very very very front, makes a slight different, ac can go, so then can the condensor, boot trims, spare, jack etc. rear body trims, then it starts getting difficult...wat luxuries can you live without......how much time you going to spend driving....its all bout compromise at this point....lighter seats..removing non-essential bolts is good at removing a few kg, but then you drive down the road thinking....is my gearbox going to drop out coz i took out that many bolts....so i dont recommend it....lighter rims, lighter lug nuts (can be good for a kg in total), carbon fiber boot and bonnet,....thats about the MAX you'd go for a street car....

the entire ac system was good for 24kg in my 84 ma61 Supra (so compressor, brackets, condensor, drier, front end lines)

For sure ^ You don't need a floor either. Cut that bitch out and just hang onto the steering wheel.

Lol, reminds me of the first fast n furious when that super street spec chequer plate goes flying.

Danger to teh manifold.. lol

As for real weight saving the guys have allready said all the easy street spec stuff,

your next step would be replacing all glass with polly, replacing big metal fuel tank with a fuel cell. Ultra light battery, carbon shafts, Ti exaust, Stripped loom and the list goes on..

    • 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.
