Hey all,

Will be in Chiba at 12 thursday, anyone going to be at the holtel or thereabouts? Richard, my supplier knows the guys at cruise power and will get you some stickers (will be sent in one of my cars in container due end of feb), didnt have time to get some myself.

Cheers,

Ken

if anyone wants to head out to upgarage ill be checking it out tommorow and can show ya where it is. catching from shibuya, bout 30min away.

Could you possibly give me detailed directions to Upgarage in Chiba (and any other nearby shops)?

Tomorrow is my last free day here (fly out Wed) and I was thinking about going to Chiba. I have a tour of the Imperial Palace (Tokyo Station) at 10am and I plan on heading to Chiba immediately after that.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Well, the TAS meeting went down like a lead balloon.

On behalf of Richard, James and myself, I'd like to thank those who failed to show.

kthxbye

    • 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.
