Hey Guys,

I'm most likely goign to be in Japan around the time of the f*kuoka Auto Salon..i'll have to stay a couple of extra days and i was just wondering if you guys knew anything more about it???

Like is the auto salon there worth it????

Would it maybe be more worth while goign early and going to TAS instead of FAS?

Cheers,

Duncan.

Yeah theres always some tuff cars at Fu_kuoka AS, but it's definately not on the same scale as Tkyo, and even Osaka is bigger. I'd go to Fu_kuoka for sightseeing first - Auto salon second. I'd go to Tokyo for the Salon first - sightseeing second...

i think 1 day is plenty. Last year I was there just for one morning. I guess it depends how many photos you want to take... waiting for people to get out of the way who are waiting for others who are waiting for others to get out of the way to take a photo of what you want to take a photo of can take a while...

on another note did anyone go to the awesome dog show at makuhari late last year ? :P

Yes you can, though generally its smaller parts only, not alot of engine hardware.

There is bling there, sure - but there is also one of the biggest collections of incredibly modified street, drag and drift cars you will ever see.

Michael, I can help - Richard and I will be there for two weeks across the time of Autosalon and so will a few others.

We will be quite busy with parts sourcing, workshop visits, drinking and hopefully some more drifting :)

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.
