V6 turbo kit . . .

[TRD_solaRa]

Hey, I was wondering if any of you guys have actually seen a turbo kit for the V6 5 speed Solaras (or autos if you actually want one )? Cause I've seen only one so far in the past year. The guy is from Hawaii and his Solara is pretty pimp too . Damn it is pretty sick. Alright, just wondering if anyone else knows of it. Too bad he didn't enter in this past IREV 2003 show . Hawaii repasent. Haha. Oh wellz. Shootz. Peace.

I had another pic that was better, but this is all for now.

There is 1 person here with a custom turbo. UltraslowSolara. There are some posts about his turbo if you search.

Is that a FMIC? I remember a thread a while back saying you couldn't have one on a Solara.

Definatly agree. I wouldnt think he would be getting much more than any 4 or 5 psi. Its got to spool fast, which is cool, but the only modification he listed that isnt part of the actuall turbo setup was a fac, perhaps 6 psi max? I mean he wouldnt run much more than any sc with the same fuel setup would he? Either way, the car rocks....

At the tracks . . . this guy used to run around a 15.2 constantly. Since I've left Hawaii for college, my friend told me that he ran against him and he ran a constant 14.2 - 14.3 or there of. Not bad. But what do you S/C fellaz run at the track? He has been modifying and tuning his car a bit too. But I'm jus wonderin which would be "better" . . . the SuperCharger or a tuRbo??? Peace.

If you want turbo you need prepare AT LEAST $6000 and headaches

sorry guys, haven't been here for a while. I'm running 12psi right now wit the S-AFC alone. My two knock sensors are malfunctioning though, so I guess the timing is retarded as much as can be, so that's how I'm able to run the 12psi. Hoping to get a bigger turbo, JP performance headers, and the foreghn affairs 9.2:1 heads soon. Also looking into converting into a return style fuel system. That's about it for now. Anyone wanna buy my seats(black/red vinyl). Let me know...

Damn boi 12 psi is fricken choooke! I didn't ever think our cars could handle that much . . . tite. I've seen your car around 808 only a few times, but never got to get a good look at your ride. My friend with a white WRX said he ran against you a few times and you got into the low 14s. Any chance of 13s soon? I was wondering if you know where I could get a custom exhaust manifold done? Evolutions? Lataz.
