I've been looking at this post for a while. The only reason I have posted anything is because I've thinking what words I should use to express this masterpiece, art, science, and engineering marvel? Words... just seem so small. I hope this expresses my thoughts

WOW . Thats impressive and very clean. I'm going to be tackling a turbo setup myself this summer as I'm in school now and not making as much money nor do I have my garage. I'm sure I'll have questions about it. Looks great, keep up the good work and let us know how the performance turns out.

Nice work! Now I have a vision, you should try to get in some sort a magazine. I bet they would definatly take a second look. They probably havent had any articles yet on solaras. Then you can have a picture of you car on the cover with some voluptous babe next to it! Then you would have some more bragging rights besides the turbo over the rest of us solaraguys. Then people would read the magazine and want a solara. Then they start modding them like accords and then we have more access to car parts and prices would be cheaper. But now that i think about all that on the contrary, we would be as unique anymore if we became like the accord world.

Anyway that is bad ass what you did. I saw two years ago some guy at indy truck bash in indianapolis that had a white gen 1 that was turbo charged. He had his exhaust comining out the back of the back bumper. Its wierd thinking back. I had my camaro then and i was impressed to see a solara with a turbo in it. I think i talked to the guy for a half an hour about his car. Back then i never would have thought that i would have a solara now. Anyway ill stop rambling on and on and on and on...

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Please remember that all this work was not because of one person but is a compilation of sharp individuals who have experimented on their 1mz. JoeB has done it for us again and now we're able to start "tabasco" for the first time with the greddy emanage ultimate. I'm gonna run to AMS tomorrow and hook up my laptop for the initial settings.

All this talk about magazine covers and stuff is great but I'd rather have carlos, gabe, and joeB in there too. We're currently working on that.

Good God, that's all I have to say.........

Oh yeah, Toyota!!!!

What kind of fans are those? I'd like to change my out since I got the bigger radiator.

"Tabasco" is looking like a beast.....

I wonder once I'm done with college if your mech. will work on a motor for me......

Those are FAL low profile fans for a 95-99 Eclipse Turbo. Arrieta was able to custom fit them on our Solara. The low profile fans allow better cooling and more space for motors that have been upgraded to a bigger turbo/downpipe. Check them out at www.summitracing.com or www.extremepsi.com

The engine looks even better now than in the photos. Now it also has a custom mirrored stainless steel panel covering the fuel rail and vacuum lines between the cylinderheads that wasn't on it when Rizal took these photos.
