Well I've been posting on SG for a couple months now and it just dawned on me that i haven't properly introduced myself yet... My name is christian, I live in northern Alabama (but I'm not a redneck ) and I drive a 2002 slev6 Solara. I have already learned a whole a vast amount from you guys will defiantly need alot of help from you guys soon. I'm purchasing a GT4088R soon *hint hint*

cool deal. Thats a pretty big snail. I'm going with a T3/T04E. How much power you planning on making cuz that gt40 can flow A LOT of air

by **Ilovemylara** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:00 pm

+100-150 hp maybe more.. I haven't sunk too far into this project cuz she's my daily driver lol. First things first would be upgrading internals... don't want chunks of connecting rod thrown through the block

I was planning on a gt3076r for about 300hp. It's possible, but i changed my goals and the t3/t04e would be more efficient at lower boost levels. Not to mention its about $400 less. Good luck with it. Just to give you an idea of what the gt40 is capable off...TonyTheTiger laid down 520 whp in his camry with it

Wow... thats really good.. happen to know what size injectors he was running.. I'd like to run 400cc's

by **1gSE** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 5:59 pm

not sure, something massive though lol. I emailed rc engineering a while back and they do have injectors that will work on the 1mz. From what i've seen, most of the s/c guys here some to run pretty rich and have some good numbers with n/a supra injectors and a walbro 190

cool... hey i was looking at you car domain page and I noticed that you have the same short ram intake that i have. Does it give you any problems? My engine is running rich because the intake tubing is 3" in diameter.. much larger than stock. It messes with the maf sensor.

by **1gSE** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:58 pm

most engines tend to run rich from the factory. I couldn't tell you if it's any different than stock since it was on there when i bought the car. The only problem i had was it slipped off the throttle body one day and almost left me stuck in middle of an intersection :lol:
