how much power this thing got again :?:

nitrous :twisted: there's an idea :lol: :lol: summat like 320bhp standard - even with the single turbo i'll not touch the ecu or the boost etc. untill ive run it for a bit - iron'd out any problems :)

I'm sure you could countersink the pulley and use a flush fitting Alen Key bolt :?:

might be able to do something like that :idea: - i was having a quick look at the supra one today it's different and it looks a bit easier to mod - basically its got not centre bolt and a spigot for a mechanical fan which i could face off completly :D

but i'm gonna ignore the pump and pipe problems for now - 1st get it all set in position where it is (except exactly right) then deal with them at a later date - the worst case if i was unable to mod the waterpump pulley i could fit an electric pump :D

tramp :shock: that was 2 years ago - since i've fitted the anti-tramp bars i've eliminated that :mrgreen: also ive got the lsd - that helped when powering out of corners 8) just get mental wheelspin now :roll: :lol: but the auto box should help a bit :D
