Yeah, car is a track car, weighs stuff all! Just two seats, roll cage and the engine!

Car did run 10.9 though... :D

You mean a drag car, track cars go around corners

anyone really not keen on this?

200kW at the wheels is definately achievable with a stock VR4 engine. I have seen 176kW at 16 psi with one of my EVO3 big16G turbo's, the dyno sheet is on my web site.
We had a guy recently make 205kW at 17 psi with one of my EVO3 20G turbo's.
Be aware exhaust starts to get critical around this power level you need a good 3" system. Also a good cooler and pipe work.

sounds good mate i'll be taking one of those two turbos off you're hands as it all comes together! :D :D :D

i have a 2.5" mandrel system on it now, no cat or muffler, is this still too restrictive?

also will need to get a high mount manifold made as the stock position is almost touching the steering box already, let alone a big 16 or 20g!

do you know anyone or a place who will fabricate one to suit the flange of the 16 or 20g?

No, I mean track car! If it was setup as a drag car it would go close to under 10 sec! That's why the car is labeled "Cons Circuit Car" on the website.

I am using an e6x. You don’t need more for your engine. I am making 218 bhp on a stock engine with mpi and dual coils waste spark and 14psi of boost. The car runs great for over of 4 years now.

You wont be disappointed with the Haltech.

If you go on the Haltech site, go to dealers, click on Hitman, and you will see he has an area there where you can download maps. I think you will fine he has one for VR4 or Evo or something. Would be a good place to start your tuning with.

Cheers

Most ECU's will do the job. choosing the tuner to use is the hard one!
