EVL WAGN Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Not sure if this should be in here or in the off topic section so if it needs to be moved...giver hell mods. Back story is that this is one of my buddies cars here in Windsor. The owner is the bigger guy on the left in the last pic. His name is Ben Haker and the guy on the right is our local legend here in town simply known as "turbo" Tom. He is guy that did the fmic install for TBM's (Kemal) S70T5M. The guy is simply a genius with cars...as well as being an amazing fabricator. Read and enjoy...I was at the shop today and the turbo is incredible up close and personal...lol. Crazy Awesomeness!!!

Wagoneer855 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 That's pretty cool! Can I be the downer in this thread and ask why? I mean, the direct injection 4 cyl turbos that the GXP soltice's come with are awesome little engines and are capable of huge numbers without cracking it open and swapping internals. I'm sure it's capable of numbers that the chassis can't keep up with anyways. But I guess for the sake of doing it and for the shock factor it's still pretty cool. It seems to be the trend anyways for people to put SR20's and 2JZ-GTE's in vehicles they shouldn't belong in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one was originally the turbo version as well. The engine is out of Tom's 240 and when it was last on the dyno...it put down somewhere just south of the 800hp range...lol. This Solstice is going to be completely insane when finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCP Euro Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I like the 245 with the 2JZ engine better. No one would see that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 *takes notes for future project* I know about Justin's Secret Santa gift to you, but I still don't think you can't fit a 2JZ "down there" yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
