  1. Yes, but on a road car can we push a supra to the limits on the streets No. and when we are lucky to find a quite road a Volvo will pop out. So 8sec down the strip is more of a test then the streets.
  2. If you lock a council garage up to the max . It looks like you got something good in there , and if they can't get in it from the door . they will only go in by the roof . no win sometimes chavs .
  3. The stock rods started to bend or de-stroke after many passes with 850rwhp through the auto. I knew this as the boost had to go up to maintain power! When we attempted to go 8's on the same block we turned it up to 950whp and that is when the number 1 rod hit the lower cylinder bore and broke the piston up. Remember this is through a th400!
  4. 8.80 Stock Pistons Hi there it has been a long wait for some decent weather here in Vancouver and we were out testing our inhouse build. Just thought we would share our findings and show the quality of factory toyota parts. We went 9.1 on a stock block and head last year and found that in the quest for an 8 we bent all the connecting rods. So we started with a used jdm engine and just replaced the rods with some scatt h-beams. So all factory equipment was used other than the rods and the cams are BC 264. We had trouble with the th400 and the pass would have been much better if we had all of top gear. You will see in the top end that the trans slipped and hit the limiter. The car held 1000hp through the th400 for 38 passes on the dyno. Also held a 175 shot through first two gears at the track.
  5. My car is stock only had cams , running 1.8 bar no probs. the stock block is strong .
