Yea, that kit looks phat.

 

right on

 

Does anyone else here know that 104-octane will not make your car go any faster/better/more efficient??? 104 octane benefits 104-octane based engines and 104-octane based engines only!

Only when you have extremely, unnaturally high compression will 104 help your car (IE: supercharged and turbocharged cars). If you're buying 104-octane, you'd better be running 15+ psi of boost. The highest you should ever buy for an NA GS is 93-octane. The higher the octane, the more combustion-retarding additives they're putting in the fuel. I feel like we need a FAQ on Club Lexus to teach people these things.

Isn't that a 2JZ-GE engine? For $10,000, that thing should be producing a lot more than 535hps . 535 seems kind of conservative. 446hps is an impressive net for an auto though. It is an auto right? The kit is obscene, that car would have looked so much better with stock ground effects.

EDIT: Just caught the part about the single T04 turbo, nevermind, the power matches up. Must be a light shot of nitrous.

 

He is on CL , his name is buckwild . He just doesn't post much . I finally checked my pics from HIN and found his site .

For more info , www.teamjinsoku.com .

I should have stayed till the end of the show , maybe he would have gave me a test drive in it .

 

i saw NOS... and then i cried

 

If I were in Buckwild's shoes, I would take off all the stickers, ugly body kit, and make that ride a sleeper/WS6-eater!!!

No those are Blitz z2's.

 

crybaby lol j/k man.

Well I think the NOS is there to compensate for the turbo lag at low ends. This is been popular in Japan since beginning of 2002, using NOS to make up for the slow launch on larger turbo cars.

But looking at the bodykit, I think he's just trying to throw everything on it

Crux kit is not my taste. What's more pathetic is, there are KNOCK-OFFS of this!

 

That kit is way too extreme for a GS. It belongs on a neon or something along that line. Just my opinion.

 

im curious as to how much 104 octane would be to the gallon... any guesses/knows?

 

Your crazy..... That kit is Butt.......

 

If he is making 446RWHP on NOS, he probably does not have a laggy single. A laggy single would be something like a T51R, T88H, or other ones. If he put that in, it would most likely be a mistake. He would only have 1-1.5K RPM range for full boost. All the laggy singles (spooling at upwards of 4500-5000RPM) would easily produce HP in excess of 600RWHP, provided they are accompanied by 600cc+ injectors.

My guess is that he decided to go with a quicker spooling turbo which can still probably dish out over 500RWHP. The NOS is probably there for extra HP rather than early spool. This is of course my guess.

 

i think the kit is nice but the stickers arent... to tell you the truth, i think anything with more than 400hp is nice, whether it has 2 inch rims or 22 in rims... im crazy, i know.

 

so you guys are saying that this doesnt look good to you, I think it looks real nice on black, but I do admit that it doesnt look good on silver

byt the way this is the real kit not the VIS

 

Yes Biggie - definitely looks better on a black car.
