Wow. Now this is a quote

"The tranny will probably **** a brick in less than 10,000 miles anyway. I expect to cut that in half now. So, 5,000 miles.
I have found three maximas that are $200 a piece. I figure I will just buy them and swap the transmissions as I eat them.
That will give me plenty of practice, and I can start the teardown of the block for my second iteration of this maxima. The future plan is a built bottom end, a port and polish of the head, new/upgraded valves and springs, and then real turbos pushing 18psi. This would also be with a 5spd swap and a limited slip dif."

It's a repost, but never-the-less a unique custom job.

Im wondering, is he gonna stick the FrontmountIntake box out the window while he drives? lol
This just goes to show what your imagination can come up with when you ain't got much.
This guy is foolish though, talking about buying 3 diff. maximas for 200 each then re-doing the turbo set-up he already has....why didnt he just save his money and do it the right way the first time.
now he's gonna end up spending more money doing it a second time.

i love stupid people..they make the mistakes, and i learn from them so i dont make those same mistakes. lol

For all of you guys wanting to Twin Turbo your SC400...Here is the simple and easy solution...Just put the turbos and the exhausts inside the cabin... Now why didn't I think of that??? That gives so much more room to place all the components...And why worry about possible exhaust leaks, or extreme heat, just keep the windows open, and install an oscillating fan inside the cabin to blow it all out of the cabin. And, if you've got a hot date...No problemo...Just sit her above one of those turbos, she'll be all juiced up and ready to go...Not!!

Just poking a little fun at this one...
