Hi all, thought i'd post a few pics of my current build project, let me know what you think but please be gentle with me as it's a budget build. The car is being built to enter into the HKS Japanese drag series in the factory modified class and should eventually make around 950 hp. G.

As you can tell from the Pictures i've used a 2JZ from a Lexus import as my base engine, fitted it with forged pistons, H section con rods, race bearings & crank scraper while upstairs there are 272deg cams, modified inlet plenum with 90mm throttle body and a 80mm Turbo on a twin wastegated turbo manifold. Yes i expect to be at the Jap show next year if things go well. I will try to get more pics up when I can. G.

Due to the busy nature of work, the car car taken alot longer to do than I had intended while also costing more than planed (i'm sure some of you know this feeling!). The celica now runs and will be going onto our dyno shortly to extract the horspower required !! Here are a couple of current pics, still much to do.

Very impressive times. As you've said in the past it's took longer and cost more than anticipated but I'm sure you're pleased with the results.

It'll go alot faster than that, I was just getting used to the car and only running half of full boost and no nitrous!
But yes i'm please it works if nothing else, I am also on the look out for another one as I'm thing about building for the street class. I would love to be able to drive one on the street!
If anyone knows of anthing please let me know.
