Heres something for you guys tell me what do you think, my old Switzer S2 turbo broke down so i bought a new one. So why buy something smaller than the old one? The old one could produce 420hp max, my new holset can produce ~600hp. It required some serious mods to fit but me and my mate got it there and working, and boy does it haul ass. Have a look for yourself!

**** me, that thing\'s gigantic.  What rpm are you making workable boost?

[TurboPower]

Around 3500rpm and at 4000-4500rpm it reaaaaaaaaaaaaally kicks in. The turbo is made to whitstand 2.5bar of boost and im running 0.9bar but planning to lift it to 1.3b with the new injectors+engine management system. With this turbo a ca18det produced 349Kw at 1.5bar of boost.

if I decide to turn my S12 into a drag car, I have a contender for choice of turbo.

The rims on the front are Volk Mesh 17x7, the rear are Line-A-Sport 17x8 (but they look close don;t they )

[Kilowatt]

This is my car. i have spent most of the time on the looks of the engine so far... but i have done some thing to the exterior too like polishing the original rims. well, you can see yourself.

Right click, save as!  What kind of rims are those, I love it!!!   :banger:  :headbang:

Do you have a full set?

they we\'re part of a full set. they were the only two that had useable tyres on them.

i\'ve since gotten rid of them, but i know where they are, and i\'ve asked the guy for them back. i want to put them on a Datto 240K (C110 Skyline) project i\'m dreaming up.

i\'d still have them if they were 15\'s or 16\'s. they sat an inch out of the rear gaurds, and used 205/60/13 tyres on them [[[ expensive.

[bizzaro]

Good lawd S12psi, those rims are hawt!
Is there a big price difference between the volks and the line-a\'s?
