Nice ride Bro', Welcome to CL.

Btw, how much more hp/tq are you expecting with the single turbo set up.

nice car bro.....I gotta ask tho since no one else has....


why did you repaint the whole car when it's only a 2002???

did FL bake the crap outta it or did you just repaint the kit and blend upwards??

Welcome to CL!!!!

That is one sweet ride you have there - 463 RWHP!!!! I like the rims and body kit other than the front part of the kit.

I can only imagine what that must feel like. The most powerful car I have driven was a 01 E55 AMG and that car was just plain insane - almost 400 lb ft of TQ!

It is so cool to see a newbee on CL that is NOT a newbee at modding a GS!!!! This is what I call the real deal - engine swap!!!!

Welcome Kinda curious, I don't recalling your other 16 posts???

Anyways, that is one bad-*** GS and especially for representing us GS3 guys.
You mentioned that the tranny won't be able to handle over 500hp and romin mentioned 600 on a single turbo, is this possible? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to engine/tranny.

And I love the 2nd bodykit with rims...not to say the 1st is a or anything.

The next step is to single turbo but I can't proceed until I get my hands on a FCON VPRO WITH software. You probably have it easy in your area with plenty of HKS pro tuners but here on the East coast of the US, there aren't any and I sure am not going to ship my car over to the West coast to get it tuned...Oh well...may be one day
Very nice setup, have you spoken to Lance at Toyomoto about your future plans, what about your current setup, any tuning issues?

Awesome car man.
Welcome to the club.

As for your engine management, motec and pectel both make a management system that can control the vvti.

With the SP67, I should see around 600rwhp. At this point I am not even sure that's the turbo I am going to use as I have also been looking at the SP88 and the 3.44L stroker kit which should be good for over 1200rwhp but that would require a complete rebuild of the motor. So, i am not sure which way I will go...I am such a flip flopper....LOL
