D,

Sorry mate, thought I better not take over that other thread. Are you serious about Turboing the swift?

I almost considered ploughing lots of cash into mine when I was reading that stuff. But as Jeff correctly stated ... "how are you gonna get the power to the road". Good point :(

Their "high performance" *cough* yeah right *cough* HT leads ar only $68 (£43) thats cheaper than the standard ones from Suzuki. Hmmm I need some more as well :)

Perhaps JohnW could help to explain how a flyweight fwd car can get a lot of power down (remember his mad Micra):

LSD would be a good starting point I guess (unless it has one as std?) :)

Hmm thats a good point, thanks Jeff :)

Nah it doesn't have an LSD as standard although I know a man to get them from for fairly cheap :D

It's a bit of a handful but not as unmanageable as you may think and it hasn't got the LSD fitted yet. Clive at RC did an excellent job of mapping it with an AVC-R so boost is brought in progressively throughout the rev range in first and second gears.

I have a rally spec LSD sat in the garage waiting to go in, but I need to work out what to do with the speedo drive because it won't physically fit back in the gearbox with the diff in. Guess I need to fit a magnetic pickup on a driveshaft and fit a new electronic speedo, but I need to feed the speed signal into the ECU aswell. I wanted to keep the interior looking standard though as the car is a bit of a "sleeper" ;) . Any help on this would be greatly appreciated :) .

I've also got a shed load of Nismo and Cusco suspension goodies on order which should strengthen the front end up even more.

You'll need DivX and the MP3 codec installed.

I get both vid and sound on my *cough* work *cough* machine.

Try installing this codec pack ...

Am I serious?

I'm ALWAYS serious :D

I'm a sucker for punishment, here's me trying to downsize my outgoings, haven't even sold the S13 yet, and I'm looking at turbo kits. ROFL :D

Sadly, one thing is for sure. I'm not declaring a bloody thing. :(

We'll see, but yeah, the idea of it, appeals greatly :)

Looking forward to seeing yours tommorrow, and having a poke about :)

But yeah, how's this for a dream..

White Swift.. Black Racing Pro N1 Black 15" alloys.. slight tint on windows.. a DORI-CAR and SXOC.COM sticker in the back.. and the ability to destroy most 200SX's on the road?.
