hopefully I'll have my S12 ready for Jap Show, but I'm expecting high 14's

Any less than that and I'll be happy.

But I don't have NOS or any of that nonsense. Just a normal S12, with a few little tweaks, courtesy of the (no more I believe) Silvia engineering

I think the best I managed was a 14.6 or 14.7 so good luck. It's a lot harder than it seems.

[zxocmars]

So that's the high 14's sorted then

[zxocmars]

I plan to do a few runs on low boost and see how it goes, then up the boost and see what happens

Hopefully, I won't blow it, as I will still need to get home.

What's it had done to it?

Not entirely sure to be honest, as most of the mods were done before I got it

But it has FMC, now has full stainless 2.5" zorst straight through, electronic variable boost, (which scared the Bejeesus out of em the first time I hit the switch _ wheelspin on a motorway entry in 3rd does that )

Allegedly it has upwards of 225BHP on high boost. But I will need to get it rollered to prove that, of course

On a T2 turbo?

[zxocmars]

as far as in know the tubby has been upgraded, although to what I don't know.

The engine was built with forged internals by Silvia Engineering, when they were still going, and fitted by Mark Raynor (don't know whether you know him or not)

But as I say, all this is advised to me by the previous owner, how much is true I don't know, as it has never hit a track since I've had it due to MOT prep work, and so many other cars. The only time I've actually driven it was the day that I bought it, whcih also happened to be the day the MOT expired.

I guess only time will tell. Perhaps you would like to take a look at it and give me your opinion sometime????

Hopefully be there for the weekend, but may not even make Japshow, depends on finance and other issues.

Japshow finale for sure

I pretty much aim to get there as soon as the bitch has MOT/Tax/insurance
