Just came upon this on the interwebs.

Looks like the Taco engine has set a new bar!

Nothing important, but some of you building turbo 1GR's might like to see it.

Some guy stuck a Taco engine in a suburota and fed it 2 snails for near 1000 horsey powers.

 

"suburota"

I thought that was really good. Suburota. LOL

 

I really expected to see more of these shenanigans from this forum. Whose the first to step up and give it a try!

 

Stock oil filter on that beast.

 

Turns out people do know OEM is the best filter. Lol

 

Right! Making the forum look like rookies!

I remember reading that, all the confusion over blow off and wastegates lol

 

I heard that he also added an ECT button. Nice post.

 

Crazy what money can do lol!

 

The drivers have their blood type on the seat, interesting.

 

I was just going to go searching for this thread... glad you found it.

 

Just shows what can be done with limitless amounts of time and money and a well equipped shop.

 

I feel like this old picture of my 86, would be a lot easier with over 900 hp!

I am a little jelly

 

There is a Japanese YouTube video of the driver, racing it. Really cool, but mostly the only thing you hear in the cab is the straight cut gear set whining.

His engine is similar to mine.
