Aaaah kids these days, don't remember their elders

Indeed, 4A-GZE swap, supercharger changed to a turbo, gutted interior...

Haha, being over 50, I haven't been called a kid in quite some time, but I'll take it.

That is a very impressive setup. I watched a couple of your videos. I did a quick wiki search on the 4A-GZE engine. 300 whp must be absoultely insane. I haven't yet searched, but do you have a build thread on here? I was going to ask you about the technicalities of your turbo set up as it's something that interests me, but your exhaust manifold is on the front as opposed to the back, unlike my 2ZR. I have yet to establish if a turbo/manifold - even a small one, such as a T25 - would have head to firewall clearance in a 2zr powered hatch.

I actually have yet to get it properly dynoed, so it's a butt-dyno figure from friends who are more used to fast cars Truthfully I think it's more like 200-220... Now that it's running fairly reliably, I should head to a local dyno place...

No single build thread per-se, just a few updates here and there. The car was done at a local garage, and at the time I was overloaded with work so got updates few and far between. It's an IHI turbo off an older Subaru (a lot of the parts were secondhand, not a huge budget for this!)

And yes, it was a super tight fit, they had to cut down the frame rails a bit just to get the gearbox to fit. And one reason we dropped the supercharger, it just would not physically fit.

Adding a few build pics so you can see how it was shoehorned
