Your right Ken, it looks like the 1G had some money thrown at it, steam pipe manifold, fresh turbo, nice ecu, coil-packs, plenum, clutch etc... They ran very conservative boost though and I believe that is purely because it wasn't tuned all that well It was running well rich when I got it, but I was told it made 200rwkw at a very modest 12PSI. I never saw the dynograph, but the thing certainly had some poke.
Its running custom coilovers that connect to VS commodore front brakes (which looks huge in the wheel arch!)
I will be converting the car back to 4 stud and likely just running my mesh for the time being. And yes, I certainly want the car finished before I leave the east coast!
As for the Evo, your shit out of luck mate, I sold it about 3 weeks ago! Before you get any ideas your not putting that turbo anywhere near my GT86 either!
On another note, I cleaned up the 1G for sale this afternoon and couldn't believe the engineering on the engine mounts! They are made of 10mm steel and are heavy as F#$*!
Don't worry about the additional weight of the motor, these alone would throw the thing off balance!
Also did I mention I didn't like the red?

You shoulda bought it! Big turbo and all. Just bolt it in and wouldn't have to worry about anything. Change engine number and done.
I hope someone will buy my 1g.....
No idea why they would

Hey Robbo. Long time no speak. Just curious. Are you going to put that turbo on the SR?
EDIT: I see you sold it with the engine
I might actually read something on here again now that you're building again. Will look in from time to time
How have things been anyway?

Hey Matt!
Yeah long time no speak, I saw you in the , good to hear you are still throwing cars around!
Good to hear I have sparked your interest mate, things are kicking along here quite well. Work is busy, but whats new? Looks like work will have me move back over your way around mid year, so you should get to see this thing in action not too long after its done. Downside is you'll probably see my ugly mug again along with it! What are you getting around in these days? I was guessing one of the KE70s?
Pulled some more stuff off the car and got rid of a bit more red today.
The more bare metal I see of this car the happier I am with the purchase
Many thanks to the help from Ant and Moonlight Garage! Talking shit makes the mindless paint scraping less mind numbing, albeit a little less efficient
