350whp and I will EASILY be under 11s...but we'll see. But to everyones luck, they'll probably ban this screenname as well, even though I posted like 7 times in a year, and then someone will forward all the pictures and nobody will ever be able to answer anything, everyone just keeps guessing, blah blah blah, like it's always been.

BTW, it's a frankenstein engine so you're gunna be guessing anyway...lol

lots of custom frame work = necessary

[oh, and its a 3.0 liter]
when you have a fwd car turned rwd car look at what the drag cars look like. none are full cars all are tube frame fiberglass bodied cars. and changing a frame costs a lot more than making a tube frame.
sorry about the 3.1 i was thinking of the old truck v6. wanna make yer solara fast? screw all the hard 2jz work get the new 3.5 from the avalon. 280hp 260 torque.

I know you asked about comparing the xA and teg, but I would take a second look at what you have. 200 hp stock with an option to have a TRD supercharger that the toyota dealer will install, has a 12month warranty, is 50 state legal, and will bring you into the 14's in the quarter mile with just 4psi of boost. I say what you could potentially have is a sleeper. There is aftermarket support too, just not as much as an integra. But there are plenty of intakes, headers and everything else. JET also will custom program your ECU. Not to mention you would be a little more unique.

It's fun rolling up on other import cars in my friends stock looking solara and then surprizing the heck out of them!
thanks for the ispiration, but lets be a little more realistic

the kazuma sc for the solara (1mz-fe) is not efficient anything above 15 psi.
there are no engine internals besides pistons and c-rods available
its around $2k for the manual conversion

solara sucks .... unless you drop a 2jz and then go on to win your class in the NDRA and NHRA almost every tournament... Efantis brothers and Ara Arslanian are awesome
i want no limits

More realistic? At 4 psi of boost from a factory TRD sc you are getting decent performance. I never said anything about 15 psi. But I'm sure if you made a comprimise somewhere in between you could make it work and have a quick car. I don't remember you mentioning anything about exactly how fast you wanted to go, you just sadi you wanted loudness and to back it up????????????? If you want loud I had a 70cc two stroke motorbike with racing parts built from the crank on up and it was awefull loud and beat more cars 0-60. Try that if you just want loud.

Good luck with your endeavour.
