The article says he's the owner of SPI Engineering and he's from NY..
Just wondering if he was a .net member.. Article says, @18ps, 388.1 hp/360.1lb of torque..
Looks nice, the article doesn't go too much into depth like GTE's article. It says the original motor was taken out and disassembled, TT rods and pistons were used. It states the top-end was not touched. SPI custom made the kit...

Yep....thats Mike alright...he had the car at HIN in Philly in 2003....I took more pics from back in June 2003 @ the Supra Dyno Challenge

WOW twin turbo IS

 

[davefisher]

i THOUGHT i saw that too. wicked. :chill:

 

[wdskuk]

what kind turbos are they

 

[SophieSleeps]

WOW what?

It's a twin turbo producing 388whp and 360 ft/lbs of torque. At 18psi?

Cool that it's turbo'd...but better numbers please.

dude, those are SMALL turbo's...and still on stock 5 speed, lowered compression with TT internals...he's also currently programing the PHR MAP sensor going to tune it more to get over the 400 mark.....he personally told me that he didnt want to make anymore then 400 rwhp, that was enough for him....

 

[BUTRBALL12]

yeah that car isnt the beast that he can make it......just yet

Ah. I see. Then he's not going for show car...he's going for a street machine. Cool. Props to him.

 

[tsopranoMB]

he has no intention of doing so, and in fact once he gets it tuned more in the next month or so, he's gonna end up doing something totally different, cant really discuss it on here, I'll tell ya privately Dave.. :wink:

well, its a mix of both, street and show...and nothing too extreme....but he doesnt intend to hold onto the car too much longer... SPI already has a Supra thats over 800rwhp....

 

[turnip]

Its about time. I think they took pictures for this story a long time ago.

 

[lilaznboi]

i would like to see the dyno

 

[vboy418]

damn I would love to see that in person... sweet ride!!!

 

[Wino_II]

:crazy: how they fit two turbos in there with all that piping and such. wow...good work!

 

[paluch2002]

internaly gated turbos. not my cup of tea, but i guess they were limited on space.

 

[tsopranoMB]

Ray, those are VERY small turbo's...and Mike personally told me he only wanted to get 400rwhp out of it, nothing more....he was pleased with that number...he did it to be unique instead of just using a bigger single...just a clarrification from what he told me so people understand why he did it

I think it's pretty cool. It's one of the very few (if not the only) IS300's using a twin-turbo system on a 2JZ-GE.
