I will not have the car ready by then.
I feel like ripping the engine out getting some top quality internals, selling the twin pipes and getting a single turbo and build the whole thing myself. (which means getting a loan to do all the work) *edit* and piss off the auto so I don't have to piggyback a computer and just get a good one to start with. May as well just get a bloody new corona with a normal dash and put all my bits into it while I am at it.
It just pisses me off so much that I didn't even get to drive the thing before it fucking blew up. I think the mechanic must have been giving it a very hard time during testing as we all know that 1jz have very strong internals and to break them running 11psi is quite strange IMO.
I have had my GF's dad looking over it all day and we found that cylinder2 was at 125 psi and 6 was at 175psi and the rest at 200psi. So there is something going on there. He thought it could be big end bearing. We drove it home from the workshop as it is already stuffed so whatever is broken is going to need replacing anyway. The squealing noise got really loud and then suddenly stopped and also the tapping noise changed note as we were driving a little later.
He knows some very smart fellas who build big HP engines and not just Supercharged outlaw engines but also a fella who has a low 9 second escort and he said that he will see if he can help me do the rebuild etc.
