The sprinter has run a 10.979@131mph at its first run of the night and backed it up with a 10.950@132mph 60fter of 1.79 on pump gas.

That is a bloody good effort I reckon! It is making 370rwhp at the moment.

Does this make it the quickest sprinter in Australia? or is there a toyota powered one that can keep up?

It has made abit more power now and was run on mercury motorsports dyno tonight, and made 402rwhp at the wheels on 16psi this is on pump gas and in full street trim car has been weighed in a 2150pounds. The car is daily driven as you can see and is used for parts pick up and delivery, it retains full interior 15x7 fronts 8" rear wheels and street tyres. It has held up for the pass 6 months with 3 different turbo setups and starts first key everytime and is one of the most reliable cars which has been owned by the owner.
Different strokes for different folks, it may not be a cup of tea for some, but it was an easy way to achieve alot of power and torque rather building a 4age/gze etc as the owner previous owned a CA18det sprinter and wanted something abit more powerful out of the box. There has been alot of custom fabriaction for mounting the motor/drive line and the rear end has been tricked up to a single piece tail shaft into a shortened diff which has been made to handle 500+hp. The car was specifically not built for drag or drift or show as you can see by the dings and crappy faded paint, so don't get me wrong. The car was built at home by the owner and was built on a budget for being totally original, something fun to drive and track car on special events.
There has definately been alot of criticism by true sprinter/levin/trueno enthusiast as they may hate this idea out of the sheer fact it is considered "cheating, or ruining a cult car by transplanting something not toyota". But it has achieved so much for what it is, I am not the owner of the vehicle but a close friend of the owner that has seen the progress of the build of the car. So I have seen it turn from a 4ac slug into a 10 second daily driven legal street car, if you don't like the idea of the conversion, you have got to give credit for a guy that has opted to try something different. Hopefully in the next 6months a new project sprinter will be let loose on street, with hopefully over 600hp@wheels, mid mounted and 2 speed power glide for track and a stick for the street.....
