Gotta love the NEVO pulleys. 7075-T6 lightweight alloy, hard anodising @ 40 micron and 1/2 the price of a Jap name brand, fantastic! I just couldnt bring myself to snap the timing pointer off otherwise I would have done 164 mm pulley. Do you run an underdrive on the water pump?

Yep heaps of boost, it also runs the smallest SC pulley Motec M4 with data logging etc, HKS cams and extractors mandrell 2 1/2 exh and high flow cat, bigger intercooler etc

Ohhhh Ive never been in a quicker AW11 than mine but yours would leave it for dead. LOVE IT absolutly LOVE IT!!! What spec cams 264 degress or 272? How much extra lift? Still using Air to Air or gone to Water to Air.

i reckon its too cheap, dont except anything less than 12k if its in immaculate condition

You reckon too cheap as well? All my mates are saying the same, your not the first to say so, for such a good example 12K plus shouldn't be out of range...

Well its advertised at $11500, I won't be a dodgy bastard and up the price now but I think I'll stick to $11500 hard. In the end there is nothing wrong with her so I can afford to wait for the right buyer.

But the the power bug has bitten i dont know if i want to go turbo or a bigger aftermarket supercharger (one that runs constantly and good for about 20 PSI
what do you reckon ??

Turbo! A nicly matched turbo with the right trim wheels, A/R's and a low friction rollerbearing center on an equal length mainfold would have to approach supercharger reponse. You just gotta find a turbo guru that has the knowledge to match a turbo correctly. The SC would be nice and theory says they should out perform a turbo but in practise it doesn't seem to be the case. Personally I'm a little bias towards a turbo, not to say I dont love the INSTANT response from the SC. My SC destroys everything Turbo from lights 4WD or not (except yours Smile

). So there is a case for each. In the end if a large SC is capable of moving the CFM required without to much crankshaft drive losses then go for it!

I suppose its also is a question of application, if your gonna go outright power, then turbo without doubt!

Do you have any idea where i could pick up some from ??

Have never seen another set anywhere, it was find of the century in Australia. I have a URL at home for an American importer that sells new Cusco and Tokiko coils for the AW11. Ill get the URL and post it in this thread...

Good luck with the GTR, very nice car, definitely quicker, but will it be as much fun as the MR ??

Mate, this is a question I have grappled with for a while...

Modify (Turbo late model GZ) the MR2 and have an absolute weapon or
Get a GTR and play with that...

As an owner of an AW11 you would know that the AW11 presents a driving experience that is VERY hard to beat. So to answer your question Im not sure if it will be as much fun. The AW11 is a very tough act to follow. I may end up regretting this....
