S2K1

The tranny is strong on these, but my friend just blew out her rear axles lauching her STi! I think the diff broke too, and her car is completely stock.

I will bet that if tuned properly that thing will put down some staggering numbers. I would invest in a lot of heat wrap for that turbo though. Especially because the hot side is so exposed.

I know which MR2 you're talking about. It was a setup developed by HKS called a "TwinCharger" for the 1st-generation MR2. Sport Compact Car did an article on it back in the day. Here's a link to that same car from the article: http://www2.msstate.edu/~sgn1/MR2/mod/gsa.htm

Later, HKS prototyped another TwinCharger kit for the 3rd-generation Integra (it was on the burgundy-colored Meguiars/HKS sponsored Integra). Hmm, it must've cost a lot or did very little since it never made it out of the prototype stage.

BTW, that setup on the STi looks like a tuning nightmare. But I'm sure if enough time (and a whole lotta $$$) is put into it, that STi could be a beast.

the downpipe is right by the brake lines and the bias valve, SWEET! Boiled brake fluid anyone?

Does anyone remember the Nissan Micra (aka Nissan March) Super Turbo? It was turbocharged and intercooled, 900 cc's of boosted fury.

There was also a similar compound fi article in Turbo mag on a second gen MR2. They explained the whole thing and it really does make sense.

Does anyone know whatever happened to this?

Ya I've seen this guy at Pavilions before. It is kinda pointless, but I guess he can say he's the only one that has an STI like that.
