Its a T25 turbo off of a 2G DSM.....no intercooler. He could get more than 11-12psi if he really wants to, but the trans being able to handle it is the big "what if" right now.

Remember, this motor in stock trim was rated at 200hp at the crank.......and it's now in a buggy that ways next to nothing! Gonna be a fun summer for sure!

its badass, but kinda slow on the pavement, lets see this baby on the dirt :D

[selser420]

It's not running at full throttle in any of this vid. It has an issue right now that makes it fall on it's face at full throttle/4500rpm. Once that issue gets sorted out we'll post some full throttle runs in it. I know it felt good at 50% throttle and only 7psi when I rode in it!

@miniimoto95 its got an adapter plate.

[miniimoto95]

@dave99gst wow... same bell housing pattern? or did you make an adapter?

imagine a bay window 4g63 :)

Even with b-shafts you need the harmonic dampener. The 4g63 is an externally balanced engine.

It will save your engine.

@madjimms I really need to post a current vid -

[miniimoto95]

this is just bad ass....

what tranny?

This thing would be brutal on the strip.

Considering its weight, drive line and everything it would be an EVO eater for sure.

That solid aluminum crank pulley needs to be replaced with a harmonic damper or equivalent. Torsional vibrations!!!
