Alternative turbo Kit?

So you want a hairdryer on your FTO? Or do you already have a hairdryer in it? This is the section for it. All other big power projects & forced induction goes here too.

Alternative turbo Kit?

Post by Black_FTOGPX »

Found this, looks like RPW are not the only ones looking into turbo kits for FTO's

Turbo

Post by markyboy »

That company who have this car are 20mins from me by car.They are very well known bull-sh**ters and not to be trusted.The bought this car at aution in Japan and have of the FTO community over here saw it advertised as a turbo FTO at the time with the mods listed.The car then comes over here and this company have told everyone they developed it themselves.Made allot of people unhappy.The dont and wont have a turbo conversion ready for the FTO themselves.The car has quite a bit of NOS in it ansd is quoting big power but it has never actually run or proved its figures where they run all the other demo cars at all the track days.So dont get your hopes up about another conversion.... :roll: :roll:

Yup as markyboy said, company just import the cars then claim them as their own. All they usually do is add stickers, leather seats and NOS. The Nitrous systems being the only work they do themselves.

They also have a turbo integra bought in from japan and passed off as their own amongst others.

Their new 2004 demo supra is really good though as ive seen all the details of the car from when it was up for sale in Japan :roll:
