) No dry sump for the moment as it's a "street car"
I'm using a Meziere 55gal remote pump because the radiator is going under the the floor of the trunk
It should make around 1500rwhp on pump gas, 98 octane premium here in Aus

I have watched some of the most insanely powered vehicles from Australia...
I started watching a bit of a failed attempt by a guy with a hyabusa powered golf cart that could not get it to start ding the donuts because it would just bulldoze the front tires.
The power levels you guys come up with is just insane, that's all.
And yeah, when NRE released those symmetrical turbo kits, they got hammered by guys wanting sets of them.
They are the ONLY company to even try to engineer a reverse rotation turbo that I have heard of. And now they
have a patent on them, so if anyone else produces them, they have to pay NRE royalties on the design.

NRE's turbo's are made by Turbonetics They are basically left and right hand GTK850's
The problem with NRE is the needed to get the next customer in to pay for the last one's parts!I was told all sorts of BS every week for 11 months when I rang to find out where my turbo's were The finally told me it was cash flow issues!

Its hard to believe NRE is having cash flow problems. The cost of their turbo motors are simply STUPID.

That's the original master cylinder and it's not staying.
The booster and master cylinder are mounted under the dash so I could get a clean look in the engine bay.
Take a closer look at the brakes, Front rotors are full floating 355mm x 32mm with 6 spot calipers and the rears are full floating 330mm x 32mm with 4 spot calipers
