Hux Racing in the US maks the adapters to use those rotors and calipers. http://huxracingusa.com/huxweb.htm
$180 USD for the front set.

kameleon: Yes the Supra logo will be removed. I guess the Phoenix Power thing is true, they did say it was a budget brake upgrade.

The wheels will come sooner rather than later man.

-Totenkopf-: Yes they do weigh a bit but I'll see how I go. I tend to change my mind very easily and each to their own right?

mjbro10: CE28n wheels are one of the rims in bronze is something I have in mind.

greddy_es: Ha ha yes, I'm trying to do my part. Thanks RE: clutch. I've been told it's a good clutch.

MR2QIK: I've always liked TE37s and the time attack versions give it that modern look. Too many wheels to choose from!

Mrskylighter: I got in contact with Hux Racing a few weeks ago. Unfortunately their kit is only for Wilwood calipers using Supra rotors.

REDMR2: Thanks Derek. You know if you decide to keep it, you can always do a conversion. Good luck with the sale.

morris: Ha ha thanks man. I'll let you know IF I ever think about selling, although I really don't see it happening

ToyMota: I still like TE37's and a lot of people have replicas not genuine TE37's.

dez: Wanna sell yours? [:p]

dasic1: Customs would love us!

Spent yesterday at Anson Auto removing the BLITZ K1-380V turbo and installing the Power Enterprise (PE1919T) turbo. I'd like to thank Trav kameleon for helping me. In actual fact, he did most of the work and Huey for letting me use his hoist and his tools for the day.

I also got a set of adjustable cam gears from IDB (Ian) today.

Pictures below:

PE1919T INSTALLED

evl_132: Thanks Adrian. Initial impressions are based on the PE1919T without a tune and running 1.0bar (I ran 1.3bar on the K1-380V) of boost was noticably more lag but the turbo feels and sounds more aggressive.

kameleon: Yeah man, I'd be interested as to how much it makes after some cams, and W2A setup.

Mrskylighter: I guess the benefits the PE1919T has over the K1-380V are:

1. Rated at 400PS compared to the BLITZ K1-380V's 380PS rating
2. More "aggressive" turbo
3. Rarer than the BLITZ K1-380V
4. Big single swing valve whereas the K1-380V uses a small twin swing valve (CT-26/20b)
5. Claimed to be the best performance and response in its size and class

I can't really comment on the lag too much as the car is not tuned for the PE1919T. But I did notice a little bit more lag compared to the K1-380V.

dylmrt: Ha-ha thanks man. I do plan to get some wheels soon. I just need to keep looking. By the way thanks for help on Sunday.

stuka: Thanks Pat. I'll get the car tuned at Chasers but I'll hold off on the tune until I get my cams, valve springs and water to air setup. Not to mention the CUSCO RS 1.5 way L.S.D. and the ORC 400D clutch which still needs to be installed. Unfortunately I can't make it to Haunted Hills on Sunday as I'll be interstate.
