2.5L in a Falcon though?

A mild 4.0 would be significantly down on the kw, but would kill it with fat torque.

Not saying that that EB wouldn't go, I reckon it's awesome, thumbs up to the seller/builder!

Blown 2.5L will have more torque everywhere than an atmo 4.0L if set up correctly.

A low cost ($6k) turbo setup on the 4.0 (220rwkw) would munch it though

Sorry, I meant a blown 4.0 (I should've specified that this was what I meant)

But yeah, the turbo 2.5 would have a lot more torque than the atmo 4.0.

Seriously though, if that pulled up next to you at the lights, what would you be thinking???

15secs after the green you would feel ashamed.. bloody sleepers.

A 2JZ would be better (3L out of the Supra), fortuanatly it will all just bolt in where the 1JZ is.

Im not too sure on the cooling system they have rigged up, looks like an old style radiator, which doesnt even look straight. A bigger intercooler wouldnt hurt either.
Still with a couple more grand thrown at it, it would make a nice car.

Hell if I didnt already have similar plans for a turbo on my ED I would be tempted to buy it.
