Pistons , cams , ARP bolt kits etc etc are all off the shelf available....if you want to go that way

Haltech controller....not expensive at all....besides we have done all the R and D and piping on the demo one and you will be able to buy the parts off the RCR shelf....

I will post some pics of all the plumbing on the shop car tomorrow........very clean and balanced looking...
Fran - I had a feeling I should just give you a call. With the Dart engine swap you just did for the car I wasn't sure if you would be developing the 1UZFE installation any further - I should have known better! So, I can buy the turbos, piping and controller from you when I buy the kit? Fantastic! I'd love to see the photos of the plumbed set-up. When I visited you had the turbos installed but nothing was plumbed up. What about the dual port intake manifold?

Also have a look on this web site, they do all sorts of supercharger kits, they also build a Mazda Mx5 convertible with a V8 lexus (and have a supercharged version available) Talk to Steve Marriott there, he knows his stuff, though he's a hard man to track down.

Russell - Actually, I've been in email contact with Bullet - they can provide a SC with a programed Autronic controller but the cost is somewhat high at $8800 US.
