It’s a built engine so there are quite a few mods, but the “key” components are forged rods, beehive valve springs, larger oil pump gear, and Fluidampr crank pulley. Manifold / header is the HKS EL, going to an HKS front pipe, then a 200-cell high flow cat and single-exit catback. The cat and catback are both custom fabrications by Hayward & Scott in the UK.
Hey man - I have the 4.556 final drive and that’s definitely helped with the longer gear ratios, especially 4th gear and above where they really lose out to the manuals. I think that a 4.8 or 5.1 would be even better for a track only car, I’ve stayed with 4.556 as mine is also used for long motorway journeys. With the 4.556, I still get bogged down (a bit) in 5th and 6th but it keeps cruising rpms (70mph in 6th gear) at around 2,500, which is perfect for longer drives. By contrast the manuals sit at 3,000 rpm when cruising at 70mph, which is a bit too much I feel (especially with an upgraded exhaust), a 4.8 or 5.1 would probably bring you a bit closer to that.
@@3782MC Cheers for the reply, yeah interesting to hear about the rpm difference you get. For me the car would be mainly a daily but taking it out to the mountain roads on the weekend so still unsure if its even worth changing haha
@@JJR227 The stock ratio is 4.1, so I’d say definitely yes - 4.556 worked really well even before my car was supercharged, I feel that a shorter FD on the autos really “wakes up” the car.
@@JJR227 No worries at all - always happy to share info 👍🏼 Mine is a generic kit put together using OEM Toyota parts, I think my drive gear is from a JDM Toyota Crown which uses the same differential unit. I think there are other kits out there that also use OEM components (potentially the Cusco 4.556 kit), so there’s a wide range of choices. I’d certainly recommend those over kits that use straight cut gears, e.g. Weir if the car will be a daily, as the gear whine (albeit cool because “racecar”) can be annoying over time.
can you share what mods you do to the engine beside supercharger.? also exhaust setup from header until muffler

Hey! Awesome work 😁 What are you using for your go pro mount as the angle is great?
Thanks 😊 The main GoPro is mounted to a bar that extends across the B pillar, it’s attached to the seatbelt mounting points on both sides.
Do you feel changing the final drive made a difference? Looking at getting the 6AT 86 but dont want it to feel sluggish

@@3782MC Sounds good, what brand did you get for yours? Sorry to be a pain

nice dude!
What shifter is that?
@@CH-qu1qy it’s a generic round delrin knob, attached to a Raceseng shift knob extender 👍🏼
