Has anyone tried the manifold and turbo setup from either the mr2 turbo or gt4 on a Beams head? I've got parts knocking about at home from other cars and from work so rather than buy a full kit im looking to put one together myself.
Id basically be looking be looking to run a standard ct26 (from mr2 turbo) at around half a bar just to give the altezza a but more oomph. Although i love revvy nature of the engine im finding it just a bit too peaky for drifting so looking for more midrange. When i built my s14 engine i raised compression but kept boost fairly low making the engine nice and responsive, im looking for the same sort of thing so a 9:1 compression ratio (is there a head gasket available??) with low boost to make around 250-270bhp using an emanage or something along those lines.
Anyone else done anything similar??
Cheers

Cheers lads. I didnt realise exactly how soft these cars are! Its like driving a bus!! On the case thou so fingers crossed i'll get some stuff sorted out quickly. It seems suspension parts arent quite as easily available as for other jap cars thou.

Thanks for the replies. Yes they areindeed ultralites. I've been told the exhaust is an RSR one but until i stick my head underneath for a good look im not sure.
Now for the important questions. Does anyone drift an Altezza? If so what sort of modifications have you found the most improvement? I know what worked on my s14 and my ae86 but just wondering if theres anything different on these cars?

Picked this up yesterday. Its a manual rs200. Pretty standard apart from the wheels and an exhaust.
Had been thinking about an altezza for a while and am pretty impressed. Its different to other cars ive had (mainly drift cars) but im sure a set of coilovers and a 2 way will give it a bit more feel.
Anyway here are the pics:
