    Thats what I thought and it does look like an EG. But On the site it said it was a teg
    360hp on a single turbo is easily obtainable but, a single turbo K series is pretty common now too . . .

    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

      Why must everyone point out a flaws?

      It's a Twin-turbo, K20 swapped, JDM Integra front end swapped EG hatch for pete's sake!

      I mean shit, you can start pointing out flaws once you've built something equally as time intensive and unique.

        I took one look at this car and immediately thought, "This guy is trying to hard". To me it seems like he is trying so hard to be different, he has the 'Im the first guy to do it" mentality. In my eyes he crossed the line from being creative and trying to hard. Yes alot of time and effort was put into this car, and I can respect the workmanship and talent that was used to create it, but it seems like he went too wild with everything. IMO

          It's different. The guy went through pains to do something unique, and I think he pulled it off pretty well. It's not perfect, but NO car is perfect... Joey should've done what most show-car photographers do... shoot it in a way that hides the flaws!

          Regardless, I like it. I wouldn't do ANY of it myself... but I can appreciate and admire what has been done.

                i just did, i saw the line going into where the top hat would be.

                i see the scratches on the valve cover, and the dirt under the spark plug cover and that makes me glad to see... it actually gets driven and worked on. fuck the haters

                  I agree. If it's driven, I respect it FAR more than a trailer queen. I don't care how nice your car is. If it isn't driven like a car, it's NOT a car!

                          Eh, it depends... Each turbo is only powered by 2 cylinders.

                          Most cars that come stock with twin turbos are "upgraded" to a single turbo for performance purposes.

                          This car is well designed, but the majority of the design makes no sense for anything but show. A 2.0L 4 cylinder doesn't need two turbos. Air-ride on a turbo car is unnecessary weight, and really not performance-oriented.

                          It's a show car that's probably a blast to drive. It's not much good for performance in any way, as far as real racing goes... but it's fantastic for popping the hood (or not!) and showing off all the unique stuff. This car has a TON of unique things done to it, and it's done in a coherent manner. It's a winner in my book.

                              Yep. Twin turbo 4 cylinders are about as stupid as K swaps.

                              Lets put tons of money into something that will yield little power!

                                As a show car, that thing has PLENTY of power.
