Ye, but its an entirely different setup but he posted that dyno sheet. He might've used the motor, but none of the piping or anything would mate up. The one there uses an air-water intercooler.

That thing has those same crazy welds as his piping.
I remember him changing his setup too.
We have seen interior shots of his car, does the interior match that we can see?
Here's his photobucket album.

Look at his engine bay in this pic: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y10...n/DSC02912.jpg
Stock paint, stock wheel wells. Nothing about the FRAME is modified.
Now look at the Spin Wheel: http://www.spinwheel.co.kr/bbs/data/upload/Dscn3135.jpg
Different engine bay paint, welded wheel wells for the bigger tires. Also the front of the frame where the hood latches is CUT OUT.

im not saying that the car he posted isnt his... cuz thats almost impossible for me to prove, and it may be... it looks as it was def built perhaps by spinwheel cuz they used the same welding pie cuts... although i really doubt that piping is alum... not many people make FMIC piping out of alum... it could be, but not with pie cuts... cuz welding alum is a b**** and i wouldnt want to pie cut it
what i am saying is that that was not his dyno sheet

I doubt it would be credible..
He could indeed have a turbo car.. no problem..
He could indeed have a 400whp monster.. no problem..
But do you think airborne or anyone else here can tell the difference between 300whp, 400whp, 500whp, 600whp tiburon? I doubt it...
Nothing against airborne... im just saying... Butt dynos arent reliable..
The only way to settle this would be to either confirm its madjohns dyno or have the car dynoed...

LOL
Airborne took his car over there, he's got dyno's of well over 300 WHP on his.
He's stated that John has beat him in races, and David from Kspec has seen his car too.
I think what happened is he put up the wrong Dyno.
Honestly, if you look at his old threads, he put up one saying it was 500+ whp, then we found the dyno and everyone went nuts. I was looking at this all earlier today.
As for aluminum welding, Viper, brotha, you don't have a clue about those crazy bastards over there. They do WIERD SHIT. Seriously. I know it's a PITA to weld that stuff, but they probably enjoy it.
He's posted his # a bunch of times, call him up.
It's a US call.
