A friend did a ride along with me and then made a sweet vid with the footage.

Dynoed the truck with the nicer weather and ended up with 525 rwhp and 409 ft/lb tq at 24.5psi and 488whp 369 ft/lb on low boost @ 19.5 psi

Made some freeway pulls after the dyno. Tires and road was cold so I was not able to get traction so it was not pulling as hard as it should, but still feels good spinning or not!

A little cold for my tires, but still did pretty good at the autocross today.

Freeway rolls with a 61mm turbo civic

I like!

These videos are awesome! keep em coming

Thanks!

Total sleeper

Love that truck...wonderful!

Been watching all these vids on the FB repu forum lol. I remember you back in the first gen section as well with the blue one. Still got it? Great work on this killer REPU!

Thanks for the complements!

Twinkletoes, unfortunately a elderly man pulled directly out in front of me while I was doing around 30mph. The car climbed his front wheel then rode on two wheels until I yanked the wheel setting it down pretty hard. ALLSTATE INS. was wanting to chop off the front cap from the firewall and weld one from another car on.... I did not understand how they could legally do this to a unibody car, in the end I just took the cash that I could get and then stripped all the parts off of the car. (If you ever get into a wreck with some one that has the same insurance as you, get a lawyer.....don't think that they will do the right thing in this situation) I could not believe how the ALLSTATE INS. people acted and talked to me considering I had been a client for many years. Lesson learned.

Wow I didn't even know about that. Interesting they would want to go through that trouble to fix a unibody like you said. Sorry to hear, but looks like your making the most out of it with these other builds!

Do you know what brand your wheels are? Finding any decent wheel that fits our truck is a pain.

A lot of wheels fit the repu that are made for the new Toyota trucks/FJ's along with Nissan and more, my wheels are 17x9 and 17x8 with 0 offset (5"backspacing and 4.5" backspacing). I picked these up from Discount Tire and was one of there in house brands.

Turned it up one more psi and got 548 whp.

This truck is so badass, I am starting a RX2 project soon... looking to make 400-500WHP to compliment my 618WHP FD! Love watching videos of this truck.

Thanks, its fun in its own way vs. the FD.... Never dynoed my FD, but I was running 28psi through a T88 on pump gas with a 8,700rpm limit. It was fast a crap, but the old school is such a sleeper/death trap that its a little different feeling behind the wheel, the one nice thing is that the cops don't even look at the REPU..... The FD, they would spot a mile away. Rx2's are nice and small, with that much power it should be a blast.

I start the pull right as the camera looses me at the 5 second mark.

Hell Cat Kill......

Well sound was good. Hard to tell with the shaking who won?
