FJ20 Into Gemini

Hi, i'm new to this site, my car is a TE P/van, i'm almost finished putting a FJ20ET in it, I've converted the bellhousing to accept a rb25 turbo 5spd box, custom exh manifold with 60-1 TO4 and ext gate, big front mount cooler, EMS ecu and M&W CDI. I've had a custom front set of hubs made up to suit VT Twin spot calipers and 300mm Disks, I'm in the process of adapting the VT master cyl to the Booster. The car looks like a sleeper from the outside except for the 15" pursuit rims. I'm getting it tuned on the 5th of Sept, hoping for about 400hp+ at the tyres. I live on the Gold Coast. Any queries feel free to contact me at ghordern@yahoo.com Also any tips on how to make it handle would be appeciated, i have Kings super low springs, Koni adj ine the front, i think i will look into new/bigger sway bars soon. Thanks Glen

I've got whiteline swaybars on my gem, definitely worth the money, I'd recommend the adjustable versions, I've got the adjustable rear but skimped and only got the fixed front, which I regret.

More caster and more camber should definitely be on the cards, along with shimming the torque tube mount.
