I'd be concerned about the 1/2 shafts, and syncro's. Diablo's go through clutches rather quickly regardless.
I'd give Jason Heffner a call, and just talk about his options, and opinions; regardless of if you would do business with him or not. Nobody knows more about making a boosted Lambo work like he does. He'd also know what might need/ not need reinforcing when so much more power is made.

and both will be shit
one American thus crap, and the other British, thus crap too....BUT with a Toyota engine, so it'll last long enough for the rest of the car to break
does anyone else notice the resemblance to the YES Roadster aswell??
I just noticed, aside from the front bumper it really is EXACTLY the same!!! Smae lines, intakes, hood, windows lights, mirrors ect!!!
maybe its like the Mitsubuishi 3000GT and Dodge Stealth project where the cars are the same just different badges

the syncros arent the best, Id imagine the half shafts arent either, but the clutch is strong and has lasted a few guys into the 35k mile range!!! The problem with then seems to be abuse or multiple owners that drive differently and causing it to wear unevenly and thus faster, BUT with all that power slippage may still occur.
so far limeys been trouble free, so we shall see

The other thing is...would the stock Diablo transmission be able to handle another 250hp?
why not??
its not like Ill be doing 6000 rpm clutch drops, burn outs, or doughnuts

I know limeys is a twin SC and he said hes around 700+ with ther 2-3lbs of boost and 800 with 4-5
I dont think he had to reflash the ECU though
I dont know if I want to get into tuning it though, that takes time and money, thats why Im waiting to see what limey does and charge. I might be better off just buying a bolt on and ready to go unit. Maybe, idk, we shall see.
either way, Ill have a Veyron killer for a 1/6 of the cost
1/4 in 10.6

Oh, you want reliability too? That's where the 50K comes in.... 
I don't know why you can't buy a kit for a $3000 Camaro 6psi Vortech kit or something close to your displacement and start building brackets and pipe.

cause I dont have skils like you and would be completely lost from step 1

from Bill:
You should be able to SC any car for a fraction of those numbers. Your Lambo should be able to SC for under 10k with some creativity and fabrication. Some computer controls for fuel and spark are going to need hi tech help. The rest is simple.
___________________________________________________________________
reeeeeeeeeeeally in listening
my main consern would be reliability. I know you could do it cheaper, Im sure limey would want to recoup the R&D money and make a nice lil profit from all the "rich" Lamborghini owners
and webby, what wrong with the pedo bear? its funny, and if you take it away the people that think Im a self rightous uppity holier than though dick wont see me making fun of myself in one of the most derogatory ways and it will just serve to feed fuel to their beliefs and envy. Beside, you saw my pedo van, it ROCKS!!!

hey yuki. is this "documentation"???
or do you need pics of the tranny too??
the cars been out for severa months, not everyone is in a rush to document to the inth degree the utter failures of their cars to show to the online world. Theyre more concerned with dealing with Nissian in court.

I watched that again and that REALLY reminds me of FChat or dealing with Allan on Lambo Power
if you dont kiss their ass and bow down to them you are nothing to them. If you dare question anything they say or express an opinion they dont agree with, rather than debate or answer to it, they throw a fa ggoty hissy fit and ban you to in a pathetic attempt to spare their fragile ego.
Never noticed any of that on Prime, but I stay outta the modding forums and SoCal because alot of it seems to be "look at me, Im just as good/better than a Ferrari" stuff ALL THE TIME.
Prime used to be the best and most informative forum around, it seems to be an ego inflator/group denial board now....or noobs buying bottom of the barrel NSXs and thinking they are gods now.
