For technicalities, Wataru's 86 was swapped to have a 4A-GZEU pulled from the AW11 MR2. The car's equipped with a supercharger made by the shop Tool Box(founded in 1992). Boosted up, the car made 200ps. Though strangely, Wataru never bothered installing an intercooler on this, as the piping for both a front mount or the more common top mount is missing in the engine bay shot.
I love these scenes with eurobeat, but man just the pure sound of engines and the environment is relaxing. I be doing homework while listening to these lol
What we have here is a battle of endurance, sure a turbo can kick out more power but it’s not as easy to make use of the power in the rain. That turbo must be grenading on him. The car that wears out it’s driver first will be the decisive factor in this race. Easy is the power of supercharger without the maintenance issues of the turbo; it gives you the feeling a larger displacement motor. I won’t let my Street stamina be defeated by the likes of you rich boy ! Paraphrased quote from Wataru
The Spec A Body Kit is pretty good I agree. But the Spec V Body Kit is superior in my opinion. But I respect your opinion tho. Both body kits are pretty good.
I wonder if the 4A-GZE they used to record the sounds for Wataru's 86 actually has a Tool Box supercharger? since in the manga and anime, Wataru actually replaced the oem supercharger and installed a Tool Box supercharger kit on it. (This 4A-GZE sounds like the stock version from the AW11 or AE92 but i'd be surprised if the 4A-GZE they used actually has a Tool Box supercharger)
When you realize the manga and anime showed the engine bay shot of Wataru's 86 S/C with no intercooler no intercooler piping, whether it's a front mount or top mount
Actually the rain isn't plot armor, it actually gave Keisuke the disadvantage (His car being harder to handle) while for Wataru it was an advantage because his car was easier to handle in the rain. Tho, the time where they make him adjust the wipers and he spins out was kinda plot armor but still a good race like you say. Anyways not bashing on your opinion, just something I thought of.
