I picked up my Rainbow splits today, and spoke to APS about what the best amp to drive them would be, for under $1k.

George showed me a Tru Technology beast, 4x100W, made in the USA.

Anyone had experience with Tru Tech stuff?

I did a search on SAU, not much mention - but on caraudioaustralia they have a good rep.

he told me your would do this... just buy the thing!

cleutin has the right idea. that thing will absolutely HAMMER! (and sound great doing it.)

Hehe, thats funny. When i asked him if Tru Tech had a web site, George got pretty passionate - he was saying just trust me! Are many Tru Tech amps floating around, or are they a rare item?

there are a few. that said they are somewhat rare. DAMN good SQ amp though. get that one set the speakers up properly and you could well have a trophy.

Oh wow.

By setup, you mean good sound deadening, (including the use of Dynaxorb behind the drivers), good positioning of the tweeter, and good tuning of the system?

I'm starting to wonder if my carputer soundcard may be the weak link in all of this, and might let me down with sound quality.

Cleutin u were right on the money there :D.

Trav as i said that amp retails at $1499. I am giving it to you for a $1000. Thats a darn good price to start with.

And TRU TECH i will stand by what i said, trust a specialist that knows what he is talking about :).

I was right about Rainbow, lets see if i can get 2 out of 2 :).

We use Tru-Technology amplifiers here and they come highly recommended by us. :)

If you're interested, I just tested and reviewed the TT Billet 4.75. The review is in the latest addition of INCAR magazine so grab a copy on the way to APS when you pick up your new TT amp - you will not be dissapointed (with the amp I mean)! :D

George, you haven't got another quiet week at work coming up have you???!!! :P

Also, i know you are going to run with some nice Rainbows in your Supra, will you use a Rainbow amp to drive them?

Oh and Trav I can always make time if u need something done.

Can you please post the measurements of the Tru Tech in your cabinet? ie width x depth x also the height.

I'd like to look at how i'll mount it, possibly vertically, but inset so it is flush with the vertical wall.

I know you can make the time.... but i gotta make the money first!

Do you know the "height" of the amp too, so i know how much i'd need to offset it for a flush finish? I'm guessing 44mm.

Nupe i will be speaking to the distributor to get me some of the latest Tru amps actually Trav :laugh:.

And the Supra will be getting started a lot sooner than i thought.

Yeh good one Marty, take a bloody stab at me will ya aye :wub:.

Nah you misinterpreted my post. I meant he might be disappointed with my review but not the amp when he gets it off you. :)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
