I went to the autosalon but i could not wait around all day for the best car at show to run so i missed out on the run.

Looks great and congrats on the win!!! Good to see a RB win a event ;) woulda been different if Miss 2j ran... Anyone know what is up there? =)

Cheer's thanks for the support...

Miss 2j is busted...catestrophic engine failure.

While we did go on the dyno, our car is no dyno queen. We'd be happy to match "miss 2j" up against our beast at the strip...12.2 with her husband driving is far from impressive, and a 1.36 around Wakefield is very poor...Stace runs 11's with only 350kw, and im sure a standard Supra could beat that wakefield time quite easily. A car with a 1000rpm power band does not really "float my boat"....But if thats their thing good luck to them, we rather enjoy what we have built than look at it in a show. Don't get what i have said here the wrong way, as both Jodi and Ross are lovely people, its just a little tiring people comparing our cars all the time. They built theirs to win show trophy's we built ours to race.

The engine build is on par with RH9, JUN, DEVLISH, GTR700 and other monster's that have come out of the CRD garage, the only thing stopping this engine from making big dyno numbers is the size of the turbo(s). Nothing more.

Dave...may take you up on the CDI offer mate.

i understand where your comming from and i agree totally. Its just a show car and nothing more. Just a shame that it keeps blowing up..... would cost soooo much money ;)

Keep up the good work the car looked great!

rumour has it the last bottom end was a $30 000 Titan Motorsports item from the states.

ouch!

ahh how the hell did they manage to break it then? somethings obviously not right with their combo,,,

i heard the reason why it cost soo much money was because they made her change the management system. the engine only need pistons and a head to fix from the last blow up.

I wonder if we will see this car out on the dyno again.

yeah maybe the compression is too high or the plenum does not flow correctly ;)

more like ...way too much timing caused excessive heat and melted pistons, valves and head.

anyway...this is our thread...not theirs...lol

They are up to their third tuner now i believe. Its a definate setup problem.

What power does this 2j make? or did make before it blew?

Cause those times say pretty pathetic, or the driver/s are.

it was around 750 - 800rwkw

Back on topic now - just answered the questions.. no more about this 2j.

It wouldn't be the first time a Supra has run a 12 but I bet it was at eleventy billion mph...

Paul, gimme a buzz on the mobile if you want to run at Supernats.

2rismo, thanks as per phone call...ever thought of being a puppeteer...you certainly know how to pull a few strings.

turbo's HKS GT-RS items

capacity 2600cc

static CR one thing ill be keeping to ourselves (im sure you understand)

What about you promise to tell us when you reach a certain ET? I'm dying to know.

it means nothing...

our number plate reads TWO.06L...meaning two point six litre.

some people when making up custom plates use a 6 as a G

my mate one day was looking at the plate and asked us "what does twoogl mean"?

we had a laugh and explained to him that it meant 2.6litre...and that the 6 was not meant to be a G but actually a 6...

he said nah stuff it im now gonna call it "twoogle"

this name stuck and has grown to even been included in the drag records lists and in magazine articles

its weird how some nicknames evolve and stick

Which is why I wonder why people don't call me Abo Gob...

Looking good Paul. All the best for tomorrow and the rest of the assault.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
