Dunno if this is in the right section but I thought someone might be remotely interested:

This is what has consumed me for the past few years...

1984 MA61 Toyota Supra

1988 Supra Turbo engine conversion (7M-GTE w/ highflowed turbo @ 13psi, 550cc injectors, 2.5" flowed intercooler piping, Apexi SAFC2, 600x300x76mm intercooler, 3" cold air intake into guard)

Standard W58 5 speed w/ heavy duty clutch and flywheel

Truetrac LSD 3.9:1 ratio (looking to go to 3.5:1, 3.9 is way to short)

326mm Brembo front rotors w/ 4 piston calipers, 308mm front rotors w/ twin piston calipers

17x7.5" BSA rims, with Toyo Proxes T1R rubber

tokico shocks F&R

king springs F&R

whiteline adjustable swaybars F&R

RA60 front strut tubes (easy 2 deg negative camber)

Everything else has been reconditioned/replaced over the years... except the gearbox I think!

Black Interior swap from other MA61 Supra

Full respray and rust cut out in Black

And more stuff but it's pretty boring...

Everything engineered and legal. Does winton is around 1:47 but it was my first time on street tyres, I reckon I can get quicker with non-warped rotors :P. Also made 227rwkW at 12psi and 630Nm in 4th gear (equates to around 500Nm at engine).

Really hate the untasteful cars around nowdays, the aim was to create something that fit in the 80s but improved on every mechanical aspect. Stock power is around 138hp at the fly (SOHC 2.8 six), now making around 400hp at the flywheel (DOHC 3.0 turbo 6).

Handles very well, considering it was conceived as more of a big GT than sportscar (I've certainly turned that around). With the new tyres, LSD and neg camber I couldn't get it to understeer in a motorkhana :D

Doesn't have the solid "stuck to the road" feel of the GTR but almost feels lighter and edgier... dunno :blink:

I've got some R-Specs and a Haltech ecu there waiting for some funds to finish the car off. Hopefully with a bit of ignition control I can see 250rwkW.

When I bought it:

Anyway thats it! I've got an old V8 merc too that gets 20l/100km which is a pain in the arse

cheers guys. yeah it's a very different machine to the GTR, lots of fun though. Got any pics of your JZA80 N1GTR?

As for knight rider, i was bored and used my phone video editor to make a montage of clips of it to the knight rider theme... i thought it was amusing :cool:

as for pics of the merc, don't have many yet. it's a bog stock 1982 380SE in gold, with a lot of structural rust and 20l/100km. it's a south african one though, so it goes a lot harder than the aussie ones (no pollution crap, did the 1/4 in 15.8!!! :down:)

there are a few vids of it on my youtube channel, username ryleyma61...

thanks again :rant:

thanks guys!

yeah it's devils kitchen...

many short videos can be found here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/RyleyMA61

just search for supra under there ;)

it's still costing me money, gotta get myself an oil cooler now!! only thing is the 7M just doesn't have the manic howl of the RB26... :( more of a meaty vaccuum cleaner :(

but it is a hell of a lot of good fun to drive, pretty light and very nice chassis balance... springs are a little soft, which i will fix, and i'm going to try and adapt an RB26 strut brace to fit the supra :bunny:

haha

cheers,

ryley :yes:

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/

      Yeah it is wild how much wider the Yokohama A050 in 255/40R17  vs Yokohama AD09 in 255/40R17 sits on the 17x9 +22 considering its even from the same brand and adjacent product family

      Would love to see some examples of WMI making the same as E85. Only thing I've ever found is this one.  Which suggests WMI is not worth much at all.

      And now the washer bottle looks like an orphan. You're going to have to spend money on a wrinkle black painted fabbed ally one of those. Oh, and the brake MC res. That won't look any good after you've gotten rid of the washer bottle. You going to need to go back to work to keep up with this?
