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:

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:

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
