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...

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:

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • 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/
