I headed down to AIR tonight (06Dec) to lend a hand to Shaun, Ben & co as they were running the 'Boost Worx' backed yellow 2JZGTE powered Supra (ex-RPM car).

Ben ran a string of low 11's @ over 127mph before finally getting the car to run closer to its potential with a PB of 10.8 @ 125+. The mph was down on the earlier passes as an IC hose blew off going into 3rd gear. The car should run closer to 10.4 with a few more tweaks.

All passes were on ET Streets (DOT approved) I'm not sure if they qualify for the HPI Street Drag Challenge or not?

I'm sure most will agree that the 2JZGTE is an awesome engine. Ben's Supra runs a dead stock internals 2JZ.

Another car worth mentioning was the factory standard new 3.5L V6 Magna (base model) whose female driver ran back to back 14.8 - 14.7 mid 90mph passes (best of 14.7 @ 96mph). The only mod was a slight change to the air box feed.

Yeah mate sure have!

I remember reading articles on the MKIV JZA80 Supra when it was first released in Japan. It was my #1 choice when I got interested in imports back in the early-mid 90's. They were a touch too expensive back then though :) Hence I got the Skyline instead. I've gone too far with the GTS to start again now :)

Hip,

Brand new ET Streets & a good suspension aligning session made a huge improvement on the strip.

ET Streets are a drag radial tyre made by Mickey Thompson. They're DOT approved which technically makes them street legal.

"There's a simple way of identifying whether or not a tyre is legal for road use. If it has "DOT" or "E" written on the sidewall, it's passable - no probs. DOT is the US abbreviation for the Department of Transport, while "E" is the recognised European compliance symbol. Having said that, it wouldn't be unthinkable to get pulled over by the police for supposedly "bald tyres" - regardless of their technical legality."

The car is with Boost Worx now as the mechanic linked with the car moved from RPM to set up his own workshop. So the car moved with him.

Tim,

I'd say traction would've been a huge factor in who hosed who on the street! Neither cars have/had a lot of traction on road rubber. Ben mentioned turning the tyres @ 180+ on the road.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
