"Street" GTR nearly ready - at last

[GFXman]

OMG! That's CRAZY! :looney:

Great work

[Steve]

Congrats, sounded nice on the dyno too, lurve that lumpy idle - Mick kept laughing and smiling after each run (while I was there anyways) when he was tuning it:)

[Cubes]

Dropping my motor off next week.. whooohooo..

I can feel the anxiety building in my stomach now

[Munro]

Boost starts building about 4500, but 5000-9000 is the power band.

Pfitzner dogbox is great on full song, but man it's a pain in traffic.

I am testing the box for Simon, so will wait to see how it handles the torque

when we do a 'race' tune on the engine before making a decision on the suitability

of the box.

The large cams, big single turbo, & 1000cc injectors all start working together in unison

by 5000rpm. Just wish these cars weren't so heavy( with fuel & two people its easily 1850kg), if they were only 1400-1500kg they would truly be amazing. Thats the advantage

of GTSts, but then hooking up the power becomes a problem. No beating the laws of physics I suppose.

I wont be bringing this car out on fri night cruises around the city, but when I'm ready, will bring it out on an afternoon cruise up in the hills so you can all see it in action.

You wont see it for long though, cause this GTR kicks butt!

[Rob]

Far out I can not wait to see this car! , was crazy enuf when u took me for a spin in it around Bunnings!!!.... anyone hear a gunshot

A day cruise is definately on the cards, I can meet up with you guys where u passed me a few weeks ago (wont say it on here)

Until then.

Rob.

[Munro]

Cool. what colour the Supra Rob?

[EnricoPalazzo]

Ive got a sunday coming up so im thinkin of organising a cruise. Date would be 25th Jan. Ill organise a nice route aswell.

[CheekyR32]

omg noooooooo me and john have a wedding to go to and the ute musters are on!!

[Rob]

John:

Car is exactly the same colour as Dean's

It is by no way as powerful as the Skyline tho ... I got it dyno'd and it only does 100RWKW.. but that is stock boost... next time i get it serviced I will put the boost controller back on (its an Apexi button job that i dont know how to setup prop hehe - came installed on car but unplugged at this stage).

The engine is only a 1G-GTE (2.0L Twin Turbo - sequential turbo's) but it can handle a huge amount of boost I have been told and the engine is extremely tough... the engine was mainly found in the 1980's Toyota Soarer, came in my car before they went to the 7M-GTE and then the beast 1JZ-GTE found in the last of the Supra's before the present shape.

Main reason for getting it was : 1) 7M-GTE has to many issues (mainly blowing headgaskets), 2) After selling Skyline couldn't go back to a standard car, 3) It's Japanese and an import & 4) Cheap to buy but still looks good and also very rare.

It will be a good knock around car until I get my R34 GTT in a few years (or less depending on how long I can hold out ).

Dean:

Hmm I dunno if I will make the 25th as Sat night of the 24th I have a 40th birthday at littlehampton to attend... needless to say I will be a huge night lol.

That said though if it come's through where I am then give me a holla and I will get my arse into gear and meet u in the town centre and we can go from there .

Rob

[TIMMMAYYY]

I hav 100rwkw rob...when do you want to race hehehe

[EnricoPalazzo]

Rob: No probs mate.

I was wondering how u found out all this info on the 1g-gte. I have searched everywhere and basically found nothin on the engine its self or the potential it has to be modded. However in sayin that i know some basic things. Firstly the turbos are smaller then my gfs hair dryer. Secondly ive seen alot of people put these engines into older celicas and basically light cars. The engine is very smooth. Last but not least, it has a cool turbo light that indicates when they are making boost

Give me a holla if u wanna talk about supras, i know a fair bit as my mate had one. Cyas

[GFXman]

Haha, how do you feel rob... an N/A skyline with the same power

Still I can't talk :Oops:

Dunno if rob told me about this one or not... http://www.supraforums.com/

[EnricoPalazzo]

yeh but those guys dont know anythin about the 1g-gte so its almost a waste of time that forum. Nite

[Rob]

Dean:

Yep you are right supraforums.com is pretty weak.. there is also supramania.com but that is also pretty crap.

I have also been to toymods.com.au ....but it is absolute crap because no one even bothers to reply to your questions.

I got most of my info just searching the net and getting bits of info here and there.. but you are right stuff in nearly impossible to find on them.

Yep the turbo's r rather small and yep has the funky turbo light ... but yeah main reason I got it was for a cheap car that also looked good... I do get heaps of looks because u don't see the car's everyday... which is kinda cool.

All the probs I had with power are now gone, it was alternator all along causing the issues, since had it fixed it has been smooth sailing all the way.

There r a few things i still want to do to the car.. 1) Get another rear spoiler (had a GT wing but pulled off as soon as i could) , 2) Lower it more , 3) quieten the exhaust as it is so f***in loud!!.

GFXMan

Haha you will keep ... it's ok def was not brought for power so I don't mind... mind u saying that i had a hills race against a 300zx yesterday and manged to keep up with the VG30DETT ... except when he went up steep hills and his torque really kicked in.

p.s. once car is up to my standards I will take some pics and post them on here.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Yeh rob they are nice cars. Ive driven my mates old one. Goes well. The only thing against it is its weight. They are pretty heavy.

Im in the same ball park as u with the exhaust. My car is so daim loud and im gettin the wrong sort of attention from it. Anyway im trying to find a place that can quiet it down without changin its tone, cos the car sounds pretty mad. I might checkout the thread on exhaust shops now.

[Rob]

I went to Exhaust techniques and they put a resonator on it , it didn't do a damn thing
