Have you turbo'd the Supra?

No, I have a turbo MR2 now :banana: Picking it up on Wednesday.

Probably won't pass a roadworthy with the dodgy boost tap on it and I want an electronic one anyway. Will only put the boost up when I need it. 15psi for commuting to work is a bit silly :thumbsup:

Yeah, MR2 will go into the shop for a respray and while it's there I will sell the Supra.

CBF posting pics.. Basically it looks like crap. It's completely stock body in red with some fail spec 17" wheels.

Will soon be black, kitted, dumped and hopefully rolling on some nice jap wheels.

I don't know if I even want to leave it at 15psi though :P It's a stock turbo. What is it meant to be running? Like 6psi or some shit :)

I dunno.. I just don't like having a boost tap.. And a GReddy Profec B Spec II would look nice in the car I think.

saw a hot white MR2 in sydney (chatswood). Full honky spec with CE28N's in gloss red, bomex kit all around (snorkel n all that shiz), flared/rolled guards, dumped low and a thin offset red stripe from the front to the back with some typography designs next to it.

Was shit hot. Awesome use of colour, simple graphic design to break up big mass of white, and epic fitment and stance.

I think I had my first ever MR2 induced boner.

If you're going red, you should do the reverse with white accents.

I quite like the stock Red colour, looks nice.

Good to see it soon.

I've never been the biggest fan of red. Black is more my style :) A nice shiny black.

Man... I'm getting wood just over that description!!

Hmm... Flared guards... How would that look on mine? I'm going for a similar bodykit to last time but more aggressive rear bar and alternate front.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
