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:

meh..... just leave it up.... your foot is a boost controller.

i daily mine with stiff coilovers + running ~300rwkw.... you just need a brain... even when its wet its not an issue

kris... i see your tbc 300 and raise you another 23 :banana:

e85 is cheating...

I might finally have broken 200 in a few months...at all 4....

But now hamish has made me feel peasant in my happiness at it :thumbsup: damn u hamish!

Awesome!

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 stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
