I wouldn't say so..... I drove a Mk4 RZ on the weekend and DAMN!!! they pick up so well and the feeling you get when the 2nd turbo comes on boost is absolutely amazing. Plus that 6th gear just tops it off.

I would own 1 in a second

I thought supras were simultaneously turbochrged not sequential?

Its simultaneously turbocharged, but they kick in sequentially.. If that makes sense

No issues with Skylines vs * here. Thats why ronin is still here, he is our token toyota driver. :D

The supra is a real sports car though, they are just so nice to drive. I prefer skylines, but if Nissan didnt make the skyline I would probably have a 350z, but if they didnt make a 350z then maybe I would go a supra.. maybe.. hehe

The Supra's are SEQUENTIAL.

it has 2 x CT12B turbo's.

Unlike the Liberty B4 which has one bigger than the other.

there is some sort of valve that allows boost to go to the second turbo as the revs go up and at say 3000rpm (eg as I don't know the exact rev point), the valve is completely and both turbo's are boosting away...

I'd love one..

There are 2 wires in the ECU that are grounded that activates the 2nd turbo.

I would imagine the grounding of those 2 wires would activate some sort of butterfly in the exhaust manifold that would then allow the 2nd turbo to build boost...

I could be wrong though

But that system like the rx7 always plays up, hence y people go 1 single or twins with new manifolds.

My boss has a 1927 Bentley which he drive to work on a friday once a month. Hmm its friday and its in the carpark :)

Oi - ONLY toyota driver here???? :)

ok - so i don't post much - but i'm here - lurking around

There are things acronymed to VSV's (some sort of valves) that open up actuators (like a wastegate) at certain RPM - there are two because it first opens up the exhaust section (to spin up the turbo) then the intake - so that an already boosting turbo is helping out the first one :D

You can still catch it out though between the turbos :mad:

As for the Skyline vs Supra vs Anything else - it's nice to poke fun at my mates with skylines, it's always meant with a mountain of salt. All in good fun.

As for Exas... well... that's just not on ;)

PS Tosh - you're welcome, when you get your car sorted, i'd love a drive of teh MR2

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
