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

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
