Ben's 'Boostworx' sponsored 10sec Supra came to a sad end late today :) Thankfully Ben is ok!!!

This is all second hand info, so don't take it ALL as gospel...

A Dawoo of some description did an illegal U-turn causing Ben to take evasive action to avoid hitting it! The Supra clipped the gutter in the process and this caused it to spin. Ben hit a stobie pole just forward of the front door area. Shaun said had it hit at the door... Ben would've been in BIG trouble :D

As the other car wasn't actually involved in the crash they left the scene, giving the finger and swearing! If anyone has any info that leads to the ID'ing of said Dawoo then pls let me know.

Most of the drivetrain is suppose to be still ok and will hopefully make it back into a new chassis?

The new engine hadn't even been fully run-in yet :D Early trial tuning saw 360rwkw on 16psi at 5500rpm. They intend to use closer to 7000+/-rpm and 20+psi. I'm guessing high 400's to 500rwkw will be on the cards, as the turbo wasn't even into the start of it efficency range.

So where did this happen? Post a pic?! This isnt going to be like R34 GTR crashed in adelaide is it?

Not sure on the location?

I VERY much doubt it will be like the "GT-R crashed" thread, as Ben's Supra is very well known. Not much chance of mistaking it. It has been a ZOOM cover car and was a regular AIR competitor. It also made over 420rwkw at Autosalon one year.

The new motor has BIG potential! Hopefully it'll find a new home sooner rather than later.

I can't believe the farkwits in the Daewoo didn't at least check that he was OK... :) I hope the pricks get caught. I hate it when someone in a nice car is automatically blamed (he will be) for an accident caused by an idiot like this. Sort of makes you wish that he'd run up the arse of the Daewoo - the friggen retard in the buzzbox would get their just desserts, and Ben might have actually gotten some form of compensation...

OMG that is on ***in bad!, I can not believe the other car did a runner.... I hate fugging Daewoo's!!!!!!!

Hopefully he will get it all put into an other chassis, and get it back on the road.

If only my Supra (same shape) was as fast as his.... such a beast of a car.

Did I mention I hate Daewoo's!

Daewoos are Korean Crap! :throwup: Still a very good thing that no-one got hurt! Very frustrating all the same though

Revhead (Marc) you hit the nail on the head mate! Ben will undoubtedly have the finger of blame pointed at HIM, for no other reason than the type of car he drives, or drove... in this case :)

The cost of repairing, or replacing, the s/pole and downed power lines will add up to quite a bit ;)

It could've been a LOT worse I guess? Ben is ok and the new engine combo should be fine. Looking at that photo it shows the rear end is still fine too.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
