Oh yeah, no question about that... The 3S-GTE GT-500 car would destroy a V8 Supercar...

But this car isn't one of them. It has more power and less weight than a V8 supercar but I think the V8 would still nail it, just my opinion

Yeh that makes sense :warning: :s So that supra has over 700 hp & the v8 super cars have 550 hp & you think a v8 would NAIL it? The supra is in the 1200 kg bracket, what do the v8 supercars weigh? Im thinkin supra would nail it *just as long as the BIG v8s arnt light :s*

V8 supercars have over 600hp and weigh 1350kg... Imagine the lag of that turbo on a small engine, it would not be great at corner exits even if you kept the engine spinning hard. Also they are fully developed racing cars which is worth a lot...

But it would be an interesting matchup anyway, oh well, we will never get an answer.

Yeh true, when i thought about it there would be a lot of difference in torque through the RPMs. Leave it at that.

That SUPRA was built purly for the top-speed trials a few years back. They use the 3S-GTE because it sits further back in the engine bay for weight distribution and centre of gravity. Also if you are going to compare that to a V8 supercar be realistic. The SUPRA is built for straight line top speend and stability, a V8 supercar is designed for circuit racing. If the SUPRA was set up for circuit racing you would find it would be to close to call.

this car was built for pure top end speed 200mph+, from memory the owner of top secret was fined in the UK for doing over 300km/h on a public road in this car..just some more info.

Looks like the one in the High Octane 2000 DVD.

Check out the "Option Speed Trial" segment.

An identical spec (wide body, Top Secret, gold, 2.2L motor)

was entered in this high speed trial in NZ in 2000.

The original motor was replaced with the short motor for improved circuit racing

handling to bring the center of mass closer to the back of the car.

THe car kept blowing off hoses (too high boost) and did not perform as well as it had in Japan, ie +300kph.

This is quite a good DVD by the way.

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
