I owned a 1JZ-GTE twin-turbo Type R before my Skyline. I took it to a few performance places where they told me not to bother wasting my money on trying to make it go fast.

Then I see in HPI Supras like this with 500hp doing 10sec 1/4's, is it just that the guys here don't know what there doing. All they seem to like working on is SR20's and RB's.

I think that Supras are awesome cars, in terms of both looks and performance. Good luck with the new Supra forum Boostzor, hope it is sucessful.

See'ya

:burnout:

M8 i pull a 14.3 1/4 with only zorst and filter i wouldnt exactly call that 'slow'. The only thing that lets em down is the weight, they make more stock than the 'line ever will (cept for R) and the susp aint so great but they have kikass gearboxes.

Hi Boostzor,

Ignore Hicks, he's just jealous cause the only thing he can drag off is mum doing the shopping in the commodore.

The supra was a manual, had an awesome amount of power and torque for a relatively factory car. I don't want to name names, as I know them reasonably well, but they played around with them before and couldn't get any reasonable power out of one, even with a bigger turbo etc.

The japs must know a trick or two that us Aussies don't.

I didn't think the suspension was that bad, but I think the Type R's had stiffer suspension that the normal models.

See'ya

The single turbo was much better seeing as it had vvti and all. I reckon it would be easier to make power out of, too bad they are almost impossible to find it was hard enuff to find a manual tt to begin with. The nissans are just a little more basic i reckon and it makes em easier to work with " air goes in, gas comes out" plus the supra just looks soo bling bling :(

Hicks: Having a good time with photoshop i see.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
