Guest steve_supra Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 alright guys, long time no show! after selling my old supra that some off you may remember.. guess who did photo as well lol.. Now after a bit of time im looking at a big spec supra to buy and have seen quite a nice one up for sale locally and wanted to quiz you lot and see what you thought and if you think good price etc let me know what you think... spec list ENGINE TRUST T78-33D SPL TURBO KIT (New version) TRUST DUAL EXHASUT MANIFOLDS TRUST RACING EXTERNAL WASTEGATE TRUST 3 WAY BIG INTERCOOLER KIT SARD METAL CAT AMUZE TITANIUM EXHAUST HKS HIGH CAMSHAFTS HKS ADJUSTABLE CAM GEARS HKS OIL COOLER KIT HKS TWIN PLATE CLUTCH KOYO 3 WAY ALLOY RADIATOR A/M FUEL PUMP A/M INJECTORS WHEELS/SUSPENSION/BRAKES 18" ROTA TORQUE ALLOY WHEELS BREMBO F50 BRAKES FRONT BREMBO F360 BRAKES REAR ENDLESS 2 PIECE RACING BRAKE DISCS FRONT ENDLESS 2 PIECE RACING BRAKE DISCS REAR BRAIDED BRAKE LINES TEIN ADJUSTABLE COILOVER SUSPENSION ECU/INTERIOR APEXI POWER FC ECU (Mapped by TweenieRob TR racing) BLITZ BOOST CONTROLLER DEFI OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DEFI OIL TEMPERATURE GAUGE DEFI WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE DEFI LINK CONTROLLER DUAL TURBO TIMER BOOST GAUGE AM DIAL KIT EXTERIOR VEILSIDE BODY KIT ABFLUG HEADLIGHT KIT RECARO DRIVERS BUCKET SEAT SABELT RACING HARNESSES everything in the engine is nearly brand new and was tunned in jap but then remapped for u.k fuel. mate andy had a look round car and took out for quick drive and all seems fine with it. only fault i can tell is that at a standstill theres a rattle from the gearbox. with this power car i know its going to munch through g-boxes but should it make such a rattle or would this be teeth chatter as the flywheel has been lightened which iv been told can affect the ballence so makes it more noisey. the cars up for £13,995... thoughts?

Homer Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 That spec list has fresh import written all over it The spec looks pretty good, the only downside is the ancient turbo, it'll make good power at the top end, but will be laggy compared to the more modern turbo's on the market now. The ECU is a good one, but is there any mention of the fuel system - i.e. rail type, injector size, lines, pump, etc? A/M injectors doesn't say much, I assume that just means aftermarket (i.e. the seller doesn't know or can't check if they are stock or not). Any idea what PSI boost it's currently running? Any AFR or EGT gauge installed (at least one is an essential item for single)? Any pics of he car and bay? The gearbox rattle is most likely due to having a lightweight flywheel installed, they can ratle like hell on idle. Check that the noise goes away when depressing the clutch. Hopefully they have knocked off money for the failside bodykit, but I guess you can always replace that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steve_supra Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 think has 700 or 740 injectors but not sure about make or model or fuel pump etc, iv managed to knock him down to 13k you think good buy? its not the original T78 its the newer model from what i can see and lags not to shabby to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think its too much, but then I havent seen it. If its perfect then 13k is a resonable price. Monthind - thats a name I havent heard in a while. Contract lost there, so dont have to go see them any more Which one was your missus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
