safcdixon Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nice looking motor, needs an air filter too... It just looks like its got mesh over the induction pipe, that would put me off instantly, same as running a turbo trumpet it's just asking for trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 not so. i run a fine mesh instead of a silly airfliter on all my turbo cars. on the dyno my turbo gained 300 rpm of spooltime and anthing small enough to get through would be vapourised on ignition anyway. edit; the mesh i use looks somewhat finer than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 You can get a much better car for that money surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad idea to run without a decent filter imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad idea to run without a decent filter imo. wasnt eating itself , that engine is still running beutifully. that was where the young lad didnt file / clean the freshly cut ic pipe. before fitting up. he had a good boloking edit, the car had a "proper filter" then too it was from that session with ryan on the following weekend he sugested the mesh as the filter was restricting the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Looks tired tatty and poorly put together, T88 is as old as dirt and laggy as a laggy thing, gauges stuck on the dash, would you really part with 14.5k for that, you are really misguided, I would not touch it Sorry if it's a members car but as the OP states it's a decent example I had to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not a massive fan of all the gauges I did not say it was not powerful, I am sure you have a lot of experience of the T88, I ran one on my 2.7 stroker R32, was very powerful but took an age to come on boost and was therefore a poor street car, very old turbo technology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air filters also reduce moisture intake, which in itself is going to cause all manner of problems with everything between your intake and the combustion chamber. Ive seen the results of this first hand on a Mercedes s600 TT engine, and it wasn't pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinboy Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Has all the warning signs of a car that's going to need £££ chucking at it. Possibly. Or..... a single turbo owner who's not a member of the mkiv owners club looking to sell? Heaven forfend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Possibly. Or..... a single turbo owner who's not a member of the mkiv owners club looking to sell? Heaven forfend! Wether he's a member or not, the car looks like its been modified by a hamfisted individual, and it looks like its received very little love in a very long time. Hardly a way to sell an expensive Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
