Cosworthmark02 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hi Guys after years of driving Cossies and Scoobies finally got a Supra :-) which I'm loving. Trying to get some info on it thought as its in for remapping soon. It's had a single turbo conversion. Was apparently a members car previously. Cheers, Mark.

Cosworthmark02 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi Gabriella. Thanks for the reply, No its running well had it pre-dyno checked and came back with really good compresion. About to have it mapped and was looking for info on the single conversion as theres very little in the history. During the dyno pre-check found out the HKS dump valve and wastegate are fake (lots on that famous auction site at the moment so beware). apart from that running sweet. Regards, Mark.

mellonman Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 does it bother you that much that there fakes? they work dont they? i have a fake HKS wastegate on mine works a treat when it fails i might get something better but there is a very common saying "if its not broken dont try to fix it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Who's was this? Any more spec on the car matey? Is it an auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosworthmark02 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Hi, yeah it's an auto. BOV is leaking already and apparently they often fail coz there not up to the job. Trying to get it mapped which Is difficult with faulty components. Will use it until it fails though. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriella Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Hi Mark, I believe that member 123tom123tom was a previous owner of your Supra. His membership expired but if you go to members list you will find him there,then go on to his profile and see his started threads etc ...

SupraDan24 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I remember this car, the guy did have quite a few issues with it if i remember correctly. He singled it himself in his garage. There was some Youtube videos of it running with blue smoke. Glad it's back up and running now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thread bump! How are you getting on with the car? How are you finding the auto compared to the scoobys and cosworths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosworthmark02 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hi, Sorry Just saw your reply, been havin lots of problems with the single set up so now in with Whifbitz to go back to twins with BPU. Lovin the car though and wanted an auto, will reserve judgement until I get it running properly. Dunno how I didn't get in to supras sooner, there so easily tuned.
