Guest suprarich Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 hello everybody, i have just bought a 1993 light blue metallic Supra Auto TT import. now ive heard alot of things bout the differences between the imports and the UK models. obviously brakes, glass/plastic headlamp covers etc but i was wonderin what HP are the imports rated at because i know they have smaller turbos, are they 325 or 280, im beggining to think there 280 cos i sold a 260bhp subaru to buy my supra n it didnt feel much slower than my new TT. horsepower please! thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 the tt im hopefully picking up seems a lot quicker than my 280bhp s14 on boost, its also smoother and more user friendly to drive off boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprarich Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 any1 help me with me with the de-limiter question i asked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 When it hits the limiter at 112 it's in 3rd not 4th Once delimited (The TRL delimiter / convertor is a good piece of kit btw), it'll fly past 112mph and up itself into overdrive (in other words 4th gear).

Jake Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 bloodyhell, thats complicated stuff through that link, still unsure of my bhp Sorry, we get asked this question several times a week. Basically all cars made in Japan in the 90's that were over 280bhp were quoted as being 280bhp. This was due to an agreement between the manufacturers. Take a look at Skylines, high spec Imprezzas, etc and you'll see that they were all sold as being 280bhp. If you put a standard Supa TT on a Dyno you'll usually see it make somewhere between 300 and 320bhp. Obviously it varies from car to car and dyno to dyno. OK?

Guest suprarich Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 thankyou guys, i tested the 4th gear thing out and you have to get to 112mph (180kph) without kickdown in order for it to go into 4th gear. now has anyone used this piece of kit on ebay? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10428&item=4520224515&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW does this do what the more expensice chips that are advertised do? how wud i fit this mother f cu k er???? cheers! anyone had any experience of it?

Bobbeh Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Rich Check this link for a good supplier to remove your limiters http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/Top_Speed_Delimiters-151.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 does this do what the more expensice chips that are advertised do? how wud i fit this mother f cu k er???? cheers! anyone had any experience of it?Yeah, I bought one of those cheap ones when I got my first Supra. It was nothing but trouble and the instructions were also incorrect. Peter Betts from Thor Racing helped me to get it working (even though he doesn't sell the cheap crap ones). I took it out in the end and fitted a Thor one. The Thor DSCs are also good because they are adjustable which means that you don't have to put up with your speedo being 10% out like everyone elses. Mind you, some folks like to see 150mph on the speedo when they're really doing 135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 I'd be wary of the cheap ones, can play havoc with your power steering. Forget the tech side of it but your power steering lets up the faster you go but with the cheap delimiter you can be doing 80 and your power steering is on full bung making the car feel very very twitchy indeed. I'd pay the extra and go with Thor, sure a real techy bod will explain it better for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 BTW, the import TT's have LARGER turbo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
