Hello everybody, as a few of you know from my recent string of noob questions, I am a new owner of a supra n/a manual :)

Anyway when I give it some and get to 5000 revs the car seems to launch itself even more (like hondas vtec)

Just wondering if this is standard on n/a supras

 

Also while on the matter, when I do hit 5k it makes a sort of whistly/screeching sound (it doesn't sound bad or anything).

Just thought someone might have experienced the same

 

Cheers guys :)

As above :) It is nothing like as fancy as the Vtec system, but I believe it is for optimizing torque across the rev range :) Personally, I would prefer the car was a little slower and had a more conventional plenum arrangement, as you will discover doing spark plugs on an NA is an awful job :D
