  1. Thanks mate. Is there an older version of this turbo? Is there a journal bearing version? I cant read the serial number off the data plate Thanks, I just did that lol, may have to look elsewhere. A few threads pointed me to TRL but there is also the same about them on the internet.... Can anyone actually recommend anyone good , regardless of where they are? cheers
  2. Lockup switch does indeed stop TC causing the gearbox to hunt at motorway speeds. But a good tranny oil temp gauge and multiple coolers is my safety backup. I don't like using a lockup switch in case I forget it's on and roll the 2nd gear sprag by getting a bit heavy with the go pedal. With my setup at least, I can drive at motorway speeds and find a happy place where I don't need to manually lock it up. For my setup the 3800 is perfect, and for my next upgraded setup it will be too. There is a tradeoff but then I forget that when I get the kind of instant boost I do now I have installed it!
  3. I have heard mixed things about the PI stalls, mainly not good things. I would personally go for the titan one. I will get some video yes no problem. If I was speccing a stall again I would go for the 3800 every time as my goals mean turbos coming on boost >3k RPM. All stalls are supposed to vary a little but mine does exactly what other Titan 3800's do, starts biting at 2500, building boost at 3k and gone above that! It transforms kickdown yes, it is literally ready to boost in every scenario, and it does so very quickly whereas with the stock stall I could find the car bogging until it built boost in certain situations. In fact for me it has transformed the car in a good way. It also happens to be perfect for my 1/4 mile goals. I will look into some video options.... I don't have an in car setup and am not a fan of mobile phone videos, will see if I can get my go pro dash mount in operation! I know someone in the US with a very similar setup to me and same turbo, gearbox and stall ran 10.2 at 136 so I would be pissed off if I don't get low 11's initially and then high tens after some tweaking.
  4. Quick question for anyone in the know.. I currently run a T4 PT67 .68 AR (no idea on its max power limit, will find out on the dyno) and I am thinking of a big power hike (and something more modern) next year. Apart from other required mods does anyone know will a PT7175 CEA or something similar be completely different size wise in all aspects? I know intercooler pipework will need modifying but will I need a new downpipe once it is bolted up to the exhaust manifold? I'm guessing I will... just wanting to plan for the work involved. Additionally, does anyone know any good remappers in the Yorkshire area? ECU is a link G3 LEM. So far I have got RDT in Doncaster earmarked. Cheers
  5. Good question!! Initially I am aiming for low to mid 11s. Eventually with a bigger turbo and new fuel setup I would like to go notably faster..! Just need to get the chassis setup right in addition to the other factors.

    A340E upgrades?

    The boxes are the same I believe.. My titan drag auto box is fantastic
  7. Indeed, fuel usage isn't great but I don't use it as a daily so only notice it go down by the 1/4 tank It is not bad at all once your moving to be honest, you can cruise at 2000 rpm no problem in many situations when you have some inertia. However to get moving from a standstill I would say the stall starts working at about 2500 rpm, then semi locked and building boost at 3000 rpm and fully locked at 3500rpm. It doesn't really change the dynamics for me of the auto supra (which I like) but I am wanting to do some times at the Pod next year and will hopefully see the parts and work pay off. When I get round to it I will start a thread on what the car has had done to it, and what I am doing to hopefully make it put a reasonable time down the 1/4 mile.
  8. Thanks David. I researched on Trans temperatures and thought I might end up having to fit a stat. I will get a Mocal one ordered and fitted. Regards whether I will get fed up or not. I doubt it, the trade off with instant boost is more than worth the negatives and I built this car primarily as an occasional car with the 1/4 mile in mind. Just need to see what it does on the strip next year. I will update the other tech thread regards the gearbox issues I had with what the problem turned out to be!
  9. To update on this for anyone else in this position. I finally have the car setup and running sweetly. Titan stage 2 race auto box , titan 3800 hi stall and the single setup. Everything I read is true about the hi stall.... It is superb for cruising and getting on boost straightaway, but around town it does make you sound like you can't drive , especially crawling uphill in traffic!!! But the tradeoff is worth it and I have developed a driving style to try and remain inconspicuous while driving slowly around town that sort of works... As for WOT action. It has turned the car into a completely different animal. The gearbox is superb, most happy with it, however the car is a bit scary to drive in the current damp conditions, there is no real half measures and when it gets on full boost it seems to try and kill me quite often in winter conditions. To that end I have spent some cautious time learning to drive it and I am now in a position where I can review it in a very positive light. I also installed 3 transmission coolers (sized to prevent pressure drop) and a digital trans temp gauge and sender. Temps are currently a very comfortable 50-70 degrees C max even with the most spirited of driving or stall slipping but I am sure the max will rise a tad when the Summer hopefully comes next year, will add a fan if needed but I doubt it will be. So far basically, I like the setup, although I would be curious on what a 3200 stall is like to live with. Maybe more suited to a daily...
  10. or search for Steve Manleys number on here, top guy and very helpful with ordering lots of parts. He does parts for a main toyota dealer. or pm me and I will dig it out.
  11. Looks identical except in colour to the machine mart 680kg one which is nearly double the price. Good engine stands. I have one of those but use this one https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-ces340-340kg-engine-stand/ because it takes less space up and it means I can still get around the garage. Handles the 2jz without any issues.
  12. Cam cover washers nuts and bolts, cam cover gaskets as they dont come in the set from what I recall. I'll dig PNs out tonight as I ordered them all a few months ago. What are you doing to the engine? just wondering what other bits I can add in lol
  13. Prices? interested in unorthodox racing cam pullies.
  14. There is a way for Domain Name authorities to 'nuke' scam sites like suprastore to save other people getting ripped off. https://www.icann.org/compliance/complaint this is a good start for any victims or people who want to get them done.
  15. Are you based in America? or UK? what bank? If you used a credit its not a question of 'can I get a refund' its a question of 'you are giving me a refund' ...this guy stole my details and made a fraudulent transaction. After all the transaction you actually made with them, the one that was authorised and was only like $40 I bet wasn't it...? but no, they have taken an unauthorised amount and that is theft if I am correct in my assumptions.
  16. You say you paid with a credit card (NOT a debit card??) through paypal??? If so you should be covered if you contact the credit card provider and explain that you have been defrauded for a large amount of money. Make it a police matter.. after all they have stolen your money and you didn't authorise them to ... any qs on how to tackle them pm me
  17. Be good to take the wrap off! Then people can see it fully?
  18. Looks like an XSpower one pre bracing. I used to have one on my old car and it looked identical down to the expansion slot in the centre http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?611639-2jzgte-XS-POWER-Single-turbo-manifold-T4-Braced
  19. I have a full whiffbitz kit unused that I am selling in the for sale section..!
