  1. i want to buy a turbo upgrade for the original housings. they offer t3 or gt28r swaps to the eu turbos. do you have a link for that resistor pack? thanks
  2. hi i want to upgrade my turbo and my fuel system. the 440ccm jspec injectors are to small for me. i would like to swap the eu spec 550ccm injectors, or maybe 720 ccm. i know there is a difference between the jspec and eu spec injectors, so what can i do? would this computer do the job? there is also a injector harness so i guess the different inpendance would not be the problem anymore? http://www.suprastore.com/grempibafuco.html i also would like to control the injectors for different settings. thanks for your help!
  3. the problem is: when you need one 1150p is cheap, when you dont need one 700p is the normal price you get
  4. i need the max temp before it can be demaged, for example when im on the racetrack or the autobahn
  5. how much is the max. temp. for the oil of the auto box??
  6. how much rpm can the stock engine take when im fitting a single turbo and a aem?
  7. Spoony

    some rpm

  8. they brake really bad if they are not warm
  9. okok you will also get one bottle of jägermeister for free with the kit
  10. this is what you get: http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/5962/img5454yu3.jpg
  11. hi im selling my xs manifold incl. the wastegate and some pipes. im thinking about 330€ shipped to england let me know if its interesting and if you want some pictures. manifold and wastegate is unused, new!
  12. n/a has only 5 gears tt has 6 gears

    gauges

    drop me a pm with the prices please. no taxes because i have a vat number

    gauges

    hi im looking for a egt gauge, a aem a/f lambda gauge, oil pressure and oil temp. offers via pm please thanks
  15. hi a friend of mine ordered a hks twin kit. he is driving a 3" downpipe and midpipe now. the hks twin set comes with a downpipe and he wants to know if its 3" so he can keep his old midpipe/catback or if its bigger and he also has to order a bigger midpipe/catback thanks
  16. isnt it better to give more power to the wheel with trcation instead of locking??
  17. plate in the front wing says A02B, so are you sure? hopefully one day i will understand what is going on in these japanese magic brains....
  18. so i have nothing, just shit in my diff?? but ok, next one...mine is a GZ (leather, electric seats, spoiler and all the extras), so it should have a LSD. ???
  19. mine is saying A02B, which means i have a TRD LSD right? i have found some informations: The Torsen diff is a standard fitment to all 6 speed mkiv's, alot of the Auto TT's and you'll even occasionally find it on a NA. You can tell if your Supra has a Torsen diff by reading the Trans/Axle code on the Engine Tag which is situated under your bonnet. The last letter of the 4 character code (eg. B03B) denotes the diff type which is "A" for a std diff and "B" for a Torsen diff. The crown wheel on the B series is 220mm whilst on the A series it's 200mm. The Torsen (TORque SENsing) LSD (Limited Slip Diff) works quite differently to the TRD LSD. The Torsen is a Torque Multipling type of diff with a multiplication ratio of around 5:1. What this means is that whatever torque can be sent to the wheel with the least traction, it can send up to 5 times that torque to the wheel with the most traction. Its biggest advantage is that it can do this extremely quickly and doesn't ever lockup the ratio, but is continuously "sensing" and adjusting the torque between the two wheels. Its only real disadvantage is that when one wheel has no torque available (say it spinning in mud), then 5 times nothing is still no torque to the other wheel, so you can get stuck just like a std diff. Once the car is moving however this cannot happen. See this Torsen Differential Article for a detailed explanation of how the Torsen diff works. The TRD LSD is a standard type LSD in that it uses clutch packs to transfer torque from one wheel to the other. Transferring torque via clutch packs will be a slower process then the Torsen transfer method and it will absorb more energy from the engine when doing so. However we are probably only talking a few hundreds of a second difference here and maybe a few hp. The main disadvantage of the TRD diff is that it can "lockup" the ratio between the two wheels at 1:1. This means both wheels will then turn at the same speed and if this happens on a corner, it would be exciting at the very least. This "lockup" is also its only advantage over the Torsen diff as even when one wheel is in the mud, the other wheel can provide traction to pull you out. My personal preference is for the Torsen diff as it usually comes free with the car, reacts quicker and aborbs less power and will never accidentally lockup. However, if you want to go rally driving in your mkiv Supra (don't laugh, there's guys in the USA that do just that) then the TRD would be the better bet. this means a torsen LSD (with b in the number in the front wing) is better for the track, but the TRD LSD also locks to 100% if nessesary. correct?
  20. this is exactly what im talking about how can i find out if my car has a lsd or not? 25% or 100% is the closing of the LSD
  21. im thinking about a lsd. the jspec has no lsd, the eu has 25% if youre on single turbo, the racelogic gives you as much as your wheels can offer. wouldnt it be a good thing to get a 100% lsd? 0-100 miles would be much faster. can anybody who has a lsd tell me if its worth the money?
