Just iApple or is there an Android version in the making? Thanx, Dennis

Also, its a 'no go' if your car is lowered! Google 'wheel offset', there are really good calculators in the interweb!

On Ebay... WTF!? How nice of him to let us know... -
+1 Same experience, they are OK in the dry, but not very good in the wet! Massive wheelspin at WOT (BPU+) doing 140kph on a wet highway, not a very secure feeling... I switched to (the much more expensive) Michelin Pilot Sport 2. Loads more grip and the feedback you get from this tire is great! my 2 euro cts

Hi there and welcome! About your problem: Make the original seq. setup work before you up the boost or use the TTC setup! And find someone who has worked on and tuned Supras!! Shortlist: -Remove the ETTC and go back to the original seq. setup -Go back to stock boost -Get an AFR -Test the boost and AFR values Good luck! Dennis

Hi and welcome! What is the main reason for the age restriction? I would think emission? But that can be solved... Why an age limit??

+1 I have an auto + TTC, but we did the extreme TTC by following the secret sauce link:http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?199001-MTR-s-TTC-secret-sauce-mods....pics&highlight=secret+souce TTC lag is overrated imo (but also very subjective ). The only time you will notice it is on WOT after you have come to a complete stop. When cruising around, boost is available 1 or 2 gears down Next year (feb/march) we are doing a manual conversion and I will post de dyno figures. The following is part of the 'TTC secret sauce mod' and removes all butterflies between the twins and exhaust, which had def. made a big difference: 1. #2 Turbo Pipe Mod - remove the butterfly in the pipe coming off the second turbo. Then take a digrinder and remove the aluminum arc that went around that butterfly. Also get the hole where the bullerflys rod came out of the side welded up. Now another thing that you can do is take the middle plate with the openings in it and swap it out with solid piece that you can make out of 1/8 inch aluminum. This is the piece in the picture with the gaskets and crappy blue sealant on it. This plate that goes on top that makes it so the air doesnt have to occupy the extra area in the upper part. Also makes things less turbulant. 2. EGCV Mod - Take out the stock EGCV butterfly and replace it with a straight through design. You can just take a screwdriver with a hammer and bash out the butterfly but that leaves the rod which I also wanted removed. The reason why you need to make an entire new piece is because the stock one is made of ceramic. And since you can't weld ceramic, you would have two large holes in your exhaust. I made mine myself on a lathe out of a piece of temp resistant steel. This will increase the crosssectional area of the #2 turbos exhaust by over 30%. Kinda a pain to install but I found it to be worth it.

Yep, its that simple! Formatting (with spaces that is) a formula/calculation has no effect whatsoever on the outcome of that calculation. Math has rules, you MUST use them... Spaces have nothing to do with math rules. Just like speedlimits... you have to obey the speedlimitssss...

The lag in MW3 is the biggest problem. When I notice extreme lag (like the 3 headshots without a kill ) I leave the party... often followed by 'host migration'... meaning I was the host! Having no dedicated servers reduces costs for the game companies, but has its disadvantages for the gameplay. I still find BF3 confusing as hell! Like I said, in BF3 just must have a clan/teamplayers and think about youre tactics, otherwise you will just be dying and respawning... My PSN: DutchSupra Yeah baby... Jetwrencher32 I will add you to my other 2 friends hahahahaha

I agree with ScottM, go for it and enjoy the 'pchsssssssssstttt' I have the SSQV with a MAF (Netherlands) on my Supra for about 3 years and the cars runs great. I would say the bigger IC + higher boost (1.3bar) and the stock ECU trying to compensate for these conditions make the Supra the run very rich at WOT, more then a BOV could "accomplish". my 2 eurocents

I think the singleplayer is actually "very" good! You can choose a different route then youre team and can flank the enemy. In MW2 that was impossible because you were 'leaving the playable area...' MW2 was like a roller coaster, you could not go left or right. Think of it like a big Hollywood movie production with a Bruce Willis/Sly/Arnold character and explosions/fires/planes/boats and "storyline". I will try the online part this weekend, if I can wait that long. A friend tried it yesterday and the only thing he could say about is it was: LAG LAG LAG $^%$# FF-ing LAG I tried BF3 online, but I think BF3 en BOPs/MW3 require very different online strategies. I think BF3 requires more real teamwork and MW3 doesn't, even in team deathmatch BOPs you are on youre own unless you are in a team with youre mates... Ohhh.... and for all BF3 and COD fans who want to kill each other... :stretch:because BF3 is the better game... or COD is the better game... GET A LIFE... Its just a game

No problem, thank you for putting in the time and effort! -
I did the TTC as a last resort... If the seq system works its a great system! TTC, you will have more lag, but I got rid of everything concerning the seq. system. With the removal of the "big/thick" butterfly in the exhaust track I def have more/faster power. I have the BC set for 1.3bar (steel blades) and the Supra pulls like Keep us posted!
-
I am glad you took note of the smeylis Its always a PITA to locate the source of this kind of problem. The 0.75bar is def. not fine! With a 3" decat (with SARD cat) you should see 1 to 1.1bar. It sounds like the seq. system is OK... I would loose the greddy BC, check all hoses (pressurise the IC system) for leaks, and you could test the VSV's. I had similar problems and gave up after a year of testing, replacing and spending a huge amount of money on problem(s) with the seq. system. I had all seq. hoses/valves/springs/butterfly's removed: TTC. More lag, more power (due to removal of restrictive butterfly), less problems... Going single in a few years... Good luck mate! Dennis
-
I have a Blitz BC and 'fuzzy' does NOT work because we have sequential twins, maybe the Greddy BC has the same problem? Can you get it out of the 'fuzzy' setting and manually input 1.2bar? Stop driving like a and learn how the car behaves at WOT with different BC settings and weather conditions.

In the years I did Kyokushin kaikan (full contact karate) we had 5 female members. Beside the breastprotector they were treated like the men. It is strange to treat the females different, it is not like all the men are at the same level or have the same fysique... We had guys weighing 120lbs and some 220+ @Supra-Woman: @The people who are joking about you taking up boxing... well... Who cares, just do your thing, its your life! Dennis

How did you check the pipes and hoses under boost? You have to "load" the engine to get in the higher boost range! Revving the engine does not produce enough boost to find a leaking hose/tube. There could be a small crack in a hose or vacume tube. To be sure: remove and inspect all piping and tubing. I have removed all VSV's/actuators/valves so no going back to sequential for me. But then again... the car hits 1.3bar without any problems... always... Good luck, boostproblems are always a PITA! Dennis

Looks great! That was a lot of work...

Hi Dimitri, Welcome to the club! Theres a lot of good info on this forum You should also check out the dutch supra forums www.rhdsupra.nl and www.shoarmateam.nl Groeten uit Rotterdam Dennis

Yep, removing the old one and installing a new hose is easy, nothing hidden inside: undo the 2 clips, remove the old rubber hose and install the new rubber hose. Installing the new hose can be a PITA, but thats probable because I have no technical skills I replaced the factory one with a cheap ebay silicon hose... that was a mistake. It can not handle the heat and is allready sagging! I will replace it with a hose from siliconhoses.com, far better quality! Dennis
