You are slow -
Great attention to detail Brad

You don't loose time

Cool mate Good progress

Great info Mike

I'm pretty sure Jamie has a nice plan. A Supra will always be a good invest

Lovely Supra

Baffle made a huge difference on my 4" Ti
-
I always drove off boost for the 1st ml, removed the baffle and drove normally. No prob for the engine. Lee even tried with my Supra on the dyno at low boost with the baffle in ; no issue ... Syvecs controls
-
I had the same issue with my old house ... too many neighbors. I put the silencer in the morning, and removed it when I had left my neighborhood (after 1 ml)

TH400 and monster turbo Jamie

In 2 months time, my Supra will go to SRD. Due to COVID, it will be delivered.

Perfect mate

Even though the comp was only raised by .5, the engine is more responsive off boost. It feels much better on the road. I didn't want to go higher than 9:1, even though I run E85 all the time. I would go 9:1 if you decide to go the built route. No real need to open the engine if you don't have to. Lee found on the dyno that the Syvecs detected engine noise .... so that was the reason SRD opened the block. I hadn't felt anything strange on the road.

I went 8.5:1 in 2012 In 2018,we decided to go 9:1 Between 2012 and 2018, the block wasn't touched ... only bigger turbos over the years.

Yeah Phil I ran 850 - 1000 bhp between 2012 and 2018 - around 40k km. I did my last race of the season in September 2018, and headed straight to SRD 2 weeks later. We did a dyno run 1 hour after I arrived at SRD. Lee detected some engine noice through the Syvecs sensors. On cylinders 5 and 6, piston rings were stuck and had left scratches on the cylinder wall. So we decided to go from 86.5 to 87mm and put new pistons (9:1 CR) in with everything needed (Carillo HD rods). I knew the block wouldn't last forever ... especially with my 1/2 mile races.

Maybe in a couple of years mate. SRD just rebuilt my 3.0

It makes no sense wasting time with an NA on the dyno

Awesome transformation Jamie. Supras look so good in white
-
Zach's and my Supra are very similar in power and tq (difference of a couple of rwhp an ftlbs). It is perfect wrt spool and power. On the street, it is useable ... but crazy fast. I wouldn't change anything tbh. E.g. : the new Ferrari SF90 does 100-200 kph in 4.5 secs .... our Supra's with 6870 turbo (Phil, Zach, Mike, Dom, me) do low 4's.

Nice mate

Awesome transformation in a couple of weeks
