Just had a set of these delivered in standard size and will be getting them fitted at the weekend. They are replacing the T1R and so they are quite new Anyone else got them?

Hi guys My car has ohlins adjustable dampers all round which i need to soften up a bit. I've managed to adjust the fronts via the small allen key on the top mount but just not sure how to get access to the rears. was wondering if i can take the metal plate off to get to the shock itself. Have attached a pic of the plate thanks jon

Hi mate, Just found this link on the tube : Look pretty good as long as all the clips and fittings are in the right place. Also I'm not sure about the mesh covering the radiator air intake. Jon

Thanks mate, will check this

Does anyone know the covercraft part number for these and if you can still get them? Looked at getting it from the states but they don't ship internationally Cheers Jon

Mine does this too, did you get any resolution to this?

Let us know what you think mate. How much did you pay for yours?

Hi Guys, Got my Supra on Saturday and was totally blown away by it. (Expect thread soon) One thing strikes me as a bit odd though - When I start it up from cold, the idle goes straight to about 600-700 rpm and stays there, feels like it's struggling and there is no automatic choke happening at all. There is also a good bit of vibration unless you bring the revs up above 1000 rpm and hold it there till the engine warms up. Yet when it's up to operating temp the idle sits at 1200rpm which seems a tad high, almost like it's doing things the wrong way round. Anyone experienced this Thanks Jon

Seen this too, is it on the way to Milford?

I've got this problem too now and the Supra arrives on Saturday ! Has anyone fitted theres in a standard council garage (the ones in a row)? If not it'll have to be car storage

Has anyone driven a F355? My favourite looking car of all time but afraid it might be a bit slow compared to the Supra

I'll def be after some off these when you sort them mate. Will they work with Recaro pole position, apex etc? Thanks

Thanks for the input guys Would like to see more of your setup mate, have you got a link to you build? Speed for Sale do two separate kits, one for UKDM and one for JDM, could anyone explain the difference?

Forgot to add this quote from the post Now..........we can get to specifics! Over the last 4 years, there has been a lot of talk about hybrids. Few have ever come up with anything concrete. Europe and Australia have made more advancements in this area than the US. There are a couple of people in this forum who have done this. TomSid being one. Following his thread for over a year was really interesting. It ended up more of a disappointment than anything else. After spending WAY more than there value, and producing much less HP than expected, it finally died away. The saddest part was after he removed these and sold them off to another Supra owner, his car got stolen, along with the hybrids. (http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...t=79889&page=2) So in came Aaron, a member here, and a turbo engineer with GE. He and I collaborated and he came up with the first beta series T30 60mm turbos. http://97supraturbo.com/New%20Turbo%...OEM-Hybrid.JPG I supplied most all the materials Aaron had the hybrids made. These are currently on my car as we speak. They have made 501 whp in Vegas, and 534 whp here where I live. Both were just about at 20psi. (all this in my original thread from a year ago). We have about 20 sets out there still being tested. There has been a 630+whp on these with an undisclosed shot. His turbos have since bit the dust (he ran them at 28psi) So the limits to these are around 22-24 psi safely. The good news is there value, the downside is they still use the OEM shaft and turbine. I have literally beat the crap out of these and they are still doing very well. 3 HPDE and several drag runs with no issues. My minimum boost is 17.6 and maximum is 22 psi. These are true "drop-in" turbos. What I mean is removing the band clamps/oil and water lines, and your done. Then came another turbo builder who had made a trial set of turbos with a true drop in GT28R set of cartridges. These require a lot more work to install since these no longer use the band clamp installation, and do not use OEM water and Oil lines. This individual knows turbos quite well. They use the same OEM compressor housing and all other stock piping, etc. The EBV and WG actuators are modified slightly because they no longer use the same "flappers". Other than that, completely stock looking. The first beta tester for these goes by "hammerhead" here on the forums. He has made a custom manifold that would compliment these turbos. He also is doing a mock up set of oil and water lines. Hopefully he will be done soon and provide some dynos based on his level of mods. I should have mine installed by September. We are going to make several sets for testing. Right now, I have sent in 12 sets. Hopefully there will be more interest and we can some of these out there instead of myself and hammerhead. PM me for further details. Here again are what the GT28R look like.http://97supraturbo.com/GT28R%20Turb...Conversion.pdf These have been balanced to 24psi. They have a 33% larger shaft, and a larger Turbine. Estimate output is about 20% more than the ones I have now. This maybe a little lower with lesser mods than myself. Again, its all really unknown until more people start providing dynos, etc. Keep in mind that these will probably be twice the cost as the ones I am currently running. So these, once marketed by someone, will be pushing the "single" cost factor. So they won't appeal to everyone. I should also mention that both these set-ups will run sequential. I cannot vouch for these new GT28R's as yet, as far as how well they perform sequential, but they are designed to run sequential. Although they could run TTC as well. In conjunction to upgraded turbo's, I have also designed a small electronic #1 turbo boost controller that plumbs into the stock EBV VSV location. It basically will control the stock VSV to operate at different adjustable thresholds than how the OEM ECU controls it now. No extra hose routings required. It can adjust the boost levels from 10 -18 psi. Hopefully I will have these available at Speedforsale in a month or so. Just need testing. Stu Hagen

Anyone seen this - http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?444569-Stock-twins-replacement-upgrade-Hybrid-GT28R-s Would these last at say 1.4 - 1.5 bar of boost? I'm thinking you would also need ECU, injectors, cams etc. Looking for reliable power at a higher level than BPU but want to stay with the twin setup.

Anyone got a link to Jevensio's thread with the pics if there is one?

What is it about the Crawley and Horsham area for spotting Supras. I have seen 5 in the last month round this area but not spotted one anywhere else! It's not as if I don't go anywhere, I'm a truck driver Saw an amazing looking wide body Silver one on the M23 today about 1730, reg was PIL **** Is there a secret colony of Supras somewhere in Sussex?

I've just got home, what did he say? OP Feel bad for you mate, it's a sort of catch 22. I would still consider keeping it and then saving up small amounts every month, then maybe after a year or so you could fix it.

Coming from an Integra Type R you get lots of people trying to have a go because they know the reputation the car has for being quicker than a 1.8 should be. Looks like it will be more of the same in the Supra !

I do this too, but 'interestingly' the bass and treble can be on an odd number and that won't bother me. Volume, heater and vents are tightly controlled !!

Seen a few people talking about replacing the OEM standard seats with the OEM Recaro's. A better option might be to get hold of some Recaro Profi-spg or pole position bucket seats with alloy side mounts. From what I can work out, the buckets are 6.5kg each and the alloy side mounts are 1.5kg each. Does anyone know the weight of the OEM Recaro's with the runners? From what I can see you would save 21kgs going the bucket seat route from the standard seats using the info at the top of this thread

You won't get them down at Halfords!

Like your work mate, I might buy that hypertune pleneum just for the way it looks Don't care if it does anything, just sit and stare at it all day !

Hi guys, looking to get some of these, apparantly they lower the rear 42mm and the front 36mm. Seems quite a drop for the standard shocks to cope with. Can anyone comment on the handling after fitting these as I know too much lowering on standard shocks can cause the handling to be worse? Thanks Jon

Probably could go to 1500 incl tyres
