  1. I think like everyone else we all have a soft spot for the R34GTR. But when I do the comparison between the Supra and R34, it came down to the curves of the Supra and also the interior is way better than the R34. I love how the dash wraps around the driver in the Supra.

     

    If I could own both, I would but I wouldn't sell the Supra to get a R34

  2. I went for this one, only £25 from halfords so not expensive, been using it for well over a year and had no problems :)

    My dad has that one but his one stopped working after a year but i guess its like anything. Anything can break or stop working at any time.

     

    This one works absolutely fine as a trickle charger, quite sophisticated for the price too, samples and charges as required and unlike many others on the market it still uses a transformer, rather than a switch mode PSU.

    I was looking at this earlier. I have a toolstation nearby and can pick one up later. Have you or anyone used this?

    Trying to google reviews on it but nothing is coming up so far.

  3. 540cc won't do you for a single turbo. Are you building this on a severe budget? If so, I would advise against it.

     

    What Scott said. What BHP are you planning on running if you go single?

    540CC injectors would probably see you are 450bhp or a little more but you dont want the injectors to max out.

    If you tell people your power goal we should be able to advise you on what size injectors to get.

  4. Dunno what you're on about Nic, mine only took 4 years :D

     

    Four year well worth it :thumbs:

     

    I remember when I first joined the forum and your Supra is one of those I admire and still do. Plus you give me a dummy's guide on boost controller through PM lol

     

    That's when I had no idea what I am doing and new to the scene and being in the forum since 2010 has gave me the knowledge I need to go single which I did last year.

     

    But to be fair I still dont really know what I am doing :D This forum is a really good place to learn about the Supra's and the 2JZ GTE/GE engines

  5. True, however it allowed me to do it in my time with spreading the cost. Thats why I was considering engine swap. Was trying to get in touch with Keron(apparently he is the right man for the job) but at the moment no success, he may be very busy or holiday etc. If I would get quote from him that would be helpful or maybe there is somebody else on the forum who does it as well?

     

    He can be very busy. Did you try ringing him? I think the going rate is around £2500 - 3000 for engine swap but If you speak to Keron he may be able to confirm that.

    I've always got through when I ring but PM's, he can be slow sometimes :)

  6. Many thanks for the kind offer. I do actually have it available to me through work, I've just never bothered to install it lol. It's funny as I curse myself for not installing it everytime I want to use it but as soon as I'm finished the task I forget about it again :D

     

    Ah I see. I got a copy and it was one of those if I had a spare moment I will learn it and I never got around to it lol

  7. Welcome to the club.

     

    have a look on the forum for the information you need. More than likely it would have been covered if not ask and I am sure members will answer your questions :)
