That looks nice. Shame they don't make them anymore.

Could always get a B&B, be much nicer than camping if it rains.

If you want a turbo, then save up mate. the NA-T route can be cheap but not always as reliable. Plus your open to more power alot easier. Being young I know it isn't easy or cheap to get a Supra, alot of insurance companies wouldn't insure my friends being under 25. Remember, a UK Turbo may be as expensive as a Jap import NA! Get quotes, consider your options and ask about you may be surprised. Welcome to the forum

Can you smell fuel? When mine mis-fire's all I can smell is fuel, giving signs of overfueling. Withou an AFR gauge it's hard to tell the signs.

Hello You've come to the right place for information. The search bar is your best friend it's helped me loads of times. Any particular model your after?

To be fair, that should be your next route when you've got the charger sorted. I reckon that would be alot easier though. Maybe not as easy as expected, with that custom overhead intake the manifold might sit the turbo a bit high. Plus might be overkill for a daily at that point. If you need anything CNC turned give me a shout

If you arrange that meet up Wales if I get mine sussed I'll grab some dimensions off you when I come up for sure. Depending on how it looks I'd be tempted to carbon wrap it to reduce that plastic look. Depending on how ductile it will be, it would be great to carbon weave the whole lot and give it that offical carbon look. Though it might be expensive. Time will tell, I'll update my thread as I work on it. Need to update it!

Ok, sounding like material selection has been made, opinions? I've asked for a quote for delivered. I need to double check the dimensions will cover it, should do the job though. Reply email from company: I would image is was Embossed Polyprop which we hold at the Bristol Depot 2440x1220x3mm £30.00 plus vat 2440x1220x4.5mm £39.10 plus vat

Car looks ace wile.

I agree. But I think this is only due to the small amount of information on them. If more people go down that road, maybe it would be a more viable option. Like the XS components. It may take a while, but with information to help back the product up it will hopefully turn into a reliable option, as well as being classed as an underdog it would hopefully not be considered a cheap and cheerful 2nd best, like Emanage against standalones, it serves its purpose just a product doing its job well even where more premium products may do better and squeeze that little bit more from a setup. The worst case situation, the ECU flops and people learn from this mistake and help future people. Sadly the only people I know running un-common ECU's keep their dyno print outs under cover. If I go down this road, I will try and compare my EMU at 7psi against the same psi with a different swap over ECU. We need more comparisons while considering the cost as well. In my opinion, too many sources point to piggy backs for the NA-T's. It would be great to see a sudden rise in NA-T's running standalones as this is an area without a huge amount of information in comparison. Would be great to see NA-T setups on most of the ECU's listed.

I think the problem is the following trend. Without much information, there isn't a huge amount to compare. There isn't alot of megasquirt ECU's on this forum. Syvecs is a proven product which is why it's such an obvious choice, proven time and time again with great results. But there's always different options depending on application. I think with the wide range of ECU's on the market, there will always be more than one option for good reliable power. One brand of ECU didn't invent BHP, it just depends what options you want, and what your chosen mapper can work with. It's like turbo's, they may run forever but they may not. You get what you pay for. I would say set yourself a limit of power requirements, and spend as much as you can afford. We'd all love top of the range products. But without unlimited funds why not try and look into the depths of different ECU's. You may need more research and a more specialised route, but the more effort you put in the easier the choice will become. This is a good thread, and peoples experiences with the more un-common ECU's will help people decide if those ECU's will provide for their application and how reliable they can be, or not as the case may be. Alot of people look for ultimate emanage's for NA-T setups, where as the blue is cheaper and can still supply the goods power wise. Without enough information to back up reliability for new setups people won't follow that trend of always looking for ultimates and not the blue. I'm up for trying new ideas and seeing what I can get from lower end ECU's (on the price range) to see what I can achieve. With a cheaper engine to replace, it would be easier for an NA-T owner to take that risk. I wouldn't be so tempted if I owned a GTE lump. Ryan doesn't even map ultimate ECU's anyway now, so I'll need a new option to swap to coils. For the power I want, megasquirt seems like an option I'd like to consider. This doesn't mean its the best, or I think it's going to rip the road apart. I just think it's the best route for my application going on information I have gathered and read on the internet. I went on online information when buying most of my NA-T parts, and didn't have any issues, so I'm hoping I can have the same success using online information as a reference once again. Like I said, it depends on the application and what features you want. Each setup is different. And the ECU may not always get the best out of the selected components. I know with a better ECU I could easily get more from my engine.

I'm up for a road trip Jon

Be easier to cover the edge I reckon.

While at japfesto, I saw a car with a plastic front splitter. Does anyone know of any decent plastic materials that may be suitable for such a jog as I'm in talk with a company at the moment and feel a few suggestions to material type may help. With keeping the plastic tough, durable but also allowing for possible deformation. Ideas welcome, thanks.

Are the twirls for sale?

got yourself into an article parry well done mate!

If you still have this, might be worth messaging jekyl.

Lol which bit of the M5 was this dude? Yea the number plate came off having a play with a certain TT that won't be named. Dude the check flag was waved and it was a cool down lap! The astra over took me as there is NO OVER TAKING when that flag has been waved and your told to have a slow lap I did wonder what he was doing naughty boy. No one seemed to notice the flag being waved apart from me. I was worried about doing something stupid, maybe with some better tyres and brakes I'll have more confidence to push a bit harder next time

I know the sump gets hot, but will it get hot enough to damage hosing to the top of the wastegate? I've not checked the hosing under the car since turbo, and was just having a look about friday. Thanks

will be attending a fair few down this end i expect. id like to go JAE this year, and hoping to go Supra. wouldn't mind getting some decent tyres and giving the track day attempt another go.

How does having 9.5J+ wide wheels affect handling performance? There must be a point where the width of the tyre actually begins to reduce the benifits of grip by hindering turning performance.

Silly me, must of looked at the photos in the wrong order

I actually prefer it before. Only kidding. Looks amazing mate.

Should of stopped and said hi. Most people noticed my car because of that headlight. Shame it didn't give me better grip around the track lol. I tried coming and saying hi, I'll get you next time!!
