  1. This is great stuff. It's been a while since I've looked into this... I was hoping years ago that someone would try making this work but IIRC it always involved some level of custom software/programming skills and a lot of wiring. I believe Stu "Twin King" Hagen used a Vipec on his hybrid GT28 sequential turbo Supra. Plugin Link ECUs look great. I am definitely giving this a shot at some point. Combining this with a OBD bluetooth dongle would be interesting to see. I've been waiting for JF "ZF" Breton to have TOYOCOM OBD1 dongles back in stock. They offer custom inputs. I really want this to be my next project now. I would have to see how to make it work on export 2JZ-GTE engines (I have a euro spec). Aahh I have so many ideas flowing
  2. Hi everyone, I could have sworn I had an account here but could not find it back. No emails, no posts. Granted it's been a while since I spent time on the Supra and needed online advice. Oh well, time for a 6-year ownership update. Also, are memberships no longer a thing? So tracking back... I saw this thing in 2014. Called the guy, left-hand drive, MT, euro spec (put on the road in Denmark late 1994), stock twins, a few mods here and there... Listed in France, rather good price. I'm French so it was perfect. Teamed up with my brother and ever since we split the costs. OK so we picked it up. Car was quick LOL. Nothing like anything I had driven before. He said he dyno'd it at around 420rwhp. I can't recall how much boost though. None of that single turbo 800bhp stuff but still pretty fast for me! Anyway, super comfy on the motorway, sounded great, but LOUD. We couldn't keep the car like that. Insurance, french MOT... exhaust was the main problem. Wheels and possibly intercooler too. We wanted to make it a nice, fast factory-looking cruiser. It was a good deal. First thing I did was replacing the intercooler by a stock-mount one. Without good core construction and most importantly, proper cooling air intake design, an aftermarket IC can only be bad. THERE I SAID IT. What the owner installed had none of that. If Mr Wilson is still around, I'd like to let him know that it still holds strong. I'm just going to link an imgur post, I hope it's OK. I don't wanna spam pictures here, there's a lot. https://imgur.com/a/GWRLQ0n Please please please let me know if you see anything wrong on any of the pictures, thanks. Alex
