  1. Although saying that, if anyone wants one here is my web link! http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-body-kits-styling-apr-p-1354.html
  2. I'm really not trying to sell them honest, just passing on my findings...
  3. I ran my car up the strip with the wing attached, lighting the tyres up through 1st and 2nd gears as to be expected with 1200bhp and did a 141mph terminal speed which I thought was a bit low for the power the engine is currently putting out. So I removed the APR rear wing, did a run and had wheel spin in 3rd gear, backed off. Did another run with the traction control turned up a bit higher, again it lit the tyres up in 3rd gear but I kept my foot in and stuck it into 4th gear, same again, lit the tyres up and sent it sideways at 130mph which was highly entertaining! Next run I put the wing back on and I had no wheel spin in 3rd gear. So proof is in the pudding, it works as you can see, without it my car would be undriveable. Anyone wanting more traction these do actually work.
  4. I'm about to release my own "budget" FMIC kit, its going to be an exact copy of the now discontinued Greddy LS intercooler, when I say exact copy, its from the same manufacturer that used to make it for Greddy. Price should be around £300 + VAT as well! Let me know if your interested.
  5. I have a template for K-Sport I can email you if needed?
  6. I have Gates Racing cambelts in stock, £70 + VAT. Tensioner and pulley you can see here http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-engine-components-toyota-parts-c-42_47_815_845.html
  7. Auto or manual? And what year is the car?
  8. Yeah much better with one of those attached, for setting them up at least, I keep them in stock as well. 3D version coming soon to.
  9. Exactly the same as I was getting with my car, my next port of call was to change the master cylinder so looks like my hunch was right. Cheers for that.
  10. Were you getting clutch drag Steve?
  11. I have a low mileage twin wastegate manifold with 2x 45mm Turbosmart wastegates available if needed, that and a used GT4088R (which has just had a rebuild with a new ex housing) would make a great combo. Let me know if your interested.
  12. I sell there products now http://whifbitzperformancetuning.co.uk/toyota-supra-supra-diffgearbox-axle-driveshaft-shop-p-5933.html
  13. Cheers mate, if your ever down this way let me know and I'll take you out in it
  14. Just need to get some flexi silicon hose so you can run it under the manifold, haven't got any pics I'm afraid though.
  15. There is yes, just need to find some time to edited it.
  16. Yesterday, the world famous Garage Whifbitz Supra made an easy 1178bhp on pure Shell V-power straight out of the pumps. More impressively this was only running a relatively low 1.9 bar boost. I decided to make a headline power figure not so long ago as the car isn’t being used for Time Attack this year so have a bit more time for doing things like this. The only changes made to the car was to remove the GT4094/42 hybrid which is used when in circuit spec and replaced with a Bullseye Power S383 Batmowheel 83mm turbo. Plus the car is now running 2000cc ID injectors as the 1000cc were to small along with an increase in exhaust diameter to 4” with minimal silencing. As you can see from the dyno below the figures are pretty impressive and because of the Garage Whifbitz twin scroll/twin wastegate manifold setup the lag isn’t that bad, its still very useable on the street. Unfortunately when going for more boost the car picked up a small misfire which was due to a faulty injector. It made 1219bhp at 2.4 bar but this isn’t a true figure as the Syvecs ecu detected knock on cylinder 2 and briefly shut it down to protect the engine from melt down. Amazing ECU and very highly recommended. More power to come very soon when I have a replacement injector. On the road the car feels stupidly fast, easily the fastest thing I've been in and driven, 1178bhp with around 1250kg. I think it scared Ryan a bit! Suprising thing is the grip the car has, I was expecting it to be lighting the tyres up but it doesn't, just hooks up and grips. 3rd gear full power runs are no problem at all, I know the Toyo R888 tyres help a bit but I think the OS Giken Spec X diff is helping here as well, makes all the difference. Big thanks to Ryan G at 2 Bar Tuning for his superb mapping skills as always. Below are the wheel figures
  17. Personally I would fit the idle valve back on, makes it more user friendly. You'll probably find the connector lurking underneath the manifold somewhere. Best bet would be to mount the idle valve underneath the manifold for neatness, that's what we normally do with the Greddy manifolds.
  18. Yes you can, it's 1/8 npt, most pressure sensors will be this thread so it should screw straight in.
