DaveR Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Bloody hell! How many Supras does one man need...?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Drool indeed, I spent so long looking at this beauty they made me a brew The electrics looked, errr, a bit daunting. I thought they were fast lorries, but it was deceptively rapid round Donington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 That's how the turbo will sit Chris, I'm not the first to do it, plenty of room between the engine and rad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Looks like a great little project. Should go pretty hard, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Cheers, it's got some nice parts, very handy that it already has a link stand alone ECU fitted, also uk brakes all round, brand new uk head lights, sebion bonnet is the best fitting carbon bonnet I've seen, I'm going to spray it black though and fit a RMM front lip. Got a few parts I need sorted, got a new tail 46mm WG coming from Dan, Ryan is sorting me out some 7M injectors, putting a Bosch 044 in the tank, main things I need are updated clutch and turbo.

j_jza80 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Nice You should buy that NA with the Nur wide body and drop all the running gear in, you'd have two almost identical looking Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Nice You should buy that NA with the Nur wide body and drop all the running gear in, you'd have two almost identical looking Supras I cant be arsed with the work tbh Jason, the idea of the Thor car is to keep things simple and use it a lot with out worrying about chipping the paint, its very quiet also so going to try and get on track asap.

j_jza80 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Sounds like a great project, will be good to see how the R154 copes. What brakes is it running? - edit- just read Uks all round, that's a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Watching this with a lot of interest Is Lee (or one of his contractors) making up the manifold and exhaust piping for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just bagged a Precision Billet 6765, nearly there on the parts front. Where, i could be doing with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee's fabricator with be doing it with Lee showing him where everything needs to be so they can get the ic piping etc all nice and neat. I think they should make a kit myself, i can see these engines becoming very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 That's how the turbo will sit Chris, I'm not the first to do it, plenty of room between the engine and rad. Yeah, that's where fearless has his aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Another question Jamie (tell me to shut up if you want ) Are you planning on any engine mods (apart from fueling of course) before putting the turbo on, or just going to do it and see if it holds up?

JamieP Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Another question Jamie (tell me to shut up if you want ) Are you planning on any engine mods before putting the turbo on, or just going to do it and see if holds up? Fearless and others seem to be doing ok so im just going to see what happens mate, the engines are so plentiful and cheap its not the end of the world if it lets go, as i say, Noel has loads of them in his yard.

Blackie Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 What does it go like? is it stupidly quick? (Before the turbo goes on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 What does it go like? is it stupidly quick? (Before the turbo goes on) Its not bad, nice low down grunt that tails off as the revs climb, similar performance to a stock tt id say, Great upgrade for any na.
