heeey guys

 

i finally managed it ,,

last night a friend of mine was racing with a SS and the SS went in front and then he was like i want the Supra..

and i was like done deal ..

i did race with him and i smoked the S*** out of him :)

but ,,,,

i opened the Exhaust (dunno if i spelled it right) hahah

from the down pipe..

and the car was flying today,,

there was no comparing with him..

i figured its from the exhust system now..

and i put the simslick tires..

the boost was steady on 25psi..

i opened it and i raced right away ,,

couldn't really catch the excat psi but i saw it was 25psi haha ..

it feels so goood..

i will test it today with last weeks SS..

the one wo race with NOS..

will see how it goes ..

thanks for the tips guys ..

i know Nic answered me in the 2nd post..

it will cost alot to do so ,,

i dunno how much HP in my car is ..

but i know its good enough to kick some a** here so far ,,

i will keep trying things on it to go on higher boost and spool it faster with the stuff i have in it at the moment ,,

i might ,, when i get $$ in hand do some work on the head ..

but i think everything is there so far ,,

and i want to get the maximum of the car with what it has..

i have the video with me,,

in order to share it here i need to put it in youtube,,

there is any other way to upload it directly here ?!!!

 

hope all are good ,,

 

cheers

If you can't be persuaded to get a proper ecu, and a swirl pot set up that doesn't look like it's from bits from Steptoe's yard, or maybe part ex it for a camel, I can only suggest you buy some good fire extinguishers and a couple of spare engines :) How and why it hasn't blown up or set alight yet I don't know. That's quite the worst "modified" Supra I have seen in some time, and believe me, I have seen some *rap.

:yeahthat: :eek:

Fez, the modifications that have been made to your car are VERY bad and potentially very dangerous - a blown engine or car fire waiting to happen :bang:.

 

The only way you will get a reliable, fast car is to remove all the modified parts and to start again.

thanks guys..

 

i know its not the best modifications i've done on it.

i've been thinking about it a lot..

and how far it will take me with all this..

but i believe it wont last for long..

the thing is ,, am not able to get the parts..

and what i found is what i took, and this was the mistake ,,

i should have planned it right from the begging,,

am looking through projects now..

what's the better one to stick on it and rebuild from zero..

i wanted it to be something,,but its not too late to start from the start again :D

Have you got anywhere competent to line bore and hone the billet main caps? If not I wouldn't even think of using them. It is utterly vital these are done properly and it's a job that needs to be done by a specialized shop with excellent machine tools and tooling.

 

Yeah, thats what I'd do. ;)
