Luxluc Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 I think for top speed type events your aerodynamics is hurting your terminal speeds , drag increases at a square of the speed and the last 200 meters speed is high , a few small changes and speeds would increase - its much cheaper and easier than chasing horsepower . I expect theres 5 mph in those wing mirrors alone I flipped the mirrors to the inside for 1 race mate .... no noticable difference though - - - Updated - - - Awesome Luc, looks like you had a pretty successful season Thank you mate.

Luxluc Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 After discussions with Lee, he will order parts and start working on the VVTi head. We agreed on the following : - Stage 5 VVTi head (oversized valves) - shimless buckets - Ferrea component - Kelford 272/278 cams - SRD billet exhaust manifold - Syvecs S6plus (my S6 will be upgraded to S6plus) - Hypertune intake manifold My 6870 Gen2 turbo only did 2000 mls. I'm very happy with the way it performs. The new 7275 Gen2 unit should bring another 100 bhp ... but that would mean traction issues in 3rd gear. I like the fact that I have full traction in 3rd ... which is perfect for me. My goal is 1050 bhp and full boost in 4th gear at 3700 rpm. I will keep you updated Luc - - - Updated - - - Awesome, lovely supra . Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneW Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Great specs to come mate I wish i could sit in your car with you for a little drive one day x) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krister Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I didnt quite understand, are you upgrading to the 7275 or not or just debating if to do it? I think the upgrade will be more then 100bhp and better top end to suite mile and half mile racing. Should be great with the VVTi. I'm sure you've seen this comparison?

I don't think of turbo upgrade yet mate. The 6870 is awesome on the road. A 7275 will give traction issues in 3rd .... something I want to avoid.

Krister Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Why would that be if you for instance have it tuned by boost by gear. I'm sure 6870 smokes the tires on 3rd as well if let to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure 6870 smokes the tires on 3rd as well if let to do it. With my 888 tires, I see full boost in 3rd gear without wheelspin (if the outside temps are 18+°C).

Luxluc Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 SRD have started working on my VVTi head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 My Supra is at SRD HQ since end of September 2018. Lee stripped the block completely down ; over 6 years and over 20k mls on my built block at power levels between 900 and 1000+ bhp left some wear. The block has been bored to 87mm now ; Lee installed Carillo HD rods, Manley 9:1 pistons, billet main caps. The VVTi head is worked so SRD Stage 5. The Hypertune intake manifold was made crackle black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Before starting the works on my Supra, Lee put the Supra on the dyno end of September. I was impressed with the result: 1069 bhp and 766 ftlbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Cricky that's some winter pick me up Congratulations on the results prior to rebuilding, just goes to show a properly built engine will last. Still great to see people pushing these to the limit, expensive hobby though I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Here 2 nice videos of this summer races. I did 2nd place in July, and 3rd place during the finals. 2 round in July 2018 Finals in September 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I asked Lee to replace my old HKS exhaust manifold by Lee's new billet SRD exhaust manifold ... they look like a work of art. I will post pics as soon as the manifold in mounted. On my previous setup, boost dropped considerably above 7200 rpm. With the SRD exhaust manifold and the Hypertune intake, boost should stay stable up to the 8200 rpm rev limiter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Some pics of the races. During the finals, I ran for the first time 15" drag radials on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
