marc_p Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 All the pictures of stock turbos I can find are like the below in a duel fin arrangement: Yet when looking at the ones I took off my car, they are in a triple fin arrangement: Am I being completely stupid here or is something amiss in the world of my Supra??

DaveR Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 That's the SPECIAL turbo. Whoever finds it wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Triple fin turbos were designed specifically to make Burna's car look ridiculously slow. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Possibly hybrid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen triple blades like that on any turbo before :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Possibly hybrid? This is what I thought but mainly down to the behaviour of them, they pulled seriously strong, 295 Potenza's were breaking traction sometimes in 3rd when 2nd turbo came online, if it was cold or damp it would break traction in 4th aswell. Only issue is now I'm going single these will be for sale but I don't want to sell as hybrids if they are not. I don't think I've ever seen triple blades like that on any turbo before :/ I know, it's bizarre isn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Even missing a cylinder I still beat his TT It does explain a lot though dude, when we were going to Mallo's and back when I was round your's I couldn't believe how much your car pulled when the 2nd turbo kicked in!!

thetrashcanman Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Did you ever go BPU with those turbos mate, what boost where you running? And do they have 3 bolts or 4 bolts to attach to the manifold? Also could have been they have been re built like that, but does seem odd Edited June 24, 2013 by thetrashcanman (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If they was both full bpu and you beat him like that, them turbos are something special indeed and I wouldnt waste my money on a single unless aiming for over 600bhp, Just a quick note do you have a afr gauge to see if you are running lean?

Chris Wilson Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 One's been rebuilt with a different compressor wheel I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is there anyway to prove if they are hybrids or not? I think we have gathered they are not standard and whatever was done to them was done in Japan, engines covered around 72,000 miles so not exactly high mileage, so I can't of seen them being rebuilt due to wear when I got it(it would have been sub-60k).
