Jake Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Carl, What's the big deal with keeping the active spoiler anyway? Can you honestly tell any difference in the handling when it's up or down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 CJ's car is an auto. . I had passenger seat blast when he was running the E-Manage & a T67 ... it was very lively. It doesn't have a stock torque converter though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Carl, What's the big deal with keeping the active spoiler anyway? Can you honestly tell any difference in the handling when it's up or down? nah. If it wasn't for fear of catching on speedbumps, I'd keep it down all the time! My car is a daily driver though and I do work miles every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Why do you say that ? Well, I don't often go above 4krpm whilst doing daily miles through towns and stuff. I'd feel more benefit from the 2k - 4k power than anything above 4k. Lots of stop-start driving, and going above 4k tends to mean i'm flying up to 60mph which I try to refrain from doing in 30 - 40mph zones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 I realise that sounds like a bit of a contradiction to my initial post, but the point is that I don't want a car that's shit slow until 40mph. I want to add power at the top end but I don't want to lose it at the bottom end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 The RS6 is an extremely fast car, you will NOT match it with a grand or two of bolted on bits! The RS6 costs something like £60k new and its that price for good reason. Huge HP and factory reliability cost a lot of money, only a very well built up supra will match it.

Darren Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I need more power. My car is a fully 3" decatted UK spec auto with an RS*R GT2, hitting 17.5psi absolute max, more routinely 16psi. I have still not fitted my Thor FCD (or removed the MAP sensor), so I have to lift off slightly after ~1.5 sec of >15psi boost alarm. Any thoughts people? Try fitting the FCD and running at 1.3bar theres quite a difference between 1.0 bar and 1.3 bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 And lets hope if you go BPU and then see him again that he has not though the same thing. I think it's AMDteknic that have 600 bhp demo one thats only BPU+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Twin side-mount intercoolers? Now where've I heard that before (migster ) http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/08/rs602_engine.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Try fitting the FCD and running at 1.3bar theres quite a difference between 1.0 bar and 1.3 bar. Well apparently I can just block off the MAP.. or MAF sensor, since the car's a UK spec. Should be more straight-forward and easily reversible.

Now where've I heard that before (migster ) http://www.rsportscars.com/foto/08/rs602_engine.jpg Did not say it was my invention. just had the idea of doing it in a Supra My head might be full of ideas like that since I used to work for VAG and Porsche main agents . And you know what they say imitation is the best form of flatery ....Damn why did i not steal a couple fo bits when i worked there. Doesnt matter I wont do any of them ..I'm far too lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well below 1.0 bar and hitting the fuel cut is seriously limiting you. At stock boost at least you can max it out. Hitting fuel cut you just can't. I'll tell you what run a stock supra next to a too freely boosting supe with no FCD and see who wins a race. The stock one will win. You want more affordable audi estate whoopass consider the audi rs2 estate which is the forerunner of the 4 and 6, same size as the 80 estate.

Miguel Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 All gravy. Seen quite a few good things over the years and I wish I had my toolbox and big pocket coat about at the time. Real supprised that no one has done it on a Supra TBH. Wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember we have a seq. twin turbo.. that audi will have parallel turbos so one intercooler per turbo would be easy on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Well below 1.0 bar and hitting the fuel cut is seriously limiting you. I'm not exactly 'well below 1.0 bar'. I have got the nack of lifting off to 13.5 psi, which is 0.93bar.. not that much different is it? I think I'll plumb up the MAP (or is it MAF?) sensor tomorrow.. anyone know of any howtos for doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Its only like that cost its a V engine layout. Think about it, its like having 2, 3-cyl turbo charged engines stuck together thats all. A FMIC would be fine for your supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A FMIC would be fine for your supe I know, I was just saying to Migster that I think that might be why no-one has done it to a Supra - because it's not straightforward like it is on a V-engine/parallel-turbo setup.
