jamesmark Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hold a magnet to the blades I believe and if the magnet sticks then they could well be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambie Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i only ask because when i last had it dyno`d it showed 383bhp at .8bar because i had a boost controller without the screen so could not adjust but have since fitted a greddy eo1 and am now at 1.2 bar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 383bhp @ .8 bar is that possible? even on hybrids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 how can you tell if you have hybrids or standard turbo`s on your car without taking them all apart If they're as laggy as fook they're probably hybrids. Hold a magnet to the blades I believe and if the magnet sticks then they could well be.It's only the turbine (exhaust side) that is ceramic though. 383bhp @ .8 bar is that possible? even on hybrids?

gambie Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 i have the print out everyone there was surprised including me Jody from interpro admits its rapid but as i am the first owner here from a private import i am not sure if there are any engine mods apart from what i have in my garage not even sure what size injectors i am running am waiting for dave to recover so he can set it up correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambie Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 If they're as laggy as fook they're probably hybrids. if that means there is a delay then they must be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Sorry but unless you've got a single turbo conversion under the bonnet there's no way you're making 380+ bhp at 0.8 bar. Hang on though... Interpro you say? That's Interpro of the famous 33% drive train losses is it? Hmmm, that would make it what, 255rwhp? Yeah that'll be it. Mystery solved.

Homer Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 i have the print out everyone there was surprised including me Jody from interpro admits its rapid but as i am the first owner here from a private import i am not sure if there are any engine mods apart from what i have in my garage not even sure what size injectors i am running am waiting for dave to recover so he can set it up correctly 0.8bar and 383bhp is a joke, you've been duped. A small single would struggle to get that. Edit - or as Jake says, the interpro magic rolling road will be the reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hang on guys this was done at TSR RR?... Not Interpro, its nevr been on ours... They guys doing the RR didnt know how to dyno a Supra and Gambies first run was somewhere like 480! They had Standard NA Autos doing 280, My car was much faster yet only produced 222! (Its a Manual) This car is quick, but i wouldnt say any quicker than the next BPU car... It is nice though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
