MKIV Headaches

Solus · 10-01-2009, 08:39 AM

Well I finally decided to start up on the Supra. It was almost completely jdm stock when I bought it. All it had was a bbk. So yesterday it went to the shop.

3.5" HKS Dragger Exhaust
Custom down-pipe and mid-pipe
Blitz boost controller and turbo timer
HKS BOV

I already had the boost controller and turbo timer. To build the down and midpipe, sell me the bov and the exhaust, install all of it and dyno it i paid $1040.. pretty good deal if you ask me.

Before putting anything on it I had it dyno'd and knew it would be low being JDM because they detune them like crazy over in Japan. It only pulled like 180rwhp on the dyno. After it was all on there it was only pulling like 240... and spiking like crazy, opened it up.. plugs are trashed... replaced them ran it again and 341rwhp and 352tq. It would have been higher but it is hitting boost cut at about 17psi and i have to put a fuel cut controller on it (that is going down today). Once i can get a pic or scan of the dyno I will post it.

It's an imported JDM model? What year? 6spd or auto?

I'd also love to see pictures and more info on this car

94 RHD TT Hardtop Auto. I know I know everyone thinks I should have gotten a 6 speed or do a swap but I want to drag race it so I have every intention on it staying an auto. I am saving up for a tranny for it now. The one I am getting has a 4k stall on it and is completely built. I will try to put up some pics or take a video and post it to youtube or something. I am not all that computer savvy so be patient w/ me lol

These are the ones off my phone. I will be taking more later probably tonight or tomorrow. I will see if I can get some video uploaded as well.

Well she ran 13.2 last night

Very nice, I wanted one bigtime a few years ago. A few minor mods and you will see mid-low 12's easy. Auto actually runs great times in that car.

Solus · 10-04-2009, 03:42 AM

Yeah i need to get my front mount for it and a torque converter and new tires and mid 12's will be cake.
