Sorry to read this, once setup correctly a small single supra will be a reliable toy. Maybe try and find a stock engine long block , bung that in for now. Triple plates are normally light so I very much doubt it has anything to do with using the clutch on start up, as far I was aware you only had to watch out when using the heavy duty single plate clutches. But as James says, it's not a good habit to get into.
-
Awesome, love the vin plate also.

It's been a long road, you can't give up now Mike.

With twin open wastegates like on our cars, I doubt you would ever hear the turbo, if I had recirc wastegates then I'd like that. Edit.. I just watched the videos, it is loud.
-
That an all
-
I'd sell anything for the right offer
-
I do feel for you, seems the car is cursed. In the long run, I bet it would work out cheaper sending the car to the uk, get the right company working on it, a supra specialist that works on these cars evey day, fix all issues and road test for a couple of weeks before you collect.
-
Great numbers Mike, look forward to seeing it
-
On open housings I'd agree 1.00 max
-
Even on divided housings? if so that surprises me.
-
That's a bigger turbo, we are talking about 62mm and pump fuel
-
Divide by .85 iirc

Fly

1.00 will be ok, I've got a 1.00ar on my 6266 but i wish I went 1.15. On a stock engine and 1.8 bar, pump fuel I made 580bhp. I think that would would have done 600 with the bigger housing.
-
German Dax is looking really tempting to short right now, never been so high. What do people think?
-
Remember, if its divided then its a lot more restrictive than undivided, so you normally go slightly bigger, for 600bhp id say thats a bit small.
-
I wonder if I could change my centres to them, classics are a pita to clean.
-
Best thing to do, if you see a car you like, put a link to it in this thread, i will give you my honest opinion. if you find anything local to me (beaconsfield) and im not busy, im happy to have a look with you.

VVTI is a lot more lively off boost, feels like a high comp NA when not on boost, turbo will spool up faster, all round better car. wife will be fine driving it, if you have a boost controller you could turn the power down
-
If its a well setup car, built by a respected trader then go for it i say, lots of bodged cars out there built with ebay parts so be careful. Id still try and get a VVTI for the response in town. stock auto box is good for 550ish bhp.
-
Middle of London and using it as a daily, id get a nice clean VVTI triptronic, BPU supra.
-
I think they look stunning!
-
I don't think you would go wrong with either way, if you go cast buy a decent one though. I would go Whifbitz/SRD manifold, they have never been known to crack to date. I read people say the cast manifold cars don't sound good, I've no experience of that though, just going by what i read on the forums.

Should be ok unless you have a facelift with the small diff, donut normally fails if the wheels lock up. thats whats happened every time ive broke a diff. trouble is the prop can then swing about, damaged the floor and took out the handbrake cables on me the last time.
