  1. Yes, I noticed that now. Looks like a Miata though George L Thanks for your compliments on the car. Means alot to me. I havn´t tested it at the strip yet, not with the new turbos anyway. Hopefully I will try it sometime this summer, when the low boost problem is sorted out. Supra_Al It would be great coming to UK with the car If I do, you´ll be the first to get a ride in it (girls do have preference though, but I guess that goes without saying)
  2. Thanks guys! I will do another dyno when I´m able to raise the boost to, at least 1.4 bar.
  3. Hey, I went to Rototest this morning, http://www.rototest.com. The result is both good and bad. My Supra did 413 [email protected] bar of boost and had 535nm rwt The bad news is that right now, I can´t raise the boost any more because of the actuators beeing too weak. The good new is that I think 413 RWHP is pretty darn good at only 1.16 bar of boost, and I find the torque at that boost pressure really, REALLY good. Soon I will have my turbos removed AGAIN and put some stronger actuators with aditional supporting springs to keep the wastegate´s shut at 1.4 bar. Appereantly, my ported manifold is the reason for the stock actuators couldn´t keep up. Too damn good flow. Another Supra got the exact same problem when he had his manifold ported, he couldn´t boost over 1.2 bar. Here are some pics:
  4. Thanks! Yeah, it´s Stillen allright. I have had the Stillen sideskirts too, laying around for over a year now. Perhaps it´s time to put them on The dyno´s will bee extremly exiting
  5. At last! Took it for a test drive yesterday! It has a very smooth feel to it. Didn´t boost more than 1 bar though but it felt really strong. I´m just waiting for electric fans and my BOV to be fitted on the IC pipe leading to the throttle body. A few more week left before I will dyno it. Here´s one pic
  6. It´s the B&M Short shift that some people had trouble with. Nothing like that has been reported with the C´s Short shifter (not that I have heard of anyways) and that´s why I bought it. I have heard that it has a better feel to it too. A friend of mine has the B&M so we will compare them once I get my Supra rollin´.
  7. Oh, and my newly installed C´s shortshift with greddy shift knob. The shortshift feels incredible
  8. My new airfilter from RaidHP. So damn nice IMO
  9. A few updated pictures First the new oil and water hoses I´m missing some of the pipes still. Everything is taking so damn long time
  10. I will uppdate this thread with some pictures tomorrow. Hoping to start the car this weekend, finally.
  11. Terry! I´m going to dyno the car at this company, http://www.rototest.com You can read about their dyno-equipment at their site. I´ll soon be adding more updates to this thread, I hope
  12. I will check with the company that made them, when I come back from France in one week. As for the dyno, we have a few places where you can dyno the car. I don´t know what equipment they have, but when I do dyno the car I will find out. I didn´t know there was a US RWHP and a UK RWHP. What´s the difference?
  13. Andrew Thank you! Your and all others encouragement is very appreciated! Terry S I don´t understand what you mean with what dyno. Do you mean what brand of the dynomachine itself? Please refrase the question and I´ll try to answer. According to the company rebuildning them, the internal is the same as the twin turbos from HKS 2835-kit.
  14. Thanks! Well, they said that each turbo is good for 330 hp. I´m hoping for around 480-500 rwhp to start with thus having the possibility to put out even more if/when I modify my fuelsystem. That is if everything will work as planned, but you never know. Maybe it will be a huge disapointment, I really have no idea how it will work out.
  15. Ok, I took some pictures of the turbos and exhaust manifold fitted. The pipes are being polished and we have measured all oil- and waterlines (steelbraided) so they are soon finished too. Will take more pics as things get ready
  16. I think we can safely say that don´t go for any cheap brands like Hankook, Falken, Continental etc. They don´t have a good grip and will wear very quick. Remember that the tyres are the only contact your Supra has to the road
