I'm back home and pretty pleased with everything so far. A big thanks to Ryan and the guys at SPC Horsham for all they did today. Ryan started out wiring in all the ABS and Traction wires, and the switches for all those things. Then he went for a drive to have a look at the map that the guys at SPC put on. They mapped the car as an NA by removing the pipes from the intake and it did 180hp. Nice to know if the pipes pop off I will still be able to drive home comfortably. There were a few issues through the day, but we ironed most of them out and the car is pulling like a freight train. The power is good and comes on really fast and the torque is unreal. It looked like my car wanted to climb out of the dyno cell!! The result: 553HP - 510ftlb (I don't have the exact torque figure but it was just over 510) ...... Not bad for 1.4 bar. We only got 3 or 4 runs before the tyres started wheel spinning on the dyno, and I'm happy with 553hp. I've attached a photo of the dyno sheet. The one in red (553.5) is the final figure, although the car was mapped by SPC Horsham (the first time they'd ever attempted a Solaris) and got 573hp and 562hp at 1.5 bar, but Ryan thought it was running slightly lean so pulled it back a bit. Better to be safe than sorry You can see where Ryan tuned the VVTI slightly and the power and torque curves come in harder and earlier. The ECU needs replacing as it has a bug and Ryan will change it at the SRR dyno day on the 6th Dec for a new one. The bug is that there is no Traction Control available on this board. I might need that The ECU on the day also required a firmware update that fixed a few issues with voltages. The car was kangerooing when you lifted off but after the firmware was updated that was fine. The reason there are a few ECU issues is that I purchased this from Ryan a while ago so it's been sat in the cupboard with no updates etc. We couldn't do the launch control as it was raining Not such a good idea. The flywheel seems to be on it's way out (seemed fine at BPU but the increase in power and torque has it acting up a bit). There is also a bearing noise in the gearbox that isn't there in 5th (when the box is at 1:1). We're slowly ironing out the bugs but one step at a time. The issue with the breather was resolved by shortening the filter and cutting a hole in the bonnet skin. Here's a video that SPC did of the first dyno session: 7fJ-QtQJ2YU The speedo is still in kph which needs resolving. Enjoy

Just to add.... All this has been mentioned before. The search function is your friend......... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php

The blocks are different too. The NA is missing the oil squirters.

The viper read is pretty cool too...

I'll keep you all informed after tomorrow...

He he... just eager to see the finished result. Good work so far!

I think she was too... hitting high notes while smiling at the crowd.... ridiculous.....

Nice. No cam gears? What shocks are those? I thought you were going CW?

Thanks chaps

Me too. I want to keep the VVTI but not too bothered about DBW. Hopefully the DBW works but if not I'll need to get my hands on an intake manifold with ICV and the TB from a non DBW version.... OR http://www.hypertune.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=97&Itemid=91

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the intake manifolds (airflow wise) from non-vvti to vvti. I'm thinking that if the DBW gives issues on Tuesday, I may just rip the intake side off and pop a non-vvti one on.

Sweet. Glad you're not leaving the MKIV. Are you free Tuesday? I'm going to get my car mapped so if you fancy a trip, come along...

Pm me. I have one.

Dude, I can't believe it why?

I'm also still listed as a maybe...

pics?

Is this new or used?

Where is the supra logo if they're brand new... I smell a rat.

I like that racing fairy. What inlet manifold is that?

Nope. 3k fitted is the approximate price with all the parts. PM dude (the chap writing this thread) for a quote.

Just realised I can't make this. I'm at a gig Sorry guys. 1. supraturbochris 2. Jimojameso 3. Missile (stop being a tart and come) 4. Paul372 5. Mitchell 6. Pistonbroke 7. Supra Plant

Screw low cost Do it right. You know you'll regret it if you see those nasty low budget hoses everywhere

That's awesome news. Congrats to both of you!

Nice Kev
