Anybody hear anything about the Boost Logic SupraTT Compound Turbo Kit? Nothing on Supra Forums either; sounds ideal http://www.titanmotorsports.com/bolosucotuki.html

I am sure Chris Wilson is in there somewhere LOL A very young and not so fat Ross Brawn, I taught he would be far too young back then! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjvgmfPoJ5M

It worked out about 400 euro delivered , I didn't get stung by customs though 165 dollars for shipping and 385 for the Radiator; they are in stock too; 550 USD

Titan Motorsports, arrived in 4 days MVP and titan both recommended the Koyo, I asked them independently what they recommend , good to see they both agreed on Koyo! I asked about the Ver2 Mishimoto units but guys in the US still had fitment issues and rad cap leaks, drain plug leaks ; for the sake of an extra 40 euro I pulled the trigger on a Koyo. Glad I did! I know Mishimoto has a lifetime warranty but if you are having to avail of it all the time , the rad is useless. I did a lot of research on the Rads , 10+ hours, work is slow LOL As far as I know, this is the only rad made outside of china and Koyo is very transparent in their manufacturing process http://koyoradracing.com/faq.asp#wheremanufacturered http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?702092-Mishimoto-Rad-Ver2-Koyo-Xline

I got the Koyo Radiator, difference in quality is night and day Cooling fins are ridged , not like the ebay unit you can manipulate with your finger https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-gj0IMvIlmCc/UjtFMk3aa3I/AAAAAAAABu8/bJuP3a08xd8/w777-h583-no/20130919_193626.jpg https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ml_zqWVqgN8/UjtFIOvUdHI/AAAAAAAABuw/TEgJTaj7XKc/w777-h583-no/20130919_193618.jpg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EtnjLKrV2tk/UjtFPCFdZUI/AAAAAAAABvI/4lkE54iqYoI/w777-h583-no/20130919_193602.jpg https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fiCaZEe64dM/UjtEiRM9xbI/AAAAAAAABtw/Wg-RWziEsvM/w777-h583-no/20130919_193522.jpg

Do i get the rights to it Ian, considering I started the thread LOL

Some info from Supra Forums, I didnt realise the engine head was so advanced The BMWs performance has a lot to do with the engine not just the turbos that are on it. The 2J is ancient technology compared to the newer BMW straight six engines, dual variable valve timing, valvetronic sytems, direct injection and so on. MW has gone one step further and re-designed the V8. They've moved the exhaust valves and outlets on the inside of the cylinder heads thus making a shorter path for a spontaneous response. Their latest turbo development has been to utilize the "scavenging effect" and pair up the cylinders so that the exhaust pulses don't interfere with each other. In other words only 2 non-interfering cylinders per each path. In theory this produces a very efficient and smooth spool of the turbos. The BMW M5 F10 S636Tu gas powered V8 Twin Turbo develops 500ft/lbs at 1500RPM!...and maintains 500ft/lbs torque to apprx.5800RPM! http://m-power.com/imageDispatcher.jsp?folder=varlink2&image=thumbs/Open_2516_5896.jpg

I had a go in the new Audi A6 3 litre twin turbo diesel ; seriously fast, I think it has 550 ft/lb of torque

For me, in Ireland (even worse than the UK roads) definitely I am after response over top end power or XXX mph; Torque is more important than BHP IMO; the GTX35R was on my radar but also the equivalent Precision turbo setup. With these , mixing and matching setups/Manufacturers it can be hit & miss , never mind $$$; a tried and tested route is always a good way to go. Marty is currently testing/running a T04z hotside matted to a GT45r on a tubular SS manifold for the last 2 years But the latest M135i setup transitioned to our cars would make them even more drive-able as an everyday car in traffic, on the motorway but still be something serious to contend with. Then again it maybe cheaper in the long run just to get a M135i or a GTR lol Interesting how it will fair out, some serious amount of $$$ is going into R&D; hopefully we should see it trickle down to the aftermarket tuning in the near future. I just hope they don't start using just electronically controlled wastegates, nightmare with any turbo or wastegate issues and $$$$ to fix. This will take our models out of scope for the latest technology

The car is old technology at this stage and we came to the conclusion cost of R&D versus return would not make it feasible for a company to implement; hopefully we are wrong!

I am sure you could get a more responsive small single but I presume it will run out of poof up the top before BPU with Sequentials; This was the conundrum I find with single, you either have low end responsiveness and lack top end , have top end and lack low down responsiveness; compromise and BPU is more responsive

I dont know, maybe you could use the OEM manifiold? Just a taught , if the units are of similar size but billets so can run higher boost

Was talking to Marty during the Anniversary meet and was asking him about turbo choices, best compromise over BPU, high/low turbo power band setups. He said he drove the new Straight 6 Bmw 1 Series 135i and said the setup was fantastic, i know Chris Harris raves about the car. I was telling him I want a responsive setup I can use in the real world, I am not looking for BHP figs, I couldn't car less but I want the car to perform well on the public road, it is driven there 99% of the time. BPU is the ideal setup we can get right now, you do loose low down grunt when you go single compared to BPU, but Marty suggested the ideal setup would be to transition the latest technology used in the BMW I series for example to the Supra and retain the sequential setup. I know Stu Hagen in the states has the 28r sequential hybrid setup but this is old school technology; my question is , with F1 and the big league players going forced induction between now and 2016; forced induction technology R&D will drastically get better and better. Does anybody see this technology getting transitioned to the Supra, a twin turbo setup with small CEA billet turbo's; the ultimate street kit!

Anybody install the new Version 2 Radiator from Mishimoto? I read a lot of threads on Supra Forums, Ver1 had fitment issues. Is the Xline worth the extra? and what are members opinions compared to the Koyo Radiator? Koyo is coming in at 100 euro more expensive than a Mishimoto X-line

Come on, what is this amateur hour! lol BOBFOC -- Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch , classic

As far as I know

90% are around the Antrim, Crumlin area AFAIK

Some Info off MVP and Titan , might be useful for members, KOYO Radiator seems to be a winner My Q : What radiator do you recommend for the 2jzgte? MVP Koyo is consistently the best , Mishimoto has the best warranty and is overall very good but in Ireland you can’t really utilize the warranty. Fluidyne we had a lot of issues with and stopped carrying. Titan I would recommend a Koyo Radiator for your Supra.

I was looking at detailed pics of the other branded rads last night and to be honest the cores, look identical inside and out but at 2-3 times the price The mishimoto xline off mvp, caught my eye as it has a lifetime warranty

Is it normal you can move them with one finger up very very easily , compared to my rad and Greddy intercooler they are nowhere near as rigid; maybe I am being too critical Trust me , I don't want to spend 500 euro on a rad, but I want something that will last me

Not blaming you ha ha Was just disappointed with the quality ; My friend Ian has the ARC rad , not too sure what mine is but its copper and 3 core and quality is worlds apart I was also reading up abput the other aluminium rads 2-3 times the price as ASI and they also people are also surprised with quality considering the price I reckon they are all made in China, a lot to be said for EU and US fabricated items but everything seems to be made in China , designed in the UK

That's what I have john, read your threads!
