Turbo back exhaust, or UK hoodscoop

Understood Thanks for the help Jamie!

From this thread: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=553314 I keep hearing conflicting information from various sources. SSR Professor SP1's Quanity: 4 Wheels Fronts - 17 X 9J + 16 Rears - 18 X 10.5J + 18 What are the problems I would face? I am running stock body and stock suspension (suspension will change)
-
Update! Supra is now a little bit more British!
-
Not according to the website though, the fasteneres go into the stock 4 holes, and the scoop goes on to the fasteners. The metal air guide fastens mostly on to the underhood heat shield.
-
Oh shoot, you were referring to the air guide, and not the stock twins No, I did not get the air guide. I got the 'hood air guide', but not the metal air guide that fits underneath the actual hood, and bolts onto the heatshield. The one I have funnels air down, the metal one funnels it specifically to the 3rd and 4th cylinders.
-
Not anymore
-
Oh uh. So you're saying I still need the one the scoop attaches to? Edit once again: this thread might help to other people interested in this: http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?p=7077929#post7077929 Seems the air guide is only very recommended in the case of stock twins.

AGh! Bump! I just realized I don't have the metal air guide! I guess it didn't come with the kit And I'm scheduled in the shop for installment tomorrow! What are the problems I/the shop face if I don't have the metal air guide? What are the problems I would face driving the vehicle without a metal air guide? Thanks guys. Edit: Nevermind Seems it will fit without.
-
I thought it was pretty funny - mainly because I don't like Taylor Swift and her overplayed country bulls**t
-
Bump for Homer's video! That's EXACTLY what mine sounds like, and I'm very relieved!
-
Thanks guys. I guess I'll give staggered fitment a shot, with +35 offset. Hope it works out
-
The spacers are just an option - I use them for winter tires, and could use them for my summer ones as well. I've decided on the Rota Torque wheels in black: http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=45 9.5s for the rear, 8.5s for the front. Now, what offset would I need these in? Running stock suspension, stock ride height, and I do NOT want to roll my arches. Edit: Anyone hear about Rota being crap? I'm getting told they tend to break on you... :S
-
The injectors are being swapped out as well. The I/C Is good to 600whp, at least on Reg's Supra. I got a newer stock sidemount put in (just incase shrapnel was sitting in there from the ceramics) Thanks for the comments guys. I wish I knew why someone would feed me a rock too Aweegin The car has not been tuned yet - giving it until the spring with a 4500rpm rev limiter to break in the turbo.
-
The new set up!

Whats the stupidest diy job you've done on your supra/car???

Just yesterday I installed my exhaust silencer by hand - i.e. without tools. 50km later on the highway, and it comes shooting out of the back like a turd out of a shotgun. Took me an hour to find it in the grass, and it's pretty dinged up -
It's actually Paul Walker jumping Britain in the orange Fast and the Furious Supra

I got Arkhum Asylum for the 360 - played it about 2 1/2 hours so far. 9/10 Easy Beautiful game, unique, and it's just plain fun to punch bad guys into submission.
-
You got it I absolutely love these things!
-
That grey ford, second last picture in the first post, what the heck are those called again? I love those cars - the only other car besides the Supra that can do a giant spoiler well
-
Thanks - I've been looking at black TE37s for a while now, definitely one of my favorites. Why are 19s no good? Are we talking about aesthetics, or geometry?
-
I'm running stock suspension and want 19" rims, that are black and multispoke (> 5 spokes). Those are my only requirements for new wheels. I'm having a hell of a time finding something like this which will fit a Supra arch nicely - please suggest any rims that you know that fit these requirements. I also have 1" Ichiba bolt on hubcentric spacers which I could use to alter the look. And, what kind of offset would I be looking for? That's the most confusing part! (even after a week of trying to understand charts and graphs about offset).
-
I use plastix once a year, then I apply car polish with UV protection to the outside every month or so. This is the best I got mine to:
-
I got mine off of e-bay for about 50 pounds. That was a mistake - 4 months of use and they're already falling apart, and the Supra lettering is starting to fade because the carpet around it is being ripped out slowly by my feet.
