  1. Right I'm back, some serious comments posted!! But as per usual everyone just blabbing on like they know it all, still no factual data. Regardless, guys and girls, the car has now gone! I'm now the proud owner of an S Class Mercedes.
  2. You sound like Obama! "barmin mad" I tell ya. Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians! Practical data required and she's yours! In theory we are told that we're out of recession but does it really feel like it on the streets? No
  3. The car will be gone in one and a half weeks so please be quick guys: Data, Data, Data, Data, I need data or you will be exterminated
  4. Only because I have to. Now where is the "data" Please post and take the Supra!
  5. BTW here's a link to let you know what's up for grabs Bad Boy Supra (without air con mod!)
  6. This thread has really got everyone going
  7. Please read again and take your time to digest what I said and within which context I said it. 1/ Power intake charge temp is paramount to the power - Yes. However, as per your quote "although an FMIC is more efficient and will cool the air better it's not really required at the sort of power levels that you are looking to run" You have misunderstood what I meant here. Here, I'm merely stating FMIC to emphasize the importance/benefit of lower air intake temps. The second time I mentioned the FMIC is just stating fact - you don't really need a FMIC until you're pushing 400bhp+ as the Japs have made a great standard inter-cooler which is good for 400bhp Sorry if I somehow confused you. I love the thought of being able to increase bhp by lowering the air temperature without "edit" massive costs . Aside - according to physics this idea "will work" My car is still up for grabs 2/ If you kept in mind the "whole thread" you will have already realized this scenario has already been discussed (a shut-off valve). End result - please read thread again and try me for round 2 ding ding
  8. The simple fact remains as per initial thread guys......... Those of you who have had the pleasure, displeasure of driving the Supra TT in summer will no doubt realise the crappy response and the sheer lack of adrenaline rush compared to winter response. And, if you're a technically minded person, you'll know the dreadful consequence of high intake temps under high boost.... Personally, I've had 5 TT Supra's in the past, 2 with air con and 3 without. Yes, if removed, the car will be lighter but come on how faster is losing a few kilos really going to be?? Just take the spare out and visit the loo before you drive ya car, that should off-set it lol Fact, cooler intake charge temp increases bhp noticeably, just see the diff between winter and summer driving. This is why most people go for the FMIC. The mod, which I now have global rights on , will without a shadow of a doubt work. "I will give my Supra away if anyone can prove me wrong" The FMIC coolers which peeps carry on about are only good for those of us who have 400+ bhp at the wheel otherwise the stock cooler is more than sufficient. The Japs are very clever people ;) No-one really uses the max bhp on a daily basis anyway. But this mod will make the 3000 rpm + rev ranges awesome. Any takers for my car? lol
  9. Couldn't agree with you more. However, I don't think dyno would be necessary as you would definitely "Feel" the difference when it wakes up. But yes dyno would be beneficial for the "data" back up
  10. My car is up for sale so cannot try it on her I think apart from the tricky pipework to the engine bay it's a breeze. After taking into account the comments I would definitely attach the pipe to the standard airbox system but have the pipe coming into the airbox at a 45 degree angle (from back of car) so as to avoid "over-sucking" (just this once lol) from the air con system. Agree, without data it's pointless, but i would put my last dollar on it that it will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
  11. You mean NO2??! Surely only joking. Yes it would be for sure
