Flip: You know what your missing then I do 80 miles a day on M roads, noise it not a major problem, you notice how much quieter other cars are when your in them but, VTECing passed Mundeo more than makes up for the Tegs noise. Adam: I know what you mean about top speed, even with the Tegs low max speed of 140ish MPH, I'm thinking of getting a higher ratio final drive (gearbox has to come out for scyncho replacement) to reduce that down a bit and gain a little more lower down, at realistic road speeds. Spoon and ATS even do a crossgear set the lowers 5th down to about the same as 4th is on the standard car, and positions the other gears so reves never drop below 6500rpm on shifting from 8000rpm in every gear, would make M road driving unbareable though, but fantastic for the track.

Did you test drive one?

I half considered an NA after I crashed the TT, due to price and insurance costs, but the ITR came up and never got to have a look at one.

RS232 and possibly USB also. I didn't realise it was so cheap until I looked on Taka Kaira, Looking at the way it adjusts fuel there seems to be a simple method to reduce fuel to the injectors (the same way as the S-AFC does by reducing air-flow/map signal), but there also seems to be some settings called sub injectors which I wasn't too sure about but mkiv.com is down again and can't look into it more, of cause it also controls two extra injectors if you want to go that route.

It's a piggy back unit that can adjust fueling timing and a few other things. Some info here. http://mkiv.com/tmp/emanage/emanage_software_manual/index.html And wiring diagram for Supra TT here. http://mkiv.com/tmp/emanage/emanage_software_manual/23.JPG Looks more capable than most of the other units on the market, looks like it adjusts fueling directly (taps into the injector wires like the RLTC, and posisbly the timing as well (all wires are tapped), also runs extra injectors if needed. Looks to be about 200 quid plus delivery and taxes from http://www.takakaira.co.jp The complete ECU replacement is the better overall solution.

ARe you looking at an NA or Twin Turbo, the TT only came with a 6 speed for the manuals, the NA had 5 speed and later 6 speed as an option on some models.

Have to agree with you there. IF 1100 is correct then it's a very good price for a full replacement ECU with full data logging. But the e-manage is much much cheaper so may be worth a look for someone on a budget that doesn't need the total tunability of the AEM ECU.

Wonder if the Greddy E-manage may be the piggy back answer for the Supra?

That's only the full kits (cams, springs (not yet available), retainers, and any other stuff they throw in) that are not available. The cams themselves are available for 46,000Yen each

If they arer anything like the Integra ones they will have a very aggressive ramp and may be holding the valve open wider for longer than the HKS, can't tell without seeing the profile charts.

Don't know I just asked about prices on a full JUN camkit for the Teg (cams, springs, Ti retainers, cam gears) and got a reply from the Executive President Junichi Tanaka!!

You picked the wrong engine for high rev living JUN is what I'll be using for my cam replacement, quality stuff and if you e-mail them the CEO e-mails you back!!!

I think so http://www.whiteline.com.au/ KTOY04X - SUPRA JZA80 THE WORKS: $1,613.64 Shipping to: Europe incl UK - via Post: $364.00 Total Order: AU$1,977.64 (Australian Dollars) At current exchange is 748.662 GBP if you get stung for full duty and VAT then it works out about 967 GBP Oh, and they do an Integra Type R kit now, wallet emptying, can't stop fingers typeing credit card details.....

4 x springs to whitelines spec 4 x adjustable Konis re-vavled to whiteline spec, adjustable height 1 x front anti-roll bar 50% uprated, and bushing 1 x rear anti-roll bar 33% uprated (I think), and bushung 1 set front front lower suspension poly bushes 1 set front rear lower suspension poly bushes 1 set uprated anti-roll bar drop links (front) best to go to their site all details there.

Sorry, I can tell you what the kit contains, but as to spring strengths etc, I don't have the specs.

First problem is going to be finding 10 supra owners who are going to spend on a suspension kit. Loads of people talk about it but how many have actually paid for more then basic springs or spring/shocks. the Whiteline kit costs less than 1K and includes all most people would NEED, Some may WANT fully adjustable systems but not many actually NEED then and are willing to spend the sort of money you need to get one.

Shows both boost and temp on the gauge, I tapped mine into the manifold. I bought a boost fitting and hose when I got the gauge from Demontweeks

Not setting my sites too high yet

LOL

Do you have anymore pictures of the install? Nope that's all I took of it, very easy really, you just replace two pieces of tubing already there with the bypass and tubing, you can even just use a bit of tubing between the bleed and the tee so you dont have to do any fabrication and see if you like the effect. You then adjust the valve, you can never get more boost than you have set on turbo no 2 because if you set it higher then the boost is controlled by the wastegate on turbo 2/ and boost controller, but if you do set it higher then you loose all pre-spool. If you dont like the effect you can even just stut the valve and you back to standard setup until you can be bothered to replace the old pipes, or you can open it up completely and run with no pre-spool at all and first turbo boost being controlled by your 'primary' boost controller. I can get the Bleed "H" made no problem...really interested in this mod...can't believe we didn't know about it. It's known about on the supraforums, not sure anyone has documented it on www.mkiv.com Are there any negative side effects? Some people say removing all pre-spool will damage turbo 2 when it comes on line as it's moving from total rest to high speed very quickly. By doing the mod you will have less pre-spool, so you may decrease the life of you second turbo (but then by increasing boost in any manner you are probably doing that anyway ask JB), you may also decrease the life of you first turbo with the increased boost but it will probably be OK if you sensible. I had mine set to 1.0bar on first and 1.2bar via an APEXi AVC-R on second, and it felt very just right when turbo 2 came in. Any mods you do that increase the boost to increase the performance of the engine is likely to be detrimental to the turbos over time. The only other thing I can think of was Terry Saunders had a hesitation when turbo 2 came in but I'm not sure if it was down to the bleed or the bleed and a combination of all the other stuff he had on his engine to support is wild hybrids.

That's exactly right, basically on standard boost controller setups the pre-spool circuit stops you getting any more than standard boost on the first turbo. By adding the simple tee, and valve into the hoses you stop the pre-spool circuit coming in until your higher set boost (by way of the valve), you get more boost on turbo 1 and less of a drastic transition when turbo 2 comes on line. Of cause you can't make as much boost on turbo 1 as you have set on turbo 2 using this method because otherwise you would never get pre-spool :o. I ran all three methods (standard pre-spool, no pre-spool and "adjusted" pre-spool) and found the later to be the best IMO.

I am presuming () that Martin Fs car is running non standard boost which is making much bigger power on the second turbo, Martin I have some info that can get you roud some of that while still keeping the pre-spool on turbo 2 http://members.tripod.com/derestricted/supra/mysupra/bleedert.htm I even have the said device in my garage somewhere if you want to try it.

What mods have you got eyefi, if it's just the exhaust I would be suprised if it would make much difference to stock with both cats in. Your at wheel figures look more "normal" the at engine figures look all messed up IMO. (Edited by HardHead42 at 8:53 pm on April 12, 2002)

Any chance of a supplier contact?
