They do increase power though mate, we've seen 30bhp just by fitting a Greddy intake on a single turbo'd Supra, nothing else changed on the car.

It'll probably be ok if the boost is kept low but I would definitely advise getting it checked once fitted to make sure the afr's are ok and there is no knock. Hopefully with the Mk2 version the boost issues will be fixed and they will run 1 bar on wastegate pressure alone, if not a restrictor ring will have to be fitted to control boost. In an ideal world a mappable ecu would be the best solution of course, ideally something stand alone.

Not yet mate, they aren't "officially" available just yet, retail price will be something around £1500 + VAT, depending on how much further work is needed with them.

Right chaps, sorry for the delay on getting this information on here, I've been so busy setting up our new branch in South Wales, just haven't had any spare time unfortunately! So basically this is where we currently are with the development of the billet hybrid turbos: Mk1 billet hybrids: The car was fitted with Whifbitz 264 cams, HKS Type R front mount intercooler, Asnu 800cc injectors with Whifbitz top feed fuel rail kit and a Syvecs ecu mapped by Ryan of course, so basically all the parts in place to produce good power. The first set we achieved 464bhp and just over 450lb/ft torque at 1.45 bar on the Dyno Dynamics at Surrey Rolling Road with Shell V-power. Running more boost just resulted in engine knock/detonation so we had to take ignition timing out and no extra power was gained. If the test car had an aftermarket inlet manifold fitted we might have gained another 20bhp or so perhaps. This isn't quite as much as we were hoping for, but still pretty good for hybrids, we don't see many go above a GENUINE 450bhp and I don't think its really possible on pump fuel with the standard manifold and pipework, putting E85/methanol in is a different story of course. We were also trying to cure the boost creeping issues you get with the Jap spec turbos which didn't quite work, with no restrictor ring they run at 0.9 bar creeping to 1.4 bar boost. With a decent ecu like the Syvecs you can run at 1.4 bar across the boost range though as you can adjust the wastegate duty to get around this problem. Mk2 billet hybrids: The Mk2 version will have the following changes: 1. A much larger wastegate fitted, 32mm or may be larger if it will fit in the housing, this hopefully should cure the boost creep to enable to be run with no restrictor ring. 2. The manifold will be receiving some heavy porting work this time, the Mk1 version only had the manifold "cleaned" up slightly. The ports on the standard manifold are tiny, smaller than the turbo itself so this must be a large restriction. 3. Different compressor wheel design, the Mk1 version spooled about the same as stock turbos which is pretty good seeing as they are much larger. The new wheel will make them spool even faster, hopefully faster than the standard jap spec turbos with any luck. The first Mk2 version is being fitted to a Supra TT next week, this particular car is only testing out the boost creeping issue as its still running standard ecu/injectors so we cant fully test them to see if they make any more bhp/torque. And I'm just doing a quote at the moment for another customer who wants to go with the latest version and that car will have Whifbitz 264 cams, Apexi Power FC so we can really test them out properly. So they are actually available to buy now, just depends if you want to wait until they are fully tested power wise or not. At the moment we are quoting them as producing around 460-470bhp. Any questions just ask. Thanks Paul

Sorry guys, I've been having a few problems with the floor in the workshop, it's pretty much sorted now though. Just finishing off some building work out the front and we will be good to go. I'll let you all know ASAP Cheers Paul

Send those pics over to me mate, I can advertise it for you!!!

I'll update this thread soon as I get a spare half hour, to type it all out with where we where we currently are with them, dyno sheet, etc. etc.

Whats being brushed under the carpet?

They work with the stock flywheels yes and the clutches come with there own cover plate.

This would be the clutch for you http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php/toyota/supra/clutches-flywheels/spec-clutch-205.html drives almost like a standard clutch.

The Spec clutches I sell are much better, how much torque do you need it to handle?

I can supply Cobra and Luke harnesses if needed mate.

The flappy paddles will be with me Friday

I do all the Ridox parts mate!

In stock here if needed

How about this!

Are they USA power figures you are quoting? Unless you are using E85 of course?

Yep, all will be revealed very soon.

That's the spirit!

The flappy paddle shifters is going to be great mate!

It's not that bad, I get a very good rate on shipping to the USA actually. Why, what do you need?

Still can't stop looking at the pictures of this baby!

Yes of course!

It certainly is a nice way of spreading the costs out, you can put the labour on finance as well as the parts don't forget. You can have your big brake conversion, single turbo conversion, engine rebuilds, etc. etc. and pay it off over anything from 6 months to 3 years depending on what you can afford per month. Or just pay by credit card, Paypal or cash, whatever suits.
