Aero-M Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Your car looks perfect. Those wheels really do suit the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Car gets a look at by Ryan tomorrow morning to try and sort out the map. Might not have time for a Dyno run - lets see. Some pics of the interior, I like to keep it simple and clear - no gauges on show. Edited May 5, 2011 by imi (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I had the same steering wheel in my Supra, looks so much better with the carbon ring from around the horn button removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Just got back home from SRR, Ryan worked his magic and went beyond his remit to sort out the sluggish performance of the car. Blackwidow is now back - Ryan has tuned it @ 1.4bar - we will push it later on this month @ the Dyno Day. Big Thanks to Ryan again - now go and get something to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Here is a Dyno Plot from the 1st mapping session after the Syvecs was installed (dec 2010). The increase in power is down to the ECU and more so to the free flowing Whifbitz Exhaust that I now have on the car. Leave it to Ryan to comment further if there are any specific questions.

imi Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Car was down on power and torque yesterday, apparently the Turbo has seen better days (38K Miles). I could feel that the car was not performing a 100%, however acceleration and drivability is still silky smooth - The dyno proved that it is low on power. My Options: Repair the existing Turbo Repair the existing Turbo & Upgrade the cartridge to a T67DBB (is this possible and is it cost effective) Look for a new replacement Turbo that can slide into the existing Manifold and Exhaust setup (T4 / V-Band).

imi Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 For Comparison Graph with AEM V1 and Single Conversion Graph with Syvecs & Whifbitz Exhaust 2 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Sorry to hear the turbo is on its way out... hope one of the traders makes you an offer you can't refuse on a DBB turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Removed the intake pipe and took some photos. looks clean to me; shouldnt there be some oil here if there are issues with the Turbo? this bit is a oily, will clean it over the weekend - is this a reason for concern?

JamieP Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 That side just gets fresh air, check the IC pipe as thats the side oil may be present, any play in the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 As mentioned in PM, you'll need to pull one of the IC pipes post compressor, the simplest one is the pipe conecting to the throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Throttle Body side Took the intake pipe off again, no play in the turbo blades. Could it still be the turbo? Edited June 4, 2011 by imi (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 Looks very clean! No oil what so ever! Could it really be the turbo? What about the cartridge that you and Darryl were discussing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
