Guest Nicholas Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi all, As some of you know I recently aquired a 1999 VVTI TT 6 speed supra in quicksilver and last weekend I started work on "project quicksilver". The plan is to build a useable 600bhp single turbo "street" supra. I have aquired quite a few parts already and the project started slowly last weekend. All the work on my car will be done by myself and Ashbhp. The spec list is as follows: - Engine/transmission/exhaust Stock 2JZGTE VVTI block Cams - TBC HKS T51 Kai bb turbo kit HKS SSQV dump valve VirtualWorks / full-race intake plenum Standard 6 speed getrag box Centerforce dual friction clutch Boost Logic 4” exhaust Wheels/Tires/Brakes Stop-tech Front 4 piston brake kit with 355mm discs Brembo Rear 4piston brake kit with 13.5" discs 18” Volk TE37’s in black wrapped in Toyo T1-R’s Cooling HKS R-type FMIC kit Mocal 19 row oil cooler Fluidyne Rad Fuelling Twin walbro/denso fuel pumps Virtualworks fuel rail Delphi 96lb injectors Aeromotive FPR Suspension HKS Hypermax III suspension Cusco front carbon strut brace Cusco rear carbon strut brace Electronics ECU – TBC but will be used to control boost Defi Boost & EGT gauges AEM AFR gauge Exterior Bone stock I will update this thread on a monthly basis with pics as the project unfolds Nick.

tooquicktostop Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sounds like another great build, look forward to the updates, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Sounds good but why go with a T51 if you want 600bhp, maybe a T04z would be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Looks like a nice project. You haven't mentioned internals on the list... will you be using a stock bottom end? What boost will you want to run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Nice one Its like a disease with you isnt it lol it sure is Rob, an expensive disease I wonder if I'll loose yet another girlfriend due to the car Good luck Nick Sounds like a great project. Thanks Edd! sounds great Nick:) May pop in for a look if you want,working in Blaby at the moment. I'll give you a shout bud:cool: Hey Rich, long time no see! I'm only a few miles from blaby mate so give me a shout and we'll have a beer or two Looks like a nice project. You haven't mentioned internals on the list... will you be using a stock bottom end? What boost will you want to run? Stock bottom to start with Gaz the car has only covered 50k miles so should be ok for a while. bost wise I should think 1.4-1.5 bar.

Brilliant will watch with interest It will be good to see how much a decent stock engine can take safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 If you are going to see circa 600bhp at least get some arp's in the bottom end.......you'll be rebuilding sooner than you think if you don't John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intend to stay stock to begin with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Oh, you mean with your current car? You have the same turbo, wheels and brakes, is that it? (I dunno your spec these days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Oh, you mean with your current car? You have the same turbo, wheels and brakes, is that it? (I dunno your spec these days) Thats right Jake Oh and the same strut braces To be fair, it was a fairly crap list of similarities! EDIT - not the same turbo - in fact i seem to be heading for a 'fail' pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Very nice setup, I would like that very much, Kopite has started to struggle with the VVTI top end and is planning on swapping it for a non-VVTi one, thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 All the work on my car will be done by myself and Ashbhp. Nice work Nick - I wished I lived closer to Ash as he could then help me build something uber-fast(well, he could build and I would make the tea:D). Good luck - great project:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 it was a fairly crap list of similarities! EDIT - not the same turbo That explains my confusion then. I thought maybe you were starting on a new project already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicholas Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Very nice setup, I would like that very much, Kopite has started to struggle with the VVTI top end and is planning on swapping it for a non-VVTi one, thoughts? I've looked into this as the gear ratios of the V161 are shorter than the V160 IIRC at 190mph in 6th you're at 6532rpm with the V161 and and at 6333rpm with the V160 so there is quite a difference but I don't think it will hold the car back in anyway. Also I believe due to the cam variator the VVTI engine reduces lag slightly against the none VVTI when using a big turbo so it would be a good mix with the HKS T51. I guess time will tell Edited June 21, 2008 by Nicholas (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
