sparkystav Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Just wanted to say hello, I dont actually own a Supra, I have a Lexus IS200 with a TTE charger kit. In efforts to squeeze more power out of the little 1GFE block theres a few bits and bobs i can use from the Supra. So been browsing the Buy and Sell section for awhile. So far off here, got some UK spec Calipers, Uk spec Walbro pump, and just bought myself an AEM UEGO to help tease some more horses out. Also had some great help from Terminator on here when it came to setting up my RLTC before i went to the Ring at Easter. Heres a pic of my pride and joy; Anyway, Hello.

sparkystav Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Thanks lads, lots of time and effort have been put into her. IT's not the fastest on the road, compared to the Supes for example, but with a sub 7 sec 0-60 now (compared to a 9.5 from the factory) but she gets me about.

razza Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 what's reliability like on those superchargers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkystav Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 Of the engine or the charger? Either both are excellent,the chargers are a sealed unit good for 100,000miles, and the engines have no problems with the kit as long as you keep the 0.3bar pulley that comes with it. People have upgraded to 0.5pulleys with varying efforts. Stav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks, am looking for a more practical car and am interested in the altezza's or the supercharged 200's, but don't want ot walk into a reliability issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkystav Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Currently 217bhp at the fly and 202lb'ft torque. So thats up nearly 70bhp from standard. but she moves enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 What's reliability like on those superchargers?I had a 230,000 mile Merc C230 Kompressor. No problems with the Eaton blower at that mileage. (I think TTE used an Eaton, but, anyway, the Eaton is a similar sealed unit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkystav Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Your right Gareth Merc did use exactly the same blower in the Kompressors. just different intake, and snout. Stav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
