supra10000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) thats exactly what i was thinking when i was researching this claim! since we put the wastegate system on it has made the car so much quicker as the turbos aint getting chocked up with all the gases. the way i see it the wastegate takes these pressures away allowing the turbos to work much more freely therefore making it quicker (these are my words not the tuners but its summit like that). I remember this being explained to me when we were doing the wastegate MOD which as it goes HE paid for so hes hardly going to be filling me with rubbish when hes paying for it.

supra10000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 the gz model is the top of the range with all the extras, just a quick look at your pics and i see no cruise control for a start. Whats the model code? It is on the chassis plate and will start with either al or aj alpqz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra10000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 My guess is 445bhp. From what I can understand all you have done is sent your Turbos off to be refurbished. It's Just not possible sorry mate. Well if your in cardiff come see it ill meet you half way. theres been so much more done than just the turbos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestorm Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well it really isn't your way is it. its some guy whos told you that you can do it like that and probably sold you a bunch more mods that you dont need and told you that he dont neeed to dyno cos hes right. Whats his full name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra10000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 And going back to the wastegate he will quite happily explain how and why you get more power with the wastegate to whoever wants to know. He cant believe that people here reckon they know everything but yet say you wont get more power ..Surely someone who got a lot of knowledge can give him a ring and then they can explain this a lot better than me !!!!

RobSheffield Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Has anyone called CR Turbos on 01425 638426? Ill do it but i dont want to do it if 30 guys have already done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBDJ Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 since we put the wastegate system on it has made the car so much quicker as the turbos aint getting chocked up with all the gases. the way i see it the wastegate takes these pressures away allowing the turbos to work much more freely therefore making it quicker (these are my words not the tuners but its summit like that). I remember this being explained to me when we were doing the wastegate MOD which as it goes HE paid for so hes hardly going to be filling me with rubbish when hes paying for it. The main purpose of the wastegate is boost control. To do this, it diverts exhaust gas away from the exhaust turbine wheel. This obviously then controls the speed the compressor wheel rotates at, thus regulating the boost. So by taking the exhaust gas away, it limits the boost generated, which puts a limit on the power available from the turbo, and also stops you from melting your engine into a T2-style pool of molten metal. It doesn't however stop the system getting choked up - turbos need exhaust gas to work. I hate to say it, but I've seen massive claims by a lot of hybrid turbo manufacturers, but I can't remember the last time I saw anyone reach that upper limit with one - and that's not just limited to Supras either.

CardiffSupra Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The thing is mate some people on here have worked with Supras for years and years and know them better than they know their wives, Thats why you should listen to them not your Tuner, Has he ever done this to a Supra before?

Yes he done a very similar set up in Japan when racing many moons ago. And as for you saying people know these supras like their wives your wrong They know everything about singles but sounds like nothing about twins when modified in this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBDJ Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm sorry, but I can't see how you think switching from an internal to external wastegate will give you massive power gains. The usual reasons are: Better boost control - internal wastegates are often too small to flow sufficient exhaust gas away from the turbine, which results in overboost. Noise - some people love having their system vented to air by a "screamer pipe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for you saying people know these supras like their wives your wrong They know everything about singles but sounds like nothing about twins when modified in this way I think it's strange that since you joined you've been on here more than most of the really addicted members. Are you on any other forums? (Obviously not car ones due to your lack of knowledge ) I'm still calling bullshit on this, either the member is some kind of troll/plant or he's been completely ruined by a tuner. Either way I feel quite sorry for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
