Some great pictures there guys!!! VVTI information and tuning seems to be very thin on the groud, couldn't hardly find anything on the newer stlye engine when I bought mine! Great to see just for information rather than anything else lots of threads around, but I think the VVTI has more potential just costs more or am I wrong opinions? Please to meet you both by the way......> Pudsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19pjbsupra97 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 i dont know about the VVTi have more potential... as an all around street car with 500whp i belive it does but over here in the states the normal GTEs are pushing 1400whp and driving on the streets... thats alot but i want to have a very nice twin turbo setup with around 600whp so i think its good for me and its different as i haven't seen one of these in person over here in the states as they didnt come with them... i couldn't find a thread with anything close to this so this is my contribution to the Supra community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This is my VVTI it makes 577bhp running a single GT67 DBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19pjbsupra97 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 can i see the dyno graph of that beautiful car? and i have heard that the VVTi has a lot of wasted spark... would it be worth it for a nice HKS DLI spark amplifier? i think it will help with efficiency?

Was thinking of building a very strong twin turbo, rather like the twin hks kits perhaps with a stroker too for some extra torque. I will keep an eye on your progress, should make for a very usable car in all aspects! kslb;2352225, Pleased to meet you, wicked ride that one. Did you have to do any additional work over what the earlier engines do to go single. Great looking car, bet it goes really well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 can i see the dyno graph of that beautiful car? and i have heard that the VVTi has a lot of wasted spark... would it be worth it for a nice HKS DLI spark amplifier? i think it will help with efficiency? When I had it mapped I had an HKS DLI ready to go on but the mapper told me it was not required for the vvti so it was not used. I then had it remapped by RyanG (forum member, 2BarTuning) and he did not have any problems mapping it. The pre vvti apparently needed is but not the vvti. So a chance to save a bit on the build cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as I am aware with the exception of DBW delete but my build thread is on here somewhere I think. Thanks for the comments There is more pics in my garage with a full spec list.
