TooColdToDrive Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Did 4 consecutive 1/4 mile runs in my 93 JSpec TT Auto, turbo noise changed. Reg Reimer & Team at RCTS in Calgary diagnosed it and took some pretty pictures for me! Reg thinks someone fed me a rock while the car was sitting around with its hood up. 1st picture: Don't mind the bugs on the bumper, spent 800km on the Highway to get it to RCTS. 2nd and 3rd pictures: 4th picture: Similar to what should be going in. I've decided to go single HKS turbo (T04Z), brand new, with HKS Vpro and AFK. Lucky enough that the only shop in Canada who is HKS pro certified is Reg's. Along with a new rad, timing belt, water pump, brakes, HKS Titanium racing exhaust, TRD 320km/h speedo, and a SLD, it's going to be a very expensive upgrade. We'll see how the car handles after all this though. Plan is to run the t04z 10psi, producing about 400 wheel hp, enough so that I can run stock intercooler, injectors, and auto transmission. Any tips/comments on the build? Edited August 20, 2009 by TooColdToDrive (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 would be a waste of a single imo, probably not very nice to drive & less responsive than your current setup If you only want 400bhp go with some hybrid stock based twins, As for going single, why a T04z go for one of the new Billet turbos.

And i've only ever heard a couple of good stories about hybrid turbos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 From what I understand of the term BHP, I'm aiming for about 520 BHP or 400 wheel HP. Correct me if I'm wrong though. As far as hybrid twins/Billet turbos go, I wanted (a) brand new turbo/s, and something this shop was comfortable installing - which fell on the t04z. Good shops are hard to come by where I live, so I try to suit my upgrades with what this shop is known for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 i've read a lot of good things on the T04Z on here, make good power too mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 you need about 450rwhp to get 520bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Makes sense, so around 475 BHP then? Thanks Nigel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) sorry, miss-read the WHP bit[sAD][/sAD] Reg should be comfortable mapping that without any problems, But I would have thought you would need to replace the injectors for 650's as a minimum. I would also think that if 450whp is all your after, a T61 would be better for a faster spool. Have a look here to get an idea what people are running http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=129455 Edited August 20, 2009 by foodfreak (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your car looks to be a j-spec from the pics? You wont get anywhere near a real 520fly bhp or 400whp from 440cc injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a newer stock sidemount put in (just incase shrapnel was sitting in there from the ceramics) Thanks for the comments guys. I wish I knew why someone would feed me a rock too Aweegin The car has not been tuned yet - giving it until the spring with a 4500rpm rev limiter to break in the turbo.

TooColdToDrive Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Update! Supra is now a little bit more British! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooColdToDrive Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 I'm using this as my impromptu build thread now. New wheels are polished and in the mail! Also, a quick shot of the new brembro rotors - edit, will have to put these up later. In the future: Tune to 400-450 wheel HP in the spring. Far future: Built auto tranny? To put the TO4Z through its paces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooColdToDrive Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Only the rotors are Brembos, pads are Hawks. Calipers are still stock so not the pretty Brembros If you want to see the rotors, I'll definitely post a picture though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
