TomSid Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hey, Just got two of these babies. Right now the stock pipes in and out of the compressor part of both turbos are under modification to fit the new, huge in- and outlets. I also will be needing to make som new hoses/lines for water and oil. Regards Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILLGILL Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Gotta love a nice turbo *envious green* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSid Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 Yeah, they are very nice and shiny Oh, I forgot to write that I have ported the exhaust manifold and it flows 20% better now (than stock). Damn, I can´t wait starting the Supra for the first time after the install. I´m going to do the TTC also. If anyone here has hybrids, please post and write your results and thoughts about it. This is my Supra wich they are going to be installed in btw http://gabriellas.rattar.e.sexiga.nu/bilar/tomsid/images/DSCN2615.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Cool, fantastic movie and car I've seen you on Supraforums posting away. Not many Supras Sweden I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSid Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 Nope, not me driving in GIS2. I think the outcome would have been different had I driven the Supra I believe there are about 40-50 Supras (MkIV) here in Sweden and getting more, mostly imports from Germany (where I got mine) Supraforums is a good forum, but this feels alittle bit closer if you know what I mean If you are intrested, I can update this post and write how the hybrid conversion goes.

Bobbeh Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Nice to have you on the boards Tom. Yeah, plz keep us up to date. Is your car still around 450bhp? (just thinking about the figures quoted from GIS2) What power are you expecting with your new set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra_Al Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Hi and welcome. P.S. Do you realise your headlamp has fallen out?? Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSid Posted November 6, 2002 Author Share Posted November 6, 2002 Originally posted by Supra_Al Hi and welcome. P.S. Do you realise your headlamp has fallen out?? Al. Yeah, now that you mentioned it I think my Supra had over 450 bhp before the second turbo quit on me with that terrifying death whine. I have these performance- and non performance mods: RMM Downpipe Apex-i GT Spec Exhaust Apexi Power Intake system Apexi AVC-R Boost Controller Boost Cut Controller AEM Adjustable Cam Gears Fuel Dampner Bypass kit/line EGR Block of plates Cusco Front & Rear Strut Tower bars HKS TurboTimer Greddy BlowOff Valve Type S H&R Coil Overs TRD TwinDisc Clutch with lightened flywheel HKS Type S Front Mount Intercooler Greddy 60mm Boost electronic gauge w peak/hold Greddy 60mm EGT electronic gauge w peak/hold Stillen front Shift-Sport Carbonfiber hood 18" ACT 3-piece Split Rims Front: 8,5" Rear: 10" Bridgestone Potenza S-03/S-02 Front: 245/40 Rear: 285/35 I have no clue what to expect of the new turbos. I still have stock fuel and MAF so that will be a restriction. The company that made the rebuild said they were good for about 350 bhp each. I´m hoping 550 bhp though.

Ian C Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Oooh - so you can port the stock manifold, then? That must help a lot with your EGT's, yes? I have a spare one and I would like to throw it at Chris Wilson to get it reamed out in some fashion, is it worth doing, do you think? Nice everything, by the way -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_kelsey Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by TomSid If you are intrested, I can update this post and write how the hybrid conversion goes. that would be great, it looks like due to a blown turbo, I will be getting some stage 3 hybrids, so any info regarding performance and any other findings would be of interest.

randy Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hi Tom! Nice to have you on the Uk board! Post more info on the turbo build up as quite a few folks would like to go that route. Cool video! Any more planned races with your car GIS4/5? 40/50 MKIV's is quite a bit considering how small sweden is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lust2luv Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Hi Tom! Mind if I ask how much they paid you to thrash your Supe thru Stockholm? And were there any legal comebacks? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSid Posted November 8, 2002 Author Share Posted November 8, 2002 Well, as a believer in the Supra, I don´t think they thrashed my car just by driving a little bit too fast where they shouldn´t. Done it myself, so I don´t hink it should make any differense to the car. What I do know is that lots of cars couldn´t keep up with the Supra, among them, the Escort Cosworth in the movie. It´s engine broke down right after the movie, and it hasn´t been on the road since. Lots of money where put in that car I might add. What I had to do, was to change the clutch, witch was stock when they shot the movie. I had some small trouble with the stock clutch before the movie, and by the time they were finished it was totally useless. Naturally, I bought the TRD Twin disc I got what I demanded from them to have my car in the movie, but that is classified (not that much, but what mattered to me was a little bit of fame and a lot of apreciation from other car enthusiasts and especially Supra owners) That is worth alot IMHO. In Sweden, there aren´t alot of money in the "car show" industri and one should be glad for any kind of apreciation anyway. It hope I have contributed something for the Supra community, and made people realise what the Toyota Supra can do. I have not been stoped by the cops due to the movie, but I´ve got quite many angry looks from them after the movie was shot I´m sorry for any miss spellings in the text above.

TomSid Posted January 22, 2003 Author Share Posted January 22, 2003 Ok, I took some pictures of the turbos and exhaust manifold fitted. The pipes are being polished and we have measured all oil- and waterlines (steelbraided) so they are soon finished too. Will take more pics as things get ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
