The shortshift feels incredible Have you actually used one on the road yet? I'd be interested to hear what you think of it when you do. I have heard bad things from Supraforums about them though, like in one case where the gear level snapped off in the owners hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B&M one normally gets the bad press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomSid Posted March 8, 2003 Author Share Posted March 8, 2003 It´s the B&M Short shift that some people had trouble with. Nothing like that has been reported with the C´s Short shifter (not that I have heard of anyways) and that´s why I bought it. I have heard that it has a better feel to it too. A friend of mine has the B&M so we will compare them once I get my Supra rollin´. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSid Posted March 17, 2003 Author Share Posted March 17, 2003 At last! Took it for a test drive yesterday! It has a very smooth feel to it. Didn´t boost more than 1 bar though but it felt really strong. I´m just waiting for electric fans and my BOV to be fitted on the IC pipe leading to the throttle body. A few more week left before I will dyno it. Here´s one pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomSid Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 Hey, I went to Rototest this morning, http://www.rototest.com. The result is both good and bad. My Supra did 413 [email protected] bar of boost and had 535nm rwt The bad news is that right now, I can´t raise the boost any more because of the actuators beeing too weak. The good new is that I think 413 RWHP is pretty darn good at only 1.16 bar of boost, and I find the torque at that boost pressure really, REALLY good. Soon I will have my turbos removed AGAIN and put some stronger actuators with aditional supporting springs to keep the wastegate´s shut at 1.4 bar. Appereantly, my ported manifold is the reason for the stock actuators couldn´t keep up. Too damn good flow. Another Supra got the exact same problem when he had his manifold ported, he couldn´t boost over 1.2 bar. Here are some pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
