Guest Banners Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi All, I'm back after a year or so of absence. Have missed you all, of course. I came to the realisation that my car was not complete, and neither were my potential upgrades, without the help of this forum. Currently, my 1991 frog sh*t green Soarer sitting on 19" staggered rims, has her standard 4.0 V8 built for cruising. Now I've abused her bolting on an Eaton M90 Supercharger she's a very lively little lady. Have upgraded the brakes to LS400 4 pots to cope, done a BFI intake upgrade and have a couple of Exhaust options, depending on if I'm on a tunnel run or not (Silencers, or NO silencers for the Tunnel runs and annoying the neighbours)! You'll see me on most of the major Tunnel Runs and some of the other Jap forums too. Hope to do some business here too and buy and sell a few parts. Nice to be back, Banners. North London.

SupraDan24 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome back, i missed you terribly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Banners Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 No dyno....I refuse to put a real number on her until she's mapped properly. Its just a waster of tyre money. Suffice to say, I am very fat, the car is huge and heavy, and she can still leave many things standing! I do have problems getting all that power down, and I also go through alot of rear tyres without too much trouble. I don't have to intentionally drift, it happens so often its nearly second nature. Maybe I need 10j rears now and to roll the arches? Hmmm.... I still can't keep up with you boys with bloody big turbo's of course. I don't do turbos, I do chargers. A very different drive, nowhere near as agressive as when a turbo spools up and kicks in. I'll get some of the latest pics in shortly. My old pics are still on the site from last time I was here. She's still not much to look at, no bling either. Sorry ! Back soon. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Mmm supercharged V8, sounds fun, what's the spec? Is it a bolt on kit or a home made job? What kind of ecu do you run? I'm liking the idea of V8 in my life! Oh and PICS PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezzler Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 What sort of supporting mods went with the charger conversion? Very interested in the work involved with supercharging the 1uz safely; really want to v8 the supra in the next few years. Is the gearbox coping okay?

Guest Banners Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 [/size] That was a bit uncalled for. Err, No and No. Branners, I bumped into you at Rockingham last year when all the Supras turned up late and I nicked a space off you at the Supra stand...You may also remember me because I was with an older cute blonde bird trying to teach her how to wax the car. Shame it was too cold for a bikini wash and wax. We're definately NOT related. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getrag Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (Soarer - a word that always reminds me of more than just a car on supra forums). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skullface Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Really interested to see this and get more info. I have a similar charger to go on my 1uz, a IHI Lysholm from a SL55 AMG. Layout, electronics used, and which age 1uz block you've used and any mods. Early 1UZ with stock fat conrods and low comp (8.5) pistons perchance?
