Josh Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Here are some of the shots from the Photoshoot that the photographer sent me The GTR won overall by 1 point (handling) but the Supra came 2nd overall in the JP100. It worked out well though, as I wouldn't have been able to make the final tomorrow anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbuddy Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 your car is nicer josh . When are you going to single that beast anyway, considering you got a 6 speed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 your car is nicer josh . When are you going to single that beast anyway, considering you got a 6 speed . Well it was singled before, so a lot of the parts are all ready there There's no way I could justify it anyway at the mo'. Thank though. Wish it was lowered and I had the caliper decals on for the shoot but it's ok as there are only a few pics in the mag and you can't really notice anything I'd want to change anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice shots What parts are still there from when it was singled? Uprated clutch (can't remember what exactly), uprated injectors (can't remember what or if I even know), Walbro fuel pump. There may be other things, but I can't think at the mo'.

jcbt Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nice one Josh - bought the magazine and enjoyed the write up. Finishing second by one point is no disgrace and second again in the overall list just shows how good your supra is when you look at the cars you beat. I know which one I prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Do you have an aftermarket ECU then? Nope, stock AFAIK. I've had the cover off when I was looking at where to fit the FCD and it all looks stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Front discs maybe. But you can't see them in the mag The brakes do need a refurb and new new discs and pads which are next on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the cover off when I was looking at where to fit the FCD and it all looks stock Ahh, the injectors will be stock then. For aftermarket injectors you will need something controlling them as the stock ECU will make them overfuel. Those are some great pics of the car BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the stupidness but I don't know much about the fuel system. I know you need a resistor pack or something to change the injectors in either a UK spec or J-spec. Not sure.

Scott Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Thanks man Would a resistor pack do anything? Sorry for the stupidness but I don't know much about the fuel system. I know you need a resistor pack or something to change the injectors in either a UK spec or J-spec. Not sure. Thanks all The UK cars come with 550cc low impedance injectors, a resistor pack is required in order for the ECU to control them. I'm not sure exactly what difference the low impedance vs high impediance characteristics are, I just know that UKs come with them as stock and they also have the resistor pack as stock. Jspecs have high impedance injectors as stock and therefor don't require any resistor pack, if fitting UK spec 550cc injectors (or any low impedance injectors for that matter) then a resistor pack must be fitted. This has no bearing on the size of the injectors though. The bigger the injectors the more fuel you need to trim for the same boost levels. If you fitted 1100cc injectors with no change to the fuel management then the ECU would basially be firing in twice as much fuel as it thinks it is. When you change the injectors you need to re-map the ECU to let it know that the injectors are bigger and therefor don't need to be open for as long a pulse. Or something like that lol. Basically bigger injectors = aftermarket fuel control (Either standalone or piggyback). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as far as you know, if bigger injectors were fitted with the stock ECU, it'd still work but it would just use a lot more fuel? It does seem quite thirsty, but it may just be my driving style Is there an easy way to check the injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem quite thirsty, but it may just be my driving style Is there an easy way to check the injectors? In theory yes, in reality the car generally wouldn't run though. If it had say 600cc injectors then it might well run, much above that and it'll run PIG rich and smoke like a machine. In my example I used 1100cc injectors, that was just a simple comparison to the 550cc injectors... in that instance the car wouldn't even start. I doubt very much that Si would have given the car to you with aftermarket injectors with no control in place so I wouldn't worry about it. As for using a lot of fuel that will be down to your right foot and your O2 sensors, unmapped injectors would have shown their hand far more spectacularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
