Chris Bailey Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Well i am saying this with a massive grin on my face! We finally have a supra with 2 turbos working and it feels so good to say that after what feels like a lifetime. Dad picked the supra up from Whifbitz today and picked me up from work and he gave it a little squirt on the way home and i can tell you it pulls better than it ever has before. I just want to say a massive thankyou to TRD ROB for supplying us with his 2nd hand j-spec turbos you are a star! And also a thankyou to Whifbitz for trying your best to get my dads car back on the road . AND A MASSIVE THANKYOU TO Adi (letmeshowyou) for taking his time out to try and fix the supra with his knowledge . Now we finally have 2 turbos working just in time for Suprapod all we need now is the weather to play its part. BIG BIG THANKS TO TKDDAV3 FOR GIVING HIS MORAL SUPPORT!

Swampy442 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So care to share with the class what actually fixed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 So care to share with the class what actually fixed it? A 2nd hand set of j-spec turbos which were bought of TRD Rob Just the old turbos gave up the ghost. After they were inspected it seems they had some sort of hybrid setup in them. Also whifbitz found water in the wastegate. I dont have a clue how water got in there lol. But the main thing is everything is better now!

jcbt Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So care to share with the class what actually fixed it? 1 Checked all hoses and vsv's - all ok 2 changed pressure tank that was ok and holding pressure 3 had turbos checked and found out they were some pretty poor turbo technics hybrids - quite worn but both should have worked 4 Managed to get some second hand j-specs from TRD Rob 5 put them on replumbed and hey ho 2 working turbo's - either a dodgy turbo or plumbing got sorted when refitted- personally I think it was probably something wrong with the turbo. So glad its running as it should and now looking forward to Suprapod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough about Chris, anyway I am glad your car is now fixed and healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 it's already fitted matey, just needs fine tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 it's already fitted matey, just needs fine tuning Sounds like a plan to me It running superb at the minute! Lets just hope you can make it run even sweeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 just make sure it stays off until it's been properly set up (assuming Paul didn't), remembering I didn't turn it back down again when the turbo wasn't spooling. At minimum don't try Hi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At minimum don't try Hi! It was set to hi already! It boost to about 1.2 bar i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I set the warnings about right, but still don't want them to go pop before Pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
