j_jza80 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Took my car to RS tuning in Leeds today with a few other lads (Including forum members Jon and Karl) for a go on the dyno, with some interesting results. The results were amazing, the dyno operator said he'd never seen anything like it. Just look at that area under the curve... Apparently Tiptronics are difficult to dyno. I was still the 3rd most powerful car there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Dyno operators seem to get younger and younger. How old was this one, two and a half? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 He did look rather young. First time i've seen a dyno operator using an etch-a-sketch too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gearbox management is obviously very different to the regular autos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 impressive, can you not lock the tiptronic into a gear like on the regular auto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Great picture, stock Supra is such a great looking car given its age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 What sort of figures should you see on a dyno for a turbo Supra? 242 seems a bit low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 impressive, can you not lock the tiptronic into a gear like on the regular auto? I'm not 100% sure what the issue was as I wasn't operating the car on the dyno, but apparently the revs would just shoot up at around 3000rpm and the car would try to launch off the dyno He tried the gearbox in all modes.

j_jza80 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 What sort of figures should you see on a dyno for a turbo Supra? 242 seems a bit low? They couldn't measure the power as the car was coming off the rollers. I'm only on lowish boost due to an issue with the sequential turbo system, but I reckon it should be circa 350hp as it is. It feels strong on the road, and the engine is in fantastic health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I suspect the difference is that they are not long term members of the forum, or Supra specialists. In fact, it seemed like they have had very little involvement with Supras, their workshop was full of turbocharged hot hatches. This is the first time I have ever used them, and i am in no way affiliated with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries TBH I have no idea why you haven't applied for/or been granted a trader status, as your work is fairly unique and fits well with the forum. But whatever your/their reasons are, the situation won't be improved by winding up the mods. I'm not having a pop either, just friendly advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep my work life seperate as I am a genuine huge supra fan and for the first 7 years of my membership know body really new that I worked with cars. But if people mention I have worked on there cars I can't help that. I don't mind by any means but its out of my hands. I'm pretty sure the day I balls something up on a mega scale and its posted about itle be left for all to see . Sorry about me throwing my teddy in your thread though.

Strange? By rights it should just be left in third and dyno'd in that gear with manu mode engaged, have you any other mods that could have conflicted with the gearbox? What power did the other supras make today at the dyno, ours in the NE went well with good numbers be interesting to compare the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
